My top is 8kish.
My top is like 15,000. Suck it.
As a side note, when you get a few hours to just run around and do whatever you want between missions this game really shines. I can't wait to unlock infinity mode, that's going to be fucking awesome.

The game is fun and I really can't wait to play it after work--yeah the escort missions ccan be frustrating but are optional. There is only one safezone and some of the people are on the other side of the map. The search and rescue aspect of the game appeals to me though. It feels shitty when you see so and so has died all over your screen.Quote:

All true. You also get major PPs for safe delivery of civilians. If nothing else, it gives you some incentive to cruise around the map (which is a lot bigger than I expected) rather than just hanging out in one place slaughtering zombies as in the demo.Quote:

Is there a way to turn the lights back on in the mall? Running around in the dark sucks donkey cock.
LOL. I ended up in some parking tunnel and it was wall to wall zombies. Awesome
Battle Axe owns Zombie ass! Same goes for the Sword.(not the katana)
Figured out a way to use a light, grab a lightsaber! As long as its somewhere in your inventory you get a nice red glow that helps a good amount.
Anyone else see their escort get 69ed?
I was running around North Plaza getting lost and one of the guys I was escorting got killed. It showed this woman zombie getting his face between her legs while she bent over and chewed his dick off.
Completely WTF
---
Awesome game though. The Bosses(Psychopaths) are crazy sons of bitches.
EDIT: Also the lights turn off because the mall is officially "closed". I don't really pay attention to the clock but I figure around 8:00 am the lights come back on.
Oh and the rest of the Megaman costume is an unlockable I hear.
Final was able to play this tonight. The game is pretty good, and the degree of difficulty is much better than I thought it would be. It's not quite as simple as finding a decent weopon and making an easy path through thr zombies. Early on, you can't hold on to weopons for too long. The save system is a bit messed up, and I saved and quit only to find out I had to start all over again from the beginning. Other than that though, the game is great. Best moment so far has been tearing through a plethora of zombies with the lawn mower.
Which is going to screw you, as all CASES fit into a time frame.Quote:

Sup your mom. Welcome to The Next Level forums. :tu:
if you go to the kids clothing store you can put on some little boys clothes, lol
so right now (in the game not irl) im running around in some tight shorts and a shirt that looks like a midriff plus im wearing a kobun head.
found a scythe it rips off tthe zombies head and gives you 100pp for each one
there is a book that will show you where to take pictures if you have it equipped. there are some purple camera pics which mean erotica. nothing like taking pics of a female zombie crotch (yes thats where the target showed up) and getting bonus points
this game is nuts so much crazy stuff to do

That's pretty accurate. I need Otis to shut the fuck up for an hour or two so I can concentrate on staying alive. Also, I think Frank is at level 9 or 10 and I haven't received a single stat boost on Speed -- having a Quickstep drink or two isn't cutting it for the long haul.Quote:

Those dumb bastards earned it. Don't feel bad for them.
To me, there are three examples of the "next generation" on the 360: GRAW, Oblivion, and now this. Each one has gotten a little further away from what was possible a year ago.Quote:

The game is lot more tense than the demo lets on.

Also, the glowing sword is not the light saber from the videos we saw, you unlock the real thing as well.
I know I could check when I get home, but clue me in as to what the "Genocider" Achievment entails. I assume a whole lot of killing...
It's 53,000 some zombies killed in a single play through. I'm not sure if doing it in infinity mode counts but I don't see why it wouldn't.

Ok, that really good to know. I have a few questions for ya Mog. First, where dod you get your 50 targets in a picture? I've been trying outdoors and and everywhere, and even though I know I can see far more than 50, it only picks up about 20-30. Also does the walking on zombies for 33 ft have to be done in one run or just a sum total?Quote:

Run to the edge of the chaos and get as much of the zombies on the ground and standing behind them as you can.Quote:

As a side note, I would like an explination on how to walk 33 feet on the zombies; when I stand on their shoulders I just fall off again.
brett: to fully walk on zombies you need them clustered(ie; if there's nobody next to your zombie, then you have no-one to step on to continue walking).
end result? do it in the parking garage as they will meander towards you as you move around, giving you more and more 'space' to move on.

