These time limits took the joy away from dead rising FOR ME, from the start, i hated these time limits in dead rising.

don't know if dead rising 3 still has them???

KingJulian4531d ago

There is some sort of time limit. It's kind of confusing how it works

Anon19744531d ago

I couldn't agree more. I remember how excited I was to get my pre-ordered copy of Dead Rising. It seemed right up my alley. Then I started to play. Timed mission, then another..then another and I just couldn't believe the entire game was just timed missions. What was worse is there wasn't ever time to do them all. They probably thought this added re-playability but to me, finishing one mission only to fail two others just made it feel like I'd accomplished nothing.

Add to that the ridiculous choice to have the player slog through 15 minutes of zombies just to reach a save point. When I need to save and quit, I need to save my game now..not 15-20 minutes from now.

I put Dead Rising on the shelf because I felt maybe I just wasn't in the mood. I really should have loved it, I kept telling myself. Every few months I'd take it down and try to get into it again and I just never could. I just couldn't do it. The odd timed mission is an annoyance. A complete game based on timed missions? Not for me.

I absolutely hated the time limits on the first two Dead Risings, but DR3 isn't bad at all.

In the first two, you had to do everything in one run if you wanted to experience everything.

In DR3, you don't have to do everything your first playthrough even though it is a lot easier to do everything in your first run (sans collectibles) than the first two were.

The reason you don't have to do everything on the first playthrough is that your progress is stored from your previous playthrough. So if you had half the blueprints and only did a few side missions your first time, the second time you play you could do other side missions and get the remaining blueprints you missed.

It has a lot more leniency for causing random mayhem.

GREAT GAME!

Not always. Sometimes, they instill a sense of urgency, which can make for a nice change of pace.

KingJulian4530d ago

I totally understand where you are coming from

Rhezin4531d ago

agreed, FRAKISTAN. It would have been perfect if we could take our time killing zombies and saving ALL those meathead people from dying. Yeah I wonder if Dead Rising 3 did away with all that timed crapola.

This really needs a re-release. Enjoyed all 4 games with 3 probably being my second favourite.

ocelot07314d ago

It once was. But the recent DR1 remake took that spot.

It's 2013! I'm on my Xbox One and streaming from my laptop to my chromecast! Life couldn't be better!

TheColbertinator313d ago

Now I can stream my Xbox One from my TV to my phone to my tablet while I'm inside my refrigerator.

monkey602314d ago

It's not even the best one 🤨

ocelot07314d ago

Surprised this didn't get a Series S/X boost. I believe it's still locked to 30fps. Then again so is the PC version until you go into the .ini file and change it.

MetroidFREAK21314d ago

Genuinely surprised this still hasn't been ported

What Happened To The Dead Rising Series?

Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.

Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...

Darksonic222148d ago

Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁

InklingGirl2148d ago

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title.

MadLad2148d ago

Complacency and new teams who didn't understand what made the series special.

Darksonic222148d ago

Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.

ColdSin2148d ago

DR4 should have not been made anyways. DR3 closed everything nicely.

darthv722148d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad2148d ago

They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.

RamRod882148d ago

They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.

DeadManMMX2148d ago

This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.

Gamerking822148d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18892148d ago

haha yes it may....good one.
