"Despite people’s concerns going into the game, Dead Rising 3 turned out to be an amazing game that kept a lot of the franchise’s beloved personality while also expanding the scope of the game. Our full review of Dead Rising 3 can be found here, but now that Capcom has released DLC for the game, what can fans expect? With the first piece of DLC, Operation Broken Eagle, already available for purchase, should fans of the game be ready to download it?"
Dead Rising 3 was one of the most attractive exclusives for the Xbox One at launch. It’s one of Capcom’s poster franchises and with a more serious edge, full HD graphics and Smartglass/Kinect support, there was a lot to get excited about. So the announcement of four-additional story-based episodes post-launch naturally enticed many zombie-slayers.
But is it worth the rather eye-wateringly extortionate asking price?
If this were to go on sale, I think it would be worth it...but it would have to be 50% or more.
Sadly there is a survival horror game in here that was dying to get out, and playing someone with a very limited set of tools while facing hordes of zombies in a flight-or-fight tone might have helped an otherwise bland extension of Dead Rising 3 ...
I gotta agree all 4 dlcs were pretty lack luster. Was not happy knowing I paid for this and got the dlcs I did. Nothing new added and stories were not interesting. Added nothing to an other wise great game
So far I've paid for 2 different season passes and haven't enjoyed the content at all. I think from now on, I'm not buying a season pass despite what game it is.
I feel like I missed the part where this became so ass backwards. Usually devs release demos to get us to buy, now we are buying before the game content is created. lol makes no sense!
Yep, it doesn't make any sense yet you people are buying it over and over again :P
I've yet to buy these because, based on what I've read about them (what they add and how short they are) the price is far too high.
As I loved Dead Rising 3, though, when the price of the DLC comes (way) down I will buy them. Until then, I shall pass.
Glad I passed up on this, loved the game... but I just had this feeling that the DLC would suck given the time frame it was supposed to come out in.
I feel as if so much effort and time was put into the actual game that the DLC was such an afterthought. The DLCs were terrible honestly, now I plowed through them to 100% the achievements but overall they offered nothing in terms of content or re playability.
"...I plowed through them to 100% the achievements but overall they offered nothing in terms of content or re playability."
This whole comment is at odds with itself.
It's new DLC, therefore it DOES add content.
Nothing in terms of replayability? And yet you admit you went back to PLAY DR3 time and time again to 100% the achievements.
Well yeah. But let me tell you the experience of just doing collectibles over and over again wasn't exactly mind blowing. I wanted to 100% Dead Rising simply because I enjoyed the game tremendously. The DLC was where it fell short, basically turned music on and just did it. Its OCD I wanted the 100% next to the games achievements. Doesn't make up for the fact it was a little annoying doing it.
PlayDevil has reviewed the first Dead Rising 3 DLC.
Here's a snippet:
"There’s some side missions, but hacking cameras and infecting the safe houses are basically hollow distractions to pad out the fact that there’s less than 2 hours of story to be had here. Having said that, the core mechanics are still fun enough that I did enjoy myself, just not as much as I hoped."
