Zero Punctuation Season 11 Episode 2 Dead Rising 4

In season 11 episode 2 of Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee Croshaw takes a look at Dead Rising 4. The game is set in a festive, Christmas-themed fictional town of Willamette, Colorado where players take on the role of Frank West, a photojournalist who is trying to uncover the mystery behind the latest zombie outbreak.

Yahtzee praises the game's story and tone, commending the way it perfectly captures the cheesy, B-movie feel of the previous Dead Rising games. He describes the game's humor as "stupid but funny" and credits the voice actors for delivering their lines with the right amount of tongue-in-cheek.

However, Yahtzee is less impressed with the gameplay mechanics. He criticizes the game for being a haven of monotony, where players are tasked with the same repetitive actions over and over again. Yahtzee also states that by trying to improve accessibility and fun, the developers have eliminated any challenge the game might have offered.

Yahtzee further notes that the game's weapons and vehicles feel subpar when compared to previous Dead Rising games. He also critiques the game for its difficult saves and the lack of timer, which took away the sense of danger and urgency from the game.

Overall, Yahtzee concludes that while Dead Rising 4 has its fair share of issues, it is still an enjoyable game. He recommends it to fans of the series who are not afraid of repetitive gameplay and are looking for a good laugh.

In addition to his critique, Yahtzee also adds what he calls a "fashionable twist." He spends the last few minutes of the episode discussing the game's difficulty settings, which he compares to fashion trends. Yahtzee concludes that just like fashion, the difficulty settings in games come and go in popularity, and he advises players to choose the one that feels best for them.

In summary, Zero Punctuation season 11 episode 2 is an enjoyable and entertaining critique of Dead Rising 4. Yahtzee Croshaw offers a fair and balanced review of the game, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses while also throwing in his signature humor.
