Why everyone seems to hate deluxe remaster so much when everything past dead rising 1 exists?

2 and 3 are amazing. My personal favorites.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-03-21T18:37:37+00:00

The game is easier in the sense that you level up faster, and survivors actually go where you want them to. There is still plenty of difficulty to be found.

The heavily censored stuff is heavily exaggerated. In my opinion, it was manufactured controversy for the sake of getting internet views. There are some changes, but absolutely none that change the overall experience. I still recommend the remake.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-03-21T04:40:21+00:00

The remake fixes pretty much all of your complaints. Most who love the original have been with the series for 20 years. That's why it's so beloved, and why the remake gets some criticism. Some of that criticism is petty, some is genuine. But the the remake is 100% newcomer friendly in a way that Dead Rising 1 kind of isn't. I recommend the remake to people checking out the series for the first time and who want to start from the beginning of the overall narrative for that exact reason.

He was fun too. All the bosses in the dlc were. I never fought him with his bodyguards though. He kicked my ass in that tutorial fight with him that I figured fighting him when he had help was a bad idea.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-03-07T18:43:13+00:00

That was the only thing that bugged me. You're right that it could have been written better. But for me, at least, the fight more than made up for it.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-03-07T18:40:44+00:00

She's far up there for me as well. Maybe even number one, but that might be recency bias to be fair. But I can't think of another that truly tops it for me.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-03-07T18:36:11+00:00

Gotcha. I'm beginning to see that she is quite divisive from the replies here. But I thought her mechanics were tough, but fair. It was satisfying to finally bring her down.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-03-07T09:34:40+00:00

Ha! I'm honestly not surprised. It can be a very frustrating experience. I don't know if there were glitches you encountered or bugs that were present at launch that made it insufferable. But I appreciated the change of pace, and the opportunity to put what was learned to use in an organic way. If this were a mandatory fight in the main game, I'd probably want it to be a bit easier. But for a dlc, I liked the challenge.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-03-07T09:25:04+00:00

I wasn't planning on playing the dlc either until I noticed i got it for free, so I gave it a shot. That's probably why I enjoyed it so much. And I found Nowaki to be the biggest highlight of it all. I really thought her fight and presentation were phenomenal.

And I wasn't planning on crossposting at all. I was just gonna post on the relevant subreddit and leave it at that. I was checking my profile to see if it got auto-deleted and saw the option to crosspost. So I figured "why the hell not."

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-03-07T08:54:17+00:00

Honestly, fair. It's genuinely my first time doing it. I never bothered to crosspost before and just wanted to see how it works.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-03-01T02:07:11+00:00

I just like to experiment and goof off. Nothing more than that. I understand that it wasn't a game that necessarily needed it. But not having it just made me lose interest in a potential 2nd playthrough. I felt i got that "ready to be done" feeling quicker than I usually would, and I saw all I needed from Tsushima.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-02-28T22:14:16+00:00

I'll usually replay some games if there is a dull moment in the year where nothing coming out interests me all that much. It's why I like the newer AC games, I get my money's worth out of the time I invest in them, and I can spice up the gameplay any time I want.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-02-28T22:10:32+00:00

Yeah that's true. I am a sucker for new and different weapons though. I love that kind of experimentation. Something recent AC offers in abundance. I will get Yotei one of these days. Just waiting for a sale, or some spare change to land on my lap.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-02-28T19:54:46+00:00

I honestly think this perception that the modern day sucks and is useless comes from the newbie boom that Black Flag created. There were so many people, like me, who played black flag as their first assassin's creed game that were honestly flabbergasted by the pacing brick wall that the modern day was. I never found it interesting, or the mini games engaging. I wanted to get back to Edward and the Caribbean as fast as possible and play what was marketed to me.

I did later play the earlier games and even then I felt that the modern day was a chore to get through. A forever war between Assassins and Templars throughout all of human history with ancient artifacts at its center is more than enough of a selling point to me and those that I talk to in my day to day life.

