Eric Lecarde I think you mean confirmed kills lol, a soldier with multiple deaths isn’t very good :P
@@ZombieNationLTD sounds like the ultimate soldier to me, one that can die multiple times.
Bassmint hahah well If you look at it that way
he's covered wars, y'know
@@CornCarson makes sense he covered wars he knows how they fight that’s how he took down brock
I’m sad that they changed Frank’s voice actor for 4 but I love that he made a return as Birkin in RE2 remake.
He also reprised his role of Frank in Marvel vs Capcom
Really? He in RE2 remake? I might have to replay RE2 just to hear that. Thats really amazing.
Dead Rising 1 is still playable to this day. I wish they would remake it for current gen or make an ACTUALLY faithful followup.
When Birkin yelled _"G is my creation!"_ I thought that was Frank's voice. It had the exact same pitch and tone.
Huh. I’ve played RE2 remake a bunch and I didn’t even know that Birkin had Frank’s voice. The more you learn.
Peak RE and Peak DR are polar opposites in tone despite having the same ratio of comedy and drama. RE1-3 were silly apocalypses, taken completely seriously by their main characters. Zombie sharks, a big gray man in a trenchcoat and trilby, giant mutant plants and bugs, all played straight, because the main characters took them seriously.
Meanwhile Dead Rising is a very serious apocalypse. Everyone's dead, people have gone feral in response to seeing all the trauma, its horrible. But Frank doesn't give a solitary shit. Its a comedyhorror game because of the perspective Frank brings to it, despite the horror being more grounded than it is in RE.
Frank *HAS* covered wars, you know?
And that's why fans love Frank. He gets the absurdity of life and just doesn't give af. His sense of humor in the face of complete insanity is legendary.
It seemed to me frank took his situation pretty seriously in DR. A few wisecracks sure but frank never acted ridiculous or like he wasn't in a life or death situation. That was up to the player/psychopaths
@@jayh5840 Frank encouraged chaotic behavior, though. When you crossdress as, say, Chuck in DR2, he complains. When you do it as Frank, he checks himself out and enjoys it. Frank takes the time to take pictures. Sure, you can argue its "up to the player" but you can tell what a protagonist values through what the gameplay rewards. And Frank's gameplay rewards taking pictures of people suffering before you help them, and taking pictures of zombies with pies in their face. And he repeatedly made it clear his primary motivation (for the opening third of the game, anyway, before shit got Really Dramatic) was The Scoop. And even once he accepted he had to do something ethically, the scoop was still really up there in terms of his motivations.
@@DARE0451 yeah, he takes pictures intended to shock people and draw them in for the media. Just because there's an achievement for changing into every outfit doesn't mean running around in panties is what frank likes to do. Frank reacts the same no matter what outfit you change into. In every cutscene, frank was serious and only tried to get to the bottom of the incident even if his priority was the scoop
"There is a ton of reading material in this game."
Neat.
"But I bet Frank would love to listen to it on the go."
Wait- she isn't...
"Well- thanks to audible-!"
Well played Sphere Hunter....
Well played...
Yeah it was the smoothest transition I've ever heard
Oh good I hate reading so finally a app for me.
@@MARCOSHAK100 Smooth as her lovely voice. God damn.

