Pros
Pro Improved character customization
Previous titles in the series had character customization that felt outdated and dull. This is improved in this iteration of the series.
Pro Dynamic economy system
Pro Custom swords
Pro You are as strong as the NPCs
An arrow to the head by an enemy can in fact kill you. You are just (of course depending on the armor and stuff) as fragile as any other AI controlled NPC in the game.
Pro Enjoyable, impactful fighting mechanic
The combat in the game never gets old as there is always a new weapon to try out which makes for so many different ways to fight enemies depending on the weapon being used. This is basically a sandbox of killing zombies, there are so many combinations of doing so that one can be hard pressed to repeat themselves.
Pro Absurd, over-the-top, zombie-filled apocalypse experience
The story and action in Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition is pretty over the top, a staple of the series at this point which should appeal to those looking for zany zombie killing fun.
Pro Co-op support
Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition supports 2 player online co-op with a few DLC missions supporting up to 4 player online co-op. Sadly there is no local co-op to speak of.
Pro Extended gameplay through side-missions and collectibles
Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition offers plenty of side missions so players can take breaks from the main story line as well as lots and lost of collectibles. Taking the time to collect or complete side missions makes for plenty of hours spent in game.
Pro Great variety in weapons
There is an almost never ending supply of weapons to use and customize. This plays into how enjoyable it is to fight the zombies as there are so many weapon combinations available.
Cons
Con Not out yet
Planned to be released in 2017.
Con Dull, grey aesthetic
Yet another in the long line of brown and grey video games. This aesthetic may be tiresome to those that are sensitive to this type of design choice.
Con 30fps cap
Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition has a 30fps cap placed in the game by the devs (most likely being that this is a lazy port) that can be uncapped by editing an .ini file. Though once uncapped it is extremely difficult to get a stable 60fps, even on the most high end of systems.
