Playing Dead Rising 3: A Week Long Curbstomp

- I've had that Dead Rising 1 footage since about 2012 so bloody hell it was finally useful. This review does expect something of a familiarity with the series, particularly in gameplay and structure and as such is more comparative than my reviews usually are.
You can tell what I had to re-record or add to the review because I sound near dead. - Ігри
"It's the weakest in the series" Not anymore! :D
>When you go down to comment something, get a quote from the video, you look at literally the first comment, and realize someone already did that...
Walter Clements woah that escalated
@@bruhballs45" I like fire trucks and monster trucks"
Are you *the* Walter Clements or just a fake?
dead rising 4: hold my beer
At least Dead Rising 3 had some effort put into it
And now that the 4th one is out 3 looks like a masterpiece in comparison.
Thats because they atleast tried to make DR3 an actually good game ( i mean DR3 isnt a bad game but it isnt better then the first and the second games)
@@fancyglassesgamer DR1 and 2 were special, and DR3 didnt quite capture that. Still, undeniably fun to stomp around in, though.
LOL
Yes, I’m kinda glad DR4 was a bomb. I personally loved DR3, so now I get to listen to people moan about 4 instead lol.
Dr3 is a good game,it just didn't capture everything that made 1 and 2 special, expecialy in the map layout
More than 7 years later and it's such a huge missed opportunity that the list of Carlito's 50 infected orphans in DR1 doesn't match up in DR3. In DR1, orphan #14 was someone named Lisa Jackson.
The easy cop out is "Carlito lied about his list" but I think it's just the writers/director weren't paying that close of attention to DR lore outside of the major things.
The "Note: $5 Million is worth jackshit in Dead Rising" caption still gets me every time
in DR3's defense, the bosses in DR1 do become trivially easy to beat as soon as you beat Adam and get access to that sweet, sweet Small Chainsaw. good god is that thing unbalanced.
I think you need to ignore certain options in every DR game to make them more balanced, so I went into DR3 used to it. For DR1 it was the Small Chainsaw, for DR2 it was some of the most easily accessible combo weapons like the knife gloves, and for DR3 it's the weapon locker. So yeah, I sincerely don't think it's a fair point to knock on any of the games in the series for when they all have something extremely unbalanced about them. Some of this video just sounds like bias tbh.
You can cruise through DR1 just using the mannequin torso. There are 3 available in the warehouse and they constantly respawn throughout the entire game.
@@dudestep Also spawn really close by the Paradise-Wonderland bathroom shortcut.
The best way to play DR1 is to avoid Adam's chainsaw otherwise everything becomes mostly redundant. Since there's no reason to ever take advantage of using impractical stuff because you need it since the chainsaw will always be the best option and last for as long as you need it especially if you pick up spares it sorta inadvertently kills DR1's novelty.
I'm not against game breaking mechanics in videogames as long as they feel at least a bit earned, such as in DR1, since at least you had to defeat a somewhat difficult bos and take some extra steps by finding the three magazines that make the chainsaw even more op. How ever, DR3 just gives you away the ZAR that rivialize the little challenge the game had in the middle of the main story and that's it.
I’m annoyed Capcom keeps putting the Servbot head in Dead Rising games after cancelling Mega Man Legends 3 and blaming the fans for it.
True
They're different Capcom Teams. Every Dead Rising other than 1 was made by Capcom Vancouver (formally known as Blue Castle Games)
I liked the darker tone of DR3, especially when you see what horrible things have happened to the local populace.
I also really liked Nick just because he’s just an ordinary guy struggling to survive.
dn2ak But they’re all regular guys? You could argue Nick isn’t because he’s like a pro at motor cross but that doesn’t make him better at killing than a journalist and a mechanic
J T actually Chuck is the pro motor cross star while Nick and Frank represent ordinary people
J T See what the other guy said lol.
Would you prefer Frank from DR4 to Nick? I doubt it ;)
Dr3s tone isn't darker than the past games... The story is about the same level of dark. It's about what you do in the game that adds the goofiness. Sure the art is a bit more gritty (which I love) but it's still a goofy game (which I love)! I mean just look at the fucking million different types of combo bears there is
I liked it too... I just wish the gameplay hadn't been streamlined so much. I wish they'd kept weapon crafting rooms and save rooms and not made everything so easy and convenient. They did way too much.
