    lack of appreciation for the shitty online play

    these last 2 achievements are such a pain in the ass. thinking i'm gonna spend a bit more time fucking with these and then i'm gonna trade it in towards MS points for the RDR undead nightmare.

    a buddy and i were doing co-op, then we lost connection, so who knows if it saved our progress or not. being the person who joins the other's co-op session is confusing, cuz it tells you that you can't save progress...and there's no screen telling you how far along in the story your co-op progress is, similar to the screens in between levels of other games w co-op, like halo or CoD.

    and the online is buggy as fuck for the stupid TIR events. players are always lagging and getting dropped, which kicks everyone back to the main menu. and the rotation of events (for ranked, which is how you gotta do the achievements) is inconsistent as hell. you'll get the same shitty events every time and the ones you need to get for the achievement never pop up....and then you gotta listen to that annoying idiot TK every time you're waiting to join a match. and goddamn, those announcers are even more annoying to listen to while you're playing the shitty events. and some games i join with no problem, but my character is outside of the stupid ramsterball during the first even and won't budge, and this carries over even in the next event. lame as hell.

    another example of the online gameplay fucking up the replay value of a game....i'd have all of the achievements if it weren't for these last two, and i'm tired of fucking around with this buggy online crap to get them. funny that the only game i've been looking forward to for months is on the chopping block to get traded in after having it for less than a few weeks.

    the online co-op is okay when you're just fooling around, but the lack of an infinite mode is a big drawback and takes away most of the replay value, as the story is pretty lame and not worth playing through more than a couple of times. i'd gladly trade the TIR mode for an infinite mode to have fun in, instead of being forced to play the silly story or having a time limit placed on me.

    guess i'm just getting jaded and cynical as fuck about gaming these days. but the luster of this game wore off rather quickly. guess it's back to the old-school RE series, then on to the thing for the original xbox. i need to get RDR back from my brother, that's the only game that's came out in almost a year that's held any sort of lasting value.

    I just did my second batch of 72 hours and got ending F.

    I'm not good enough at DR to do the story stuff, and was fed up of giving Katey zombrex from the first play through, so I immediately let her die and then just ran around dressed as a SWAT guy splattering my way through 5500 zombies over the course of the 72 hours levelling my ass up (now on lvl 24).

    It really isn't hard to find zombrex. I finished the game with ending s and i had 1 left over. Shit man, you can buy it at pawn shops. There is some in the Yucatan casino, the slot ranch casino, and you can get..3 or 4 rescuing survivors/killing psychopaths.

    I know, cos I found plenty in my first play through, but it was annoying to be like "ah shit, it's 7am again, better go give her the shot ... again" ... I did it the once so I'm not bothering again. I just wanna slay tons o' zombies.

    Oh I know...I really wish they had put in a mode without a time limit, just so you could do whatever you want, you know, put those difficult to use combo cards to use, yea? Shit man, I think I only used the servo slicer ONCE and it was my favourite combo card.

    DR2 hits the 2 million mark, bodes well for a 3rd one!

    just traded my copy in, the online achievments were a total pain in the ass, the online set-up itself fucking sucked...co-op was okay at times, but the MP was complete shit and should have been left out all together.

    the story was lame, TK is the most annoying idiot to appear in a videogame, and the lack of infinite mode was a real kick to the dick. fuck DR2, and i'm seriously doubting i'll play a DR3.

    and fuck case west and MS exclusives, while i'm on a roll. i hate the way MS has been with this generation of games/consoles...all their "ONLY ON XBOX LIVE!!!!!!!111" bullshit can fuck right off.

    I've bashed through it three times, so I'm giving it a rest for a while. Will no doubt return to it at least once more, probably twice more - like I did with DR1. When I get a need to slaughter some zeds, I'll know where to head.

    Re-playing CoD: Black Ops right now and I think after that I'll replay Mafia 2.

    Same here. Really like the game. One of the (past) year's best for sure.
    Anyone played RDR Undead nightmare? Any good in SP?
