F@CK!!! Ok as a warning to future Dead Rising players, DO NOT CHOOSE THE "
Save and Quit" UPON DYING. Instead reload from your last save point and then turn off the 360 or continue playing. If you do want to quit upon death then choose the " Save and Quit" option but when the 2nd set of options some up DO NOT SAVE IT FROM THERE JUST QUIT.
Why?
Well basically is you do select that option as a means to quit upon death dont be surprised when you have to start all over (with you gained stats, however) from the point of entry. You last save file wont be there only the option ' Start New Game 72 hr mode' .
Just thought I' d get that out there. This save system is hell somtimes. Luckily it usually auto saves at the start of a new case file and once you open up the mall save points a more plentiful. Just be careful with time and saving. Uhg more then half way thru the game and I make that little slip up.
Additional things to know:
-Some of those achievments are easy as hell but do not let this full you as others are a complete polar oppisite. Especially ones involving multiple escorts in order to unlock. One person can be hellish enough, but parading with a group of gun-ho happy morons is a test of mind and patience.
-Otis is fuckn annoying...
-Just because a new " scoop" has come up does not mean it will vanish just as quick. Become a mast of scheduling.
-DO THE MISSION CALL " OUT OF CONTROL" trust me the secret the victim shows you will come in handy for almost all future missions
-Always make sure you have either of the following:
For Health:
--Orange Juice
--Milk
--Coffee Creamer
For Killing
--Sub Machine Gun(easiest one is found in the same place as in the demo)
--Shot Gun(gunstore...a well protected gunstore)
--Queen Bee [one use only](will become present towards beginning)
-Get most of the escort missions done before 7:00pm...you' ll see why.
-Never give one of your survivors a firearm...The situation isn' t much better with melee weapons, but much much easier to handle.
Just a few helpful hints, but dont expect to just skip happily thru now as this game is rather harsh at points.
