Can I Beat Dead Rising Without Killing Any Zombies? (Full VOD) Part 11 Finale
1- If you would not wish to read this super long - If you would not wish to read this super long description, I will be leaving a TLDR at the bottom with important information that you will need to know if you have questions, but if you would like me to go in depth on the information provided, I would highly recommend reading all the way through. After the TLDR, I will leave links to the inspirations that led to the creation of this series. Without further ado, let's get into this already!!!
- Inspired by YouTuber GameChamp3000, in this series of videos I will be trying to beat Dead Rising 1 without killing any zombies. The way I will track this is through the "Zombies Killed" counter on the bottom right of the screen. The rules are obviously as follows: I am allowed to damage all zombies and as long as they do not die, it won't go towards the kill counter. if I accidentally kill a zombie I will have to reset from a previous save.
- The reason I started this whole thing was so I could document my journey through this very difficult challenge and also so that I may review footage back on the playthrough to see key details where I succeed and where I fail.
- For my run, New Game Plus will be BANNED and I will be playing on a fresh level 1 Frank. The way I will be upgrading Frank is by completing missions and saving as many survivors as I can as they are the best way to earn Prestige Points for Frank (or PP haha).
- Also for PP, I'm allowed to kill psychopaths to continue the main story and complete side missions as they do not add to the kill counter which is what makes this run possible in the first place.
- You may be asking yourself, "how will he complete such a monumental task?" Well, as GameChamp3000 lovingly put it, I will be avoiding zombie grabs like they are the plague as if a zombie grabs me, there's a 50/50 chance I believe that if I push him away he will either die or get pushed over and only be slightly harmed. however, if a zombie grabs me and there are zombies behind him and I push the zombie on me out of the way, there is a chance that the zombie will knock into the other zombies, will kill them, and add to the kill counter. thus, I will have to reset to a previous save.
- To avoid being grabbed, I will be abusing the Zombie Ride skill unlocked in early levels. With the Zombie Ride skill, Frank can walk on the shoulders of zombies to avoid harm. After dropping from the Zombie Ride there will be a small grace period where Frank is immune to grabs so if I jump off quickly after initiating the ride, I can chain zombies together to become immune to grabs. I can also avoid grabs by simply jumping as you are immune while in the air of a jump.
- Some side notes 1.) I will try to make this in as little episodes as I possibly can. but it might take a really long time seeing as I barely completed anything and this first episode is edging 2 hours lol. 2.) I will not be skipping any cutscenes to give my playthrough a more let's play vibe so feel free to enjoy the story of Dead Rising 1 while you watch me struggle.
- I'd like to give a shout out to the YouTube content creator STIP0, for even after almost 17 years that this game has been out, he is still the number one content creator when it comes to Dead Rising 1 and it's development history, mod tools, and hidden alpha and beta content. I will link his channel at the bottom!
- I'd also like to give a shout out to the YouTube content creator Doug Doug because without him, I wouldn't be crazy enough to attempt challenges for hours on end to beat them let alone stream them.
-I would also like to thank all of you for tuning into the streams (if you did at the time). You really boost my drive to create content on YouTube. with that being said, have a wonderful day and enjoy the streams!
(TLDR)
- New Game Plus is banned and I will be starting from a level 1 Frank.
- I'm allowed to damage zombies as much as I want. As long as they do not die, they won't be added to the Kill Counter.
- Kills will be tracked via the kill counter located on the bottom right of the screen.
- If the zombie counter ever says anything other than zero, I will have to restart from a previous save.
- I will avoid all zombie grabs by jumping and using the "Zombie Ride" skill.
- PP will mainly be earned by saving survivors and defeating psychopaths.
- I'm allowed to kill psychopaths for main and side mission progression as they do not add to the kill counter at the bottom right of the screen.
- This will be similar to a Let's Play, meaning cutscenes will not be skipped and I will be on mute during them with no exception.
