I hate this game. This game has stripped away everything that is great about the first two and it sucks so much ass.
The escorting missions no longer exist. Survivors just kinda hang around until they die for some reason. The time limit exists, but they give you so much time that you'd have to be actively trying to lose in order to ever see a Game Over from it. I don't see Dead Rising in this game at all, it just has zombies in it.
You would think that an expansion of the sandbox would open up possibilities for greatness, but it instead holds the game back. Every single inch of the map is littered with mid-tier weapons, you don't even have to explore to find anything in this game and I hate that. The cars are strategically placed to be in areas where the car you're already driving would explode, so that way you can just get into a new car immediately. Most of the playtime is driving back and forth down the same 3 highway ramps. Why?? It's like playing baby mode.
Exploration is shafted by the random roadblocks laid about everywhere. The combo weapons are egregious and you can simply duplicate the shit out of them using the safehouse lockers. The bosses are wildly unimaginative. I enjoy the callbacks to the rest of the series, but the plot points are so ridiculously stupid. Nick is the worst protagonist of the series. The missions require you to run across the city back and forth constantly while you get your dick mobbed by zombies left and right. Wow!! Isn't the Xbox One so cool!!!
It's an infuriating experience in single player, made even more infuriating in co-op. The game barely functions at all with a friend, constantly crashing and breaking the survivor AI.
It's a massive slogfest made entirely by people who complained about how difficult the other games were, so thanks for that guys. The identity of Dead Rising to me at this point is gone and I still haven't played 4, so don't mention it. Didn't play the DLC, don't care to.