I actually like the more flexible time constraint... which makes it doubly baffling that they'd remove gameplay that might make the extra time be filled a bit more.
"There's also grappling, but it's not really that noteworthy." It is to me when your grip turns a zombie into ragdoll and sends the shambling cadaver down the street.
I feel like the after-credits scene should have been Isabella phoning in Frank West about her cure, instead of making her the true mastermind of the Los Perdidos outbreak and giving her a motive to clear her family's name, even though she already knew the bad things her brother done.
I just realized that her character had been slightly derailed.
SO FUCKING TRUE! The whole point of DR1 Isabela was to redeem herself.
They fucked up her character at the end. It really annoyed me a lot
Isabella was always manipulative and that was the twist. She helped Carlito start the first outbreak that killed tens of thousands of people
I don't know if the Los Perididos outbreak makes her completely evil. It did end up killing thousands but also ended the zombie crisis forever. It's a grey area
If Gary was the main character of the game, that would be fucking great tbh. Maybe a little thinner and uglier, but he'd qualify pretty well as a DR protag. Maybe with Nick as a friend, like Brad/Sullivan.
Actually I think if he kept the wait on, they could have gone back to how sluggish Frank used to be. It would have fit in pretty well with the movement, maybe drop a few pounds, but not too much. Just make him feel real is all. I mean he did survive that long without having to drop a few pounds.
Why does Gary look like Neville from NFS Carbon
A tony soprano inspired mob boss would be fuckin awesome as a dead rising protagonist
I like all deadrisings except for 4
Ignis loud I give you respect for that
I like your style
Fucking wish i could like 3, but god damn an i a pessimist
And there is 4 reply's
@@nadenecarroll152 half life 4 confirmed
To be fair, death-farts are a real thing but nobody ever shows them because it only serves to make things silly.
Also, ingame dialogue reflecting character development are always great; Spec Ops The Line did this well too, illustrating Cpt. Walker as he goes from a by-the-books soldier to a complete psychopath
Also death shits and death piss
I really like that the character you play as isn't some sort of super human that can do anything. You're just a normal guy trying to survive.
Frank: Just a regular photojournalist with no prior experience in combat. Except that he covered wars, so he probably got some basic experience for firearms from that.
Chuck: A dad, and a motorcross racer. He doesn't really have combat experience just like Frank, but he's really good at driving vehicles efficiently, especially motorbikes. Since he tinkers with vehicles, you can make the assumption that he's also has some experience being a mechanic like Nick, but not to a huge extent. And his handiness in making weapons came from there too.
Nick: Just a normal, everyday mechanic who happens to be immune from the virus, and doesn't have much combat experience like the other two. His handiness far surpasses Chuck in that regard as he can make weapons on the fly without the need of a workbench. Since he's an experienced mechanic, he can even combine vehicles to make insane killer machines.
Notice how none of them have military/police training and is just some regular survivor? Sure, Frank covers wars, but he wasn't directly involved in the army, so he doesn't have army training besides from the stuff he has covered.
dude, nick took out several military bases and hundreds of heavy armored soldies all by himself. how is that normal? lol
Aaaand frank used to wrestle zombies as a job, nick was a mechanic
@@digaum1657 You're right on that, lol.
The whole wrestling zombies thing is a Dead Rising 2 Off the Record thing, which is non-canon btw.
@@dracko158 It's canon in my heart of hearts.
DR3 is great, but somehow, the Willamette mall makes me feel like in a real zombie apocalypse
37:20 - I wouldn't say Nick became blaze, he's just sincerely had enough of these truly evil people and knows they need to be dealt with. It's refreshing to see protagonists go through changes like that and have violence actually be the answer to stopping the madness. Good characters are often forced to do shitty things but what matters is what shitty things they're preventing in doing so.
I love how in all of the Dead rising 3 reviews I have seen on UA-cam Garry continues to be the best part of the game
I still really enjoyed dead rising 3, it’s flawed but far from bad and I do think it’s worth checking out
So, the black guy betrays you for an equivalent of 5 bucks?
lol
sounds right.
