Dead Rising 2 Vs Dead Rising 3

[Jtbrig7390]

What one would you guys say is better and worth having. Also is Off the record worth it for DR2?

Also does Dead Rising 2 still use GFWL if so I am passing on it.

I would recommend DR2. I haven't played off the record yet despite buying it. It is stable and does not need GFWL. I have an i5 3570k and gtx 770 and can run it smoothly.

Cool. I keep getting told to get DR2-OTR. I think I'm going to get DR3 since I don't have a XB1 and buy DR2/DR2-OTR on ps3.

I am kinda wanting to get games on my PC I can't get on the consoles I own :) This looks fun. Has there been any improvements to the uncap 60fps.

My PC Is.
i5-4790k
8gig ram
GTX 970 4gig windforced "aka oced"

I can be more detailed if need be just being lazy lol.

If you pc can handle it and this is your first game of the series, DR3... If you played the first game a LOT and loved it, DR2. OTR isn't really necessary.

Well, it's an hard question as both have their perk and downside.

DR2 is really great in general, but the environment gets somewhat limited/boring after a couple of tries/playthrough. You pretty much just moving around in a big casino + hotel + shopping district. There's also the fact that there's a kind-of-timer on which you have to run around and find some zombrex and move to the safezone now and then.

DR3 is a good upgrade from DR2, but it still got itstechnical issues. (For me, while I can play the game at max on 30 or 60 (if unlocked via user.ini) fps, but the FPS drop to 1-10 during cut-scenes for some strange reasons) The game world is bigger, but separated by zones that are delimited by the chapters. While there is a timer, it's a lot more "safe" to take your time finding the hidden stuff. (They even make jokes about the things in DR2 that was getting on the nerves of the players like having only 1 unmovable safe zone, having some family member to take care of would be a pain in the butt, etc.)

I would advise DR3 IF you got the rig for (and even then there's no garanty it will works).
I would advise DR2 if you only want a zombie-apocalypse survival game without having any problem with via the PC/Console.

I think hentaigasm.com is the true answer mang.

DR3 is a great game, but DR2 is, imo overall better, esp the boss fights. The bosses in DR3 are every bit as inventive as in DR2, however, I found that I could relatively easily "tank n spank" all of them with little need for strategy.

Where DR3 really differentiates is the combo vehicles. They are all very inventive and very cool. However, you probably won't use most of them. The Roller Hog is the first combo vehicle you get, and it's pretty much the all around best one which you will most likely stick to through the whole game as a result, only resorting to using others when it gets destroyed and you need something else so you're not forced to walk.

[You takin notes]

They all have their pros and cons. For example, DR2's bosses are ♥♥♥♥.

what i dont like about dead rising 3 is that the graphics make the game feel so different to 1 and 2.. dead rising 1 and 2 have their own charme and are capcom style (especially 1).
i wish capcom themself would have kept going to do them instead some western developer.
so i say dead rising 1 = fun but you can take it serious, dead rising 2 = fun fun fun the story doesnt feel serious or i cant at least take it serious and dead rising = fun but abit more serious again.

btw dead rising case west was better than the main game, they shold shave have done it in the dessert the main game. shame they didnt.

DR 2 and OTR both merged to Steamworks so no you don't need GFWL anymore. Also both DR 2 and OTR are equally worth it. Though I personally prefer OTR. Both are different in their own ways. DR3 is the better game. But they're all equally good

but they downgraded the textures in otr.. so the console versions ran better and they did the same to pc for no reason whatsoever. and you cant even turn off that ugly depthoffield.
