Dead Rising 3 ran at single digit framerates without a single zombie on screen and was unplayable on my PC that could run Witcher 3 on high, so I'm glad that DR4 will be on the PS4.

Was it a bug that those guys kept respawning or something? I just assumed it was a really big prison break. :v:

I think it was intended. They'd spawn every new day except if you were on the last case. They're one of the reasons I love the original so much, if you don't know what to do that entire area is super hard.

Honestly the whole game was hard until you started learning the tricks to it.

Yeah, it was great. I did basically everything but 7 day survival and I think rescue all 50 survivors in one go. Dead Rising had the best demo too, it was just 2 hours in the starting area, so a good quarter of the game for free. When the whole game came out I knew exactly where to go for the more hidden stuff like the smg and katana.

It also starts with "Zombies huh? I had a feeling you'd show up." which is quite the cold open.

Its not a remake. I don't even think its a remaster. Its the same game in 1080P.

Also, I am not looking forward to doing zombie genocider again.

I miss having the free time to be able to drive in a circle for three or four or whatever hours.

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.

Wait he replayed it? I might check it out, I loved his old LP of it but those were also the days where recording in 480p was about the best you could hope for and it's hard to go back to that now. I'd definitely watch him replay it.

He played for a couple hours, the recording's at twitch.tv/oatmealraisin

You can probably guess what most of the deaths were. :v:

Yeah I remember seeing the old thread at SA showing the screenshots and just being overwelm at how much this game can be. It was one of the big pushing points to get a 360 (along with playing Oblivion at my sister's house) and the game exceeded what I expecting so I was very happy.

I've been replaying Oblivion for the first time in years with an overhaul installed and I'm remembering exactly how loving terrible it was to fight goblins. Oblivion and Dead Rising were amazing on the 360 back in the day.

I bought the triple pack on Steam, but Off the Record crashes when I bring up the map screen. Has anyone else seen that? It looks like most of the issues are just crashing on start-up, which I'm not getting.

e: I really wish DR3 would run at higher than single digits on my pc. I mean if Witcher works, it should.

I don't think it's that people hate the idea of Saint's Row with zombies but that it sucks that it seemingly means killing off the unique and cool gameplay of the first two games. Personally I really don't get why people just have an instinctual revulsion to the idea of time limits. You were always able to just dick around and kill zombies and explore while ignoring time because the only stuff that matters carries over to a new game anyway. And the time limit of 3 might as well have not existed. I'm pretty sure I reached max level and explored almost everything and just spent most of the time dicking around and still had days left over by the end. It kinda reminds me of how a lot of people get freaked out by the time limit in Fallout 1 when it's basically impossible to realistically reach it.

You know, I like the idea of combo weapons, but I hate how they make anything that's not them worthless. Half the fun of DR1 was using everyday household items in a pinch, like a tv, or a lipstick display model. In DR2 and OTR though anything like that does barely anything at all most of the time.

I'm sorry I just can't get over that They've cut out Overtime, made it DLC, and the DLC is just DR1's Overtime mode! Look at the description for it, it's just DR1 Overtime but you have to pay for it!

So ending spoilers, because seriously what the ACTUAL gently caress Vancouver.

Frank and Posse run to the Helecopter, Frank leaps and grabs onto it, the Zombies, which are now of course the Super Fast zombies loving UNITE LADDER to dog pile Frank who lets go and gets eaten. Then the side characters literally poo poo on Frank in the ending calling him a glory hound who made poo poo up and did it for the fame. This is, as far as spoilers have made clear, the only ending. The DLC Frank Rising, is this. And I'm not spoiling it because they've released its descriptions, but tell me if this doesn't sound Familiar.

lmao

So with 4 is the idea that you're in the whole Willamette town this time? Do you go to the mall at all?

I feel pretty good about skipping DR4 to be honest. At least 4 lead to re-releases of DR1, 2 and OTR!

How do things end for Frank in the dlc then?
