One of the developers of the DLC confirmed that these stories weren't the original plans, but due to the Microsoft exclusive deal, it messed up what they really wanted. They originally wanted it to focus on Frank West and Chuck Green.

And yet, Dead Rising 4 makes this look like a masterpiece.

I actually really like dead rising 3 Not for the story, or the gameplay, or the design of the world, or the weapons, or the bosses, or the DLC, or the super zombies, or the characters, or the anything come to think of it I have no clue what I like about this game. Maybe the power levels, like how you start out really weak but then you’re clearing whole crowds with your kicks That’s my main draw of dark souls 2

As someone who was dealt with alcoholism extensively, I don't think the writers/devs have ever met an actual struggling alcoholic lol

just leaving it here in case anyone is confused about the ZDC DLC it's tied to the xbox smartglass missions, which were once featured in the game and meant to lead up to the events shown that part of the game is now inaccessible unless you use an older version of the xbox app, but you won't be missing much aside from an unawarding side story, access to ZDC weapon crates, and numerous locked areas in los perdidos (the police station in south almuda, the locked doors in certain fire stations and the wrench-o-ramas, etc.) if anything it's more of a drag, but it did toy around with the idea of using your phone as a transceiver, which sadly ended up feeling gimmicky it also includes snippets of info on psychopaths with backstories, which are also uneventful hope it helps *edit: the locked areas do contain combo weapons or ultimate combo weapons, but otherwise feature nothing unique

Sometimes I feel like I'm in the wrong for liking this game, a lot of people hate it. I think is fun so idk

Nick is yelling at Brad because Brad appears in the smart glass missions. Which you can still access through some voodoo.

Don't get me wrong, I love Dead Rising 1 and 2. And I have problems with Dead Rising 3, many of which were voiced in this video. But I don't understand the critique of powerful weapons being easy to come by, or giving the lockers such flak, in almost any playthrough of Dead Rising 1 under the fucking sun people always carry the Small Chainsaw from the Adam boss fight and a bunch of magazines to buff it. Dead Rising 1 is by far the easiest game in the franchise to abuse because of this. With just 1 or 2 out of 3 magazines to buff it and just occasionally grabbing the chainsaw when you are in that section of the mall you never need to pick up any weapon though the game again (I know because I literally did a playthrough not to long ago where I did not pick up any other weapon post Adam). Even in Dead Rising 3 where the lockers are plenty I ran out of ammo/durability and occasionally scrounged about for weapons to use in a pinch. In Dead Rising 2 your combo weapons constantly break and need replacing, especially the more powerful ones, or they straight up have the limitation of being heavy which makes them unviable. Nothing in both of these games even comes close to how ridiciolously fucking efficient that small chainsaw is. People will conjure up ridiculous excuses because it's Dead Rising 1, but suddenly with Dead Rising 3 anything goes.

In the Angel dlc all those survivors who die in the spec ops raid on that safe house also have "X Is Dead" pop ups as you approach. And all of them are survivors you save as Nick in the main game. Why they bothered to have that detail, which only adds in more in game inconsistency, instead of just have them be corpses or like you said zombified to match up with the Kane dlc better is beyond me. It feels like all of these were done at the same time by different writers like some half assed comic book event that none of the writers bothered to actually synergize with. And Angel is the absolute worst of that in terms of narrative inconsistencies.

one of the main developers of the main game explained that with the deal they had with microsoft to make this game exclusive to xbox that made there time to develop these 4 DLC’s less then 3 months to make from start to finish storyboarding writing and development in 3 months

The DLC for this game just proves the low level of charm and creativity that were put into Dead Rising 3. I think we’ve all played a game or DLC where you play as someone other than the main character. The gimmick is typically this character is different and you have to play them differently. Giving all these DLC characters access to the weapons crafting system is so lazy. This should have giving you a chance to play the game in a new way with characters that have access to different weapons and abilities based on who they were. I’d be like giving Sherry in RE2 a gun for her sections because god forbid we have to change the game play in an interesting way to justify her inclusion.

Found your channel a week ago, went through all the dead rising stuff + l4d video. I'm absolutely delighted to see you've uploaded this video.

I remember being so excited for this game. It would've been cool if it lived up to my expectations.

I remember playing this demo in 2013 and thinking it was gonna be such a huge step up from dead rising 2. Then after finally playing it I only got as far as the Chinese boss who drops the guan dao (very early) just because of all the pent up frustration with the movement. Seeing the comparisons to the old games frames it very well because at the time I couldn't put my finger on it other than thinking this one just isn't fun. Great video!