@Ferbottom dex? That fucking sellout
@@-kold he looks more like pierce
@@prammetacon3010 yeah and he shares the same voice actor but I said Dex because he sold out
The one liners in this game are amazing
Incredibly in-depth and satisfying video, as always. You're the most underrated reviewer I know
Im gonna be honest. Upon meeting gary and then playing through the game I was prepped up for Gary to be revealed to be Frank. They are similar looking, (and if Gary had brown eyes and slightly darker hair it would definitely have been something to really think about, though I don't doubt if Frank had to for some reason hide his identity, which I thought breaking into Phenotrans would have caused, he could easily find stuff to change those) and even have similar backgrounds (Frank is theorized to have been a big wrestler due to his moves, as well as Off the record appearance (not canon but still could have been a hint)). All gary needed was a camera and an outright reveal. Would have been pretty funny too, to see Chuck and Frank sticking together so long and Nick to be... well added to the family.
The game was fun, and yes to easy but Nightmare mode really does help it, it does actually make some of the psychos harder to fight. While the gameplay did change, it feels good, Nick just feels really damn good to control.
One of my biggest issues is clothing tbh, there really just isn't a lot of really good options to wear, especially with your only jean choices being skinny jeans and some practically white, dad jeans.
Nick Oak I don't think anyone else in this entire universe shares that same opinion. slender photogenic witty frank = bulking lovestruck jerk Gary ?
10 years can do that to a man
sure beats what he ended up being in 2016...
@@kellofkells6002 uhhhh Frank isnt exactly "slender"
Rastaman193 yeah but he just looks nothing like Gary, and Gary just happens to be the most animated character in this cause of his almost unnatural size, although the prison zombies were also pretty big
8:42 I find this to be a particularly interesting point - it's an issue I had with this game despite being unable to place why exactly this is.
It seems like they designed a lot of the bosses with having more of the DR2 style of gameplay in mind despite all the changes - I think that most of the psychos in this game, in particular Jherii, Darlene and Kenny would have been a lot more difficult with the DR2 style.
Here though, they act way too slowly to keep up with the player characters actions, on top of not nearly dealing enough damage - IIRC the boss that dealt the most damage was Hemlock with some of his blows - and I've only seen him take out two blocks of health at most, which compared to the equivalent bosses in the previous two games is nothing.
I was hoping DR4 would remedy that, combining all best aspects of the previous three entries, but we know what happened with that.
If you pay attention you can find a bunch of inaccessible maintenance rooms with orange doors littered throughout the city. As well as save bathrooms. There's even a few you can clip the camera to see that there are rooms behind the doors that look just like the maintenance rooms from DR2.
It's clear at some point in development the game played a lot more like DR1 and DR2... but they scrapped it for the weapons locker and all the convenience bullshit that ended up being one of the games biggest criticisms.

@@TheOneTrueLeo2002 You're illegal then
@XxSLaYerZzxX - Oh no :-0
Shit i haven't got mine
With how corona is going, yeah definitely
DR3 was my first Dead Rising game (basically because 1 and 2 as well as 3 are banned in my country (and I only got to play 3 because it was free for Xbox Live Gold members for a certain time and since the current gen consoles have no region locking, I was able to get it without having to go out of my way to buy foreign cash cards just so I can buy something from te international store)) and I honestly really liked it. It was fast, it was smooth. Sure it was easy and there wasn't a whole lot to do to be honest, but I had a ton of fun. Normally I absolutely HATE online play because I've got no one to play games with, so my only other option would be playing with randoms, and we all know what an annoying mess that can turn into. However, I met someone online who randomly joined my game who didn't hinder me in doing what I wanted, but also jumped in on his own whenever he felt like it and that's when I experienced how fun online co-op can be if you're not forced to stay close to each other and do the same things. Hell no, he went around for a couple of hours and did his thing, and I went around and collected everything I could find. Eventually we would meet up by random and slay some zombies together and collect some blueprints just so we would eventually split up again and do our own thing. This was so refreshing and fun that both he and I started to play regulary together, he helped me collect some of the harder to reach collectibles, I helped him mow down zombies to no end, eventually we conquered the story mode but things started to get going when we started talking even outside the game about what we want to do next as well as our hopes for the - at the time - upcoming Dead Rising 4.
And when Dead Rising 4 came out... well... it ruined everything I experienced thus far just by being an absolute boring chore to play.
Everything I liked about DR3 was gone and so was my interest in this game series.
Of course since the rando I met in DR3 and I had nothing else to play, except this awful game that was DR4, the contact eventually broke off.
I still wonder what he's doing at times.
