First and foremost, thanks for the kind words regarding AHCS. I really appreciate that so many people still hold it in high regard even though it's been literally years since it was in regular production.
Moving on to "Off the Record", I have no co-op buddy yet. And I'm going to make a confession here. I've actually never played any of the Dead Rising games with co-op. I don't like playing with randoms so I set it to "Friends Only" and that, as they say, is that.
All that said, I would love to give it a try. But I reckon we'll have to have some kind of knock down drag out fight (or a coin flip, whatever) to decide who gets to be Frank and who gets stuck playing Greene. Let's face it, Frank is THE MAN. And while I eventually warmed up to Chuck and am satisfied with his place in the Dead Rising pathos, if he had never existed and "Off the Record" was deemed the canon version of DR2, I don't think I'd have much of a problem with it. In fact, I think it would be FANTASTIC if you take my meaning.