I also skipped through the ads
Did you know Frank West has covered Wars?
I heard it was in the middle-east, before he went back to the western world!
You know
Fun fact. When I was 12 I saw a video of Dead Rising on the TV show The Electric Playground. I was blown away. When I was 13 I saw the game being displayed at a local rental store. I had to ask my dad If I could rent it. (The game and the console. Since we didn't have the money to buy an xbox 360.) He said no. It was too violent. When I was 14 I had the money and was allowed to rent it. But when I arrived to the rental store. The clerk told me the game had received Sun damage by a renter leaving it on top of his console in the sun.... When I was 15 I got my first job. I still didn't have enough money to buy an xbox 360. So I bought the game. I had to rent an xbox 360 every time I wanted to play it. I loved the game so much I rented an xbox for an entire month.
Hardcore!
I was around that age by my sister was a lot older then me and spoiled me when I really wanted a new console/game.
I wish renting consoles was still a thing tbh
This story touched my heart, tbh.
Very Zennial in essence /pos
I rented this from gamefly like 3 times. Used all my money to get a 360. I still play this game and have it on pc, ps4, and xbox 360 now. I got an xbox one just to play deadrising 3. Yeah like the best game series ever made. But the first is the best.
Oh my god that spit strategy for the final boss is brilliant. Amazing.
Hi clement
I just spam Double lariat and somersault kicks like the speed runners do
My strategy was jumping off and baiting him down then kicking and moving out of the way it was hard lol then doing the somersault kick.
@@Deadforge The speedrunner strat is to immidiately somersault kick him, to before he can block to stun him and then double lariat and bicycle kick to kill him
@Excrete S_A_N_D
Oh the easiest possible way to beat him is to go on the spot on the tank at a lower elevation and punch Brock's shins until he dies.
It's less than efficient though
You know your old when you still call the X-box 360 "Next gen"
I still can't figure which xbox is which...
I just call any unreleased consoles (or super duper PC stuff that I don't follow) next gen.
once it hits shelves and I buy it, it's current. I'm not playing next gen stuff. next gen it always the future lol
@@jakubmakalowski6428 one is the first one... the other isn't
To me the Nintendo 64 was next gen...
All of them are next gen consoles except for the first one... she called it next gen bcuz it's a game that was being developed for the NEXT gen console. Goofy

Yeah, Dead Rising is like the most weirdly charming jank game ever.
One thing it does very well is construct a sense of place.
Nahh
HadesWTF Right! It was one of those games where once you played it for long enough, you actually remembered your way around without having to use the map. Probably helps that there’s a lot of backtracking, but you really did get the feel of that place. As “jank” as it was 😂🤘🏻
I remember Dead Rising 2 being disappointing after realizing how short one of the late phases was.
@Ball Weevil The Forge Engine of DR 2-4 will forever be unsupported, But Dead Rising 1 still has it's main MT Framework architects in place.
@Ball Weevil Heh, DR2 is by far the best sequel (and imo on par with the original because it did improve the gameplay a lot and coop is crazy fun) but Fortune City doesn't hold a candle to Willamette, I didn't find it nearly as memorable (maybe because of how much bigger it is) and it doesn't really change during night time (which makes sense since it's like a big casino city), Willamette was colorful during daytime with that stupid catchy music and all, but during the night it was completely silent and dark af, none of the sequels really did that again (they either go for a really colorful look like DR2 or...gray like DR3) and I really think it's a shame
Lifeseeker’s “Gone Guru” still gives me PTSD. I swear, if I’m every in a public park and I hear that song, I will probably go insane.
I feel the same

PTSD? Whenever i see orange prison garbs and machine gun jeeps i think about how 5 swings of a lead pipe can somehow solve problems
Dead Rising 2 is arguably a "better" game with better AI and more responsive controls but I still can't help but love the first more. It's one of my all time favorite 7th gen games. The characters, the setting, the plot. I still pop it in to play even today.
Is like to see DR1 with some updates. Like a remake remaster.
Kinda random but, when I was younger I always thought Frank hurt his leg when he jumped out of the chopper and that's why he walks slow as balls and there was no run button in the game. d:
He walks like my grandfather. I swear he has some kind of back problem.
@@Shift_Salt Well, he seemed to get fixed in DR2:OTR so... Maybe Ol' Franky ages backwards? d:
@@seymourcawk2053 He actually stretches his back if you idle long enough. OTR gave him a ton of personality.

It’s a shame on how many people slept on deadrising, definitely a classic
Elijah then don’t abide by the limit. If you fail you can still explore the mall.
The time limit ruined it for many, but good news is they fixed it in Dead Rising 4! I highly recommend it as they've fixed all the problems this one had, including getting rid of that time limit!
@@krowman8458 Dead Rising 4 did not fix anything
@@krowman8458 Dead Rising 4 is a hunk of shit.
@@krowman8458 dead rising 4 is not a dead rising game lol
Yeah the convicts are pretty easy to kill once you get them stuck in a tree but I think it's just the intimidation that scares most players since they arrive when you're such a low level surrounded by a ton of zombies and with a survivor to rescue. Plus their song Gone Guru is just somehow a perfect weird theme for them.
Till this very day I still say “FAN-TASTIC!” Every time I take a picture.
"There is a ton of reading material in game."

