The Dead Rising games are mostly known for the wonders of testing out all multitudes of weapons against the shambling undead, be them new toys of dismemberment or just more ways to instead embarrass aforementioned shambling undead.
Another not so heralded aspect of the series are the psychopaths: people that have either plainly cracked under the chaos they find themselves surrounded by, or where nutjobs to begin and are just using said chaos to their advantage. The psychopaths themselves were wonderful characters with most of them being equally full of character and memorability as they were fucking annoying on a gameplay standpoint. Again though, there was no denying how colourful they all where and their appearances and stories still managed to act as one of the franchises highlights. And with the new info regarding the upcoming Case West download, it placed Dead Rising right back on my hot list.
As such I found it fun just to wonder how I'd be represented in a Dead Rising if I myself was one of the psychopathly psychopathic boss battles. (Also for locations sake I'll go with that I'm in Fortune City whilst Chuck does his thaaaaaaaang)
Reason for the Crazy:
I'd be too busy trying on womens clothing (what, all the DR heroes do it!) to notice the zombie that would bite on me the arm, making me become engulfed with fear and anxiety. Mission would be caaalled 'Boys do Cry'.... reference to the Hilary Swank movie.
Entrance Cutscene:
I'd still be wearing the womens clothing, most likely a summer dress, and will most likely be found at the chemist in the first area. Scrambling for some zombrex, I'd encounter Chuck and demand he pities my situation and helps me find zombrex. Chuck's reluctant at first with his daughter needing it ect, and while he did plan on helping me I wouldn't give him the chance and judge prematurely that he won't help and then BOSS FIGHT BEGIN!!
Boss Battle:
For starters, like any other DR2 psychopath, you'd need to be around LV 50000 to even stand a chance. My design would have me as a squirrelly little shit that's runs around rapidly and scurries all over Chuck when close enough. Weak point would be when I occasionally witness the gauging bite on my arm which makes me begin to sob uncontrollably.
Defeat Cutscene:
Despite having been shot with dynamite via a bow, stabbed multiple times and wacked around with a number of blunt objects I'll only appear to have a few bruises in the cutscene. It'll then forward to me lunging at Chuck to have my arm just completely fall off and me scurrying around in panic trying to stick a mannequin limb in place of my armless...arm. Eventually I bleed to death and unlock my snazzy summer dress for Chuck to wear!!
So yeah, there's that... I'm not expecting many to post their own interpretations of themselves as a DR psychopath, least of all go in as much detail as I did; but at the same time I'm just glad I put my expressed thoughts into words before I lost this silly idea altogether =P
Oh also anyone else looking forward to Case West?????????????