The glove gun moment was priceless

Hi @Dorkaxe. I have been late on this, but I figure I covered some things for the Dead Rising series. While the original Dead Rising was made in Japan, it should be noted how important Capcom U.S.A. was for the development as they played a big part in the characters' designs and the game's dialog. For example, Frank was supposed to look much fatter and uglier in the original. Capcom USA said it was a terrible idea, so they decided to go for a more average look for Frank as well as the others. Dead Rising 2 first began development in Japan as a lot of its concepts, like the characters, location, and more, came from them. However, not all their concepts were good. For example, Chuck Greene was originally supposed to be Chuck Reid, a smokejumper in his mid-40s, as opposed to his early 30s like Greene, and would be skipped even further in the timeline as Cindy (Katey) was going to be 11/12 and would have been infected since she was a baby. This was changed to a motocross superstar as they felt Chuck being a smokejumper would make him too over the top and not everyman-like. They also ensured that Dead Rising 2 would occur in real-time, like 1. Capcom U.S.A. again helped with the development of 2 as they helped with the culture of the USA and communications between Capcom Japan and Blue Castle Games. Blue Castle joined the project in early 2008. While they did not create a lot of the original concepts of 2 or the changes I mentioned, they did create the combo weapons as they were inspired by The Red Green Show, where ppl would use duct tape to fix or combine things. I would also add that Case Zero was being made as the base game, and Case West was when they added the final touches. Both Case Zero and Case West took roughly six months to make for both titles. This is more than half of what DLCs of three got, as they were only given three months to make them and were not being made alongside the base game. Their original DLCs were supposed to be a prequel story like Case Zero. This would have been followed by epilogue chapters, with each focusing on different Dead Rising protagonists, starting with Frank West, then Chuck Greene, and finally, Nick Ramos. This was changed when Microsoft bought the project in mid to late 2012, and their budget was then focused on the base game. There were other changes, too, such as originally how Dick Baker, the 2nd player of Dead Rising 3, was supposed to play a bigger role in the story alongside Nick and how Ending X, an ending in which you kill all survivors, was cut. Capcom Japan did support and research development for Dead Rising 3 and 4 if you look at the credits. I would also like to mention that the producers of Dead Rising 3, Jon Airhart and Mike Jones, have worked at Capcom Japan at some point, with Airhart doing communications for 2 and DLCs, while Jones was an assistant/associate producer for Dead Rising 2 Off the Record and Resident Evil Operation Racoon City. Airhart has since moved back to Capcom USA and produced the remasters of 1 and 2, While Jones left in 2014. There is more stuff, but I covered enough and suggest you watch Did You Know Gaming's video on How Capcom's Dead Rising Studio Fell Apart - Game History Secrets by Liam Robertson to learn more about 3 and 4.

i personally like dead rising 3, i find the game to be fun. i do agree with the critisicms the game at one point started to feel lifeless and empty but i still found it a somewhat fun experience for the most part

I just found out that there's "Super Ultra Dead Rising 3' Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + α". Would love to see your take on it

LMAO that "boink" foam finger is amazing and that makes me so happy xD It was cool to see how they actually has some good parts for the DLC (like the infecting the safe houses) so at least it's not a TOTAL loss :P As always an amazingly well written and executed deep dive into a game that clearly has so much wrong. Your ability to dive into these details and put them so well together and make it clear what does and does not work for a game continues to impress! Keep it up and look forward to the next video!! :)

Ronda has her arm in the Zdc guys story even though she loses it before meeting Gary again so?

I found your channel through your original Dead Rising 3 video, so it's a real treat to see a new hour of complaining about 3. Keep up the great work!

All of your vids are always entertaining and funny, but this one might be the most downright hilarious. Of course, as a bit of a masochist myself it might come from it being a bit relatable to me but either way it's great! Good stuff, thank you for this blessing of content my good man.

So stoked to watch this as soon as I get home from work ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Cool to see the stream get turned into a video (I was watching the stream)

"Fine is the peak, the all-time highs of Dead Rising 3" 🤣

You know, if by a chance the spec ops go to the hotel, can't you just, you know, rig it with explosives... and blow it up when they get inside? Angel literally goes full Serizawa in Godzilla: King of the Monsters because she can.