Rooftop, right at the start of the game (when rescuing the elderly couple). There are two large clusters of zombies below the back right corner of the rooftop. Zoom in through the fence, and you should get the shot easily. And safely.Quote:

Drive back out of the tunnels till it loads. Jump back into the car and repeat. The best clusters of zombies to drive over are right next to the vans. I just kept driving forwards and backing up over the bitches.
I had to get the achievement because its just so damn fun to run the fuckers down.
I got it right in the beginning of the game when the zombies are still barracaded outside the mall and the survivors are trying to build up the blockade. Just got all 4 doors to the mall in frame.Quote:

If you walk next to the walls, you can make it to the doors without the convicts attacking you.Quote:

Well, when I first ran through (with Sophie in tow), they took shots at me, but didn't really go out of their way to kill me.
Made it to the other side, entrance blocked by tons of zombies mowed them mofos down with the lawnmower and met Brad, where we fought Carlito in the old style western restaurant. I sucked, so Brad didn't make it (as well as about 3 other scoop cases ending). I finally killed the fucker, but I don't know how to reach him on that level he's on to retrieve his weapon, which is sorely needed.
Anybody fought this guy? Any strategies/tips? How the fuck do you get up there and get his weapon from him?
Oh, back to the convicts in the mall courtyard, yeah, when I came back out to go back to the other side of the mall (now that Brad was dead and my other scoop cases ran out of time), those convicts made it their LIFE'S MISSION to FUCK ME UP. Which they did, handily.
I still think I could've avoided them, but the yard is swarming with zombies, and you're bound to get clusterfucked before you can completely get away from the convicts.
Man, what's wrong with society? The humans are fucking me up more than the zombies... That little bitch Kent actually SHOT me when I accidentally clobbered him.
Man, this game rocks.
No, none of us are past the first half hour of the game either.Quote:

(now that Brad was dead and my other scoop cases ran out of time)
There's like, a million paths that you can take where zombies aren't even within 5 feet of you. I've ran through the center park probably 50 times in my messing arounds (load a game then run around learning weapon locations and store locations then don't save) and I've never once been caught by a zombie when I wasn't getting in fights on purpose.Quote:

And shit, if you're really having such a hard time staying on the clear paths instaed of running straight into groups of zombies, mix a pie and an OJ to make an untouchable smoothie and drink it as soon as you step outside.
Just finished clearing all the cases and now I am just sitting on the helipad till 12. I'm really looking forward to going back through and trying to fight some bosses. Hell there were some parts of the mall I never even explored or went into so that will add some to the next playthrough.
Walking to the food court there's no problem. Walking from the food court, it's 'get that foo nigga' and instant clobbering. I made it back to complete the case but had to ditch two survivors I was working on.Quote:

Yeah, I really don't understand how they could have come up with such an awful save system. Didn't they even play the game and realize that it sucks? I'm managing with it as it does hinder the game somewhat, but all in all, I've fully enjoyed the game.Quote:

Capcom is very arrogant about forcing their annoying save systems on people. Sometimes it pays off, and the game is actually better for it (RE), sometimes it makes you just not want to play (VJ).
I had one hour until the third case started and I was able to run to the hardware store, fight the crazy guy and get back in time. It was incredible.
I think I'll actually go through the game today. So far I've spent 95% of my time loading saves and fucking around, but now I think the smart thing to do would be to unlock overtime mode, beat that and then get infinity mode so I can really take care of shit. Or maybe even start a second run through and only worry about saving people becuase really there's three ways to play the 72 hour mode and it's near impossible to mix the three with success:
1) Only worry about the CASES. Meaning save people and fight bosses only when it easily fits into your time frame or is actually part of a CASE.
2) Only save people. Meaing don't do CASES and only fight bosses if they guard a survivor.
3) Only fight bosses. Fuck CASES and survivors, just go find good weapons and save them for boss fights.
It's actually a pretty easy case once you figure out what to do.Quote:

If you run into any trouble, or lose your vehicle, just exit via maintance doors and travel either up top to a safer location or just go back in if you need a vehicle respawn.
is there any chance this game is coming out on say pc? would a pc even be able to handle it considering it's made for 360? I don't want to have to get a 360 just for this game... i haven't really played video games in a long time, years, hell this may be a good game to start back up with though...
No.Quote:

