Is there a way to play this game infinitely outside of the shitty survival mode?

I just want to have fun killing zombies in a mall without having to worry about a story.

You should kill the clown, take his minisaw, and grab the 3 books that give the minisaw better durability.

This is the best strategy and makes the game easy as shit.

>>387802780

Any particular ways? I've been abusing the jump kick to get past them, but as far as I can tell there's no good way of putting a dent in their numbers. I don't like shooting them, that seems like a waste of bullets.

>>387803107
How about a game that doesn't ruin Frank West's character?

>>387803370
>ruin

They enhanced his character, anon.

Adam's chainsaw with the 3 books. You should only have to NG+ once with that and that's only to get enough levels to beat the final boss.

3 books and clown chainsaws, farm pp stickers and photos for the first day over and over again. Then play the main story.

DR2: Off The Record has an infinite mode.

>>387802651

Don't use guns. There should be a katana on an awning near there. Breaking mannequins and using the torso is also good.

>>387802651
Any easy weapon that you can find is the mannequin torso since it's in the warehouse coming out of your safe house. Just use that by breaking the mannequin with something like the knee drop and only taking the torso since it one shots zombies. Also stack it with the 3 books to extend its use.

Dead Rising 1 and even 2 might seem like mad hard games when your character is low level, but once you hit like lv20 (max is 50) you already got a sizeable inventory, a sizable health bar AND a speed boost. If you just goof around your first run and then take that leveled up character to a new game+, the story missions will be a cakewalk. You can finish the story starting as lv1 character if you want but that is not necessary nor what the devs intended. Learn the mall and fail the story on the first run then do a perfect run the second time with a preleveled character.

>>387803754
>>387803851

Mannequin torsos, got it.

>>387804130

So don't worry too much about the survivors, then? Follow the story, level up and use the extra stuff next go around?

Are there any particular things to do to level? I tried doing the photograph thing with Kent the first couple of times, but after he bugged out and refused to let me progress one time I started ignoring him.

Don't be a minichainsaw shitter, grab the skateboard from the store on the second floor of the starting area to get around faster, stock up on orange juice up there too and experiment with the mixer, learn what weapons are effective zombie killers and add their locations to your route. Always take pictures of survivors and psychos.

The game can be beaten without grinding just be aware and plan ahead.

It isn't the same.

>>387804402
I'd say just do what you want and don't worry too much about the time aspect. You don't need to go out of your way to certain content the first time around if you don't think you can handle it. It's much faster blazing through everything the second time onwards.

>>387802651
Didn't we have this exact same thread yesterday?

>>387804402
>survivors
Saving people usually gives a huge PP boost so if you want to level up you should always rescue people unless you're going for something else

>>387804872

There was a thread a day or two ago, that was what made me get the game.

>>387804402
Always give survivors that can fight guns, they last unlimited for them
Alo I could be wrong but constantly spamming C'MON FOLLOW ME actually is more detremental that benificial since it fucks with their UI.

Fail a story mission, don't reload a save.
BAM.
No story, you're free to go.

I've been contemplating doing a perfect Dead Rising run from 1 > 50 without cheesing the small chainsaws.

Literally the only mental hurdle that keeps me from constantly replaying the game is having to escort the braindead survivors.

>>387805436
also hanging around that first area of the mall where the game begins for like 30 minutes or so before progressing would get you a cutscene and disable the story

Once you get that imba small chainsaw and the magazines that increase its durability, the game becomes such a literal joke. I aced it on my first playthrough and I didn't even use guides. I found the clown myself, I killed the clown myself, I got the chainsaw myself and I found the magazines myself.

The fucking thing even respawns every time you zone in so you will literally never need another weapon again.

>>387803680
This. thousand times this. The best game in series.

>>387808406

Not even close, my man.

On a somewhat related note: Going from Dead Rising 1 to 2 just feels odd. Like, DR2 just feels very sluggish and nothing feels all that satisfying.

>>387802651
Dead Rising is all about trial and error. Your not sposed to beat the game on your first playthrough. Stick to the main missions while picking up survivors on the side but dont overwhelm yourself and dont feel bad if some of em die.

Dont bother using guns yourself (unless against a psychopath) but give them to survivors as they never run out of ammo when there using em. And be very careful bringing survivors through the park.

Once youve beaten the psychopath with the mini chainsaws you can abuse the hell out of em since those chainsaws make use of 3 different magazines increasing there durability to insane levels.

The farther you get in the game the more things will unlock for you that make your next playthroughs easier like shortcuts and the maintenance key.

>>387804402
try to save as many people as you can but if you want lvl 50 after most of the story is finished and its speshul forces time just go to the supermarket and clear the enemies there then rinse and repeat, you get great pp

>>387808969

>Dont bother using guns yourself

This is worth pointing out: Guns are governed by the attack stat and increase in damage like everything else. They're not worth using if you're low level, but become a whole lot better when you level up.

>but give them to survivors as they never run out of ammo when there using em.

There seems to be some debate on whether or not giving survivors any weapons at all is a good idea, as they seem rather compelled to just go out of their way to kill zombies instead of following you.

>>387804402
Survivors and story missions give you jhuge chucks of xp. Course if you want you could drive vehicles through the underground tunnels massacring thousands of zombies. Did that to get that one cheevo that wanted you to kill like 56k zombies in one playthrough. That'll get you to 50.

>>387805296
Wrong. you totally want to spam that shit cause the AI will constantly stop if you dont. they can squirm through zombos pretty good if you keep there attention.

>>387809821

Wrong, you wanna direct the AI with the "Over there" command, as just spamming the follow button could constantly "reset" them, so to speak.

I haven't completely gone into depths with this stuff, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

Am I the only one that enjoyed Dead Rising 3? It's definitely not as good as the other ones but it was fun having a whole town to murder zombies in. Also the zombie density was insane.

Don't sperg to the maximum trying to 100% the game on the first runthrough. You're pretty much guaranteed to miss at least one survivor found near the start of the game without prior knowledge to him being there.

>>387808969
>The farther you get in the game the more things will unlock for you that make your next playthroughs easier like shortcuts and the maintenance key.

I don't think those carry over.

>>387810743

Who are you referring to exactly? The dude behind a load of boxes?

Really, you're never gonna achieve a Saint run if you don't know EXACTLY what you're doing. Hell, you'll even miss out on a survivor if you're 30 seconds late to an appointment with Kent.

>>387810975
Yeah, the fat guy. He's not listed as a scoop, and unlike the other unlisted survivors, he's not in a major thoroughfare. You're only going to find him if you dick around trying on clothes and shit in that section of the mall as soon as it's opened.

He's in a skate shop if I remember rightly, which isn't a "Yeah that could have cool stuff" shop like gun/hardware/sport shops are.

>>387812420

There's a handful of "hidden" survivors you never get notified about during your 3 days.

So you really gotta know your shit if you wanna rescue everyone.

This is so awkward for me. You're finally given the kind of freedom you've been yearning for 3 in-game days...yet I have no real idea what to do with myself.
