Revisiting Dead Rising 3 in 2018

After the atrocity that was Dead Rising 4, I figured it was time to give Dead Rising 3 another fair shot from beginning to end with all of its content.

Dead rising 3 is my second favorite game in the series. I found the boss fight much more fun when you fought them with your bare hands.

[@knoxangry]

[@THL_Jontae]

This was the first Xbox exclusive game I ever played, I really enjoyed it and it was a nice welcome into owning an xbox

[@09snowarrior]

This was a cool game but not having a fast travel system really got annoying half way through the game.

[@altaparks3627]

actually DR 2's canon ending is a mixture of both ending a and overtime so its probably something like Chuck saved Katey and Stacey but TK didn't die from the fall in the arena and made his way back to the safe house to kill chuck but turned in the elevator.

[@Ghenry]

Not really. The idea of a fault on the devs when it came to the scenario in the elevator starting off Case West is much more believable than Chuck killing TK at the TIR arena, going to the same rooftop, getting separated from Stacy and Katie the exact same way, just to see a TK zombie somehow make his all the way up there at the same pace. Nevermind the fact that a fall from that high can kill literally any man on impact. At the end of the day, you can say what you want, but they officially commented that A is canonical. To disbelieve official word for stories that are so simple is disillusion.

[@altaparks3627]

I think i heard the thing about the canonical ending being a mixture from an official source too but this was a couple years ago so i might be remembering wrong.

Remember Dead rising 4 never happened

[@Lucios1995]

What's the game at 13:08? Resident Evil 7?

[@ComfyBluePants]

Also, what's with that including RE4 gameplay video with the 'disappointing' sequel talk? RE4 is one of the best of the Resident Evil series.

[@Ghenry]

Maybe to you, but a lot of fans of the original formula were very disappointed in the simplicity and arcade style that RE4 offered. They felt it was a previse for what the franchise would become, which is to focus much less on the aspect of survival horror and strategy, and lean more towards action. And that's exactly what happened. RE4 is one of the best examples of this. If you listen to what I'm saying, the implication is that RE4 is a great game, but it's pretty obvious that something like that game and how it was designed was bound to disappoint people that were already fans of the franchise. Same cases for the other games in that portion.

[@HellaHoesFr]

Why, if I may ask.

[@Larry]

Great video Sir, I quite liked Dead Rising 3, it was essentially the Halo for the Xbox One launch line up, in in regards of no other games being available (unless you're into racing) it was an entertaining game. Only thing I didn't like is it was when they started to play down the psychos, like you said they needed a plot to why they went mad in game, and also REALLY needed a pumping boss tune that makes you feel you're in deep shit, Adam's theme in DR1, Jed's theme in DR:CZ and Chef Antonie's theme in DR2 were amazing tracks that I still listen to a decade later. DR3 had no memorable tunes and DR4 can go fuck itself.

[@Larry]

BTW if you're into games that were rushed into oblivion for the XB1's launch, you should check out Ryse: Son of Rome. That started out as a Kinect game!

[@PersonalAccountIndeed]

Lust Battle was pretty dank.

[@Ghenry]

Funny you mention that, I briefly bring up Ryse: Son of Rome in my previous video talking about a hidden PS2 gem known as 'Shadow of Rome', which was the precursor to Dead Rising, but also a really good game. Ryse was the only other game I've ever played with an ancient Rome setting, so I felt it was a relevant comparison. Ryse was indeed a boring mess.

[@Larry]

You're right Rome is a severely overlooked setting in video games, All I can think of are RTS titles and that bit at the end of Assassins Creed Origins. But, there were plans for a Call of Duty game set in ancient Rome (seriously) there's footage of it on KZbin.

Ok let's be honest, if i'd find zombie with goddamn bee hive on the head... i'd be scared even more than Nick :D

[@sheeshore]

The one thing I will disagree on is the "nick being scared" thing. He stops being scared of regular zombies as the game goes on, but every one of the examples you give is a situation where it makes total sense for him to be freaking out. (Hive Zombie, Military killing innocent survivors, bike gang)

[@nickelakon5369]

I'd also like to point out, Nick goes from a very half-hearted defense of his friends against the biker gang to rushing out to the defense of people he doesn't know against heavily armed soldiers, even if he still sounds a bit too whiney while doing it.

[@assassinkilla99]

Ik this is old, but an instance that I noticed was after beating the first psycho Nick is appalled when the guy kills himself. Then later on when he beats Jerri and she gets crushed he merely checks himself out and chuckles.