You never really need more than two guns a fight, so you shouldn't need to go back too often.
Just had my first "fuck this game" moment. After spending severl upon several hours trying to complete Overtime mode, I finally made it to the final boss only to discover that my level is way too low to beat him (lvl 19). Seems that many ppl finished the bastard off at around 30 or higher. I would suggest to anyone that unlocks overtime to not try it until you are a much higher level (like I said, around 30).
And for Diff, yes, I got pwned.
I just started this one too. How random are some of these scoops? I was heading towards the parking garage when Otis calls up to tell me I have to quell a fucking mutiny.Quote:

Thanks. Yeah, I finally beat that case, but without the maintenance key. It was a pain without it because I only had one truck to work with, and I had to make it back to the first entrance once I had all of the bombs.Quote:

Mega spoilers for most of the bosses in "order"
Carlito #1. Wait for Brad to divert his attention and then run over and jump onto the platform where Carlito is standing. He'll probably be way at the other end and if so just chill out and let him come to you. Once he does bumrush him and gut him with a knife or cleaver(Hawaiian shirt zombies carry knives, cleavers can be found in one of the food court stores)
Gun store owner. Best bet is to get there as early as possible on the first day because he won't even be there. Grab a couple sniper rifles and wait until night-time when he "spawns". As soon as you enter the gunstore leave and get as far away from him as possible while staying in view. Afterwards clear out any nearby zombies and then just cap him repeatedly with your sniper rifles.
Jeep Convicts. With some extra sniper rifles and a shotgun just allow the idiots to get their jeep trapped in some trees. Start by sniping the gunner and then feel free to waste the other two how you see fit(Whether by taking their big gun or using the shotgun..I went with the shotgun because it reminded me of Halo 1 multiplayer.
Adam the Clown. Main attacks to look out for are the saw leap and the saw spin. First start the fight off by getting downstairs as it's impossible to fight him in that cramped section. Main tactic is to just watch him and look for openings. Sometimes he'll run a bit long on his saw spinning and he'll get dizzy, allowing you to knife him a few times. Also the Clown will blow up balloons that will stun you if they hit you. However they can stun him as well so when you see him blowing one up hit him with the soft cubes lying around. If you catch him while he's working on the balloon he'll get knocked down and then stunned by his own balloon, allowing for easy comboing. After he dies make sure to stock up on his chainsaws(grab a saw, leave the area, return, etc). They are imo the best weapons in the game.
Carlito #2. All you have to do is get within sawing distance to destroy him. Thing is thought that sniper rifle won't let you get close. What I did was I crept up on him and used the posts in the upstairs section to take cover from his rifle. I moved slowly from post to post until I was right next to him. Once you're close enough don't let him get away as he will drop grenades behind him. Also be wary of him smashing you with his rifle but at any rate 3 or 4 hits from the clownsaw will defeat him.
Steve the Manager. First thing first run away from him before he runs you down. Afterwards usually he'll go for his shotgun to keep you from getting behind him. What I did was I waited at the end of an aisle and as he passed by me I sliced him up with the clownsaw. Easy peasy
Hatchet Man. Stock up on some shotguns and sniper rifles because you won't have much luck with the clownsaws for once. Keep your distance and get in shotgun hits while you can. Keep an eye towards the tops of the shelves since he likes to get up there and toss grenades in your general direction. Get a good distance away from him and take a few potshots with your sniper. The fight will probably drag on for a bit due to his constant jumping around but stick to mid to long range fighting and you should be fine.
The Sniper Family. A nuisance at best. Keep moving since the family won't shoot at you if they're running away from you. Again Clown saw will mess them up easily. Sure you can fight them with sniper rifles if you like but the fight will drag on for awhile and I'm not the kind of person who fights "fair".
Jo the LesboCop. I can't even believe she was a boss. As soon as I saw her it was clownsaw and then death.
Raincoat Cult Leader. The guy is a bit of a jerk. He's pretty nasty with his sword and very aggressive. If you need to heal your best bet is to run up the theater stairs, run around and then jump over the balcony. He should follow you the entire way(including over the balcony) so you can sneak a Wine/OJ/Food in before he catches up with you. Most of his attacks consists of basic slashing with his sword but he does have a jump attack. It does major damage on hit but if he misses he's left wide open to some clownsawing.
Isabela. The safest place is on top of the cardboard boxes in the center of the fighting area as her motorcycle can't reach you. Only other thing to worry about is her piddly handgun but mostly the shotgun will take care of her.
Molotov Kid. Big damn pussy. All he does is run away while tossing molotovs behind him. Sometimes he'll throw one in your face when you get close but eh he's a wimp. Get in close and clownsaw him. When you defeat him you can probably save his life but I just watched him burn.
Carlito in a Van. Mostly he just tries to run you over. Granted I've seen him throw bombs but clownsaw ONCE AGAIN will take him out. Just be sure to aim at the driver's side and it would be best to do this when he runs into a wall close by you.
The Butcher. Another one of those guys you probably don't want to fight close range. However I did and I paid hell for it. Course again clownsaw and tons of food made this a fairly easy battle.
That should about do it for now. I'm still not quite finished with the game but that's pretty much all of the psychopaths I think. I'm going to try different more interesting strategies though since I'm sure you noticed a lot of them are rather boring.
Save system is simple I think. Most of the time whenever I died I simply restarted with my improved stats. Also the only saves I return to are ones that are at the beginning of cases so that way if I really screw up I can go back a bit and fix any problems. Though to be honest Capcom was a lot more generous with the needed time than I expected. I made a LOT of mistakes in some of the later cases(where time is definitely an issue) and I still made it through no problem(And I didn't even have all of the speed upgrades).
Oh and I really love dodging zombies. Nothing like running between them, jumping out of their grasp, etc. Almost feels like a bullet hell 2D shooter at times.
You have got to be fucking kidding me. I just played through the entire 72 hr mode, and finished all of the cases, but on the last one, when I got back to the security room and killed zombie Jessie, I wasn't sure what to do afterwards, so I looked around for like a minute and saved (FUCK), before realizing; "shit, I should probably try going to the helipad." Literally, the SECOND I start walking up the stairs, I get a cutscene showing the special forces busting in and fucking everyone up. So I continue up the stairs anyway, thinking something would be waiting me. Nothing. I go back downstairs, thinking maybe I'll trigger a cutscene. There are special forces crawling all over the place, and they subsequently fuck me up, and after playing a stupid minigame to get away, I'm sitting out here in the parking lot with no clues on the map and wondering what the hell to do. My save is literally 12:05 AM. Am I fucked now?
Fucking shit.
Also, pwned, owned, whatever.
I don't think you're fucked. The helicopter doesn't come until 12:00 PM. But be sure to go back to the hideout in the North Plaza at 10:00 AM. I also think to get the best ending you can't get caught by the guards.Quote:

