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.

There are a lot of issues with controllers for this game that has never been patched, so keep that in mind if you are gonna play this on the Steam deck. Game itself is fun though and a throwback to the old generations. ____________ [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]Follow my Curator

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.

why did they give frank such a ginormous ass in this game i'd love to play it but my huge boner gets in the way of my controller from staring at frank's massive dumpy especially with that one piece bathing suit equipped capcom tried to make him older and out of shape but they only made him hotter thanks alot capcom you turend me gay for a man twice my age

I'd only recommend this to someone who either loves DR2, or hasn't played it in a long time. It is very much a slight remix of the base game. If you're up for it, it's a lot of fun like the original version. Just be cautious of controller issues. I encountered them even on steam deck, not that the keyboard controls are bad or anything.
