10 Video Games Where Forgetting Cost You Everything
5. Oops, Your Daughter Is A Zombie - Dead Rising 2
The Dead Rising series has always been a race against the clock. The schedule in the first game was already pretty stressful as is, but the second game has added even more nerve-racking time frames by introducing Zombrex.
Zombrex is a special anti-zombification medicine that staves off the effect of being infected by the undead. The protagonist’s daughter, Katey, has to regularly take the drug due to being bitten by a zombie in the past, forcing her father, Chuck, to constantly set out to look for it once the zombie outbreak takes over Las Vegas.
In other words, welcome to Dead Rising 2’s most stressful mechanic!
The search for Zombrex adds an additional layer of time management to the series that can be especially unforgiving to players with bad memory.
It’s already pretty hard to come across Zombrex, but then you also have to remember to take it back to Katey to administer it, which can be pretty hard amidst, well, a zombie apocalypse!
Still, you'd better not forget about it, because if you do, Katey will turn into a zombie and you will get an instant game over!
Sorry, fighting off the undead is not an excuse!
