Dead Rising 3 is Terrible - A Critique and Story Deconstruction

[@Dorkaxe]

As time went on, I thought I went too harsh on this game, I was overly critical and being irrational...however, after playing the game all the way through on stream recently and watching this again...I think it holds up well, if anything I'm too nice to it in certain spots. The ONLY criticisms I think are off or not great are 1. me complaining about the zombie shooting a gun. 2. my reasoning for survivors being invulnerable/off limits. and 3. i didn't go far enough in explaining how bad this open-world is when it comes to traversal. I plan to rectify the last two in a future video on the DR3 DLC, btw. Edit: That said, I should admit something since it only seems right. I tried on a few occasions to play Dead Rising 4 again, and I literally couldn't get through it. I can't possibly hold the opinion that 3 is worse than 4, since I played DR3 literally 3 separate times, and couldn't get more than 1 playthrough in of DR4. I can't respond to every person calling me out on it, but I totally understand why that old "DR4>DR3" opinion might seem silly. In a vacuum, DR4 is worse than 3, but I still think the drop-off is most significant from 2 to 3, which is why I felt so strongly about disliking it.

I thought the game was fun and enjoyable but I can definitely understand your criticisms. I hated the map and all of the blockades everywhere.

Hilde was one of the only bosses that interested me. Good music and a very destructible environment. Everything shattering around me reminded me of Control, which is a pretty big compliment for a game that came out 6 years earlier.

[@penguindomino9461]

There was actually a cut ending for killing every single possible survivor you could run into instead of saving them. Look it up. It was such a cool concept and it would have been a really cool easter egg... if we could even hurt them in the first place

I almost don't believe you, that sounds fucking awesome. One sec...Holy shit, I just saw it. That genuinely would have bumped the game up a notch or two. That's really cool, wish the first and second game had something similar.

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

I feel like the very minor idea for the tragic ending collectables was to showcase how unlike Chuck and Frank to extent Nick is *meant* to be a more reactive and idk emotional protagonist? At least in terms of death, like how he gets sick often or freaks out when Pyschopaths die. (Except when he doesn't, yay inconsistency.) Like he's meant to be the guy going "Oh my God, I can't believe what happened here. This is so tragic." blah blah. It's not a bad idea but it ironically feels the opposite with how half baked it ended up feeling, and like you pointed out how selective he was with it. Also it really could've just been a more passive thing, like he'll have comments if you move by some tragic scene. Or like you said there's more effort like making it an actual scene he reacts to instead of just the long faded after math. I really don't hate Nick and sort've get what they were trying to do with him, but another big hole in this is that one bad ending. Its makes him act like a total ass, and while totally non-canon and only up to player choice still just shows him actually being a prick and trying to abandon everyone. It's there I guess just as a "We thought some players would ask why he doesn't just do this, so we put it in to make them feel like shit for trying it and to punish those players." But if anything it sorta muddles the story's representation of Nick more. lmao

I could agree with you about the tragic endings, and this is me simply pointing out what is likely an oversight, but the DLC characters also react to the tragic endings the same way, which is baffling lmao

1:51:53 One thing that always bugs me about, "there's not enough room for all of us" scenarios is that if it was truly a life or death situation, you'd make room. Have someone sit on the floor of the plane, or hell have two people share one seat. Is it because the plane couldn't support the weight of everyone there? Surely two extra people wouldn't add much extra weight, even with Gary's fatass. There's even an extra seat behind Katie, so they easily could have fit everyone if someone just sat on the floor. It just rarely makes sense to me. A small car? I'm willing to suspend my disbelief JUST enough that there really isn't enough room for everyone in that case (Even though I was once able to squeeze 6 people into a 4 person car), but a plane? Aren't planes that size usually capable of carrying about a dozen people?

[@BrokenGodEnt]

The weight in a plane really matters, as does the way the weight is dispersed throughout. So there is definitely a scenario where 1 or 2 extra people could fuck with it enough to cause issues. But movies/games often still portray it incorrectly.

