My experience with “Dead Rising 3” was a hard one to pin down. Even as I write this I’m not sure how to feel about it. I ran the full gamut of emotions during my play thru. I missed this game at the initial Xbox One launch and if I had played it then I might have a different opinion of it now. Today though, it just feels dated. It does some meaningful tweaks to the formula laid down by previous games. I also never really found the story and characters that interesting and while it does put most of its good qualities on the back-end I had sort of checked out by then. There was also one element to this game that always looked off-putting and that was the visuals. From an artistic standpoint this game is ugly and drab to look at. There’s so many technical hiccups and frame rate drops also. When it first released, the breadth of zombies on screen and an open world with no loading times was a technical marvel. Now it doesn’t impress at all. The Dead Rising goofiness is still here and when those moments happened I laughed, but I had too many push and pull moments in this game to have truly enjoyed myself.
