As somebody who just played the first game this year, this was a very helpful look at what makes this entry in the series so controversial among the fanbase. I got it as part of the package with 2, OTR and 3 (but I just went and checked and see that it's missing the Frank Rising DLC) but was not in any real hurry to play it. This will definitely help make it a more enjoyable experience whenever I do, knowing what to expect and not to expect. Great work! 😎👍
Thanks! Glad you found it so informative, I definitely tried contrasting/comparing this one way more to the previous entries than I did with the other parts! Hope you have fun with the rest of them too 😃
This might be a hot take but I think Dead Rising OTR is the perfect older Frank look and could be The Frank West look if the og Frank wasn't the face for the franchise
If you really want to give this game a fair shot for whatever reason, the best thing you can do is play it during the holiday season with a cozy blanket and a glass of eggnog. Truly unfortunate the game is only okay for one month a year.
I got this game recently. And im having fun with it. I kind of like that it is completely different from the other games. No time limit so i can just have fun mowing down hundreds of zombies with all the combo weapons. Also fun to run over the zombies with the cars.
I replayed this just a few days ago on Xbox Series X and... it wasn't bad. It's not Drad Rising material, no, and it certainly isn't the Frank West we wanted, but maybe my copy was a red herring, be ause the graphics, gameplay, and even some of the hit boxes felt smoother and cleaner than before.
I switched from xbox to ps at the time and since dr3 was only on xb1, I opted to play DR4 since it was the only next gen DR game I could play when I got my ps4. At the time, I had fun killing zombies but so much had changed that it didn't feel like dead rising anymore. The removal of the time limit didn't bother me that much at the time but the lack of a day to night transition was so damn lazy for an open world game.
The hate for this game is completely unwarranted. I don't care if Frank is changed. Who cares I'm the main character in this game also I don't need a damn timer in my game and I want a big expansive zombie World to run around and have fun in and kill zombies. That's why I Dead Rising 3 was awesome. Everything they did in this game that everybody complains about is exactly what I wanted them to change. Games awesome.
I didn't like this one, or the third. I'm looking forward to the remake of the original. I had a blast playing that one. It was one of the first games i bought for my 360.
4 opened my mind to the franchise, the time limit didn't quite sit well with me at first because I didn't know how to proceed, but I had so much fun wreaking destruction that I decided to give the rest another shot Edit: forgot their names, but literally just killed the dual chainsaw clown and grocery store manager
Also doing a replay. I wish they would have made the controls better. Even a new RE Engine controls would be cool. It's better than what's been released lately lmao
How were able to even start the game?? There is a bug where the game won't even start and Capcom said they won't fix it. So again, how were you able to play this game?? Also, Frank West voice and mannerisms are based on actor Bruce Campbell. Capcom should had got him.
im sick that from the comments ive seen and this guy playing through the game neither he has noticed or anybody has stated how the holiday mode can be turned off and the game can be played without it. on top of that, not that its any better tbh but there is also an alternative holiday mode that changes it from christmas to i think either 4th of july or st patricks day i forget. but the point is that you dont have to play the game with the christmas theme active. you could have no theme at all and play it like a non holiday game.
I literally make a joke about it when I turned it off. Additionally, it does not get rid of the rest of the tiring Christmas theme, or any of the other numerous complaints I brought forth in this video.
@@Zanyverse oh. my bad. i must have missed that joke. i do admit that even without the theme a good amount of weapons are christmas based which is why i said changing the theme doesn't necessarily make it better. plus i haven't even finished the game myself.
Crazy that it’s been 8 years already

100% right
Might be a correct* take

Lmao makes so much more sense why the player count plummeted come January
I recently went back to this game on Xbox and PlayStation. I loved it at first, but the more it went on, the more I started hating it
8 years! I remember this like it came out only a couple years ago. I just forget it came out in 2016, always think it was 2019 for some reason

I cant believe this game came out 8 years ago, Got me feeling old.

I love this game, my childhood

3 was definitely also a step away from the establishes formula, but it had a lot more going for it than 4 ever did.
And yeah, nothing'll beat 1.

Adam and Steven
I feel Capcom have always been trying to make Frank more of a James Belushi type, it's evident with the DR1 Remake
Damn its been 8 years already

Still a pain to play don’t even bother
I got it for 5 bucks so imma play to get the achievements at least still probably will be miserable
I don't get the hate. Playing through it now. I get it's not Frank but it's better than getting Chuck again.
Whats wromg with chuck? 😂@@NineTails87
It’s nothing wrong with the game. People complain about stupid shit. I swear man the game is fucking awesome

I bought it on a deep sale ages ago, dropped it really fast. Tried it again not long ago and yeah, its still pretty bad.
Literally the worst game I have ever played