In short, Dead Rising 3 showed me how fun online co-op with a stranger can actually be if it's properly executed. It refreshed me during a time where I played so many games that I felt completely burnt out by giving me not only freedom in when and how I want to do something, it was also fast-paced and worked basically like a snack. Just quick easy-going fun.
Then came Dead Rising 4 and it fucked all those experiences in the ass and actually made me quit gaming for quite some time. It was such a let-down.
@No Chill That's actually a pretty sweet story. lol
Man,sorry to hear you lost contact with him.
Honestly, dead rising 3 was the best dead rising game for CO-OP and the second best dead rising for storyline
You liked Gary, then you should have played on Xbox one -- the Xbox companion app for Dead Rising three had him calling you on your phone and mono-logging about things happening around the city, also giving you some side-quests that can only be reviewed that way. It was a fun thing, at times it was consistently chatty and really made you feel like you were in this together.
Kind of a shame how this extra stuff fades away after enough years, it's an interesting idea, but it likely wont function after enough updates.
People who never played Dead Rising 1 don't realise how satisfying it was using a Shotgun to kill those asshole prison convicts in the jeep..
Just shows you how much more powerful you felt when it restricted your damage at the start until you found out where you could find the hard hitting melee weapons and guns, something I feel the later games missed the point with due to giving you beyond OP weapons right at the start and just getting easier from there.
Hey man! Great review, very honest. I agree with you pretty much on everything, especially that Nick is a great protagonist. I think he has a great character arc and all around he is a the definition of a nice and naive hero. The only thing that I disagree, to small extent mind you, is a map of the game. I think it gave it Escape from NY (LA) type of feel especially combined with synth music. The main character has to run around the city, meet weird people, and ultimately escape from it. I really feel that it was a right choice in terms of a sequel, but the execution is indeed lacking. Other than this, it was a fantastic review!
+Fuad Abdul Kader I'm not sure if I talked about the in game music at all, which is a shame because it's generally pretty good stuff if a little understated.
+Tehsnakerer I think you skipped music and sounds in general which are descent. I also watched a couple more of your videos great stuff, dude! I don't know if you did Resident Evil 6 but I highly recommend it. This game is just bombastic and pure fun, if you let go of any expectations of horror elements!
"Be considerate and beef it in an orderly manner". Okay, i have a new favorite phrase to work in to my vocabulary now
when it comes to psychopaths i made a habit of saving their weapons, especially the ones with guns, for the next one because it made things a lot easier since their weapons were ridiculous, that or find an odd weakness that made more sense than you might think like slappy falling over if you jump kicked him because he was wearing skates and thus lacked balance, gotta love little details like that, shows a lot of care in a game
Apparently the psychopaths in this game are based on the seven deadly sins (greed, lust, etc). But I feel like that theming also lead to their individual characters coming off as secondary.
Chuck > Frank > Nick
After DR4, I'm slowly starting to prefer Nick over Frank
The more restrictive combat of DR1 and DR2 reminds me of what made Dark Souls 1 and 2 appealing and challenging. The attacks and movements of the player makes your character seem weak in comparison to the enemies that have more weighty or powerful movesets. Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 subverted this by making the player movements a lot faster, but making the enemies faster in order to balance the difficulty, which also carried over to Elden Ring. This provides for some tense, and immensely satisfying gameplay.

You can swear on the internet, bitch.
*Nick to Isabela* Yeah, science!
I love watching your videos after work, making myself comfortable with snacks and a blanket
I probably the few people that actually enjoyed dead rising 3 and yes,while the game was pretty easy,it still had the same things that make dead rising.The combo weapons which are just as good as dead rising 2's, survivors and you can even have them fight with you,the time limit and the psychopaths,unlike like dead rising 4 removing all of that. Dead rising 3 for me was the last dead rising game I enjoyed.
A longer time limit kinda makes sense cause of the size of the map
He comments that the items you need for the combo weapons are always near the blueprint which makes it so easy but that's similar to how in DR2 every maintenance room had the items you need for a new combo weapon.
*Jherri Boss fight begins*
Me: Okay, let's do this!

What is your worst fear for dead rising 4
+Charles Dejohn That it gets shallower, easier, and longer than DR3 I guess.
+TehSnakerer I've got bad news for you
Tehsnakerer it's even worse than dead Rising 3...at least there are some entertainment to this game, but Dead Rising 4's story is worse than crap.....it's boring, and it doesn't make sense at all.

