Its a great game n'all but its soo frustrating I had just defeated Isabella then died and had to do it all over again. So yeah I put the frustration down to the one save policy and the mission timers. Hopefully DR2 will be a lot different.

It aint much different. Mission timers are still there, so if your aiming for survivors (which are FAR easier to rescue, to the point that i never lost one while escorting) its annoying. There are three save slots, but if you die after a boss and the game isn't saved, you'll have to do it again. And as always the psychopaths are hard early on, and become easier as you become stronger. So yeah its quite frustrating, i chucked the controller multiple times. But in dead rising 1 i broke a controler and damaged another.
shareSince Mirror's Edge I haven't come across a more frustrating game, especially when you're still (like me) a beginner and you beat the clown only to die on the way back.
Continually saving is the only way I can deal with it!!
Yeah mate, not a good game to start with. Hell even half-experienced players like me struggled.
shareNow I only have 3 remaining achievements - stay alive for 5 and 7 days in Infinity mode. Bit annoying. But the cream of the irritants has to be Otis and his phone calls. I thought I had done it on my most recent playthrough, it came to the final countdown - Kindell's betrayal, Simone wants a gun, the hapless Cheryl gyrating... etc, until he left me a note saying he had stolen a choppa. Still nothing, because I hadn't had the 'Frank, you're in the maintanence tunnels...'. I have never been so annoyed at a game. Such a silly detail which needs to be included.
It also annoyed me about the Kent fight when you are in underwear. It took me far too long to realise it's because you're late to the meeting. So a warning to anyone wondering why you're suddenly tied up in your underwear and there are no cultists around - it's because Kent is part German and does not want you to be late.
Nice to know it is just not me that finds this game very frustrating. I bought it when it initially came out and put it down. Then tried it again today and remembered why I put it down. It is just so flipping hard.
