If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
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!

Screw that then.

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.

quote:

In this DLC, Frank West is freshly infected and needs to find a cure before he becomes a zombie and is lost forever. While searching for a cure, Frank discovers that everything is not the same as it was; zombies are getting smarter, people cannot be trusted and paramilitary forces are plotting to wipe out Willamette. Frank has a limited time before he reverts to the full zombie state and the city is wiped out. Frank will have to get to the truth first… or die trying.

From what I'm hearing DR4 sounds like the sort of boring wet fart that isn't even worth pirating.

You're not wrong. I wouldn't accept DR4 as a gift. For all the endless talk of "Return to our roots" the series is entirely alien to DR. Like it's closest to DR3 of course, but it even feels alien to that. You know how some people say they lost love for the Saints Row series as it got more zany, that after 2 it just sort of became a self-parody? Well DR4 is like that... multiplied. It feels like a parody of a parody. Except instead of still being a fun game that just happens to take the story in an odd way it's... functional? But it just does nothing I want. I didn't want to hate this game because, obviously like everyone else, I'd love for DR to get a revival. But I think this put the nails in the coffin instead. Frank doesn't feel like "Older Frank" he just feels like a new character who happens to have the same name. Like DR4's Brad. He's not Brad from DR1, he just has the same name.

I think it's mostly that the team wanted that, what they want and what they deliver is mostly going to be different. But it really painted a lot of perceptions before the game even came out. Still we ended up with goofy Frank so then I ask what was the point of the change?

Well see it's a different kind of goofy Frank now. Now he's hip and with it and Goofy in all the committee approved ways that a man who looks like this

thinks a goofy character needs to be. I don't like to judge people on their appearances but yes, that is 100% the face of a man who thinks he's done everything he said.

The thing I liked the best about TJ was that he was such a random and crazy choice. Like the only thing Video Game wise I've heard him in was Dead Rising, like he's not a notable voice actor so I don't think he's taking a paycheck from anyone and the new guy they got apparently has only one credit which is DR4. So like to me it might be they didn't have the budget for the guy, unfortunately.

Unconfirmed (and may have been deconfirmed) it could have been the voice actor strike.

In the lead up to DR4, I watched Brownman do his streams of the DR games on the Xbone. They are still strong as gently caress... though they can crash.

Having now watched... 8 hours of footage I can safely say these things

1. This is basically Dead Rising 3 except brighter
2. Frank needs to shut his loving mouth because his quips ever 10 seconds are not as funny as the person writing this game seems to think they are.
3. Frank had his rear end in a top hat factor rammed up to unlikable. He's obsessed with his fame and nothing else. Which is a pretty rapid departure from how he previously was where he absolutely wanted the world to know his name and to put himself back in the spotlight, but was genuinely a decent person underneath it all.
4. Whoever decided that the one thing missing from DR1 was Kent being an ally is a loving monster for making Vicky. She is an awful person, in a game of NPCs who are unlikable she is the least likable.
5. This plot makes less sense than usual
6. For all the hyping up of the game being set in the new mall, you're there for about an hour, and then you're basically in Los Perdidos again.
7. There is no such thing as fun super zombies who leap around like ninja's and take a billion hits to kill. On that same note, saying "Well, the Fast Zombies are actually Freshly Infected Zombies" is frankly really stupid, since it's been 6 weeks since the outbreak occurred. If it's only the "Freshly infected" there should be like... one or two, not a loving horde of them.
8. By far the worst bosses. Not just because the Maniacs are all boring as poo poo. But even the in-story boss fights are dull affairs.

If I had to rank the games It'd be like... OTR>2>1>The DLC add-on for 3, 4<>3, CTYD.

Like 4 is maybe a better game than 3? It's basically which flavor of poo poo you prefer. Boring or insulting.

Although I'm pretty sure everyone else already came to this conclusion seeing as the thread's been quiet and I've not seen discussion anywhere else.

Dead Rising 4 is kind of a mess but I'm near the end of Case 2 and Frank's personality, default outfit, the city's design and overall tone makes the entire game feel like a reimagining of Evil Dead A Fistful of Boomstick , which I played and finished over a decade ago and never expected to think about ever again.

Other than that the game feels extremely empty despite how detailed the environments are. Most of my time so far has been spent following the objective marker and very rarely I'll get a prompt to clear a safe house. Is that really all there is to do? Unless you're into hunting collectibles there doesn't seem to be anything to do now that you no longer have to escort survivors and the timer is gone.

Pretty much. The maniac's have no personality so they're basically just stronger Mobs. Once you have the Ice Sword everything in the game melts and ceases to be a threat. Beyond that, exactly what you described.

I'm aware, but apparently a melee weapon which locks enemies in place and fires shockwaves on its basic attack has the properties of literally melting zombie hordes.

I didn't watch all of that but man that's hella lame you can't pick up all the stuff lying around the world. The fact that you can pick up pretty much anything that's not nailed down and somehow use it as a weapon was also one of the really cool things about the series.

I just don't get what the were going for with DR4

Getting some money out of the IP.

Frank is back, in zombie form! Much like this thread!

The $10 DLC ending for DR4, Frank Rising, is available now at your nearest digital marketplace. With features such as:
- Frank as a zombie
- That "timer" thing people keep talking about

It looks awful.

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?

Watch for yourself I guess.

EDIT: spoiler here He either goes human and writes a best selling book and exposes the government with Vick or becomes a plagued with nightmares as a recluse, still cured