He just uploaded a new video :)
Kain Copper Dead Rising 3 wasn't bad, still a lot of fun to be had, but 4? Oh god, 4
There is something wrong with the eyes. It looks like they occasionally go blind.
I recently played DR3 for the PC & I’ve got to say, it’s better than I thought it would be
As someone who’s played DR2 more times than I care to count, I really enjoyed it, granted some of the issues he brought up are valid, namely the horrible world map & occasional graphical glitches
But my biggest complaint with series was fixed, leveling up is no longer a slog, it feels perfectly balanced and while the time limit was a bit too forgiving, you can always play on nightmare mode for the good old Dead Rising experience
I would love to see a review of off the record. It gives you the chance to talk about the mechanics of Dead Rising 2 compared to 1 while also talking about an entry which not many people have played (to my knowledge at least)
Sad you didn't mention the amazing music. Also, I loved this game. It's my favourite Dead Rising and I was surprised at how much I loved Nick.
This for me is the best dead rising game
Relate
Booo
I mean, this is definitely better than 4.
22:22 ... you know you're gonna fart and poop yourself once you're dead, unless you die on an empty stomach... its our inescapable fate to die and poop ourselves. Just some of us have IBS and do it without dying first.
I'll be sure to go to the john before I check out
I actually killed Garry, because I was playing the nightmare mode and was running out of time.
And compared to 4, this is an amazing entry to the franchise
I love it when i see a review from you on my Sub page.
just found this channel great in depth work I love this type of review. Ive never played a series where the first game is the best and it gets increasingly worse over time.
The Shockmaster DR1 is not the best its a shite with bugs, shity AI almost brain dead they can only walk and the most shitty combat so no DR1 is not the best
That was a pretty solid review. Very thorough.
This game get way to much hate
Its not a awful game it pales in comparison to its predecessors and it lost the charming spirt of its predecessors but its still a pretty good game
"There were close calls I willamet"
I feel like most of the criticisms here are mainly influenced by nostalgia for the older games tbh. I personally preferred this one and all the quality of life because deadrising has never been a hard or challenging game. I just wanted to have easy access to cool shit and i think this game nails that.
I actually agree, a lot of my criticisms are inspired by the first two games being better :)
@@Tehsnakerer to each their own 🤷♂️ still a really entertaining video though
Quick Question, are you planning on Reviewing the new Shovel Knight DLC?
if not, what'd you think of it?
I feel like if this game was a spinoff people wouldn't have hated it as much
i actually didn't care to get spoiled on any of the story, i dont know why, but i did always try not to get spoiled on dead rising 1 & 2
I really did not mind 3 it was far far better than 4 it was pure shit plus i like how darker it was and nick was not bad.
I am not a hardcore fan of Dead Rising so I don't mind them making the game easy but I wish they did add a infinity and sandbox mode..
fun fact, all the bosses/psychopaths in this game are inspired on the 7 capital sins
i remember saying to myself "annie is sure to be katey"
So did you know the 7 psychos in this game are based on the 7 sins ?
So the entire plot of the game would have been totally avoided if Isabella just put out an ad in the local newspaper? "Men with tattoos of numbers on their neck wanted"?
10:15 "The combat was built with you being a bit lumbering in mind." Was it? Every single psycho/boss encounter in 1 and 2 felt like a clunky chore that I beat by smashing my head against a wall repeatedly or exploiting the AI in some way. While regular zombies were mostly just set dressing that's only ever a problem in some of the worst escort missions to ever appear in video games.
I really enjoyed the playthrough of this game that i watched. It's just a fun game, albeit easy and the map is shit, like snakerer said. I really enjoy Nick as character, too.
Nah, nobody wanted Frank West back, Chuck’s return was much more welcome
I prefer this game just because of the atmosphere
I swear to god Gary looks like Neville from Need for Speed Carbon, I can't be the only one who sees that
I thought that too, what the fuck
Maybe they're both inspired by a movie character or something
KittyGirl 586 thought I was the only one
dead rising 3 is alright, i like it especially compared to 4
nick versus hemlock is realy just the raiden vs senator armstrong we have at home
Here's my question. Would you say that this is a good place to start gameplay wise because it is easier?
So not so much a bad game, but trivial in difficulty.