[@thekotabear3262]

@@BrokenGodEnt I think Days Gone handled it well in the intro

[@blacker5826]

The amount of people on a plane actually does matter a lot. I saw a video about a celebrity who died because they didn't want to wait for another plane to arrive to get the rest of the filming crew for a music video so they boarded 3 or 4 extra people on a plane, and it ended up crashing due to all of that extra weight.

[@zeroace4746]

Weight does matter, why do you think planes only let you bring a certain weight when it comes to luggage?

[@ajbanky7870]

Yes, the weight on a plane definitely matters, though you could easily fit more people on that plane and have no issues. As for the car getting out of the city, you could argue that maybe it would be much easier to escape with the military being distracted on the final zombie collecting operation going on and the number of soldiers have been too thinned out to maintain the quarantine zone boarders. It’s a massive stretch, but so was a freelance photojournalist who never fired a gun at a person becoming a one man army able to wipe out highly trained special forces solders left and right and a tank then beats the commander with his bare hands only after three days. Realism was never Dead Rising’s strong point.

This killed the franchise for me. The removal of the time restrictions was enough proof on its own that whoever was now in charge of the franchise did not understand the appeal of what they had. What made DR1 and DR2 such a great experience was their replayability. You can pick up more levels and knowledge and use it to improve over the previous playthrough. This time you can just work your way to 100% until you get bored. To be honest I had a similar experience with Off The Record. I went straight into freeroam just to see the new additions over DR2 and I burned out pretty fast because I already had pretty much everything I wanted; I had no need for upgrades. I had all the time in the world to stock up all the food and power weapons and absorb everything that each area had to offer in a single go. I regrettably never got to the point of giving the main story a chance.

You do know you have to Play the DLC untold stories to see Angels Story right?

[@Deadsea_1993]

That's not a good reason. There should be enough story in game where if you want to see more cause they are compelling then you buy the dlc. Capcom had been going down this horrendous business practice for awhile leading up to this. I truly believe that Case West should have been added to Dead Rising 2 as the true game mode with the TK fight being replaced. I'm fine with Case 0 being a standalone cause it was a prequel, but Case West was the true Canon ending. Axe had to (correctly) guess that Chuck and Isabella knew each other over the events from one of the 360 dlcs. Off The Record was great, but it was a director's cut and a reskin of DR2 at $40. DR3 was overkill with the dlc and then it got even worse with DR4 with overtime being restricted entirely by dlc. One could argue that it seems this call was the fault of Don M cause micro transactions were even in single player mode of Ryse:Son Of Rome and the fact that Dead Rising 3 had a ridiculous amount of dlc and to play as characters that were cardboard cutouts from this "story", but knowing how greedy Capcom are, it was probably a mix of both. One started badly cause of Don and Phil has done a much better job. 2013 was the darkest era for Xbox.

I would have written this game to be set in a fictional New York City in a mall and you couldn't escape from the mall or the city due to quarantine. Diego would be an anarchist and Nick would be a realist (see what I did there). They both would be adopted brothers with a backstory. DHS agents would be in the mall with Willis The Janitor. The agents would be looking for an Isabella Keyes while Nick would note that he hasn't heard about her or seen her. They would grow suspicious as to why Diego and Nick would say "Pachamama" to each other. A twist would be that they are the adopted sons of Isabella and that she had escaped Phenotrans to continue her work. Diego would be working for her, while this shocked Nick as he had vowed to have nothing to do with her after her actions of the first outbreak. Nick and Diego were made to be immune because Isabella had always wanted children. Nick still has a care for Isabella and must decide if he will do the right thing or stay loyal to his family. We would see an origins story of them all like never before.

[@Deadsea_1993]

