This Achievement in Dead Rising Was A Mistake...

Today, I go for one of the hardest achievements of the xbox 360 era: Dead Rising's 7 Day Survivor. So enjoy the Dead Rising gameplay, tips and tricks, and all the pain it brought me on this fateful day lol.
Oh and if you’re wondering why a video of a 14 hour achievement is so short, I think the total waiting around time amounted to 12.5 hours LOL

I genuinely think the only reason this was bearable was due to the dead rising mall music. All six of those songs are BANGERS. I'm really not sure why most malls don't have soundtrack composers make their playlists, no wonder they're going out of business. Actually, get me in the studio instead. I've never used FL studio in my life, but I'll take care of business. It'll be like a mall renaissance with me as their rightful ruler. Maybe I can even get a Lulu Lemon gift card as well.

Nice to see you here considering i loved your video on the same game ❤

[@YaBoyDuggieGaming]

I have did this achievement and it was so awful.But I got it anyways.

[@DarkDashV6]

I remember during the early days of the pandemic, when everyone was quarantining and losing work, I spent about two weeks getting every single achievement in this game. I think this last one took three days, three attempts, to get. Really wasn't that bad when you read the guides and keep track of time, but still, for the average person - fourteen hours is far too long for anyone to be committing to a game non-stop. It wouldn't be so bad if you could take a break every now and then, but it has to be in one sitting.

[@Valiyus]

you could alternatively pause the game, although you'd have to leave the game on.

[@ninjagamer7777]

Don't say or laugh at inappropriate things its sinful. Luck doesn't exist its blessings from the Good Lord Jesus Christ. Don't say the Good Lord Jesus Christs Holy name in vein its blasphemy which is a sin. Only the Good Lord Jesus Christ is the one true God no one else can compare to Him.

[@fusionkinggamer9039]

Sounds like a great way to pass the pandemic.

[@DarkDashV6]

@@Valiyus Problem is that if you do that, the in-game timer isn't running and you aren't working toward the achievement. One way to look at it is that if you woke up at 6:00AM, and immediately started playing the game without pausing once, you would be playing it until 8:00PM. An entire day of doing nothing except playing a game, waiting for long periods of time, and moving around trying to avoid the zombies. It's not hard, it's just takes an unreasonable amount of time for the average person.

[@DarkDashV6]

@@fusionkinggamer9039 It was a lot of fun, aside from this one achievement. Nevertheless, I am a completionist by nature. I've had to have 100%'d at least two dozen games from my childhood at this point, and I always want to take absolutely everything I can get out of a game. With this game in particular, I think I prefer the overall vibe/feel of the original Dead Rising over its sequel, despite both DR1 and DR2 being great games for different reasons. So I didn't mind running around the Mall for long periods of time, especially once I got good at the game and understood how to take care of missions as quickly as possible to maximize the amount of time I had to do other things.

[@yewtewbstew547]

This achievement used to have a sort of mythical status back when the game originally released, because in those days it had the added RNG of whether or not your Xbox 360 would RRoD half way through the attempt.

[@Stairsarehard]

Yep! Otherwise its really not that hard, get the 3 food books, load up on food in one sector, wait and then move on when food starts to get low

[@Supperdude9]

@@Stairsarehard Well yes and no. Certain survivors/psychos/bosses appeared on certain maps at certain times and would also do food drops. When I got this achievement, it was... yes, a chore. I remember looking up online for what was where, where to go, etc. And what humans would do food drops. You'd have to be careful of course, didn't want to be caught at a bad time against a tough boss while your health was dwindling, because they'd end you and your run before you knew what hit you.

Did this back when game came out….was watching movie with wife and a friend towards the end when you wait in the theater.

This game should have let you save just so you can take breaks. I never got this achievement and the one to save all survivors. That was because one always died and I gave up . The AI was very dumb .

[@lmcgregoruk]

All survivors is easy enough, at least on the steam version, as long as you A. carry/hold hands etc with anyone you can with, this seems to make the zombies a lot less aggressive, know that if a survivor loses health you can give them food/drink items to heal, SPAM "Follow me" or set waypoints and spam to the survivor(s) to go to the waypoint. Also USE the bathroom shortcut. The "Answer all Otis calls" one seems the most difficult. Having said that, I realise I only have "Saint" on the Steam version, not on my Xbox 360 version. Also use the mini chainsaws/real megabuster.

Back in the summer when this game came out and I was absolutely obsessed with this game, I hunkered down to try and get this. I got snacks, easy made lunch and dinner, I had Dawn of the Dead on another input to watch while I survived. I was SET. Day 6 started, and I needed more fun than I realized I had. Went to the Food Court, and the game crashed. Later found out that after like Day 4 or so, going to the Food Court can crash the game. That was a very sad day

This is still one of my fondest gaming experiences ever. At first this game was just weird and chaotic, but once you understand it and get to know ever mechanic of it and you memorize every event, you get better and better until you finally tackle this achievement. I remember getting chained onto a statue by one of the NPCs at the last moments of my first attempt at this. And it blew my mind because I'ne never seen this cutscene or event happen or have read about it.

[@yukaiyami]

Living in a place where the power goes away all the time (to the point you have to buy surge protectors so your consoles and appliances don’t die), I’d NEVER attempt this achievement.
