This game is really good and I'm glad I don't need a 360 to play it anymore. I actually got into this series with the loving resi 4 Wii version but I don't remember enough to tell you anything interesting

It's mentioned in the OP, yeah. They crammed what plot beats they could into the Resident Evil 4 engine. I remember not despising it but that was before I realised the full game existed, so.

Man I love the original Dead Rising still. Only restarted once mostly due to Aaron dying and since i haven't saved in a while I just let myself die and take what levels I had to a new save. Now I am at the last stretch before Overtime Mode starts. That said, it been a while since I played through the other three games. While Off the Record is a more enchanced version of 2, I kinda want to go through Dead Rising 2 proper first before doing Off the Record and 3 again. It would be nice to play 2 and 3 again, as I have both on Steam and both games had the bad luck of being played on my PC at the time that were below specs on the PC I had at the time of both games release. That said, I probaby won't try to get all survivors in 2 and save more of that stuff for Off the Record. Especialy since 2 had some really annoying survivors to save like the poker players and the group that you never get a call about and had to find their hideout in multiple days.

I just can't bring myself to replay 3. It's not a terrible game, but after redownloading it a while back I just got to thinking about it and decided to uninstall it again. There's just something missing from that game, and it's not Frank. I think my biggest gripe with 3 is that it's too much of a sprawling mess. What I liked about 1 and 2 was that they were smaller, self-contained areas. I don't want Dead Rising to be an Open World, I just want it to be a playground. I want it to be a ball pit full of zombies.

There's just something missing from that game, and it's not Frank. 3, I think, has no real clear concept. Like yeah, it is 'bigger' but bigger doesn't mean much. You have MORE combo weapons but the combo weapons honestly devalue a lot of the game because they overwhelm everything else. There's on fun in trying to find a usable weapon after your last one breaks because you've got twenty seven super-weapons stacked inside Nick. This has always been a problem with DR but it's worse in DR3 because the simplified mechanics over-emphasize it. There's nothing about it that is 'distinctly' DR3. 1 had photography and the entire start of the concept, 2 had combo weapons being introduced, 3 just feels like more of the same. (I'm genuinely concerned 4 will run into this problem too.) It also lacks personality. Nick is kind of boring. The city is kind of boring. The plot is kind of boring despite having the makings of something interest. The large open city means each individual area is less memorable because there's so much space you don't go "Oh poo poo, I'm going to Jill's Sandwiches to get some healing items" it is "I'm going into this place for some stuff."

While I'm glad they kept a lot of the jank intact, I'm surprised they didn't fix the geometry of the ledge or just outright change it into a ramp or something. Like the timer, the general survivor AI, the combat, those were all generally game design decisions but how survivors just broke down whenever a pack of them reach that ledge just seemed broken. Like you can't even use the excuse that the average person would of course act irrational if there were zombies right behind them and they had to climb something because zombies don't even show up on the roof during the story!

Except for the start of Overtime mode when the zombies suddenly are at the helicopter pad and never show up again after the cutscene. As for 3, I did like it. Game does lose some of the charm of the other games. It weird on it's tone, as it has a more serious tone to the game....then you fight your best friend who flying around as a astronaut in a museum tossing globes at you, or your mother figure gets her arm cut off and you replace it with a blowtorch.

Combo weapons are kind of neat but I hate how it made regular weapons or everyday items mostly worthless in comparison in 2. For me half the fun is beating zombies with whatever happens to be on hand, like a potted plant, or soda, or a tv. In 2 that's way less effective and you want to just make the drill weapon or lightsaber or whatever. Las Vegas was less interesting than Shopping Mall or Small Town (Release Case Zero drat it) to me as a result. 3 was literally unplayable and ran at single digit framerates without a zombie on my pc that can run Doom on Ultra so no comment there.