Not just that, Dead Rising wasn't ever soley about killing zombies. That's why 3 and 4 weren't just walking backwards in this franchise, they were in the car racing in the opposite direction. Zombies were an obstacle for you cause the real enemy was the timer. Without the timer, the games get boring. Let's face it, the games don't have the content that Red Dead Redemption 1 had and they weren't trying to be like that either. There were activities to do that were limited and yet the timer added to the challenge. So the time gave weight to every decision. Do you risk missing a story case to try to beat the timer by taking that boss fight instead ? If there is no timer, the weight of that becomes useless. I found Sandbox Mode in Off The Record to be boring other than challenges. Cause without survivor escorting, without story cases, without psychopath boss fights, you see how limited the games are. Yeah it is fun killing some zombies in creative ways and yet that gets old fast. Psychopaths and the timer are the real enemies, not zombies. You also find yourself underwhelmed in 3 and 4 cause they are fully open world while the earlier ones were enclosed areas that forced you to memorize locations and unique weapons in order to...you guessed it...gain an advantage over the timer. Discovering the shortcut from Paradise Plaza to Wonderland Plaza or Royal Flush Plaza to The Palisades Mall was you giving the timer a middle finger. You eventually started paying attention to the shops and items. "Hey, here's a theater wooden sword and shield that is located backstage in this theater area, I can combine them with nails if I come back here". It wasn't a freaking grenade launcher in a toy store that didn't make sense. Making these games open world and removing core aspects removed the identity of this franchise. It was basically like if R* made a GTA game without free roaming.

Personally, Dead Rising 3 is fun but the gameplay was too big for its britches making you just get weapons off the bat in the lockers with little work. Plus the navigation was a pain and not being able to make combo weapons without blueprints sucked.

They should've kept Dead Rising's comedic tone. It was a fundamental problem to make DR3 so serious in tone.

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

The side missions in this game really were just awful and a lot of them I didn't even bother with either. One is literally just bringing a guy a bunch of shit to modify his car, Nick telling him he'll probably kill himself trying to do it, and of course as soon as I'm done exactly that happens. No "Hey look I'll help but let me do it since I know what I'm doing." no convincing him not do it. Not even being able to safe him after he makes an idiot of himself like other games. He just is a fetch quest the player wastes time on to watch a guy get himself killed. It's not a punishment for doing something the wrong way and losing a survivor, it's just wasting time.

the problem with bad games is that the bar has been lowered so far below ground that people will gaslight themselves into believing bad games were good because of how much worse their sequels/successors were. This has happened to CoD Advanced and Infinite Warfares, Battflefield, Dead Island, DR3 and so many others. Hell, even the original Borderlands and the Pre-Sequel both surged in popularity after BL3 dropped like a heavy turd in a deep pond.

The most nitpicky channel right after Connor Shaw. The sexism complaint on nearly every game on this game is stupid. Calling this game more bad than 4 is absurd. At least the third game improved on the game in smaller bits and innovated some mechanics; which you can't see in Dead Rising 4.

But I like the first 3 because they all improve and add things on top of, something which games nowadays don't do.

[@Darthmonk864]

I wouldnt personally say any of the dead rising games are masterpieces.1 and 2 are both dated and have a number of flaws I experienced in recent playthroughs of both. But I definitely think this is way too hard on this game. 1, 2 and 3 are all fun for different reasons. Theres almost certainly a valid reason that Steam currently has a mostly positive score for this game. Dead Rising 4 however is a whole other story. But i think the most egregious criticism is of the combo weapons. I can understand that if you just wanted a sense of desperation that the first game provided, then yeah 8 variations of a weapon is immersion breaking. But I think Dead Rising 2 was immensely popular for not being immersive. More content, to a majority of people, is not a bad thing. Id say most people loved the combo weapons of 2 and 3. Idk its hard for me to listen to this review and not feel like a majority of this is based off of seeing Dead Rising 1 as this hidden perfect gem and almost like a hipster viewpoint that everything that changed ruined the series. When arguably i think the majority of the playerbase would feel differently. Again, not saying dead rising 2 or 3 are perfect. But i think a lot of people enjoy them because theyre not DR1. I would highly recommend looking at the comments under a recent Kevduit video of the game or just read any of the steam reviews.

Capcom Vancouver is a really good example of Western subdivision which didn't understand basics (or intentionally tried to "adapt") vision of Capcom's products to new audience.

And in case of LP, it could've worked at least on some level if it was presented as additional prequel spin-off, not the next chapter in niche franchise.

