At least it's not the bike fight.

Played and enjoyed the original, but never touched the sequels.

Are any of them worth playing?

>>383007881

>>383008179
Dead Rising 2 is a worthy sequel.

The others are pretty bad

>>383008179
Admittedly it was because I was playing co-op with my friend who had moved away, but I loved the shit out of DR2.

DR2 lacks some of the odd charm that makes the original so special, but it makes up for it with gameplay improvements. DR3 and especially 4 gutted the games of what them unique.

I don't like how it frequently felt like the only way to beat a boss was to cheese them somehow. In particular I'm thinking of sniper rifle Carlito, and the convicts.

I also don't like how easy the game becomes when you gain access to the mini-chainsaws. I wish they were less durable, or did less damage

>>383008179

Two is good, the rest are garbage.

>>383008547
HE AIN'T MY BOY BUT THE BROTHER IS HEAVY

>>383008179
Everything pre-DR3 is okay, iirc

Dead Rising 3 is trash, and Dead Rising 4 is flaming shit

>>383008179
Dead Rising 2 is the only one worth playing.
It is the closest to the original in terms of gameplay, yet like >>383008551 it lacks the charm of the original.
The story kind of sucks as well, and you'll find caring for Katie to be chore.
Off the Record is a better version, but the story isn't canon if you care about that.
Avoid Dead Rising 3-4, they shouldn't exist in the first place.
>>383008626
>I also don't like how easy the game becomes when you gain access to the mini-chainsaws.
Just avoid using them.

I'm so fucking glad they finally ported Dead Rising to the PC. Finally, I can play Infinity mode in one long as sitting instead of having my 360 die of RROD like it did the first time I tried.

Dead rising 1 and 2 are fantastic, so is dead rising 2 off the record
Dead rising 3 was the beginning of the end, it's not complete shit but it strips out what made the series special
Dead rising 4 is an awful game with no redeeming qualities

>>383009103
>Just avoid using them.
I don't think there should be a weapon so powerful (and obtainable on your first playthrough) that you have to avoid picking it up to make the game more balanced

>>383005268
It's a fucking classic and I'll never understand why capcom handed it to incompetent leafs.

>>383009437
It probably was just an oversight when the developers made the magazine/book buffs.
Possibly they forgot that all those books they created all effected one weapon in an overpowered way.
I think that's a likely cause, because the mini chainsaw doesn't last long at all without even one book.
Regardless, if you're going into the game without any knowledge of it beforehand you'll more than likely never figure out how overpowered it is, much less where all the books are for it.

>>383009619
I think the idea is that they would still have oversight during development, and the leafs would do the grunt work. This worked out fairly well for Dead Rising 2, OTR, Bionic Commando, and Strider.

But when there's zero input from Capcom devs, we get stuff like DR3/4, Operation Raccoon City, and Lost Planet 3

>>383005268
The original is amazing, every single area is unique and has unique items.

The sequels are arcade junk.

>>383009867
>It probably was just an oversight

Pretty much this. They made the durability increase multaplicative instead of additive, so the triple durability boost just compounds on itself until it reaches retarded levels

its shit

>>383009867
>Regardless, if you're going into the game without any knowledge of it beforehand you'll more than likely never figure out how overpowered it is, much less where all the books are for it.
The game is designed to pretty much teach you this though. You don't only ever get to the clown once, you'll do it several times and if you explore at all you'll have found the bladed weapons and tools books during these playthroughs.

I guess it balances out with the books taking up three inventory slots, which is a lot on your first playthrough. But it's still a stupidly good weapon with even one book

>>383010154
What's your damage

>>383005268

I think when most people complain about casuals ruining a series it's a exaggeration but it's totally on point for the dead rising series. sequel by sequel they stripped out everything cool and ramped up the LOLZ WHACKY WEAPONS AND ZOMBIES factor to flanderization tier.

Which I think is why 2/OTR ended up as good as it did. All it fixed from the original game was survivor AI and multiple save slots. They didn't fucking change everything for the casuals.

>>383010919
The superpowered weapons were a change and they did begin playing the story less straight. It wasn't like flipping a switch and going straight from kids used as zombie bombs and 'Nam vets watching their granddaughters torn apart to DR4 wackiness but the games did start out with Extreme Sports Man and Frank West motorcycling and boxing through zombie game shows.

