i'm never playing, "DEAD RISING," again.

the following, taken from wikipedia...

"Dead Rising has an unusual save system: only one game-in-progress can be saved per memory device per Xbox 360 profile. In these cases, Dead Rising allows players to save their current level and status and restart the game from the beginning as a more powerful player. The system is a deliberate game mechanic, borrowed from one of Capcom's RPGs Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter; the two games share some development team members.[11]

Though the unusual saves are largely unpopular with gamers and likely caused Dead Rising to be scored lower on game ratings, Keiji Inafune said, in an interview with Electronic Gaming Monthly, that, the saves were intentionally designed so that players would feel that there were some consequences for their actions and would be forced to make quick, tactical decisions."

in a related story, twenty seven year old gamer, douglas burke, who had to replay through twice because of said save function, was quoted as saying:

"fuck, 'dead rising,' and fuck the japanese... i quit." [end quote.]