Nikko The Idiot Especially for those who dare to tackle Infinite Mode.
Though much like the loading times, I’m told it’s a lot easier due to the rest mode on PS4 and suchlike.
Oliver Surpless really? It is?
flashergoldpower15 Yea, not only will the mode no longer freeze on Day 3 whenever visiting the food court, you can play at your leisure, rather than 14 hours straight if you want all the unlockables.
And given that most of the mode consists of just waiting for Frank’s health to drop from hunger (20ish minutes for a lvl 50 Frank) any break is good for your sanity...
yOU SOUNDED SO PROUD WHEN YOU MANAGED TO THROW THAT ADD IN THERE RELEVANTLY
I laughed out loud at that. "Frank can finally do that" sounds like she wants to laugh at her own tie-in, and I think that's great.
the timer in Dead Rising is one of the most japanese things in capcom games.
Dead Rising1 was amazing, maybe the best of all, I can't even forgive how they made the DeadRising4, it's so incomplete, and lacks of most of the features you just pointed out
Yeah, I feel the same way with DR4. Capcom Vancouver literally made DR4 the DmC: Devil May Cry of the Dead Rising series.
some of the failures that made DR4 claimed to have come up with features that appeared in DR3.
I love Dead Rising.
I love Suzi's voice.
I love Suzi talking Dead Rising. It's like a marriage made in Heaven.
Yeah, i also love suzi's videos
SIMP FIGHT SIMP FIGHT SIMP FIGHT 😂 jk
@@ellis3320 lol for the right girl I’ll gladly be king of the simps.
My thoughts exactly
As much as I love this series, I have one large complaint. How does an old lady manage to take down a fortified barricade while men attempt to stop her? That lady's either very strong, or those men are very weak.
Old ladies with dementia are some of the strongest people on the planet 😬😬😬
People also love their dogs, too. People have fought kangaroos, alligators, and even mountain lions and bears for their dogs. As dumb ass as she was for opening that barrier, I'm not surprised she found the adrenaline to do it. I thought the first thing at first when I first saw it, but nah it makes sense, in a way.
Remember to kill dumb people like that during the Zombie Apocalpyse
Remember, this is the same game where you can use toys and newspaper stands as weapons while also wearing a Lego head mask with children's clothing as a grown man.
@@tricksfollies9549 I can't believe you called the Servbot head a lego head, I am personally offended.
The best part about having to carry a survivor (piggyback or just lending a shoulder or even a hand) is that it makes you almost invulnerable: the physics engine adds the survivor's weight to Frank's weight, making it extremely easy to push back zombies before they can even attack you.

