History Headscratchers / DeadRising2

**** Chuck can take half a clip from a heavy machine gun and get back up. The zombies are lucky their teeth didn't shatter on his mantastic collarbone. (The fact that Chuck looks a lot like [[ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings Commander Badass]] is ''not'' a coincidence, people.)

** Are you suggesting the ThePenguinsOfMadagascar are behind this nefarity?

* Why didn't the government simply send in a Chinook to pick up the survivors at the shelter after the gas zombies attack? Would it really have taken that much effort? It just doesn't make sense that a news company has to come in to solve the problem while the government does absolutely nothing. I mean, you could've fit it into the story just fine without intruding on gameplay. Just say that Sullivan radioed to the government that there were no more survivors, and by defeating him and calling the government again on his cell phone, you prove him wrong, and they send a chopper. Seriously, I know the DeadRising games are big on depicting the U.S. as evil / stupid, but this is just crossing the line.

* Seriously, I'm the only one who think that the whole ''Off the Record'' is a huge [[spoiler: [[BilingualBonus cazz]] [[PrecisionFStrike ata]] ]]? I mean, first they decide to give all the credit of an already seen story to Frank which (at least by my point of view) is far less heroic and sympathetic than Chuck. Then they [[spoiler: turn Chuck into a loony loser psychopath, the cold old bastard BigBad into a semi-heroic guy and one of the most morally straight character into the super evil bitch villainess that for some reason whip out a giant robot.]] No, seriously, did Capcom hired Trolls in their rank or something?

** They have to balance profitability against the loss of customers and, of course, the threat of apocalypse. Making the dosage more easily to take keeps your customers alive and coming back for more. If they turn, they may infect more people but they may also kill off thousands more or overrun cities. Also, we don't know how they price the 12/24 hour doses, because we only ever buy it from profiteers in the middle of an outbreak. If they double the effectiveness but also double the cost, then they maintain the same revenue while halving their shipping costs[[hottip:*: Okay not exactly, but you get my meaning.]]. Also, [[spoiler: Sullivan]] tells you that powerful people are infected and using Zombrex, so they may have been under behind the scenes pressure too.

* How come one small bite on her forearm causes the main heroe's daughter to need anti zombie injections yet the sheer amount of times you're bitten in the neck and crotch don't do anything?

* Why does Phenotrans cause zombie outbreaks in order to get Queens? I mean, the wasps would grow just as well in cows or something like that wouldn't they? After all, that's what they were originally for. All they would have to do is get a bunch of cows or pigs or mice or whatever would work, cage them in heavily secured base somewhere, infect them all, then throw food to them every once in a while, throw in a means of catching the queens when they mature in (how do they even collect the things anyway?) and boom! Queens galore, and without a single human death. It's actually rather simple, it would probably be cheaper, prevent a runaway outbreak from possibly cause a full blown continent/planetwide zombie apocalypse, and would avoid a potential public relations nightmare all at the same time.

**** Simple answer; [[spoiler: Zombrex stops working on death. The virus kicks in, reanimates TK, who heads to the elevator. As for why Katie and Stacey aren't in the elevator with you, maybe he sent them up first while he dealt with zombies, then took the second one.]] It requires a bit of WMD, but it's not implausable.]]

** Same way Chuck, the chef, the tiger handler, the magicians, the mascot, and the hippie do: grabbing random weapons and slashing them.

*** Kowalski being involved would certainly explain why there are already combined itens scatared throughout the cassinos.

** Zombrex is like any other "twice a day" or "once a day" medication. You have to take it at a specific time (as I'm no medical professional, I can't exactly explain why). As for asking somebody else to do it; Chuck's seen what some survivors will do and may be afraid of them overpowering Forsythe for the magical medicine (especially since one of the survivors requires a dosage himself). It really boils down to the question: "If you hold the medicine needed by many to save your daughter's life, would you trust them with the medicine to give it to them?" Honestly, I'd quicker trust a crackhead with my car before any of those nutters with my daughter's zombrex.

* "Thanks for saving me from certain death at the hands of Zombies, Mr. Green. I own the town pawnshop. I can sell you things. You need to get some Zombrex? Sure, that'll be an exorbitant amount. Folks gotta make a living, after all, even though I'm gonna be picked up by the military in a few hours and my stock of it will be confiscated for government treatment. You're rebuilding a broken bike? Well, since you saved me, I'll tell you where you can find some parts...if you'll pay me for the hints!" Fuck you Dick. Fuck you.

* How did Rebecca even get kidnapped by the Twins (assuming she had a firearm on her)? And how do the Twins know how to fight?

* After you defeat [[spoiler: the twins, the one that's still alive at taht moment]] says, "You'll all pay!" What did she mean by that? [[spoiler: Do all Phenotrans employees have ''that'' much disdain for the general populace]]?

** Well, as an example, the UFC has multiple events per year. The ''DR'' comic, ''Road to Fortune'', reveals that [[spoiler: Frank's agent got the idea for Terror is Reality after having a heated conversation with him on the phone about how Frank's TV show was getting replaced by "real" reality TV, which he then passed on to TK,]] but that was two years after ''Dead Rising 1''. So in three years, ''[TiR]'' must have had at least six specials per year.

* Supposedly TIR has been put on once a year since the Willamette incident which took place 5 years prior to Dead Rising 2. So in that case, why on earth is the one happening in the game TIR XVII(17)?

* Pretty minor, but the Playboy magazine has been bugging me for a while. You only find 1 copy in the entire game... under a table at the indoor waterslide SUBMERGED IN THE WATER. Out of all the places they could have stuck this they choose to put it in probably the last place anyone would think to look for a magazine! (And just how does Chuck read it anyway? Is Playboy making their porn mags out of plastic now? Or just using waterproof paper?) If they had put a few of these in the adult shop or in the lockers and bathrooms it would have been pretty funny and made sense. But instead they just dump one in the waterslide, I mean, was some guy reading it before the zombies came and just happened to drop it before going down the slide and running for his life? It just doesn't make much since to me, especially since there are about a dozen Playboy posters plastered all over the mall... You'd think there would be more of their magazines than the gambling ones since they bothered to go to all that advertising trouble...
