These Video Game Sequels Suck!

3. Dead Rising 4

And speaking of phoned in crap that makes you do a rage sick, Dead Rising 4.

Where Dead Rising 2 remains one of the finest zombie-slayers of all time, DR4 dropped the undead ball and set it on fire.

To begin with, both games contain Frank, so that’s a plus, HOWEVER Dead Rising 4 replaced the voice actor for no reason.

Next, gameplay did away with all the colourful boss encounters because the developers were too lazy to think up a theme to connect them all, and now we get NPCs with next to no reason to remember them using weapons that you can make yourself. Bad Move.

Then consider the game's plots. One had an over the top tale about Frank seeking redemption and fame by whatever means, and the other ...well it tries to tell kinda the same tale, but with a needless amount of grit and po faced moaning making it feel like tonal opposites to it’s gameplay. BAD MOVE.

And finally, and this always puts the crinkle in my pickle, Dead Rising 4 screamed its very loud, on the nose message about Christmas consumerism… while at the same time being sold at Christmas. The sheer irony of telling people they buy too much crap when your game is literally full of it, baffles my bonce.

Bad. MOVE.