😊😊😊
I freaking love Dead Rising. It's too bad the series had to go the route it did, I think if they had kept the original Japanese developers the series would probably still be around today.
Capcom Vancouver did a fantastic job with Dead Rising 2. I don’t understand how it all went wrong.
@@jamesedleymusic Capcom Vancouver did 3 not 2.
Unfortunately the series was never popular in Japan that's why they decided to move it to the west.
@@wintersong2266 They were called Blue Castle Games when they made 2. Since they did such a good job, Capcom decided to rebrand them as Capcom Vancouver.
@@jamesedleymusic Dead Rising 2 was pretty much the beginning of everything wrong with Dead Rising today. The series progressively got more mindless and exaggerated.
I love how well researched and constructed your vids are and honestly, the first DR is still, in my opinion, the best in the franchise because it blended both the seriousness and the humor so well.
It also just has better characters. Psychos feel like people who just lost it in 1. Cliff incapsulates this perfectly. He’s not supposed to be entertaining he’s supposed to be sad. Every other game makes them cartoons for the sake of “wow zany wahoo adventure time am I right? You kids loved how silly these characters were right?”. I will give the second game credit for its analogies involving desensitization and corrupt big pharma exploiting people who need a medicine to survive for profits though. These things have aged depressingly well.
@@Neogears1312 As much as it sucked that "Dead Rising 4" took out the psychopaths, I think the one that best illustrates the problems with the psychos in 2 is the one in the chapel, trying to marry that woman. There's nothing sympathetic about him, and no indication that he was ever normal. He was always a creeper, from the very beginning. And the snipers, too. I've seen people like that in real life, unfortunately, but that doesn't mean I want to see them in video games! There's a difference between a person who snapped, and people who are just itching for an excuse to hunt people, and the zombie outbreak gives them the perfect scenario. I guess it's supposed to make them satisfying to kill, but meh.
PyramidHead316 to be fair that one is made to mock a real human being. You’re not supposed to sympathize with him. Slappy really sells this to me though, as he’s just Adam but then they decide “nah remember Stevens death that was funny. Slappy is comedic relief now” in 1 the convicts stayed the silly ones, jo was always the despicable one, Adam was the creepy one with tragic undertones, cliff was a broken man the snipers were an allegory for the problems with gun nuts etc. they didn’t just flip the script midway through so jo is actually a silly character.
It was lightning in a bottle with it being a whole new concept. Everything after that was trying to recreate 1 but they kept taking out things that made the 1st one great.

I've had one of the most fun in gaming playing Dead Rising
I remember playing it back in the day and just smiling. Just smiling big the whole time.
I see you in a lot of places.
Same, did everything in that game. Rescuing all survivors was one of the most fun i had while playing a game in general. Or the fun ways to break the game

"Thanks to Audible!"
oh, thank god!!
On a serious note, this channel is great. Well-researched topics with a relaxing voice and nicely done thumbnail art. It's all excellently done. Keep up the good work, Suzi!
I still love Dead Rising 1 even if I haven't played it in ages. I cared so much about playing it and seeing all it had that there's only two achievements I never got back on my original copy, the five and seven day survivor ones. It's one of those games that wouldn't get made today, and I mean in the "if someone took the concept and tried today, it'd be executed differently" sense. The timer especially wouldn't have made it through as it did, the first and second games were made into what they were by just how impactful the timer was, much like how the timer added pretty much nothing to the third game with how much leeway it gives. Love that you closed the video out with Justified, by the way.
Also, how I beat Adam at low levels? Pick up a bunch of pistols and keep your distance. Shoot the balloons he blows and then him when he's stunned. Makes the fight a breeze.
TJ Rotolo is also the only Frank West, there is no competition.
That was the smoothest transition to a sponsor I've ever seen
That one second clip of Aaron running into the counter at 10:54 just gave me war flashbacks to this game
Dead Rising 1 is the only game i will always play as much as it irritates and gives me anxiety, it's still one hell of a classic game of '06
Huh, that's strange. My adblocker failed to pick up on this one ad in the middle of the video that sounded like Sphere and everything. CZcams is learning...

