Great, as long as they don't completely muck up the port I can see myself getting this.
It was pretty fun on XBone, just not worth $500 for an Xbone.
I miss the bright colors/look of a shopping mall and Vegas (from the first two games). I see there's still crazy stuff to do/make, but I miss the vibe of the previous games. Would you say it's as fun as the previous games?
I probably wouldn't buy it anyway, as my video card is close to the minimum spec (between this and Elite, it may be the year I finally have to look at an upgrade).
I never played 2. I tried one a few times, but the tight time limit killed that game for me. But, yeah, this game is tons of fun. Mowing down crowds of Zeds with a motorcycle/lawn mower combo. Hitting them with a sledge-hammer strapped with grenades.
I will probably get this for PC when it isn't $60.

Wait, so DR3 removed that atrocious time limit mechanic?
I played a little DR1 when it first came out, but like you, I felt the timer just killed the fun. I was interested in DR2, but before it came out, I read that it still had the timer, so I never touched it. After that I didn't care anymore and never payed attention. If DR3 no longer has that damn timer, I'll probably pick this up.
Though even if it does, being on the PC, hopefully someone will release a hack to disable it.

6GB of ram minimum?!? For that fuzzy, dated looking garbage?
God damn programmers have gotten fucking lazy.

I never paid any attention to DR3 because it was a console exclusive. Was it the same as DR2?

Prez wrote on Jun 5, 2014, 12:40:It is the same in spirit, but it is both vastly superior and slightly inferior to DR2/OTR. The controls are greatly improved over DR2's clunky movement and there's so many more opportunities to murder zombies. On the downside, the story and new lead character are both boring. Nick is lame compared to Frank/Chuck.
