Is it ____fun____?

If you've never played the previous games, or you have but don't care about the story or time limit stuff, then yes. Just don't get it at full price, wait until it's lower than $10-15

>>381952594
It was never fun

No it just takes everything the old games did before and makes them infinitely worse, 1 and 2 remain the best and arguably only good games

>>381952594
Imagine Dead Rising 1, but then remove everything you liked about the game. That's DR4.

>>381952594

It is meh.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUxJpDtg0Bs

nope, its shit

>>381952594
It's abysmal

>>381952594
y-y-yes

Its one of those titles that makes me relook at a previous title and go "Wow, this makes the previous game look less shit in comparison!"

I never thought I would say that about DR3, but here we are.

> Developer says they are taking Dead Rising back to it's roots
> Removes several key mechanics, as well as minor ones
> Replaces Frank's voice actor and changes his face

>>381952594
no, because LEL FRANK IS BACK LOOK, MEMES AND SELFIES xDD

>>381955851 See>>381953860 's video
Taking into account that the first deadrising was full of little details like the clocks always ticking and oving at real time, aggresive zombies at night and that everything could be used as a weapon.
The new team managed to screw over the survivor system, they said
>"you know when you rescue someone they just go poof and they're gone?", well we changed that and and now they drop something useful"
>survivors before had to be rescued and transported to the safe hoouse and they'll go to some random site in the safehouse after a cutscene
>Survivors now go poof and drop an axe or food
>after you get your le super exo suit you don't need a gun ever again
>food system is screwed and now they just fill healt and you can't store it, nor cook it

This game was honestly more of a chore than anything.

>>381957409

Honestly, i dont care for CrowbCat stuff, but this one is the exception. You can tell how little effort went into DR 4 just by that, the little details was always one of the best things about the games.

>>381952594
WEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL...

No, no it's not.

>>381958150
The video really showcases the budget of 4.

Capcom said they wanted to move to smaller budget games, and I have a feeling DR4 was the first of the lot. All of the changes they made, the watered down bosses, no co-op, not even having a day/night cycle, it's pretty obvious the budget was tiny.

And hell, the reason they didn't get Frank's VA back was because of the strike, meaning the game couldn't have been in development for that long before release.

>>All generic human enemies and the not-psychopaths are dressed in full-body costumes to hide the fact that the modelers are lazy shitheads.

fuck, this is super obvious in the multiplayer. I don't know why they included the photography there, trying to do one of those selfies makes it painfully obvious that only Frank's face can actually move.

>>381952754
>If you've never played the previous games, or you have but don't care about the story or time limit stuff, then yes.

I wouldn't say that. Even as a zombie game, others do it much, much better. Dying Light even has combo weapons.

>>381959003

Source on the devs shit talking the previous games? Didnt hear of that, although it is pretty believable.

>"I don't want to speak ill of anyone, but the writer we've had in the past was someone who had done some creative writing, was working at Capcom and wrote us a story. This time we got a proper video game designer/writer. Anyone, theoretically, can write a story, but writing a story that makes sense and that you can play, that's a real skill. Right down to getting behind why these characters are doing this, why would that guy snap and wear that stupid costume? Those are the sorts of questions we're asking. 90 percent of the consumers who play this game, they don't think as much as we do about these things, but for the 10 percent that do want that depth, we've got it."

this is the same game with a teleporting Santa boss and such golden lines as 'You guys are the hitlers of zombies!'

>>381953860
well this was depressing

>>381958887
But SFV released almost a year before it.

Why dont these story fag MUH CONTEXT idiots realize that this isn't what makes a game great?

Hollywood budgets for games were a mistake. Look at the state of where we are now. Dumbed down experiences for the sake of muh motivation.

>>381958889
>>381959003

Pretty much all of this, OP.

They stripped the soul from Dead Rising. I had a blast replaying DR2: OTR. Miles better than this pos.

>>381960331
You don't understand. The actual game has none of that shit. I wasn't joking about the teleporting santa boss.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7nJoNCXFEM

>>381952594
No.
The combat is braindead, the enemies are completely unthreatening, and the writing is horrifyingly awful.
It's living proof that Canada is where franchises go to die.

>>381960069
SFV is less no budget and more releasing a game a year before it's actually finished.

>>381959656

What do you mean, anon? Who needs boring losers like Adam, or Slappy, or Albert when we have memorable bosses such as the talking zombie in armor or Dude-Dressed-As-Santa?

>>381958889
>TJ Rotolo (voice of Frank) wasn't even contacted to do the project. The devs just wanted a new guy who'd do it for cheap.

Keep in mind Frank's new voice actor is Canadian. Let that sink in for a moment.

Good God, I'm sure as hell glad I didn't give in to my impulses and bought DR4 at full price. Nonetheless, I still feel slightly dirty for owning the game. I just wanted to see if it was tolerable, but it's so soulless...

I liked the zombie DLC but I wish it was longer

>>381958887
What gets me is that DR4 could have probably recycled the engine/items/combat from 3 and been fine and added in a few weapons here and there. Actively going in and removing shit just seems like even more effort then building on 3's items and engine.

>>381962739
DR2 was fun, those nips just need to keep leafs on a leach

Canada has a stupid law were only Canadians can voice act for games/cartoons made in Canada or something like that

You'd think I'd learn, but apparently I don't.

I didn't hate Brink as much as most people did, but I also didn't pay full price or get into the horrible standoff bottlenecks that apparently everyone got online.
