Dead Rising (both the original and the series as a whole) are known for a lot of things. From everything being a weapon, to having mystery stories instead of survival stories, to using blenders to make mix drinks, to the future entries allowing for combo weapons and vehicles.

    I KNEW IT, I knew kendall preformed differently, he followed super close and had amazing cover fire
  • I beat dead rising when I was a kid and got the true ending, and when I went back as an adult I was actually the guy who did zombie genocider first because I really just wanted the mega buster. Yeah I know about the triple book chainsaw and the mannequin torso but that’s not what it was about!

    Fantastic nice to see the community’s still kicking after all these years. Legendary game. Nice music choice too
  • The fact you used the Home Depot theme for the engineering book Chef's kiss

    Very fun and entertaining video! Love these kinds of niche Dead Rising vids

    My favourite book is world news due to how I always try to save everyone each playthrough and it’s PP boost just makes the best source for PP even better followed by engineering as the 4X4 and lead pipe are the weapons I use the most when I’m not using the chainsaw followed by criminal biography for how common blades all and an honourable mention for cooking as quickstep is my favourite mixed drink and it’s time spawn is extremely short without the book

    Hey man, I enjoyed the video. You actually inspired me to do my first-ever tier list video, which is about the DR1 survivors.
  • Using the thps2 menu music for the skateboarding section was a great touch

    Love the content man! Can you do a vid on the survivors and their traits and what they entail?

    Credits: RE7 Footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb73ioUJaIg Fallout 4 Footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuRVVARGwFQ God Of War PS2 Footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8mXnvkGwXk Tie-in article where I go over what I'd change about the books in this game and what books I'd add to the original Dead Rising. squiddude.wordpress.com/2022/05/01/dead-rising-boo… Mistakes: "This" was misspelled as "thsi". Oops. Some of the durability values are hard to figure out. The weapons kart might not last 300 hits, but I can't find any information on it's exact durability. I am confident it will outlast the white sedan with the book, though. Fun Fact: I was going to have Peter Griffin laugh when I said "PP" during the section talking about the Horror Novels. I realized how annoying that'd get, and figured just say "PP" over and over was funny enough as it is. Future videos will have a proper ending sequence. I just wasn't happy with any of my attempts with one, as it was either too long (to where I feel the video was better without it) or too short (to the point it felt unneeded). This video was sponsored by caffeine, but it's probably what kept me alive during the editing process.
  • I know I'm 2 years late but fantastic video my guy. You've got a sub from me.

    I definitely want to try the game now, you made it look so fun

    31:11 never seen that animation before still learning about this game all these years later
  • New game advice for players: Do the zombie genocider first with both zombie xp books to get to around level 36/37(probably higher) and get any ending to unlock the real mega buster. Second playthrough get the world news book for additional xp relating to survivors and try to save all 50 of them, give survivors shotguns and uzis over any other weapon as they will have a good crowd control weapon when they're in groups(shotguns in particular are extremely useful I had about 4 survivors in my group with shotguns and they cleared Al fresca plaza for me they're more likely to shoot at zombies when you are close to them and stationary you can only get 3 shotguns on the map at any time and all 3 are in the gun shop but you can get 5 if you pick up the shotgun in the intro when the survivor Brian dies and one from kindell if he dies), always have at least 2 Queens on you in case survivors get overwhelmed and the bosses can be killed really quickly using the mega buster. Don't pick up the brainwashing tips book it makes survivors too aggressive and jump headfirst into a horde instead try keep them all together with shotguns and uzis, I prefer to use the engineering book with the sledgehammer to clear entire hordes instead of the triple chainsaw as I have more inventory space left as opposed to having to carry 3 books and a weapon when I can just carry 1 book and weapon. Unlock the wonderland plaza shortcut and use it as much as possible, this helps avoid fighting the convicts when escorting survivors but you can kill them with 1 shot with the mega buster if you want. Avoid Al fresca plaza at all costs when escorting survivors as it is too densely packed with zombies, the same goes for the North plaza. Hope this helps

    This was a good vid I really enjoyed it