This was a very good video. I have played 2, 3 and .... sadly, also 4. The one thing I disagree with you is the locker part. Dead Rising is a beat-em-up game, me and my wife call DR3 "stress relief". In that light, having the locker room is actually incredible since we can just start the game, get whatever weapon we want at that time and run around town blowing shit up. I concede it would be better design to have it as a NG+ feature, but the mechanic itself is great IMO. Cheers!

[@slicedtopieces]

I ended up liking DR3 more than DR2. Having to recover medicine for your daughter was tedious, the zombies behaved stiffly, and the weapon combinations were limited. They basically fixed (or at least improved) a lot of the issues with DR2. DR3 had it's own problems: it was too easy in a lot of parts, the road blocks were pretty annoying, the weapons locker was OP (so much so that I played the game as if it didn't exist) but for the most part it was a ton of fun. And I don't really understand when people say DR3 doesn't feeling like a Dead Rising game. Was that just because you aren't in a mall type environment anymore? Everything else was basically there. Place overwhelmed by zombies, awesome zombie killing, wacky story, interesting world, ridiculous bosses.

[@gamingspens]

I think it didn’t feel like dead rising because the color were to dull, color schemes can evoke different feelings, The dull colors in this game give me more of a real zombie horror feel unlike the first two games which give me a wacky zombie comedy feel.

DR4 completely negated that with down right lazy NPC's they had the nerve to call "Maniacs". Great vid, btw. Glad I subscribed.

[@1gta4gta]

dead rising 3 beer*

[@DianaTaffie]

i think i have a better way of describing Dead Rising in alcohol. Dead Rising is a high quality, soul soothing and body refreshing glass of lager/ale/cider/whatever local brew. Dead Rising 2 is a good bottled beer you would buy in your local store, no better than previously described drinks, but still good and probably the best out of all you could buy. Dead Rising 3 is tequila, if you know what i mean. Plus, i think tequila also works here the best due to DR3's theme being "grindhouse" pretty much. Dead Rising 4 is a straight up distilled alcohol, or even medicinal alcohol.

[@notBrocker]

Cheers mate

[@mrjanoycresva]

DR4 is watered down, cheap booze sold at a high end price.

[@BillBilliamson]

Yea for all of Dead Rising 3's faults, there are plenty of redeeming qualities. Makes the state of "you know what" even more sad because of how close they were to making a really good dead rising sequel with 3. A sequel that takes all the advantages of 3 and improves on the essentials it fell flat on that original still strives would be the ultimate dead rising game .... can't wait for that to happen.

[@VeronicanPlay]

I appreciate games where you get the feeling time, dedication and passion was put into the project, even if the final product comes out a bit flawed. DR3 is not a great game, heck DR2/OTR are not great games. They were at least trying to honor the roots and expand on an already working formula. But when games like DR4 comes out, you start appreciating the little things.

Can i just say the soundtrack is on point in this video. Wasn't expecting ratchet and clank 2 music lol. I enjoyed Dead Rising 3, so much easier to convince friends to play with you due to the ease of combining items, grabbing stuff from the weapon locker, the lack of zones so you can both explore independently. Plus I definitely don't miss the random level up bonuses from the first two games where you hope to nab speed early on rather than on levels 42 and 49. I think I'll replay 2 a lot more than 3, but I wouldn't be upset if future Dead Rising games aspire to just be a better 3. And, you know, own up to that promise rather than just be 4.

Dead Rising logic: common special zombies only appear everywhere after you see them in cutscene

[@Deadsea_1993]

I like Dead Rising 3 and believe it is the last good Dead Rising game. Off the Record was the last great Dead Rising game. I thought the story was fantastic and second best in the series after the second game

[@WorldWidePatriots]

Same I agree with you completely. 2, then OTR, then 1.

[@Deadsea_1993]

@Paul Bell . Have to agree there. Well 2 had the best story of them all, but OTR was the better game lmao.

[@The_Crazy_Fire]

21:42 I think I'm gonna puke for seeing again this horrendous survivors from Dead Rising 4 and their ugly faces. Also they made me appreciate much more the previous survivors from Dead Rising 2 and even 1.

I can't here you over the fire can you speak up or turn the fire down

[@paulbell3682]

@GhenryPerez Fun fact: Nick was voiced by Andrew Lawrence, who also voiced T.J in seasons 2-6 of Recess.

[@nachos1162]

I always thought 3 was a good game, just suffered from some technical issues, and it felt way easier at times.

Dr3 Apocalypse edition IS 10€ on Sale , should i buy? Liked first Dr but hated 2

[@dumpsterking506]

Just because dead rising 4 is terribly flawed,has bad game play and story doesn’t mean you have to hate it

[@daveyishere55]

Then what should we do

[@mr.mysterious186]

@David Espinoza piss on it to show dominance

[@MrMasterSmasher]

Yeah I mean, it has good graphi- oh god no, but the music is... really bad and forgettable, but that doesn't matter anyway, since the sound effects and voice acting are... You know what? everything in DR4 is bad, actually. But you still shouldn't hate it! Hate leads to the dark side! So _loathe_ it instead, like I do!

[@PaulDozierZZoMBiE13]

I recently had a discussion with someone on the Dead Rising subreddit about Nick and DR3. I will say first that I am a fan of DR3. All of the critiques people have said regarding this game are warranted, but I'm still a fan and played it like crazy when it released. This is the reason I decided to go ahead and get an Xbox One when it was such a trainwreck upon launch. Having said all that, I think one of the reasons Nick didn't connect with people as well as did Frank or Chuck is that he seems like such a bumbling little pawn instead of a character with agency. Frank is self-determined while Chuck is a family man trying to keep his family safe. Those are classic male archetypal stories while Nick just seems to bumble from one adventure to another. He is almost always at the whims of other characters instead of driving his own plot. These things are fine of course, especially with a video game protagonist. But it's just not as compelling as characters like Frank and Chuck who are steeped in lionized classic male traits. End of the day, it's just easier for most men to relate to Frank's determination and even handedness or Chuck's willingness to do whatever it takes to keep Katy safe while he grieves for his lost wife. Even if we don't have the traits, most men want to have these traits. And these types of stories are time tested well worn story elements for male characters. Meanwhile Nick, even though he grows as a heroic character by the end, feels less memorable as a result. And again, I'd like to remind anyone who read this that I am actually a fan of DR3. Far more than most DR fans in most cases.

[@residentevil1fan]

Well said man. I always felt like why certain male characters are more remembered is because well - they fit certain tropes that men admire to fit in, or already are. So when you throw a wrench in that - you get Nick. Which again as you said isn't bad at all. He is the most human out of all the character's. He's scared, he reacts accordingly instead of having one liners at the start of his adventure. But like anyone, he does grow as a person. You gain more confidence, you're able to handle stressful situations better or having better ways to cope. Humor is one of them, it's one of the reasons Spiderman is very quippy. Projection will stand the test of time in characters in multimedia. Characters who we aspire to have similar traits and not the reality of who we are currently. It's classic writing.

[@spiritfreak1253]

Honestly I very much loved Nick. His reactions to experiencing a zombie outbreak feels real and its nice that he doesnt constantly act like some fearless macho man which is why I feel like hes the most relatable protagonist you play as in the series. Also as for the story, Dead Rising 2 is my favorite part of the story, the inclusion of a drug to stop the parasite from growing, the way phenotrans and the government gets involved with outbreaks exposing them, it's just a very enjoyable story

[@QMMarc]

Just done with this one and wanted to check out the videos again, I do actually found myself liking Nick and the cheesy romance at the end, when you talked about the horror still existing, here it seems like the horror exists through Nick, yeah it causes a bit of the feared Ludonarrative farts, it does make Nick different from the War covering wrestling hunk of man Frank and Chuck Eastwood, he's more empathetic towards people, he's not really a tough guy but he's willing to break through his fear and do the right thing, it's like, how would you feel if a man got stabbed by an obese lady in the middle of a zombie outbreak? not really fun times. Thing is that characters like this, the Reactive type, is a boring archetype for videogames, Frank and chuck where Proactive, they lead, they are leading manly men, Nick is reactive, he rather not be killing psychopaths or seeing people dying, he wants it all to end and stuff, he's very sentimental too, but, as much as that's interesting to me, it does make him a less compelling character to play as (And brings the whole LudoFarts issue), as a lead, it be weird, I like him, I think he's a cutie patootie but yeah, Proactive characters are way more fun to follow.

[@MASdestroyer]

That intro where you talk about what makes a disappointing and a bad game is very very true. I think Deadrising 3 is a good game but it’s no where near as good as 1 or 2 in my opinion. Another great video!

[@ComfyBluePants]

I think Dead Rising 1 gets too much credit. My favorite is still 2, and I feel like it did everyone a sequel should.

[@Ghenry]

Dead Rising 2 lacks the same kind of pace, playability, and charm DR1 has. Even something as simple as interacting with zombies in DR2 is a fraction of what it was like in 1, both in options and satisfaction. It's not easy to describe it in text, but I think it speaks for how significant a game can change when swapping engines. Dead Rising 2 is not such a simple step-up as people like to believe. It lost a lot of what made the original game so special.

[@koythomas6320]

The bosses in DR3 make alot of sense to me and I appreciate what they mean. I think they were meant to represent how people would actually react in a situation like this.

[@EnormousKingCrab]

I liked DR3, it was decent
