Dead Rising is the first in the series of Dead Rising third person action-adventure zombie games.

I bought it, after starting this project, because of one of the rules I set for myself that I wouldn't play a sequel to a game unless I'd played the predecessors.

Since I already owned Dead Rising 4 from a bundle (still unplayed), I decided I had to start at the beginning with Dead Rising, & bought it on special.

This rule was a mistake, as was buying this game. Changed the rule to add "if I own them".

It's not a bad game, per se. It's just that it was released almost 17 years ago, and is competing with zombie games like Dead Island and Dying Light.

It's got quite a lot of character in the main protagonist, Frank West, a photo journalist trapped in a mall full of zombies. However, his loping run feels frustratingly slow, and the zombies seem to be either ignoring you, or swarming you with little warning.

I got quite frustrated, but was slowly making progress, and then I died. Games in 2006 weren't really big on autosaving, something you don't miss until it's not there.

After more than 40 mins playtime, I found myself at the start of the game again, and quit.

Dead Rising has fallen to:

My regular Friday gaming chum and I have finished as much as we can stomach of #DeadRising 3 (it needs a Nightmare runthrough but we failed by running out of time at the very end and we can’t face trying again immediately), so we’re starting #MonsterHunter: World tonight!

I’ve only ever briefly played MH3 Ultimate on the #WiiU and it left me utterly baffled — hoping not to bounce off this one so readily! Any spoiler-free tips gratefully received.

I just want to talk about the #DeadRising series, especially the first two games. So many poor UI choices, creepy character design and odd bugs. They are hard games to love, and I cannot in good conscience recommend them to anyone without a passing interest in masochism.

But love them I do. I’m not sure if it’s the (effective) time loop mechanic, but they get their claws in deep and I feel bereft when it’s time to say goodbye.

@devid
Sí, això sembla. Potser el joc busque fer-li competència a #Capcom i el seu #DeadRising, en comptes de ser un títol de terror. A la setmana que ve ho sabrem :)!
