The Most Useless Zombie-Fighting Weapons Of Dead Rising 2

Kotaku Writes: Dead Rising 2, like its predecessor is a video game that offers players the opportunity to re-kill zombies with dozens — hundreds? — of common and uncommon items. I recently tried to find the worst weapons in the game.

Author's note: I was playing a pre-release demo of Dead Rising 2 under the supervision of personnel from the game's publisher Capcom. The weapons described in here may be horrible, but there is still a chance that there are even more useless weapons to be found in the game.

Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...

Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁

InklingGirl1405d ago

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title.

Complacency and new teams who didn't understand what made the series special.

Darksonic221405d ago

Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.

ColdSin1405d ago

DR4 should have not been made anyways. DR3 closed everything nicely.

Check out the vid i posted above.

They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.

They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.

This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

The paddle bat and string ball from Fallout should be considered too.

I would've included Tira's ring blade from Soul Calibur.