I kept getting lost, even with the map. - Combo weapons are insane, and you can get them for free from a safehouse. - Too much vehicle focus. - Nick stays shy for way too long. I like him towards the end but he never gets any real personality like Frank or Chuck. - Map is also too big. DR1&2 are dense. DR3 is just wide.

Another problem I had with 3 is a lot of missions required you to find specific items, but the massive map made it impossible to find one item in particular.

Now the clothing dresser on the other hand, that was a fine idea. Because all that poo poo is purely cosmetic and I hated having to run around just to re-find an item of clothing after changing into something else for a while.

I liked 3 a lot. Definitely the weakest of the series so far but I had fun with it. I'm also one of the lucky few it seems whom the PC port has worked completely fine with, even after upgrading my GPU twice and my CPU once since it came out so I'm not sure why the game always worked fine for me but not others. I do agree that it lacks focus though. It tries to do too much and isn't sure if it wants to be a gritty, darker game or maintain the traditional Dead Rising goofyness. I think the ending kind of turned a lot of people off too with the big reveal.

Pretty much what the others said. I finished DR3 once and then never touched it again. Even like a fourth of the way in, I already just kind of wanted it to be over with. The game's tone is all over the loving place and it mostly clashes horribly with itself. The moments when they tried going for 'quiet, horror-based drama' were especially grating.... and even moreso because they made finding such moments a loving collectible. You'd have Nick quietly muttering things like "Oh, God, no...." in a hurt, sympathetic voice with a sad piano cue in the background.... as a progress bar popped up on the screen and the pop-up text spat out some pseudo-witty one liner about the horrifically mutilated corpse you just found. The characters were beyond inspid - the protagonists were so bland they may as well not have had names, and the villains were a little TOO good at being unlikeable - they weren't the 'fun to hate' variety, just the 'Jesus Christ, who thought this character was a good idea" type. And yeah, the combo weapons were way too powerful and way too easy. They so far eclipsed everything else in the game, and were so simple to acquire, that combat was an anti-climactic joke at any and all times. The cars didn't help, either; you went from a small, desperate, claustrophobic race for better equipment to driving up to survivors, clearing away all the nearby zombies with one or two shots from your superweapon, then ushering them into your vehicle and going for a leisurely drive back to base. I mean, it was a technically proficient game. It hit all the keystones of the series and I don't recall it ever crashing on me. But my God, the design decisions.

The "combo Rhonda" part was hilarious though. Chuck coming back was cool. Chuck's witty Dad puns were the best part of DR2. Need more of those.

Just lost about 3 hours worth of gameplay (Off The Record) because the game just reset itself on me. Hadn't saved because I didn't want to grind for the million dollars to pay the ransom and was content just to gently caress around until the Military arrived then start over and... Balls. Weekend soon, I guess. Plenty of time to waste then.

I actually liked the characters in DR 3 it reminded me of Saints Row. It was played straight to the point of hilarity. The story was and acting was very Sci-fi channel original, or slightly above sci-fi channel original. I also liked how Chuck shows up outta nowhere.

Yay beat Dead Rising 1 again. Got all surivovrs on the 'second run' since I restarted very early on due to Bill dying while waiting on the two idiots in the clothing store to join so I just let myself die and keep all the levels I had gained. Tried to do a second playthrough to get Frank the Pimp and the one to get all psychopaths photograph, but died to Cletus without saving so I just save that stuff for another day and move on to Dead Rising 2. Much I hate to use trainers in games, I love one that makes doing Zombie Genocider and the Infinity Mode stuff a breeze. I did that legit back when the game came out...never again.

Man I'm glad DR1 got ported to steam, that game has a magic to it that 2 doesn't quite capture. Since you couldn't just make a nail bat every two minutes, DR1 felt much more about scavenging for supplies and caused you to form an attachment to the mall and the individual stores. If you asked me where to find any individual item in the game I could probably run right to it, but in the second game I can barely even remember what stores are located in the area attached to the safehouse, much less any of the other areas. I'm looking forward to a replay six months from now when I finish DQ7 and SMT4A
