I'm enjoying CatDog Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway where I only play CatDog..

Fun game, I like that it's 12 players from 8 players so its basically Mario Kart 8 but Mario Kart 8 is actually good.

In this game, everyone (except that girl from Dance Moms) is fully voiced. While that is great to hear, most of the voicelines repeat and it gets annoying like I get it Cat, you like to cha cha cha..

Compared to 2, this game very grindy to unlock everything. In 2, you can unlock most characters from playing cups and the single player mission mode but in 3, most of the time you will need to unlock from playing online games which is essentially dead right now. Questionable character selection like, they removed characters (Tommy, Angelica, Heffer etc) in favour of characters like Young Spongebob, Young Patrick and PURPLE REPTAR??

They still kept that girl from Dance Moms.

Whatever, at least I can play as CatDog

(This game does not support cloud saving for whatever reason. I've tried to install it on my Steam Deck and the save did not transfer via cloud and I didn't want to unlock everything again. Nick Kart Racers 2 had cloud saving. Could we get a fix on this?)

Hooray! A Xbox One Exclusive finally came to PC so I didn't have to spent money on a console that I don't see playing that much due to the fact that around 80% of Xbox One games are multiplatforms. I loved the Dead Rising series when I had my Xbox 360 and I did buy all three of them (Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record) including their DLC (Case: Zero and Case: West) but the problem with Dead Rising 3 that I had to buy the newest console to play it, which was a darn shame. But not anymore!

I'm still playing the game so I haven't reached the ending just yet. But it's not making me stop playing the thing. There is a lot of things to do to keep me engaged. Collectibles, side quests and challenges that are scattered all around Los Perdidos. Let's talk about that darn city!

Los Perdidos is huge. Definitely bigger than Willamette Mall and Fortune City and it includes no loading screens between these areas other than the loading screen when you first start up and small loading screens between cutscenes. There are four main areas (Districts) that you will be able to explore including small areas like labs and warehouses. Each connected by a freeway. These districts are quite filled. Stores, Garages, Clubs and more depending on which side of the city from the rich up-built homes of Sunset Hills to the Mills, Warehouses and strip clubs of South Almuda. Like I said before, looking around these places will reward you with collectibles and stranded survivors.

I loved Dead Rising 2's way of finding weapons to combine to create a pretty lethal assistant. But in that game you had to find workbenches to create them. Never more, you can now have the parts and create them where you are standing. The problem is, that it doesn't get used that much. Basically, there isn't one main safe room like the other games. There are a few that you'll need to clean out and claim it. After claiming it, you will have access to a weapons locker which will spawn combo weapons and firearms which removes the point of searching around for the parts and creating new combo weapons. Yeah, "Don't use them!" is one excuse but what's the point of them being there then?

The main story protagonist, Nick irritates me. He's very whiny and is always "so terrified" when wielding a sharp combo weapon and slicing around 13 zombies when he says those stupid lines. For example; Nick kills one of the biker leaders and he's breaking down that he "Didn't kill anyone who wasn't a zombie before" but he killed a Psychopath around 10 minutes before. I was pretty irritated about that line.. Some of the psychopaths start attacking him because of them saying something stupid to anger them. If he didn't start blabbing, maybe those psychos won't be dead (But this game does need Psychopaths!). Nick is my least out of the three protagonist (Frank and Chuck) and he's pretty forgettable. The other main story characters pretty much irritate me or are forgettable (Like Rhonda and ♥♥♥♥ (who is basically there to be Player Two). However, I did enjoy the lines of the not-so-important survivors and their quests. I love the neighbors bickering to each other and the meat dress lady's line.

Love them or hate them, I love survivors in the Dead Rising series. There could be really helpful on assisting you or an absolute pain on getting them in that room! (Curse you Snowflake!) But they are quite different on DR3. Instead of DR and DR2, you don't escort them back to the main safe house anymore which I.. ..enjoyed doing (even the irritating ones!) instead, they're split into three groups. Stranded Survivors who always need help on clearing zombies out of their area and they will run off giving you extra PP. The Side Event Survivors who needs errands doing (for example; "I need some guns" "I need to collect food") when completed, you will get PP and you will leave them to their everyday lives (I guess?). The last group are Posse Survivors which will accompany you when you finish their task. Each survivor have a stat. One could have excellent running speed but lacks in ranged attacks. The problem with these people that they are pretty overpowered if you give them something good. I had one survivor completely murder a psychopath without me helping her (Christine, you will always be my side gal). I might as well talk about the Psychopaths here too. They are pretty easy challenges which is a shame because some of the previous Psychos were pretty hard. (The Convicts, Brandon). You could easily whack a 2x2 planks and run off when they start attacking and they will be defeated. But I love their style and personality. For example, Darlene who represent the sin Gluttony will still give me the chills and shivers.

I read articles that this game is a bad PC port. I have mixed feelings about it. Yes, default settings is 30FPS which is horrible but I unlocked the Frame rate and I'll get around 60 - 90 Frames per second on my GTX 980/i7 4790k which is pretty fine for me. However, I have encountered random crashing and long startup times but this happened rarely. I still recommend that you unlock the 30 Frames-Per-Second lock. It looks horrible at 30FPS..

Would I recommend this game? I don't know.. The overworld and gameplay is fantastic. The ability to create even custom vehicles to drive around the large place and mowing down thousands of zombies is brilliant. It makes me want to explore the world even more than I did with Willamette and Fortune City. Lots of collectibles to find. Lots of side quest to do. I will also recommend listening to the soundtrack if you have any free time. I mean, I would listen to it when I write this but I haven't listened to the Super Smash Bros for Wii U yet. Sorry DR3, maybe next time. I don't recommend the story though (So far as I'm still playing). It's pretty forgettable and I highly recommend you playing Dead Rising 1 (If you have a Xbox..), Dead Rising 2 and even Dead Rising 2: Off the records. That reminds me. I haven't got them on PC yet. Might check it out and play them again.