I am definitely in the minority for this, but I actually prefer this one to the DR1. This is mainly because of 1's clunky gameplay, and because it was the fourth game I played. I don't have the option of playing on consoles (and still pissed off at Capcom for not having Case Zero or West for PC), and thus never got closer to the experience of Frank West than a Let's Play or a walkthrough, until the remaster for PC. I don't dislike 1, but personally, I enjoy playing this more than I enjoy that one.
I replayed DR1 after years of not touching it and damn was it's so clunky but damn was it so fun because the "japanese jank" actually adds to the difficulty and excitement to the game. I also liked the design, it's meant to be hard, it's meant not to be finished in one single play through. It's meant to punish you for not babysitting the dumb AI. Should it have needed a few extra polish? Absolutely! But I just love exploring finding ingredients for the mixer, mixing and matching some magazines and weapons. Switching to a western dev kinda lost the "Rogue-Lite" element to it. It still had it in DR2 but kinda lost it with DR:OTR with the auto-save feature.
I'm all for modernization but Capcom Vancover definitely went overboard with losing the "Rogue-lite" elements of Dead Rising.
@@edjeil123 Agreed! DR2 was my first, and I still have the disk (complete with GFWL, ugh...) and while it's also still not as smooth as DR3, it's my favorite. OTR is a little over the top, but still has the same feel as DR2, so I like them both. Still, if I had to rank them based on how much I like playing them...
1: Dead Rising 2
2: Dead Rising 3
3: Dead Rising 2: Off The Record
4: Dead Rising 1
5: Piece of Shit that pretends to be Dead Rising 4.
This game goes on longer than it should
I’m late to this game, but I really like your witty commentary it reminds me of youtubers like pyrocynical and ihe.
dude .... awesome costumes... they were hilarious.... should have called that out in your review
It's in the footage so it's a nice bonus for those paying attention
I will never not lose my shit at the phrase "collectible unfunny death puns".
Huh, funny how vehicles are underused here in missions but in the sequel Exosuits are overused in missions and do not exist outside of them.
You know its kind of funny. I really didn't care that much for this game when I first played it, but watching your review I'm surprised at how much I remembered and how much some of the characters stuck with me. Still not a patch on DR1.
This video is 7 years old and DR4 exists and was terrible so what I'm about to say is irrelevant but it would be cool for a DR game had 2 or 3 playable characters.
A character like Nick gets to craft anywhere but maybe can hold less stuff in general
Annie or whatever can hold more items or something but has to have a workbench etc
Like Jill and Chris in RE
I found the the jazz hands to be way more powerful than the BAR, i shreds psycho health bars in seconds, and that is not an exaggeration.
In worlds where you can prevent the zombie virus from overtaking you temporarily with medicine, why don’t they send the bitten on essentially suicide missions to do stuff normal people wouldn’t do? If an áreas to infested and there’s no way your not getting bitten, just send these guys. This is cruel but I feel it makes good sense for a story like this and gives interesting opportunities.
Your comment reminds me of an indie game called Garage: Bad Trip
In that game the protagonist is infected at some point in the game and, because of that, he is sent in a suicide mission later in the game
2 years later and the last stand aftermath does exactly that
I thought that weird overly sexual cop was difficult to fight
Maybe I'm just not a difficulty guy but I don't really see Lower difficulty/generally more lenient and extra convenience as necessarily a bad thing
It depends on context, in a series which used challenge and for lack of a better term 'inconvenience' to satisfyingly structure its gameplay. Convenience takes away from the character of the experience while a lower challenge takes away from the tone of the gameplay. In Dead Rising's case I'd say a lower difficulty and more leniency isn't an improvement but taking away from the appeal that people who enjoyed the earlier games liked about it.
Would I enjoy this game if I'd never played a dead rising game before?
My only experiences in Dead Rising were 3 and then 4. I was confused to say the least... I eventually gave up in three and just grabbed the nearest car to get to place to place/kill zombies. Car on fire? Cool, now it's a bomb, go grab another, repeat ad nauseam.
Another comparison between Dead Rising 1 and 2 is more akin to dragons dogma whilst Dead Rising 3 and 4 are more akin to Dynasty Warriors.
I'm like super late, but I wonder why people didn't like this game? I'm still confused
Because 4 was released and people realized 3 wasn't actually that bad
@@jackhazardous4008 I honestly never thought it was bad. Seeing so many zombies was mind blowing when it launched. I loved it, even the phone app and kinect gimmicks.
@@makogiron compared to the previous protagonists and their stories Nick and the story of 3 just fell flat for most fans
@@thedarkderp2520 I believed 3 was a bit more interesting that other dead rising, but to be honest. I never really got into the stories deep. I feel mostly the gameplay and areas really made the game enjoyable. The fact that dr3 was open world was very fun. I agree nick wasn't interesting.
You should revisit this game again, it scales incredibly well with todays newer computers. Look at my gameplay vids of it with 70fov and fps unlocked
Dead rising 3 physics are better hands down over 1 and 2. The reason why the older games are harder is because of the poor mechanics, not the difficulty, deadrising 3 is technically the best in every way. It's just the world is boring and empty. If they did a dlc for dr3 in a mall or vegas it would be the best imho
I dunno, I'd contest that. Even with DR3 controls DR 1/2 are definitely FAR harder.
I mean, the psychopaths don't have health items littered absolutely everywhere in the boss arena, you can't make combo weapons in the middle of the fight without leaving it, DR3 DEFINITELY provides more power increases through levelling up by adding stuff like passively regenerating health and invincible vehicles, guns in DR3 are insanely overpowered, DR3 allows you to spawn in whatever you want without having to learn where said items are located on the map or with any actual difficulty in acquiring ultimate combo weapons, DR3's time limit may as well not be there as it's so lenient, DR3 is way more generous with vehicles (and the larger size of the map does not compensate for this at all. One combo vehicle can take you across the entirety of the map, whereas DR2 vehicles could take you across one zone and that was generally it. Not to mention that DR3 literally gives you indestructible vehicles at level 50).
I'm not saying the other games were masterpieces in difficulty or anything, but the controls are definitely not the only reason. DR3 overbuffed the player to insane proportions.
Except the game was balanced around you being sluggish. Its like saying the resident evil games are poorly balanced because of the tank controls.
Hey look, a Capcom Vancouver apologist.
3 is nowhere near as good as 1 or 2
@@TooMuchSascha again, nostalgia.
this game is better looked at as a sandbox. if you like the mechanics of dead rising and want to mess around with that with a friend, this game is great. I really enjoy this game just for the purpose of messing around with weapons
I wish dead rising 3 was on ps4
Sry PS4 player I'm Xbox but u guys kinda have better games
PS4 has the last of us to compensate
Personally I just love how the whole game is presented like an 80s film. Synth music everywhere, love song credits song, large amounts of blood, etc.
That and I actually really love the Psychos in this game.
Is it a great dead rising game?
Not really
But is it a great game?
Yeah, definitely
I couldn't finish this game because I leveled up entirely with several days still remaining and finishing the story just felt like a chore.
I love Servbot-chan!
are you going to do deadrising 4 at some point?
Yep
Nice! looking Forward to it.
To be honest Dead Rising 3 is quite good.
I loved Dead Rising 1 and 2 and must have played DR1 for well over 200 hours.
3 is decent and i had a good time but the map is too big and having to drive or run from one side to the other a hundred times gets annoying. The FOV is too close and you can't change it.
Serpico's Beard i would love to hear why you like DR 1 and 2 because the game is shite for me :-(. Because its hard to get levels in those two games and when tutorial tell you save survivors for huge PP yet those fucking dipshit cant even fucking follow you and get stuck in the fucking walls, stairs, doors, loading zones, signs on the ground, couches on the fucking ground and prety much everything on the god damn ground. Those games are fucking shite because everything is fucked up by the horible AI and that terrible combat. Thats why I cant even convince myself to progress through the story :-(
Imo the most annoying part of the map is how many roadblocks are in by end game, you literally cannot drive into or out of the top right area by end game, especially if approaching from the southern highway.
Dead Rising 4 announced. Thoughts on Frank coming back this time around?
Well, for one, the guy is aging really well. Idunno though, having watched the leaked cutscenes it's a mixed bag, some of the dialogue was amusing and I like the set up, but (this isn't just the new VA, who's alright) Frank's whole tone has changed, but then again this is years later so that's yet to be seen.
I ain't going to judge much until more is revealed, though initial thoughts aren't bad.
Tehsnakerer Yeah, never know until the full game is released. I am certain it's in good hands, l wonder just how well it'll hold up in the end.