“Dorkaxe Joker origin story” 😂

As a person who’s likes DR3 these dlcs don’t make sense to me on why there on the same map obviously Ik why but I just feel we could’ve told stories in a new place of the map you don’t see in the main game

Between the streams, ad libbing, and usual tight analysis this video is definitely one of your best! So sorry it had to be after all the suffering I had to witness 😣😣

Tbh honest I play Dead rising 3 for the goofy wacky things. Not because it's super polished, great story, open world, and movement. Because Dead rising 3 has none of these things pinned down. What it does have down is being fun. Most of this is rather mute points. I think you came at this from looking at its predecessors, and it's studio and there's nothing wrong with that. But it's not that kinda game its very far from that game. I absolutely love the this game for what it is. If you don't like this kind of game then that's cool and you don't have to play the game. I think a lot of people agree with me that Dead rising 3 has the best gameplay for all it's dumb flaws. I've never had more fun in a zombie game with my lads in my life. In my opinion this game is for people who are big on chaos, and not for those who like order. I like both but I'm not gonna critique the one for not being like the other.

You played this game AGAIN? I appreciate your sacrifice!

This guy keeps me up at night

I really liked dead rising 3 but dead rising 4 was terrible. That was the biggest disappointment.

I feel like dead rising 3 and saints row the third are a good test for people with trash game taste. They can't see the game for what it is and only as it's ideas. For example, they can't tell the difference between the older games gameplay and the newer ones. They see dead rising 1 and 3, and to them it's same game with different graphics.

Just seems like nit picks tbh

Seems like the dark souls 2 of dead rising

All I wanted was a Gary DLC

The whole scene was awful but from 30:13 to 30:17 angel displays DMC donte levels of unfettered cringe that by itself turns her insignificant demise in the main story from an unremarkable tragedy to a happy accident, Jesus even in that scene she kinda looks and displays the mannerisms of donte

Also this wasnt mentioned but when i first tried to play this game i chose nightmare mode cause i thought “its a town, not a mall so the bathrooms/save areas should be in each building…” NOT ONE IN A BUILDING i could find in a whole street area! Isnt it illegal for a business NOT to have a bathroom? Whoever designed this game failed “Game Design 101”

It'd be cool for you to do a critique of Black&White and Black&White 2 by Lionhead Studios, same guys who did the Fable franchise. Fable is another series I'd like to see you critique. Cheers man! Can't wait for the next vid.

Ya know, I discovered your dead rising 3 video while I was talking to a friend and got wondering why we couldn't force ourselves to beat it. Thank you for reminding me how awful it is lest I waste time! Honestly it's only slightly better than dark souls 2

ITS HERE! WEVE BEEN TRAINING OUR WHOLE LIVES FOR THIS!

Controlling the character in this game is absolutely diabolical. I get motion sickness.

I still think KZfaqrs have ruined the term “awful” and “utter trash”. The game is still more fun and competently made than the majority of average games. It’s just largely disappointing because people expected better for a Dead Rising title. I do respect your commitment to covering the game in such depth though.

The ZDC agent was part of the XBox companion app exclusive and Nick will NEVER give zombrex unless do you that plotline exclusive with the XBox companion which is styled like Nick’s little doohickey for mission objective, at least on XBox but idk about PC

I've been waiting for this video for about two years lol

I am not sure why people hate this game so much, its so fun and i have played it since 2013 and just began again a couple days ago

Glad to see you back! You should talk about The Last of Us part 2 sometime :)

The lockers are optional though I appreciate u only need to get the weapon there I think? Or just pick it up and it goes to locker I forget. But some weapons u may only come across in a certain areas u don’t have to run over the huge ass map to get it. But good video as usual and something to watch for a couple hours thanks.

It was so hyped and disappointed 😞

I thought I was done with DR3 forever, I guess just one hour can't hurt...

Dawg I just found your OTR vid again and remembered how I binged your series a while back Amazing timing man.

DR3 is just when you realized that the series is out of steam, there’s really nothing more you can do with the initial gimmick. It’s no worse and a lot of the complaints can also be said exactly for 1-OTR. The only issue 3 has is navigation, it makes vehicles pointless, next to or no strong antagonist, and the timer is too forgiving. However besides us hardcore the timer was a turnoff for alot of casual fans that just wanted to get in on the action. I think 3 handled the middle ground the best by giving us hardcore fans the nightmare mode… which admittedly isn’t that much harder. If you don’t like lockers because it makes things too easy….. don’t use them? You can play this like a traditional DR game, if you chose not to by indulging in the casual options that’s on you. Other than that the main story I’ll admit isn’t as interesting as 1 or 2, but it’s not bad… it’s just there. DR4 is the only really bad game

i know this vid is a year old but why did you sound like Morty at 43:46

I remember loving this game when it came out, granted I was 11, but after going through and trying to play it again like a year ago I never really noticed how much moving around the map is just sluggish.

