NowGamer reviews Dead Rising 2 on Xbox 360 - "It might be trite to say it, but Dead Rising 2, like its predecessor, occupies that most precarious position of being the videogame equivalent of Marmite. The reasons behind its divisive splitting of opinion can even, if we’re being particularly sensitive of its development, be attributed to the perceived decline of the Japanese games industry."
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.
Some video game weapons are so outlandish they could never realistically be used, and that's why they're on our list of the 10 most impractical weapons in gaming.
7.9 is a good score, so stop the hate people, will get the PS3 version though some time later.
it is love or hate kind of game,..Some people really like this time management stuff,.. I got bored with first in about 3 hours,.. but will give it a try,.. but sometimes it is just fun to boot it up ,.. and bust some heads,..
I bought this game this morning. I have only played it for about 20 mins so far.
I can only speak for the ps3 version, but just to give everyone a heads up i can say that the amount of screen tearing is pretty horrendous. In fact it is by far the worst of the games in my collection for tearing, but so far the game itself is fun.
Oh i forgot the amount of bl00dy loading screens is a pain in the @rse.
I think that's the most horrible review pullquote I've ever read. "Divisive splitting of opinion"? Feck's sake.