>>383011369
>The superpowered weapons were a change
But they had a fairly limited durability and you couldn't use books with them. It evened out nicely. More so than the near infinite mini chainsaws from DR1.
>and they did begin playing the story less straight
The story of DR1 wasn't played straight either. Sure a couple of the psychos were serious, but then you had ones like THIS IS MY STORE, and a literal retarded butcher.

>>383007458
fpbp
gameplay is outdated but miles ahead of everything after

I love Dead Rising 1. 2/OTR are fine but too zany for me.

Crosses the line from weird bargain bin cult action movie to a sequel too self aware for its own good.

Especially OTR, since they aged Frank like 35 years in what I think was supposed to be 5-10. Really gave the game that feel.

>>383011845
Limited durability but you were never ever very far from being able to just craft another op weapon.
Those phsychos were on the far edge of believability but they were hanging on to it, tenuously, by their fingertips. It's the difference between someone snapping and acting silly and just straight silly stuff. DR 1 was great because they did play it straight. You have the insanity of the gameplay mixed with the seriousness of the story which you could experience in cutscenes while wearing little boy shortpants and a lego head helmet. 2 and OTR were still pretty much there but they had taking a few steps down the path towards the entire thing being MC's wacky zombie killing adventures.

First is a classic
Second is a great follow up, and proof that DR is not a one hit Wonder
Third had very mixed reception, but I loved it. A good end to the trilogy, whetever you like it or not, and finally gave us the open world DR game, turning up everything to 11, while sacrificing difficulty and story/characters in the process
Fourth, I think I will let the picture speak for itself

>>383005268
DR1 is probably the best zombie game period

>>383012387
>DR4 Isabella
Was she in DR4? It had so little characters and story, I think frank was the only one returning. Oh, and barnaby

>>383012203
Frank was already mid-30s in DR1. What he looks like in OTR is totally reasonable seeing as Frank didn't take care of himself at all after, hit rock bottom and is now in his 40's.

And like I said, I don't think DR3 was bad. It was still fun to play, even with the difficulty being non-existent

Problem is that Pic related turned DR4 into a normie game by completely stripping away everything that made DR Dead Rising, and turned it into a Ubisoft Sandbox game 101. Even DR3 was still DR at the end of the day

Play DR1 and DR2 afterwards. You get a little prologue/epilogue DLC if you play on 360

Is Case zero good? such a shame it is xbox 360 only.

Yeah. Something charming about a bite-sized Dead Rising experience.

>>383013878
It's good, but if you already have/played DR2 in any form it's not worth getting.
It's just a demo after all.

>>383013310
Still waiting for the moment Dead Rising 5 is announced. Clips of 4 is being played until the Frank we all know and love wakes up, his original VA saying "Wow, what a nightmare."

Or him exiting a movie theater saying it could've been better.

My first DR game. Best still, atmosphere wise. You basically get to play in a tiny nevada town and look for motorcycle parts, there are 3 survivors you can optionally rescue, limited combo weapons(introduction for people playing DR 2 right after it), and even a psychopath at the end. The whole game is only one half of a day long, that's about 2 hours real game time. Pretty fun, but if you don't have a 360, I would just watch it

>>383014126
The series is over, anon. Accept it now and move on.

>>383013134
These were completely pointless. Zombies could still stun you and have that retarded health drain going, and the zombies barely reacted to a car being kicked into them. Extreme low effort went into these things.

I also can't believe the reason for the outbreak and final boss in 4 was just "someone decided to wear his robot suit to the lab that day :)"

>>383014126
They already groomed that annoying hipster chick to be the next protagonist. Next game will have a strong, independent asian woman as a protagonist. They will most likely remove the clothing features, so everyone doesn't run around in a bikini, we can't have FUCKING WHITE MALES having fun, after all!

Dead rising 4 only happened because they needed the money. It's nothing more than shovelware. Hell, the producer is known for making shitty shovelware games for normies, nothing surprising about that

Something I really liked about DR1 was how nicely zombies interacted with other zombies/physics objects. Like kicking a park bench into a crowd of zombies caused them to all get knocked back realistically, and Frank even had a 'stubbing his toe' animation.
