Board 8 > Lol 7 day survival challenge in Dead Rising 1

(+) Yeah! (+)

Remember this shit? I forgot about it until I started playing the remaster on Xbone (inspired by SantaRPG)

if you beat this challenge, you unlock Arthur's boxers

so yea, you need to do it for 100% completion

as you may know, infinity mode is where you're thrown into the mall and you survive as long as you can. theres no one to save, and your life gradually depletes. You actually kill other survivors for their food. It takes 14 hours for 7 ingame days to pass

On the 360, I did the whole 14 hour marathon. But I sorta cheated, I set up the controller to disconnect after 30 minutes, and it pauses the game when it does. When it pauses, frank usually has like 3 blocks of health left so its safe.
So when i went to sleep, I would randomly wake up, turn on the controller, make Frank eat something (after stockpiling a bunch of food)

and then go back to sleep and keep doing it until Its fully time to wake up, then I just watch youtube videos, tv, or movies and just check back to see if its paused or not

this was probably not good for my 360 but I pulled it off

so this time, I have technology on my side

I can go to the home menu, turn off my xbone, and then turn it back on and resume my game. While I have to still do the 14 hours, I can do it at my leisure.

unlike last time, I had to do this in multiple attempts because of complications

first attempt, I let the controller go out, I unpaused it, and I decided to be greedy and wait until 2 more blocks of life depleted until I ate food. I got sidetracked on something on b8 and before I knew it, I heard Frank's death cries

second attempt, I suspended gameplay twice during one day. when I turned the xbone on the second time, as I was launching, XBL randomly disconnected and my profile signed off. It said "PROFILE IS NOT DETECTED, GOING BACK TO MAIN MENU". I was on day 5.

so I turned my Xbone's internet off so it doesn't do this again

attempt 3, JUST NOW
I had ONE IN GAME HOUR LEFT

I thought I was gonna do it before I go to work
then my cat, WHO HAS NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE, jumped on my entertainment center, his chunky butt touched the eject button, and I lost my game

Sounds fun

I imagine I could do the same thing with PS4 sleep mode

Most people consider it a hard challenge because the idea is youre frantically running around looking for survivors and Psychopaths to kill to steal their food before you starve to death and the food that you find lying around in the mall is finite, unlike the main game. Also it wants you to survive for seven days when the main game was only 3

But the thing is once you start playing that you will realize that all survivors and Psychopaths have set times and locations that they appear in. So once you get used to it and start learning their placements, it becomes more about stockpiling food and then just waiting in a safe area waiting to eat that food

So it becomes more tedious than hard

well I finally did it

and I think i'm gonna make a video about it

Only achievements I didn't get way back when were the 5/7 day survival ones. They required too much attention for way too long. Although, it sounds like you were able to cheese it a little bit.
