Dead Rising 2: Off the Record

I love Dead Rising and this is the only iteration I hadn't played yet. Game has crashed 3 times at random parts when I open my map. I know it's not my specs because I've played 1-3 with no problems whatsoever.

For a game that relies heavily on manual saving plus few and far between checkpoints, it's pretty much unplayable in my opinion. I don't have time to detour to save points constantly as the game greatly discourages this and I don't feel like having to go back and redo 30-45 minute segments of gameplay every time the game crashes.

They shouldn't be allowed to sell this in it's current state.

hell yeah

Frank West is gonna cover more than wars after this one.

Game does not support a basic 8-BitDo PC controller. Lame.

Update your $h!t CAPCOM!!! Seriously!!!

If Bethesada can still update FALLOUT 4 (a ten year old game), you all can DEFINITELY put in a controller update for Dead Rising 2: Off the Record

Love this game. Played it on Xbox 360 a long time ago and it was worth picking up again. Beat the entire game in co-op. Lots of fun with a friend. It harkens back to a different time of video games. The bosses can be quite tough and the game doesnt hold your hand a lot. If youre having trouble, just try to level up some. You will get more powerful, get more health, move faster. It can be tough to beat the game without these upgrades.

Cant take a few minutes out of your day to fix the controller issue? Lame

"Killer"

I had this game on Xbox, I had to get it twice because the game’s that good, only issue is lack of controller support but there is work arounds.

Had to use a mod to get controller/high resolutions working properly, and then had an infinite loading screen bug after beating one of the last bosses. Game's broken, don't bother.

best game. worth the purchase.

Its nice

Very fun

good

dead rising 2 but frank west

After buying the game I couldnt even save as it automatically said the saved game data files were corrupted. Even after deleting all files and saved files on their respective directories it still states corrupted. What a waste of so much time....

The game will require particular set of skills to edit registry for profile path with the method to remove special characters or spaces to get the save file to work. Another issue is the fact that the game crashes randomly on most encountered bugs. Without mod patches or filtered compatible settings set within the control panel of your graphics card, the game would just run poorly.

As much as I love the nostalgia of this game, this is indeed a poor game port of the PC/Steam platform that would direly need a lot of workaround solutions just to make it run seamlessly. Overall, there is no option to rate this game on steam by scale, but I would recommend the game only if a player has enough patience and love for this amazing game.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record Sandbox Mode is my favorite zombie game of all time no contest. People mention games being cozy. This game is super cozy to me. I like clearing out all of the zombies in an area or finding a safe spot and just taking a break. LOVE THIS GAME 10/10.

zombies and gambling who doesnt love that!

Screw everything else this is my #1 game of all time entirely for nostalgia

running to the security room from the vent in under 5 seconds before the case expires simulator

FAN TASTIC

I can understand people liking this game but not me. The controls are terrible, shooting is just bad, i hate the time limitation that has going for it, graphics are not great. Not a big fan !

I only bought the game because it had Frank West

I'm not disappointed at all. 10/10

fix the controller issue capcom. what the fuck

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it
Shift + Space + M1

Great if you want to mindlessly kill zombies.

Ballsack PC port. controller support nope, use community layouts and steam input, and you can atleast you use it. It’s not much more than a remix , I recommend it as a way to replay dead rising 2 when you get the urge. I liked it because it has coop, and that’s fun because your friend is fun. They can be chuck, and then you can do funny things.

Now don't get me wrong, i'm not giving a negative review because this is a bad game, it isn't. I'm giving a negative review on this game because holy shit this is a bad PC port of a beloved classic from the Xbox 360 era.

I ran into slowdown, stuttering, and graphical issues (even though I have a powerful enough computer to run the Resident evil 4 remake comfortably), and that's just in singleplayer. When I played online with my friend, things got even worse.

Controller support is terrible (The game only recognizes wired Xbox 360 controllers, if you try to use anything else without a mod it will not work), the game had a tendency to kick the 2nd player out whenever the host reloaded the game, the game crashed at certain points, we had a loading bug where we couldn't load beyond 7-4 (Which we were able to thankfully fix that via lowering the FPS), and worse of all, there was a glitch that wouldn't give us our objectives sometimes, meaning we'd miss out on some of the side quests and other stuff on offer, its unbelievable that this stuff can even happen!

If you still want to try this game out, i'd get the original version on console, try this port at your own risk! (Unless you know how to mod or just don't really care about those issues)

i dont need to say anything get this game

Can you please fix the bug where the game freezes when you bring up the pause menu sometimes other than I'm having fun with this game so far.

No controller support.

Really good For Nostalgia i had to say, the zombie jumpscares always gets me when i was a kid and now as a adult,
the Slappy Mission Still Gets me after defeating him as a child in the first dead rising 2 but i aint rekilling him again after seeing him in my nightmares every time i sleep
100/100 good story telling,cant wait to play the remake these new fanbases of this game franchise are missing out of peak
who cares about bugs and no controller support like every zombie game has no controller support except left 4 dead.
cant wait for dead rising 6 if it either comes out next year or when i have kids if i do get a gf by then
also for controller support download ds4
here's a video for ds4 controller support thingy

Poor Chuck...

if your pc is terrible, dont get it lol. it's pretty fun tho.

best dead rising game ever

Amazing.

Dead Rising is love Dead Rising is life

No controller support in 2025. Having to download two separate programs isn't controller support.

I cannot believe I never decided to play this game when it released all those years ago. Granted, I was still in my Call of Duty on console phase when this masterpiece released, and I was too young and stupid to look away from the constant mediocre console shooter. Buyer beware, DR2 & DR2: Off the Record are NOT the same game!

I played this game mainly with a friend, which was a ton of fun honestly. One of the best things to do is run around the mall and make our characters as stupid as possible with all the available options. Fighting bosses while Chuck is dressed like a country hooker has got to be the best experience. For a mall, the shops, characters, and casinos you mess around with are so colorful that you don't feel like you're walking in the same hallway through the whole game. The place is full of landmarks that you can figure out where you're going without a map if you pay attention enough!

Crafting weapons is very intuitive, but since it was my first game I ended up looking up which weapons can create fun things, which is fine by me. The dismemberment and zombie AI isn't as good as a game like Left 4 Dead 2, but at the same time it doesn't need to be; rather than killing zombies all the time, your best bet is to simply carve out a path to travel from one objective to another, since they are TIME BASED. My buddy and I forgot about that, and roughly 15% into the main story, we ended up restarting because not only did we fuck up, but our last checkpoint was also right before we fucked up! While frustrating, we knew what we were getting into. Definitely not as frustrating as Yakuza 0 or Kiwami, where the telephone booths are your ONLY way of saving. You do save in a bathroom in these games, so Frank and Chuck must have their tummies brappin' like a Mazda Quad-Rotor engine.

Overall, great time with a friend, I cannot recommend this enough.

I sure wish they would fix their game

DR2:OTR is a game best enjoyed after playing DR1 and DR2. With the inclusion of the Uranus zone and the ability to bring Chuck and Frank together, this is a great alternate universe depiction of one of the best Dead Rising games. I highly recommend heading to the DR2 OTR nexus to get a mod patch to fix some of the technological shortcomings this game has, but if you're able to overlook some of the crust you are in for a great time.

This game is all about exploration, the worst thing you can do is look up a guide and tell you what to do and where to go.

It's like going shopping with your bestie.

man broken coop halfway through the game, save file is just corrupted

best dead rising game....

DR2 but if Chuck Greene had an accountant hairline and took photos of wars or something. 10/10.