I'm trying to do some rescuing and psychopath killing right now, and its a pain. Escorting is just rediculous because there are just way to many zombies for even you to protect yourself let alone another few ppl. I've only managed to rescue 3 people at once only one time. Anyone have any good strats to get a bunch of ppl back at once. Those escort 8 at once achievement is gonna be a pain unless there is a trick.Quote:

Or, you might accidentally fire two shots into a zombie where the first one kills him and the second no longers counts.
Am I missing something at the very start or something? There are two people holed up in a women's clothing shop in Al Fresca but when I get in the room I just get attacked.
That guy who attacks you has to be "subdued". You can either do it lethally, in which case you lose the points, or you can use non lethal force...using such items as your fists...or a taser.
The easiest way to get perfect gunner = grab a machine gun, shoot one shot and dont miss, then drop it and never pick up a machine gun again.
When the military shows up, go see Isabella the first time, then spend the remaining time before you talk to her again in the warehouse killing Spec Ops. Just use Adam's mini chainsaws, Cliff's machete, or Larry's meat cleaver(2 hits per guy) and grab two of the "3x longer for blade/edged weapons" books so your items last way longer(apparently the book stats STACK).
You should gain a good 10 levels if you're efficient at killing them without losing much health(I ended 72hour mode at level 32) and still have plenty of time to get ending "A"
btw:have fun fighting Brock on his TANK in Overtime mode
I have a plan and if it doesn't work I'm going to call bullshit on this game:
I killed with hand weapons until I had an even hundred on zombies killed, then I went and saved in a bathroom. I run out and kill 15-30 zombies making sure they're all headshots and my kills gained match up with my shots fired, then I save again and continue on. This way, after I for the 150 bullets, I should have 150 more kills than I started out with and thus I didn't miss with the machine gun.
Considering some of the achievements that exist in this game I doubt I'll get all of them anyway.
What I think is really stupid is how limited you are in "carrying" escorts. Some of them you can carry on your shoulders but others you hold their hand. The hand holding is total crap and poorly implemented. Also while carrying somebody on your shoulders you can't jump so slight inclines are a huge nuisance.
Love the game anyway but escorting has so many goddamn issues.
Felt bad about Brad but I delivered a couple of knee drops on zombie Jessica. Bitch called me ugly!(Don't forget to take a picture of her while she's walking around being undead for an achievement). I'm sitting on a save in Carlito's hideout with Isabela. North Plaza is pretty damn cool for having weapons and food in such a close proximity so I guess I'll try to gain a level or two while I wait for the chopper.
I was able to get this one last nigh, but it was tough. Sometimes the game glitches and wont consider it a hot if the zombie is reacting to the first shot. Even with the crosshair dead center in the gut, the shot would go right through some times. My best advice is to just have patience. I spent over an hour and it finally paid off.Quote:

I tend not to play too many escort games because, well they are just a pain in the ass and anoying as hell. This game, great as it is, has some terrible escorting, and this is all due to the terrible survivor AI. Their inability to fight, run around zombies, and just plain lack of common sense is unforgivable in this day and age.Quote:

Despite the flaws in the game, I still love it to death.
Also, knee drops are teh shit!1!!!1
So can you unlock Infinite mode just by doing the cases? Or actually, what's the easiest/fastest way to unlock it? I just want to run around without people needing help.
The game is excellent when it doesn't involve escorts.
Earlier I find some slut locked away in a closet. I free her and the security room is right around the corner so easy peasy right? NOPE. It's night time so of course the place is flooded with zombies. I can't kill them without cutting up the escort. I can't give the escort any food, and again with the hand holding BS. At least let me use a freaking weapon in my free hand!
And yep she got stuck in the fountains and got killed. Dumb, Dumb, and Stupid game design at times.
I like knee dropping a bunch of corpses and watching their bodies flail about. Next game I'm going to try to fight bosses with nothing but hand-to-hand skills(haha yeah right) or just with weapons in the immediate area(no more clownsaw)
Infinite is unlocked by beating overtime. There is also a special achievment for beating overtime without getting knocked out by the spec ops which is a pain in the ass.Quote:

Then it's another 72 hour mode to get all the survivors, followed by overtime mode and then infinity mode.
I'm sitting here doing the same as you Brett. I'm not just waiting for the whole 10 hrs though; I've got a routine going that works really well up in north plaza. Basically, I'm making runs between the restroom and supermarket. In the supermarket, there are about 10 spec ops, but they're spread out, so it's not hard to clean out the room by picking them off from afar. There is plenty of food to fill up on after cleaning out the place, then when you exit, the motorcycle always spawns at the entrance, and I take it and make a run around the whole plaza, thinning out the zombies and taking out all of the spec ops (usually 1 hit kills when you hit them on the motorcycle). Takes about an hour in-game each run, and I usually gain a level each time.
Now I'm just sitting next to Carlito's hideout a little before 10pm, and then all that's left is the trek back to the helipad. Awesome.
Afterwards, I think I'm going to do what you're doing. Start a new 72 hour game with the goal of just taking out all of the bosses/psychopaths, taking pictures of them, and perhaps trying for the all costume/all food eaten achievements. Then another 72 hour game after that going for all the survivors.
How does it work when you're not focusing on the main case files? Can you simply disregard them? Because it seemed to me that if you didn't finish them, you'd fail the whole game..
I actually switched my efforts to taking out the Helicopter. I have no idea how many bullets I have to feed into it but I have 6 Machine Guns and a ton of Wine.
Oh, and make sure you beat both 72 hour mode and overtime without getting knocked out, that's how you unlock the Mega Man boots; which when equiped cause your items to never break.
Which of course, makes the sword the only weapon you'll ever need.
This is currently what I am doing. Apparently you have to do some, if not all, of the cases to trigger some of the other bosses. Also, if you just disregard the cases all together, you may end up with certain areas cut off. I had the entrance between Paradise Plaza and Entrance Plaza blocked off because I didn't go through the cases to get it open. Made it a major pain in the ass to bring survivors from Entrance back to the security room.Quote:

Overtime mode is much harder when you are lower levels, which is why I said do not attempt unitl at least lvl 30. brock is pretty much impossible without decent hand to hand moves.Quote:
