Dead Rising 3

"The final nail in this game’s coffin is that it’s an Xbox One exclusive. What a terrible way to kick a franchise to the curb. You need the Kinect to attract zombies by shouting. You also need a Kinect to change your outfit back to what you were wearing before you picked up that welder’s mask. Don’t have a Kinect? Well, that didn’t seem to occur to anyone making this game. The interface is dotted with dopey microphone icons where you’re supposed to read commands out loud because, god knows, it would be far too inconvenient to press a button on the controller you’re already holding."

I cant imagine its that bad. i enjoyed dr2, heard mostly good reviews for 3. Didnt know kinect was in it. I hate kinect.

admiralvic4344d ago

"I cant imagine its that bad."

You have to understand that Quarter to Three is not an objective review outlet* and all reviews are done subjectively. So when they say something is a 2/5, they're actually saying it only okay in terms of fun and nothing more.

* Still don't know why Metacritic allows this site on their listing.

alexkoepp4344d ago

There is a simple option to turn off kinect in the game. It's too bad this guy is such an idiot that he couldn't find it.

Game is super fun, sounds like a butthurt -$ony fanboy to me.

Pfft! pressing buttons and using a controller, pfft, so last gen!

/s

Now please don't kill me for joking guys. Runs and hides.

And alexkoepp, please give your constant fanboyism a rest man, not everybody who isn't in love with MS, (your lord and savior) is a Sony fanboy.

@ Alexkoepp

"sounds like a butthurt $ony fanboy to me."

If there is ANYONE on the planet immune to being called a Sony fanboy, it would be Tom Chick. Want proof? Scroll ALLLLL the way to the bottom of the Metacritic listing for The Last of Us ( http://www.metacritic.com/g... ) and you'll see Quarter to Three's review by Tom Chick with a score of 3/5 or 6/10. Anyway, it's fairly standard for him and really this site. I would argue about it, but like I said these reviews are subjective and scores are based off enjoyment, which takes away most of the creditability.

mcarsehat4343d ago

I don't know how metacritic is still seen as an authority (anything below 59% is seen as bad.) If the algorithm doesn't make sense, the website doesn't.

mikeslemonade4343d ago

Sony Fanboy and butthurt is like a oxymoron. How can you be butthurt if you are winning the console war??

coolbeans4343d ago

Even terms like "objective" keep getting skewed by this community. Resting sole emphasis on overall enjoyment of a game when giving a formal evaluation shouldn't majorly detract from one's credibility. Determining a different procedure as not only being lesser but somehow now not legitimate as a review seems arbitrary and snobbish.

It is just a particularly dumb article. You can disable kinect functionality in the options and it replaces it all with button prompts. It also defaults to button prompts if you unplug the kinect, or even if the kinect can't see you.

It is also due for release on PC in the very near future.

illty4344d ago

dead rising is fun for like 5-10mins when you play it.
and wtf i am reading at the article:
>The final nail in this game’s coffin is that it’s an Xbox One exclusive.
its on PC too in 2 months.

Brim4344d ago

well the funny thing is DR3 was the best next gen game until TF came out ... IMO it was better then Infamous... idk what people are looking for when they play games but graphics alone do not make a game a 10 ... then DR3 added the coop feature that made it 10x better ... only problem was boss battles were to easy but the game was amazing idk what u guys played ...

Oagoz4344d ago

Hehe, Titanfall. That game died in 1 week.

Kribwalker4344d ago

^^^^this guy. Titanfall on x1 is still top 5 individual formats chart for uk, 4 months later. Infamous isn't even top 20 anymore

Anyways, dead rising 3 is a total blast. I'm about to pick up that crazy add on they announced at E3. By far it was my favorite launch game. Played it for hours on end running down 100's of zombies in a row with my steamroller bike. If you haven't gotten it on X1 but have a decent PC definitely pick it up. You won't be disapointed

maniacmayhem4344d ago

Was this a satire review?

"The first and greatest mistake in Dead Rising 3 is that it all but removes the survival horror aspect."

BobBelcher4344d ago

Man I tell you- when boredom and the internet clash- it produces some really ridiculous material... One of which is this piece of garbage. "nail in the coffin" lol.

Bathyj4344d ago

Ugh, this guy. Why does he still have a job?

I dont even know if he has any legitimate point because after a couple paragraphs of reading his whining, negative tone I decided I dont care what he thinks. About anything.

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

ocelot07284d ago

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

Christopher284d ago

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

TheColbertinator284d ago

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

monkey602284d ago

It's not even the best one 🤨

ocelot07284d 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.

MetroidFREAK21284d 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...

Darksonic222119d ago

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

InklingGirl2119d ago

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

2118d ago
MadLad2119d ago

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

Darksonic222119d 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.

ColdSin2119d ago

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

darthv722119d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad2119d ago

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

RamRod882119d 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.

DeadManMMX2119d 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.

Gamerking822119d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18892119d ago

haha yes it may....good one.
