    Okay, I borrowed Dead Rising from my friend Brett this weekend because...it looks awesome and he said he'd lend it to me. I've read next-to-nothing before playing it and god-damn that game is hardcore. Leveling? Escorts? Inmates on a Jeep? Fucking inteeense. Well I read a little bit online and found out I could get a MegaManBlaster which also sounds awesome. 55,000 zombies? No problem! Christmas break and all I decide to hop in a car and mow down some zombies. Took about 2-3 hours and I killed 'em good! Achievement Unlocked so I decided to get eaten and seek my reward.

    OH BUT THIS IS WHEN IT GETS GOOD FELLAS!

    Apparently I had to finish the 72-Hour mode to get it. Yeah. Not just get eaten and reload with your profile. Actually WAIT the 72 Hours. Well i wasn't aware of that. So when I enter the security room seeking my long-awaited reward I get a cold, hard taste of floor. If people say games can't touch you emotionally this is something that brutalized me emotionally.

    *sigh*  It is a Capcom game. At least I got a bunch of PP. < (( Heh ))

    This but...with no blaster.

    Considering that the game doesn't go by RL time you could just leave your 360 on for a few hours and be done with it.

    Well it's unlockable for a reason.  Some of the achievements in this, though, like the one where you have to play for-what is it, 7? 12? hours?STRAIGHT.  Those are just ridiculous.
