Did anyone have the Dead Rising 3 ad play before Yahtzee's review? Just wondering.
Not really surprised this latest installment sucked. The one thing that bugs me is the glut of zombie-based games, shows, comics, etc. This is one trend that needs to go on an indefinite hiatus. Practically everyone and their mother is doing something zombie related and its getting very weary.

This video content has been brought to me by Dead Rising 3.
Also, YZ tried online dating? I wonder how that went. You should tell us about that sometimes.

I like Zombies just fine, the amount of Zombie content out there is insane though.Zachary Amaranth said:
Funny you should have that little RE5 reference at the end there. I heard from somewhere that RE5 has recently become Capcom's highest selling game.
Clearly the reason behind this is the boulder punching. I suggest Capcom put more boulder punching in future games to win back revenue and fan trust! A boulder punching simulator, maybe? Hmm....

Sheva died once or twice because I insisted on looking for a less stupid means to move that damn rock. Tried not hitting the buttons that made him punch it in the hopes a "Press X to stop being such a tit and PUSH the fucking thing" button would appear, tried shooting it with my shotgun, I think I even knifed it once or twice thinking he'd wedge the blade under the boulder and use the leverage to move it.
No such luck, preposterous testosterone-poisoning solution it was.
OT: I'm almost glad to hear DR 3 doesn't apparently have anything I'd want that I couldn't get from the previous game, partly because I don't have to hear the 'new' conspiracy story, partly because I'm probably not going to bother with getting either new console any time soon.

It's not as bland or easy as you think. The story mode is easier, yes. But if you long for the more challenging Dead Rising style of play, it has that too in a special mode called NIGHTMARE (open from the beginning). And while the location itself is less colorful, it feels natural to the world of Dead Rising. Remember, this isn't a closed in area like a mall or casino where an outbreak just occurred, it's a huge section of a city where the outbreak has been ongoing for a few days. So it's natural that it would be a bit less colorful and run down. And dressing Nick in silly outfits is as fun now as it was in 2006 when Frank got the same treatment.Mikeyfell said:
Plus there are plenty of store and shop interiors that have clever designs and more of the classic color and feel. This is a Dead Rising game through and through.
I get the complaint about the combo weapons. In theory. But in practice, the locker system just means that it's easier to stock up if you're there. You still have to find the pieces, you're still hardly ever near a locker when your mini-chainsaw whirling dervish breaks amidst the horde and you need to improvise something fast.
Dead Rising is my favorite game franchise. I've played each of them multiple times. And 3 is a worthy addition to the lineage offering plenty to do for new fans or old. After completing it for the second time I immediately started over and am still playing it almost daily (when I'm not having a Forza binge).
At this point, boulders are a more interesting enemy type than zombies. Are Capcom punching boulders as part of their job, or headbutting them?daxterx2005 said:

That's what I thought too, about the "mechanic" who can't even duct-tape two random objects together without a blueprint. then again, I'm a Computer Engineer and I work better on them when I at least have the circuit diagram, if not the whole manual.canadamus_prime said:

I'm leaning toward the Samsung phone with the watch, so I can do a more convincing Venture Brothers cosplay.
Well it is kinda. But much less so than Dead Rising 2 was. Though really I don't see how Nick wanting to help people is countered by his rampant slaying of Zombies. Nick's not stupid, he knows that the Zombies can't be saved. It's nowhere near as bad as Chuck having sympathies with C.U.R.E but then he immediately goes out and destroys the Zombies (some of which are C.U.R.E members).canadamus_prime said:
Edit: The Mechanic thing is an example, too. I'd say it's pretty much the only example and it's only limited to the weapon combinations. I doubt a mechanic can just look at two cars and go "yep, I'll know how to blend them together".
Man I can't wait to get this game and probably be disappointed after how much I loved Dead Rising 2. At least then I'll hopefully never need to buy another Capcom game new again though. Also, anyone know if they kept the Time Limit thing in? I heard that they made it optional and was wondering if I could just go and turn that on before I started the game.
I can see it being more fun to run over the survivors when they can't figure out how to open a door.
If the AI is this stupid, could there be a mode where we play as the zombies? I mean, they're kind of asking for it, might as well join the crowd and survive by merit of them shooting at Zombie #349,778.
I personally love Dead Rising 2 - but I'll wait for a PC release, because we all know it'll come sooner or later
...and it'll likely be a terrible port, but hey
That they got rid of the work-bench thing was nice, that you can't just randomly experiment sucks (But does encourage exploration and doing side-quests for blueprint rewards)
Also, from what I've seen then the new stat system looks very nice. Being able to up your inventory size? Yes please

I don't mind this many zombie games, frankly. At least there aren't that many on the PS3. Besides a couple of Resident Evil games, there's what, Dead Island, Dead Rising 2, The Last of Us and Undead Nightmare from Red Dead Redemption. Not counting zombie mods like CoD's that's exactly 6 games. Frankly I can't think of any more.
EDIT: Wait, the Walking Dead games.

For me the biggest problem is that the tone seems a bit inconsistent. The overall tone seems serious, while the gameplay remains fun and quirky, but as long as the game is fun, I don't think it's gonna be a huge problem.