So I just recently found your channel a few days ago and all I can say it, "Wow". Your reviews are fantastic, your editing is superb and you just seem like a rad person in all. This will definitely be possibly my favorite channel. Although I may not watch every video, as a huge RE fan I gotta say I'm extremely happy to see how smoothly you talk about the story and gameplay. A small thing that makes me smile is how when you're talking about something you really like about a certain game, we can tell you're smiling by the change of your tone. Thank you for being another awesome RE content creator, and I hope you make it huge!
I thought you’d liked the references to other Capcom games as Easter Eggs, like the restaurant called “Jill’s Sandwiches”.
Lmao I played DR before RE so I never realized that joke until now
Hayden G3
There a lot of references to other Capcom games in the Dead Rising franchise.
I forget. Has Suzi covered any wars?
Formless Odyssey the war against Umbrella!
The Sphere Hunter Ah, yes. The only war that truly matters!
Currently going through the whole series again, and am on my 3-rd (4th?) watch of this vid. I think its really amazing how you are able to explain why the game works, even making me realize some things i thought i hated about the game or atleast dislike are reasons why it works. Excellent vid.
Honestly this video means a lot to me because it got me back into dead rising after forgetting about for a while and it became one of my favorite series ever. Thanks Suzi
Whenever I saw gameplay of this game it filled me with this sense of curiosity that always intrigued me on how what it would feel like playing this game since it felt (sorry if this sounds cheesy) like something I've never seen before. I was really young when it came out in the good old days of 2006. As well as discovering the franchise a year ago and not having enough money to buy it. So, I'm happy to say that I'm getting it soon. So, I might finally be able to have a hands on experience with Dead Rising.
By the way, when I discovered both Dead Rising and your channel I've wondered how a video of yours on the game would be like. Glad to say, I finally found out. Thank You, Sphere Hunter.
Not cheesy at all. Before i owned dead rising way back when i saw gameplay of it and daydreamed all day about how it would play out. I was certain that we could explore the town proper lol.
I remember when my roommate used to play this on a CRT, and we couldn't read any of the text. Also, I think I could listen to Sphere Hunter talk about anything, and I would listen with my full attention.
Oh yeah, that text was so tiny
To this day, Dead Rising is the benchmark of small text. I played this on a CRT as well when it first came out
I'm so happy that you covered this game. I really loved this series. I remember when this game first came out I was so in awe with how many zombies were on screen at once.
Product placement placement was excellent!
Once again, great vid. Love the history lesson tied with your own perspective. Looking forward to the rest of the Dead Rising games if those vids are part of the plan!
“Adam is unbeatable at lower levels”
me who beat him at level 3:
It's a shame they absolutely destroyed this franchise with 4. Frank West is one of my favorite Capcom characters.
But on 4 his name is Hank East
Great video as usual. Dead Rising is one of my all time favorite series and I'm glad they went with a more light hearted tone for it. I also had no clue you could spit! Now I feel like I missed out!
You should totally do more videos like these!!
Going back a generation or two to look at what made certain games so unique for their time, is something you make genuinely entertaining.
Also, I’m surprised you never reviewed Cathrine:Full Body. I figured that would be your cup of tea.
If you’ve never played it, I highly recommend in doing so! I’d dig hearing your take on the game.
“I don’t want to spoil the game but..*spoils a part of a game*”
God I love this channel.
To be fair, dead rising has been out for a LONG time

Sorry if my comment came off as rude or that I was actually upset. The only thing I meant was I enjoy you genuine excitement for the game. saying you don’t want to spoil it while I just clicked on a video of you explaining the game and story makes me smile. Sorry again. I do actually like your videos.

Big oof
@@airbo5104 Oh no problem, I just thought you missed the timestamp.

Fantastic game overview! This is SO much more worth watching that about any 30-minute show on TV. Thank you for your hard work to put this together!
Sphere Hunter, I really enjoy your presentation in your videos. You speak with passion, and your points are very well thought out. The "trailers" at the end of your videos are some of my favorites, despite some of them being made already! It gets me excited to watch more of your stuff. Thanks for all the quality content.
I’ve played the ♾ mode in this game for so many hours!! I love it so much! It’s the only one I like tbh. I hated 2,3,4 for some reason. I also loved making my own difficulty in this game like Vegan only runs, melee only runs etc... so good!!!!
So you’re telling me that the virus is transmitted by...zombees?
Badumtssss get it? Zombies. Zom bees?
.......*cricket chirping*

