Dead rising 2 has to be the most overrated game!

Dead rising 2 was a complete dissapointment.

There where so many issues so I'll just try to name some of them:

• The story- it was very poor, I didn't feel any compassion for the characters or wanted to hear about them more.
• The main character -the tipical "cut off" from action movies, he is so tough that when some guy at the beggining doesn't know his doughters name he acts like a jerk about it saying in a rude voice: HER NAME IS BLA BLA!!!!! he is such an outsider to others and yet a loving father to his doughter - what a diversity of the character!! (irony)
• The time limits- this has to be one of the most idiotic ideas in the modern gaming! For some reason I am forced to constantly rush in a free roaming game where all the fun should be exploring. There are lot's of weapon combinations, but it doesn't matter I won't be having time to play abound with them
• The combat -it leaves so much to be desired. Press mouse 1 for a simple swing and hold it for a stronger swing. Sorry I wish that in the game where 90% of the time I'm killing zombies they would offer me a bit more variety. The combat seemes like it was taken from GTA III.
• The psychos -they were marketed as very unique part of the game and that you will have to figure them out in order to kill them. But in reality they are just enemies that are made way too strong, and actually it's one of the weaker parts of the game.
• Weapons break too quickly! -like ten swings with a bat and it's gone.
• Lots of weapons doesn't necesarally mean it can save the game -sure a lot of weapons you can use is a plus, but it seemed like a riddiculious GTA mod where you get all kinds of crazy guns.

Your thoughts?

It sounds like you are bad at the game.

I mean, umad? Or ubad bro?

Also you should stop spamming new threads here with your thoughts, honestly this is blog material to me.

Yeah that was my only problem with the game. Weapons breaking just sound like you don't know how to deal with that, especially when its one of the few games people actually rave about that feature in. Also, using "lots of weapons" as a complaint seems... I don't know, like trying to force in one last bad thing, but all you have left are good things? And honestly, would you rather have a caring father figure motorcyclist main hero, or Space Marine #4562789568 to play as? Complaining about him being too much like others and not being likeable is a stretch at best and a complete farce at worse, even if he isn't the best character ever he's far from a bad character.

And you know, like I said, this seems like total blog stuff. No real room for debate or discussion, just someone telling us his negativethoughts on a two year old game.

Nope the most ovverated game ever is Skyrim. By a mile.

I think you'll find The Witcher 2 is the most overrated game. It's this industry's The Dark Knight.

Na its a good game....

which are you gonna say is overrated next?

Big rigs: Over the road racing ? :shock:

You do realise if you don't want to do the timer missions, you can bugger all and go kill zombies for until day 3 comes? You'll fail the story but you can keep playing. And that would be a long time too.

The time limit is why i stopped playing it, i wanted to make new weapons but always run out of time, pointless... or maybe im just bat at this game, anyway i hope there will be no time limit in dead rising 3 :D

I hated it. I don't like games that wear their mechanics on their sleeve and make it obvious what they are trying to force the player to do.

I agree with half of your thopughts but theres one more to add. No cooperative split-screen.

off topic but is dead island fun when playing by yourself or is it one of those games like left 4 dead where its best to play with other players?

im not sure about dead rising 2 or its expansion pack but the first game had a mode where there was no time limit though you have to keep eating once and while and food was scarce so you have to kill people and psycho's to get food and weapons