Honestly,this game was too ambitious for it's own good. They laid out almost all the ideas without second thought,and tried to take all the pieces and finish the puzzle. Except,they were blindfolded and their fingers were broken. And they were spun in dozens of circles. Okay,I didn't really know where I was going with that. But I agree wholeheartedly with basically all your points. But there were times where I found the game fun. I went into it somewhat blind,not smelling the mostly burning garbage i've stumbled into. It was fun beating the shit out of zombies for me,and I enjoyed a couple of the boss fights. The game was filled to the brim with potential,but ended up being a wreck. One thing that I will NEVER get is how they made a DLC of the Commander. Yes,that one mini boss. Which you kill,with ease,no quotes,no cutscene,literally just an NPC with a bigger health bar. God that was ridiculous! Who in their right mind would be so interested in the random NPC with extra health that you shred,like almost all other bosses? Of course,this isn't actually part of the main game but worth mentioning. But moving on..I agree that Gary is the greatest part of this game. Almost every frame he was in the game was great,and I actually paid attention because he was a character done right. It's a shame he couldn't appear in any other games,or that one something something arcade DLC. But I don't really have much else to say,the game is that dry. All in all,the game was just executed poorly. I would give it a 5 or 6 out of 10. Good fun for a while but it's flaws start to clearly seep through the cracks. Imo,had the potential to be an extremely great title.

[@Dorkaxe]

Gary love is something I can get behind. Such a well voiced character. When he picks up the not-annie dead body, you can even hear him grunting as he squats. Just...that scene caught me by complete surprise by how ridiculously well-paced it was. As if some other director was behind it. Take that scene and the reveal about the neck tattoos with diego/nick at the museum, make something else with it, you may have something. I did see that the commander had a DLC or something, and I was very confused lmao so wait, was the order of events Dead Rising 3...THEN the commander DLC? How utterly bonkers. Truly an afterthought.

Oh snap, you are back with more game critique. Thank you for the hard work.

[@Kyokoxox]

Amazing Critique, IMO the biggest problem i have with dead rising 3 is how they completely shit on isabelas character and her core identity which is to help ppl. In the first game isabela and carlito started the willemette outbreak as revenge for the US government's involvement and coverup of the santa cabeza incident and its not until her meeting frank and seeing what her and her brother's actions have caused that she has a change of heart and actually helps frank with her medical expertise to assist others and share knowledge of the zombies and where they come from, stop her brothers plans of infecting the entire country, surpresses franks infection, which led to the eventual zombrex, made a zombie repellent that helped both frank and her get out of the mall alive, her assisting frank against brock. In the comics it picks off right where the first game ended off of and shows her being arrested and taken by DHS agents in front of frank. Years later, in case west it's revealed that isabela was franks source and that she was the one assisting him throughout the whole game, she also gave frank a flash drive that contained vital evidence of her research and possible evidence against phenotrans but it was destroyed. Throughout the whole interaction with frank in case west, it's clearly shown that isabela still cares and misses frank and doesn't have any ulterior motives or grudges towards frank for anything which makes her character in dead rising 3 feel so sudden, out of place and inconsistent with the isabela we knew for so long and speaking about dead rising 3... In dead rising 3 it was revealed that she and marion were the ones to cause and start the los perdidos outbreak in hopes of finding the cure(nick) and it's also shown of her destroying the evidence of the conversation of her and marion as well. Interestingly when Isabela is talking to marion about frank and chuck she genuinely seems very distrusting of them and even goes as far as to say that frank left her to die once?... I dont recall this ever being shown so idk if it's true, also, Idk if shes referring to her getting taken by DHS agents in front of frank as her being left to die or something else because they don't really clarify on why the sudden dislike towards frank and chuck. I can kinda see why capcom would turn isabela into a villian because if u think about it, she lost the only other family she had left, she was taken against her will and was basically forced to be phenotrans guinea pig for many many years, she was the only other main character to not be considered a hero in the public's eye because she was regarded as a terrorist and a horrible person, also the keyes family name was defamed.On one hand, one can argue that what happened to her is justified considering she and her brother did actually start the willemette outbreak and got thousands of ppl killed, but on the other hand she and carlito were just trying to find their own way of getting justice for all the people that died in santa cabeza and the fact that the US government was behind it all only further drove the grudge that isabela and carlito had for america to the extreme and in that case u start to understand more and more of where Isabela and carlito are coming from and that in the end isabela and carlito(as cruel and calculated as carlito was in the first game), they're both victims. Overall I think Isabela shouldn't have been in dead rising 3, instead they should make a whole dead rising game just focused on her and what she went through after the events of dead rising 1, it's honestly tragic how Isabela's story turned out as she hasn't been able to tell anyone the truth about what actually happened to her and santa cabeza because it's been explained that a few weeks after the willemette incident, frank tried to expose the pentagon and the US government for their involvement and coverup with the willemette outbreak and santa cabeza outbreak, but they apparently "buried" him and claimed he lacked sufficient evidence, which means that the government's repression of the truth was successful and thus no one besides, frank knows the actual truth about what happened in those outbreaks. I hope one day capcom will give Isabela the proper character development she deserves and make her the one to tell the world about what actually happened as I think that this would be the only way to redeem her character to the public's eye because as much as frank was considered a hero to willemette so was she.❤️