The old rim shot. Easy there, Dangerfield. The world can only take so much humor all at once
Year late but the writers actually beat you to this pun lol. Apparently they wrote some in-universe research notes on the wasps at some point and put them up somewhere, and within them Dr. Barnaby remarks on his co-workers calling them zombees.
There’s just something so infectiously awesome about Dead Rising. Also the fact that Yoshinori Kawano pulled a Robert Rodriguez and went from Mega Man Legends to Dead Rising, it’s pretty cool and funny lol
Great video Suzie. We are eargerly awaiting the part 2 retrospective
"Heres a clip of me defeating the final boss with Frank's spit." Thas a power move right there. Odd flex but ok.
It's seems trivial now, but it really can't be overstated just how impressive it was at the time to have that many real time characters on screen at once.
I forgot how much Frank's buddy looked like Terry Crews!
Another great video. I really need to go back to DR. I miss this game.
Great video. I have very fond memories with this game.
We were 18 or 19 that summer, and my friend and I (RIP buddy) went to Gamestop. The dude behind the counter asks him "you guys want to pre-order Dead Rising? It's a game where you're trapped in a huge mall with zombies and everything is a weapon." He looks at me and back at him "hell yes I want to order Dead Rising!" We were not disappointed. The maniacal, side splitting laughter we had was priceless. Any time one or both of us had free time, we played it. I still remember when we had been playing it half an hour and he goes "are you hearing this dumbass music???" and we about died laughing. I also met my first real girlfriend that summer, and those memories among others comingle with this game for me.
I ended up completing it, which is honestly something I rarely do. Fully leveled, saved all the survivors at least once, and then uncovered the truth. It was so fun to go back thru with the Mega Buster and humiliate the bosses. Playing this, we finally red ringed his early Xbox 360 the following February.
Such good times with this game, so many memories. All I can do is smile at this.
Dead rising 1 is an amazing game! So many great memories playing this game.
Dead Rising is one of my favorite games of all time. The pure fun of murdering zombies in a mall, the crazy paychopaths, the tounge-in-cheek dialogue, and of course Frank West himself. I just love it so much.
You've been on fire lately! I actually never looked into Dead Rising because I didn't have a console to play it and honestly just thought it was, like you said, a silly zombie game where that showcased the tech of tons of NPCs on screen simultaneously. Learning that there is a compelling story and depth to be found is really cool, I'll have to play this some time!
Really looking forward to more from you, especially after that teaser!
The spoiler warning and time skip option was a great addition to this video. It addresses basically my ONLY qualm with your content. Keep up the great work!!
I haven’t even watched it yet but thank you so much for making a video of Dead Rising in 2019
I played the demo for this on the 360 back when I was like 9 years old. Always wanted to play it properly, but I never did. This review made me buy the PS4 version and I'm currently loving it. Thanks for this video!
So glad you covered this game - one of my personal favourites! Another great video, keep up the good work!
15:20 I actually loved how you brought up Audible cause I was not expecting that.
Just thought I'd stop by and say happy Halloween to you Suzi and to anybody who reads this comment, have a absolutely fantastic day.
you to
I remember when I first played this game I got my neck snapped by the final boss immediately, then accidentally clicked save. Meaning that was my ending as far as the game was concerned and there was nothing I could do about it haha.
I have good memories of this game. I remember this when it dropped. My dad was friends with the EB GAMES manager and we got it a week before it was released. He gave it to my dad in a black case with no artwork. I miss those days. All I play is old games. I have a hard time getting into a lot of these new triple a games that come out. I miss when full games were released. Now we all are free beta testers lol.
15:17 - This transition to the Audible plug caught me totally off guard and was so damn hilarious. Well done
I like to pretend Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is the only sequel to this game.
I've been playing "Dead Rising 2" recently, and I like Chuck's determination to keep Katey alive, but what gets me is that he doesn't defend himself! Everybody's insulting you left and right, Jesus Christ defend yourself man! He starts making quips later on, but it's almost like he feels he has to make them. Dark humor, but he's not really that kind of person. Frank doesn't put up with any bullshit, or at least much of it. I started playing "Off The Record" recently, after the frustration with some of Dead Rising 2's things, and the first thing Frank does is immediately kick the asses of the thugs TK sent after him!
@@PyramidHead316 I adore Frank West, the main reason I'm not a big fan of games past Off the Record is the lack of Frank West! It's like "Sure, he's cool, but he's no frank West"
'gone guru' will always give me anxiety
Gives me ptsd now
You just earned a sub and a bell for spitting the final boss to death. Seriously.. that gave me a hearty chuckle.
