Can You Beat Dead Rising While Only Using Items Once?

Published 2022-09-17
Two videos in one year? I'm really growing as a creator or something.

Thanks for the support on getting this challenge idea off the ground, with that I've got a number of ideas for other Dead Rising challenges in the future I'm a little more confident in.

This is the longest video I've made so far, and I hope to keep it that way where possible. I might have to try and cut back on talking plot in future videos, since it'll probably get repetitive if I'm replaying a game as well as the length getting increased.

I hope you enjoy the video and I hope you're all doing well.

    What about a playthrough where every load zone you must drop all items and improvise your arsenal each new area. Example you might be in the food court with the uzi,a knife, and wine. When going to the park you must drop everything and only use what's in the park until you enter another area. Repeating the process.
  • It's absolutely criminal that this video only has a couple hundred views after (currently) 8 hours of the videos release. The amount of effort and editing that went into this video... It deserves YouTube's algorithm to make it a spotlight.

    I had zero idea you could get PP by spinning display racks. I swear, every video I learn something new about Dead Rising.
  • @BloodeeJacob
    Dead Rising is one of my favorite games of all time. This video was legendary lol
  • @Scraptive
    Seeing videos with this much effort, with so little views hurts me. I hope this blows up, you totally deserve it.
  • @sledathon
    Nice. Love a good dead rising challenge. I'm always looking for new ways to play. So far I've beaten 6 of the Dead Risings with 0 kills starting from fresh file. And I've beaten one at the lowest level you can.

    My experiences with Dead Rising Survivor AI as someone who always saves everyone: When saving the morons locked in the room next to Crislip's by Cliff, I have to remember to open both doors, otherwise one of them always gets stuck. Also, I have to give Rich the Machete because the other guy sucks ass with it for unknown reasons and Barbara just doesn't fucking use it. Sophie tends to run in the direction of the convicts. Apparently she wants death. Burt and Aaron love to get caught on 1 zombie, after plowing through multiple hordes by pushing. Pamela and Heather cannot leave by the toy store window, despite the fact that Pamela always enters from the toy store window if Frank does. Hand holding is useless 99% of the time, and should be replaced with the superior carrying. Ronald will only leave the restaurant if you break down the barricade, despite that sucking and being slower. Leah is aggressive as fuck despite being wounded, so leaving her anywhere safe to manage other survivors is near impossible despite her being a carryable survivor. Tip: leave her in the gym. Survivors can't activate the sliding doors by themselves. Just make sure you get her out of there if you're also managing Burt and Aaron. They love to chill in there even if you open the doors for them or break the windows. Tanya, despite her AI following Ross, constantly gets sidetracked uselessly pushing small groups of two to four zombies that aren't even in her path. Yuu and Shinji love death, as stated in this video. They will give single zombies a nice kiss on the cheek and love hordes even more. Taking Isabela to Carlito's hideout is torture since she insists on shooting any zombie within a 2 mile radius. Same with Brad after Carlito 1. The four survivors you save from Jo love to eat shit from the Small Chainsaw as they hug the shit out of Frank and constantly get caught by zombies. When they aren't hugging the shit out of Frank, they're busy getting stuck in doorways because they've never heard of courtesy before. Despite also being a psychopath who just had access to weapons, Paul is a moron who will die quicker than the survivors you save from him. If I wasn't saving everyone every playthrough, I'd only save him for the molotovs later. All of the survivors you save from the Hall family are worthless except the antique guy, who is only good because he is carryable. Everyone else loves to immediately walk into hordes of zombies despite the safe room being nearby. Thank Satan the top floor remains clear after killing the Halls. RIP Thomas. Kindell isn't good for anything besides shooting you in the back. You'd think having a shotgun would make him a good survivor. Alyssa loves to get stuck behind the gun store counter. All about that 2nd Amendment I guess. Also all three of the gun store survivors have the same issue as Kindell to a lesser degree. Kent hates being photographed, and will constantly kick zombies instead of doing his goddamn pose. He will also sometimes skip straight to another locale before you get the first picture. All of the survivors you save from Sean get slightly better with the Brainwashing book, and yet they still adore getting grabbed and also taking hits from the Small Chainsaw. Greg is annoying. Just tell us where the shortcut is, I don't want to follow you until you finally agree to join. Especially since you have no weapons and run directly into zombies when Frank is nearby. And finally, we've all seen this one. Getting a group of three or more survivors to get close enough to the vent to travel to the safe room takes far too long. They'd rather bump into each other than climb it seems.
  • It sad to say that I love dead rising 1 survivors, they just have some charm to them that the dead rising 2 survivors don’t have really, yes dead rising 1 survivors are very bad but I can handle them unlike in off the record where in that game it feels the survivors always get grab far away and since I’m too far away I can’t save them and they die all from one grabbing zombie. I have play dead rising 1 so much so I think I got use to the ai and escorting them has been easy for me besides from some survivors.

    Of course you drop a new video while I’m at work lmao. Least I’ve got something to look forward to when I get home. Cannot wait to see the video, happy to see a new upload!
  • @toddb7947
    Took me all day to get through it, but very solid video! The effort into the editing was apparent, I especially liked stuff disappearing and reappearing on the list after you reload. I’d be down with this in the second game too, but might be too easy. Maybe putting something in towards crafting could count as using the item? (Or no crafting/using each bench once?) Would also like to see all bosses if possible but maybe a big ask lol
  • @Beahemoth
    Loved the vid my man, really appreciating how much effort you put into these!

  • Man kudos for that challenge ! I might try it myself honestly im always looking for a new challenge on dr1 like beating the game without taking damage or with unarmed only ! I like that
  • @Draco064
    Really enjoyed the video. The layout for the items made the challenge easier to follow.
  • @IdiotAstro
    Just as I was running out of DR content to watch. Thank you 🙏
  • Haven't watched this yet, but can tell it's going to be a pure banger like your last videos!
  • @handydan6273
    Usually I’ll watch a little speedrun of DR. But this? This was interesting! Good stuff man👍🏼
  • @ezzy_bela
    Loved it, would like to see this in 2. The editing was very impressive!
  • God your channel is so underrated, your videos are so good! I watch them almost every night to help me fall asleep, they have just the right blend of comedy and insight into the games mechanics. I hope you get the following and growth your channel deserves! ❤
