Angie Santiago of SpawnFirst reports: "Unfortunately for German fans of the Dead Rising series, Dead Rising 3 will not be released in their country. According to German gaming news site Gameswelt, the game was not well received by the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons and therefore was not granted the right to be sold. It is currently unknown why they denied the game’s release but one can assume that they may have found the game too gruesome for younger audiences. Microsoft had nothing to say regarding the issue."
The Dead Rising series has enjoyed a long and storied history over the years, but which game in the series is best?
Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.
Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...
Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁
Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.
They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.
They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.
This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.
VGChartz's Patrick Day-Childs: "2020 is upon us! The past decade has had some downs, like the influx of monetisation within full games, Blizzard's community backlash and EA winning the worst company in America award twice, but also some ups, like the leaps in understanding gaming from more mainstream companies to wholesome news like gamers helping preserve a controller signed by someone’s deceased mum.
The decade has also been the highlight of some… bizarre news, and I decided collect together some of the more obscure and quirky stories to make you giggle or question what the hell happened this decade."
Well, that sucks. If Germany wont take it, what are the chances that Australia will?
People who cant get it should be able to get their hands on it some how. Europe is pretty small, can't imagine shipping over the border costs too much.
To me... there is a bright side to this story. It means that DR3 is obviously too awesome for bureaucrats. Apparently dressing up as a giant lizard and slicing zombies into pieces with hook hands isn't wholesome enough for the perpetrators of the greatest wars in history.
....which means its gotta be bloody.... bloody!
probably too violent? i know germany has some pretty strict rules/laws on video game violence.
Couldn't you guys just import it?
Just a quick word to Germans who really want to play this, "Region Free" Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink.
Bloody hell it`s not supposed for younger audiences. When will those countries stop to babysit grown up people by telling them what they can and can`t buy?