[@ZionSairin]

I definitely understand disliking this game for a lot of mistakes it makes, especially things like dumbing down survivor rescuing and combo weapons/vehicles and the roadblocks, but I feel like a lot of things you dislike came from the rush job this game was, with a lot of content being cut and rough edges. I wish we could get a “director’s cut” or something that stuck more to what they wanted. Fewer roadblocks, better quality on scene triggers and such, the cut ending put back in, and even some requisites for getting the best ending. If I remember correctly there’s no requirement whatsoever, you just *get* overtime unlike DR1 and 2.

[@Dorkaxe]

Nah overtime doesn't trigger if you don't save Rhonda. You can kill Gary and overtime mode won't happen. I complain about it in the video at one point lol. I'll say, after streaming the full game this past weekend, I've come away with a WORSE impression than this video demonstrates. Some complaints in here are nitpicky and some aren't argued like I would today, but wow, even the stuff I liked before is just meh. Look out for a DR3 related video in the next month or so, which I'll quickly re-review, or go over the main points of criticism I have for this game, before tackling the DLC.

[@ZionSairin]

@@Dorkaxe sick to see a reply, and thanks cause I forgot the exact trigger for overtime. Now that you mention it and I hit that pet of the video again, as for the whole “Rhonda and Gary being connected to the plane not working” detail, another video I saw says something like she needs to put the finishing touches on the plane still, and without that it doesn’t fully start up. It’s not about the knowledge of flying, just that she’s a mechanic and I may be misremembering again but I don’t think you can save her without Gary. I actually plan to replay the series myself over the next few days, this one on the higher difficulty included and 4 left out. Looking forward to seeing another video on it, regardless. You do make great points, and it comes off as someone who really cares about the series as a whole rather than someone who just wants to be negative about it.

D3 as a stand alone Zombie game is legitimately a cool, not great but fine enough game and this is enhanced greatly with a friend to play with. The DLC arcade is also great, especially with coop...

[@Vibrioidimp7]

I can understand a lot of your criticisms. Like, yeah, some of the combo weapons are pretty samey and the super combo weapons' variations can feel bloating, the blockades are frustrating, and Nick has very little agency in the story, but I do disagree with some of your points. The whole idea of the combo weapons' designs was that they weren't realistic, but they *were* logical. Like the electric rake from Dead Rising 2. Yeah, a leaf rake like that obviously couldn't conduct the electricity of a car battery like that, but you could see where the design was coming from. The same thing applies to combo vehicles. The rollerhawg seems unrealistic, yeah, but you can see how Nick could get the gears in his head turning with a design like that. That logic went right out the window with Dead Rising 4. God, I despise that game. As for the roll and Nick's lacking momentum, I think that was the whole idea. Yeah, it's jarring, but it requires you to make strategic use of the roll. I noticed in your footage that you tried to dodge Darlene by running, but I think what Capcom Vancouver intended for you to do was actually *roll* out of the way, since it covers more ground in a shorter time. You did say that it gets Nick moving faster after all. Personally, despite its flaws like a drab environment, lackluster story, and slightly neutered bosses, I thought this game was a grand old time, and I did admittedly enjoy it as a Dead Rising game. Not better than 1 or 2, but not bad to me. But hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