Disagree with you it had the authentic dead rising feel, being timed for missions, building your own improvised weapons also the first one to take place outside of a shopping centre or a mall. also you where a new character who isn't Frank West or chuck greene. Nick ramos was just a survivor while Frank West was a photographer, chuck was a racer with motorbikes as Nick your character was a engineer so you could craft stuff. Dead rising 4 is the worst one in the series no timed missions can craft everything without earning the blueprints personally dead rising 1 - 3 are better then 4

Something i noticed that you didnt bring up is how many of the weapon animations and executions are recycled its ridiculous how almost all of them are

Hopefully this is the last time you ever have to play this game! 🎉🎉 Fingers crossed lol what other kinds of games are you working on for videos?

I personally loved Dead Rising 3, but it's okay if you don't like it! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion; but I understand you didn't like how it got too easy at times alongside the fact that Frank West is in it. But it's all good, I would rather play Dead Rising 3 any day over Dead Rising 4.

Great video 😁

Most of Razorfaces attacks are copied from Jherii

This game was amazing,quit with the nostalgia

Super Ultra Dead Rising 3' Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + α when?

Can you do dead rising 4 dlc?

I honestly love dead rising 3 more than 1&2 just because of the game weapon and vehicle system alone. Like you're given a reward for stacking combos with combined weapons and easily leveling through the hordes. i never get the issue like losing momentum after aiming like that while playing on pc. I HATE dr 2 where you can only make weapon on a certain place like you waste 2 inventory slot until you reach the maintenance room, so the crafting on the spot is a chef kiss for me

I respect the sacrifice you had to make to suffer through this bruv lol but it must be said this video might’ve made me laugh more than the original DR3 video . Amazing stuff dude 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏

love to see a new dead rising video!!!!

Things I liked about this game: Nick, and the mecha dragon, reaper, and staff family of weapons. That is all

I Did liked Super Ultra Dead Rising 3' Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + α

Being honest I did enjoy the game for what it was, because it at least had some of the essence DR1 & 2 had (for instance: completely deranged psychos with cheesy dialogues, the fact you can dress with anything no matter how ridiculous and ofc, the combo weapons), unlike the absolute rubbish that DR4 was (and it's not canon for me). I do agree mainly with some of your points such as a pointless "open world" with many blocked lanes & trails, or the movement system whilst running making me feel dizzy sometimes (unless there's an option to turn off that, but I can't recall...), albeit, I also thought that the Survivor System was a well-deserved relief compared to the bloody dumb one from DR1 because of its poorly designed AI. Respecting the psychos, I seldom thought they were unenjoyable, however, I did think they were made too easy due to some really OP combo weapons, nevertheless, reiterating, the absurd dialogues plus the amazing soundtrack made up for its lack of difficulty IMO (despite some people fancying "industrial rock" from the previous games better). Overall, DR3 was decent, although I do agree that the DLC were lacklustre, but I definitely prefer this game more than the mediocrity of DR4.

Well that was a ride. Your karmic debt is repaid!

Never let Canadians do your videogames.

Can’t wait to sit through this, I’m also begging you to dive into the Mafia series 🙏😭

46:45 I like to think he is talking about chicken wings

45:30 I take it you havnt played final fantasy 4 because this literally happens like 10 times through the entire story

it would be cool if the dlc was just 72 hours when the outbreak starts and it shows the tragic ends would be a nice callback to the main part of the game then again i am 13 hours without sleep so we shall see

Its also horrible optimised on PC. Combo categories are bugged showing no available combos, even though you have them unlocked, game randomly deleting your entire progress or Red boss fight being bugged if you defeat first phase too quickly. I luckily bought it at 7 bucks and apart from these problems the game was great, but I feel bad for people buying this game for full price.

i appreciate these videos so much dead rising 1 and 2 are my favorites games and i get lost in them for hours. and you are quickly becoming my most watched content creator! im gonna start watching more than dead rising tho😭

Oh boy here it is.

laugh up while you can chuckles we all had the best one. just like me when fighting another clown in dead rising 2 off the record (my personal favorite) 17:34 even better when i had to use a plastic toy hammer.

Yeah, there were times.

I just Replayed it and finished it today. Other than the pop ins and the controls sometimes , i fuckin love this game idk what you're on

Honestly, I always wanted to play Dead Rising 3 I really like how it ties in with Dead Rising 1 with Nick being one of the orphans that Carlito injected and also it ties in with Dead, rising 2 with Chuck and Katie but sadly, for some reason, they released it only for Xbox one, and at the time I switched to PlayStation.