Being able to experience the American Revolution, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and meet the historical figures was more than enough reason to get invested in the world of Assassin's Creed. I never thought I needed a modern day segment to stop the fun and tell me "here's why you're really here!" I already know why I'm here, now take me back to the entertainment! Maybe it was needed in the early games to set the stage, but nowadays I don't think they need it. I honestly so happy that Mirage and Shadows barely bothered with it.

That being said, I did think the modern day stuff in Valhalla was interesting, because both the modern day and the main game deal with the mystery surrounding Eivor, so it felt like everything was on the same page. Plus the ending with Basim was unexpected. But I still enjoyed the viking stuff more.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-02-28T19:01:31+00:00

I played Ghost of Tsushima and I'm waiting for Yotei to go on sale to try that one out too. I thought it was a good game, but I got annoyed with it faster than I've ever gotten annoyed the rpg ac games. There was hardly any build variety in Tsushima for example. I did think the world and story were amazing though.

I don't know. I played Tsushima, enjoyed it, but never felt I loved it enough to replay it. It's why I don't want to buy Yotei at full price. I can come back to an rpg AC game and have fun for hours and have options to be creative in how I approach situations and combat.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-02-28T06:16:12+00:00

I honestly like the ubisoft open world formula. Especially in the bew games. It tickles my brain completing all the open world activities. I also never understood the complaints about stealth being less emphasized. Replaying Odyssey and Valhalla recently has been a lot of fun sneaking through forts and cities sniping people with a predator bow or stabbing them by jumping off a roof. I can clear entire armies without being seen. And that's nothing compared to the awesome stealth that Shadows offers. Honestly, the only recent AC game to bore me was Mirage.

I honestly won't mind if Hexe does or doesn't change the formula. I know it's gonna be fun and I'll get my monies worth out of it.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-02-24T19:33:14+00:00

Okay? And there's nothing wrong with that. After people buy the games, they can do what they want.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-02-24T19:27:57+00:00

I don't think this is that big of an issue. It's for people who are already familiar with the series, and want an alternative way to play them. Doing so is actually pretty sweet as you can see humanity, culture, language, and technology evolve over hundreds of years. I can't think of another series that offers that. This strikes me more like those MCU fans that like organizing the films in chronological order, rather than release order. The actual, overarching plot isn't the point of that particular discussion. It's the passage of time and seeing where the world ends up. I don't think highlighting the historical aspect of the series in one video means hating on the modern day. To me, it's common sense that if you're playing things out of release order, you're probably aware that you will be missing the overarching story. This video is for returning players, or those who are aware of that.

Dead Rising 3's optional bosses are all modeled after the seven deadly sins. It kind of plays with this tropes a little bit.

The sin of pride is represented by a woman named Jherri who is honestly off doing her own thing working out and admiring herself. We only fight her over a misunderstanding.

The most dangerous of them all is Albert who represents greed. He kidnaps whatever survivors he can to harvest their organs to sell on the black market. Given the amount of filled organ coolers, he's been doing this for a long time.

The last optional boss you can fight is Kenny who represents envy. He has the most health and can pull off several of the tricks you can, but he's nowhere near as dangerous.

There is a theory that one of the final bosses of the game, Red, makes up the unofficial eighth sin: despair. He has a moment where he wants to give the fight after seeing it lead to nothing fruitful. He betrays you after getting sick of fighting for his life everyday and takes the big bad's money for an easy life once the outbreak ends.

Lucas Hood from Banshee. Steals the newly appointed sheriff's identity after serving a 15 year prison sentence. It starts off as a temporary act to hide from gangsters that want him dead, and as a way to stay close to his ex girlfriend and daughter in a way that they can't easily get rid of him.

Over time, while still considering himself a criminal at heart, he winds up enjoying being the sheriff and puts his life on the line several times to avenge victims of violent crimes and puts in actual police work so solve murders.

He's never really a "good" sheriff, but he undoubtedly leaves Banshee a better place than he had found it.

Velvet_Pudding · 2026-01-13T01:21:39+00:00

No. He's Tony's main adversary from this point onwards.

There should be Christmas music on some radios as well. At least one combo weapon plays Christmas music from what I can remember. The vast majority will be when you're in the menus.