This video takes me back. I gave up on some tasks in this game. Getting all survivors, the population kill count, answering Otis every time. These all took a backseat to the struggle of trying to read the text on my old, standard-def CRT television, finding scantily clad zombies to photograph for the erotic PP bonus (which was absurdly amusing), and making zombies slip on cooking oil. Okay, those last two weren't a struggle, but playing this without HD was a squintfest.
The old lady with the dog initiating the onslaught of mall occupants was all too real for me and made my blood boil.
Great, I have all these great games on my to play list from this year and you've gone and convinced me to play this old classic from 2006
I sort of missed this generation of gaming. This video has convinced me to give Dead Rising a try. Thanks!~
I recall reading about this game when I was in 4th grade back when this game was released. I felt so spooked by the description and the setting of the game. Trapped in a mall for 3 days with loads of undead, nothing can be worse then that.
Man, I miss the days when things like this could invoke emotion of dread.
What a fantastic video! I love this game so much. The time element is actually one of the things I think makes it so great. Having to make decisions about what you want to do if you want to uncover the truth, not being able to do it all, when most open world games now let you take all the time you want, is still such a breath of fresh air.
Another great video. I love it! I remember getting a 360 and 5 games which included this along with Kane & Lynch, Halo 3, GTA IV, and Army of Two. While I spent a considerable amount of time with Halo 3, I played and replayed DR to death. Even after trying to get into the other games in my early library which included the revered GTA IV, I STILL came back to DR. Here was a game where I truly felt I could go anywhere and do anything.
Also worth noting, if you had a standard tube TV (which I had for the first few months that I owned a 360), you couldn't make out the text in the game which, outside of trying to figure out what ingredients made what drink, wasn't too much of an issue. That aside, the secondary attacks, the photo taking, the pick up virtually anything and use it as a weapon, the abilities you gained, the strategies if you wanted to save everyone (I managed to do this once) and the loads of zombies on screen, yeah, this game was awesome.
I played DR2 and...I dunno. It lost some magic with me. I think it was the whole combining weapons or the fact that I got the good ending in my first play through, it just didn't grab me as much. Not saying it was bad, but yeah. I still preferred the first one.
When you think about it, the first Dead Rising was basically a triple-A rouge-lite.
Damn straight, classic game.
Yes one of my favorite CZcamsrs and one of my favorite games also who remembers the smallchainsaw with the 3 books?
Once you get those, you're untouchable.
That smooth add transition though...oof. I'm in love...with...audible...of course. Really enjoyed the insight and content. Thanks.
In the beginning, I was one of these players that saw only the silly site of the game. I have fun memories playing it with my cousin and doing so many silly things to kill the zombies and never got around the story parts of the game. To hear that the Lvl-system is rewarding players the more they play is something cool and having so many quests is not my favorite part but I now understand why it was put into the game. Thanks for another great video and as for most of your videos, I will give this game another chance. Amazing work Sue and can´t wait for RE0 and Silent Hill videos.
It's amazing to see someone talk about this game. One of my favorites. Dont see enough positive talk about it because of the 4th game.
Im super glad im nit alone in feeling the bad AI adds to the experience.
When a survivor dies in a hoard of zombies it reminds me of zombie movies and that is amazing.
However once you get them to the roof that is when the immersion breaks a little bit, but the journey there is always awesome.
Frank west for smash bros
Check out Stipo
I once had one survivor die during escort
A cut scene started playing with him on the floor
Me: "oh good those helpful zombies will get him on his feet"
"Oh no they're biting him and stealing his pants!"
Simpson references always get a like from me.
I really enjoy your well in-depth analysis of these games . Even if I might not be interested in the game being talked about . You make it interesting and really fun as well easy to be as enthusiastic about it as you are . Seriously , you make amazing videos and I’m definitely subbing to see where you go from here . Keep up the amazing work! 👍🏻
About a week ago I started DR to 100% it then one of my favorite youtubers (you) uploads a great detail video on it. You have amazing taste :)
Oh god I LOVE the first dead rising.
I feel like no one I talk to "gets" this game. A game built on interaction as it's design goal, with over the top western caricatures for bosses. I spent soo much time playing this game when I first got my 360. Is the salmon method common for Carlito 1?
Ever thought about making a video on Silent Hill music? Most specifically, the ones involving Mary Elizabeth McGlynn?
I was hyped since you announced this video and god damn did you deliver! I hope you'll do the rest of the games too,I'm really interested to hear your take on them
I just found this channel but I'm already hooked. Can't wait for more content
