Dead Rising 3 - leaked on Steam DB

I am still enjoying the hell out of this, but I am finding that I have to play it in short bursts...It is a total one trick pony! Everything is basically the same. It desperately needed at least a few more mechanics to make gameplay a little more varied.

There are moments where it shows signs of being a really great game. Especially when exploring at night. Very atmospheric, creepy and occasionally a bit scary, but then it all degenerates in to mindless zombie-killing. I did the bit in the police station, and boy did that bit need something else, even just a rudimentary cover system would have made it 10x better!

Also, I have to say that they definitely overdid it with the crafting stuff.

Tbh, I would like to play a mode where there are no weapons lockers, you have to go somewhere like a workbench to craft stuff, and some of the more ridiculous items were taken out. It would be epic!

The General lady box with the robotic floor arms.

I can't beat those arms in time before the flames or zombies or the arm grabs me. I know I have found the trick to hitting the arm but the flames move too fast.

Such a rage inducing boss. I want to punch whoever made that so tedious in the face.

Its glitched badly on XB1/PC as well you have to move the arms by standing in front of the iron gate its meant to hit when you hit it with 1 energy bar left it will smash the iron gate you need to enter for the next section (there are 4 in all I think the last one if the boss battle).

I had to cheat in the end with a trainer but it was still glitched & hit or miss if you could get it to line up with the metal gate you needed it to smash in order to progress to the next section.

There are a lot of XB1 gamers who were also unhappy about it as the difficulty is insane hard especially if the arm hits the zombie carriage :rolleyes: as the flames also increase rapidly :(
 
Hmm what trainer did you use? I want to use it on that boss only. On a good note whatever update happened on the 9th has solved the crashing on exit issue as it now exits just fine.

Woo I guess.

I know patch#1 fixed the exit crash for everyone.

You need to buy a trainer on cheathappens they encrypt the trainers though so you need to buy on your own account they only cost a few quid. They are encrypted as well to your PC so you cannot share with others they will ban your account & revoke your trainers (all recent ones use an IP check before launching)!

Lol its not glitched,

The first arm jump on the box an throw items at the arm,

2nd arm as soon as the arm is next to the cargo carriage run towards it, it will grab you an slam you through the door(Kill all the zombies with melee weapon they drop hunks of meat).

3rd arm there's a thin box far side of building jump on that an do the same as arm 1.

After each arm is defeated keep run/jumping through flames grabbing weapons an food along the way, took 2 attempts to do.
 
Pretty much all of the psycho and boss battles are really poor gameplay-wise. Very console-like in a way. I hate the way you can hack at them with a sword and they just stand there... Doesn't even interrupt their attacks!
 
Wicked thanks. I must have attempted that bit 11 times. Granted I am low on ammo and I don't want to go back to the chapter start to collect and combine stuff again :o

I beat it just using a bonesaw and a sledgehammer I picked up earlier, didn't need anything else, just dodge when it's about to hit and smash it in the back.
 
Anyone playing DR3 who also played the original on X360?

I loved DR, easily my favourite 360 game, but I've just watched TotalBiscuit's DR3 review (he also loved the original DR), and he felt it was a departure from the soul of the series.

Would you guys agree? Should I just get the 360 out of the attic if I fancy a bit of DR action?
 
I enjoyed Dead Rising on Xbox 360.

I would't say it's that much of a departure. They've scaled it up so the play-area is a lot bigger and it's A LOT more generous with the time allowed to get to events before they expire.

Technically it's better as well. Literally 100's of zombies on screen at once.
 
One of the things he highlighted, which concerned me, was that it's now a bit too easy to deal with the zombies, partly because of the over-powered combo weapons. That, coupled with the new save system (unlike the sparse save areas in DR1) might take away the pressure/panic of dealing with the hoards. Getting from A to B in DR1 was often a challenge.

Maybe I should just buy it. If I don't like it, the 360 is always there still :)
 
This game is awesome imho. Only niggle is had to drop down to GeForce 335.23 Drivers to get it to stop crashing to desktop, runs really nice on single 780Ti @ 1440P with 335.23..

Rumor is Driver 343.91 or newer branch will fix Dead Rising 3 issues, should be out around the 18th..

Just completed the story. Took me 13 hours and I did a few of the side missions and a couple of the psychopaths.

I really enjoyed it. It fixed the problems I had with the first two games especially the saving system.

Once I found the lockers after chapter 5 and went around fully stocked with mini guns the game became a piece of cake although I did fail the very last mission because I kept getting lost.