Bro came back to flush the toilet

I just know that dislike ratio is crazy

I loved playing this game when I got it on the Xbox just hated the blueprints part but 4 is just so gross

Ready to see the viewer count for dr4 when it's streamed 💀 ☠️ 😂

You forgot the multiplayer party mode dlc 😏

This video is legit why you have a low sub count. 3 actually had a huge fan base. Being the 2nd best in the series behind DR1. Oh and please tell me how DR2 is so much better.. that game felt like such an in between state. While the game had good ideas and was trying to improve, it was such a hassle to play and everything felt second thought. The setting and tone were not there. The Strip wasn't nearly as memorable either. 3 has an entire city, ties up loose ends in the story, can combo weapons on the go, can customize vehicles, the gameplay and physics were the best in the series, especially with all of the DLC. This is not a very good take considering DR4 exists. Anyways, cool video.

DR3 got hit with the dum dum juice, which only got worse in 4. Being able to combo anywhere was already a bit too convenient. Then when you can turn any item into any other item from that category, it becomes insanely broken. Never having to rely on what's available really takes away from the experience. You'll always have some combo weapon that does dummy damage. Time management is a joke since you don't have to escort most of the survivors, don't have to make stops for zombrex, combos, or literally anything. You have plenty of time to crawl across this lackluster city. Picking up collectible Franks becomes a boring chore. The PC port also suffers from horrible performance issues. The game is locked to 30 FPS which can be fixed pretty easily, but then trying to take the game over 60 FPS at all will break your inventory into flickering garbage. I also vaguely remember the PC port was basically unplayable at launch. Still I had a decent time playing CO-OP with a buddy, but alone I feel like it would be a total waste.

Loved your dead rising videos bro so entertaining and love your opinions on the dead rising series loved dead rising 1, dead rising 2 hated 3 and 4 boring games removing the time limit!!

I know this is rich coming from me, but I honestly think your at your A game when you cover games you enjoy, for example, I tried to do a review on Tom Clancys Splinter Cell double Agent for the ps2, I even used original Hardware and everything but the game was so mononist and boring that I genuinely believe I had wasted my time, I literally got close near the end of the game and gave up right then there, I felt so stressed out playing it, I believe people should find the good in good games, because it just sucks the energy out of ya, it almost always make you feel awful in the end I had a better time playing metal gear for the ps1, a console that arguably has way more limitations then its ps2 sibling and stiffer tank controls, but despite that it's one of the most magical game I've ever played on the ps1, it made me realize that games Don't need quality graphics to suck you into a game, it's matters if it's interesting enough for a player to keep going, and feel like there apart of that virtual environment or world

dead rising 1 2 and OTR are the best dead rising games. 3 is just weird and i played it at launch. the camera is just at such a strange angle, it always feels off compared to any prior dr game, makes it hard to get back into. the oversimplified survivors and the locker system killed any need to explore the map. the timer was so slow it might as well have not been there (until they added a hard mode, if i remember it made the timer a little more strict). the dlc is all god awful and not worth it at all. except arcade remix which should have been standalone. the near constant need to drive a car in both dr3 and dr4 reminds me alot of state of decay, except unlike SoD its just boring in dr3/4.. also, smartglass exclusive quests was a horrible idea (i think all lost now as smartglass is gone entirely) the xbox one kinect being pushed heavily and the only thing they could come up with for dr3 was zombies hear sounds coming from the kinect and walk towards you and voice commands that almost never work lol idk how dead rising ended up so far away from what the first couple of games were, it sucks to see happen. hopefully capcom japan revives the series and does it justice and ACTUALLY goes back to the roots of dead rising

I think the biggest problems most games face is nostalgia standards. DR3 was a fun game. It was smooth, psychos were good, crafting was better, no load times, etc. People like DR1 a lot but the mechanics were a lot worse it was just new. DR2 was good and the first one I tried and had a hard time going with DR1 after using combo weapons, etc.

Guess I'm the only one that likes this game ?

2:45 F&*&ing Kelsey! 😂😂😂

Just finished the game today the psychopaths personalities are stupid final boss was way to easy though Nightmare Mode does sound interesting the story is all over the place final thoughts didn't care for main story 1&2 are better as well as the spin off of 2 off the record i have to agree with you the puns are unbearable there way better in 2 and off the record one more thing to add is that this game only has 1 save file unlike 2 which has 3 so if you want to start all over from level 1 then kiss your level 50 nick goodbye

I was there for the streams....I was there for the suffering.....including the tragity that was the angel is fallen dlc......and getting pissed learning about the glitch I had during the biker mission

Get em, kiddo!
