Jesus, that stretches the term 'patch' a little.
Wtf is up with these huge updates? Killer Instinct got a 3GB update. What in the world could possibly be taking up so much space?
yeah, I've posted about this in a few threads but there seems to be something really busted with the update system. KI is only like 3.4GB in the first place. A patch that is not important enough for release notes (probably just DLC prep) should not be 5GB
So I've had this game for a few weeks but didn't play it too much (only got to the section where co-op gets unlocked). It wasn't up until yesterday when I realized how fun this game was! That was because a buddy of mine got the Xbox One along with DR3. Played co-op with him and was surprised on how opened ended this game is. Just going around in ridiculous costumes bashing zombies and earning PP...man what a great game! 
Turned on Xbox, had a notification for dr3, saying it needed to be installed or something? Clicked on it, selected "finish(ed)?" and could play immediately. So far so good.
Do not like update system. Confusing.
Side note - got 1,100 zombie kill streak. Ive gotten much worse achievements, I pretty much expected to get a token one. Alas

Wow that sucks!
Get sure that the installation of the patch is finished actually, that's what happened to me. It will say if you press menu on the tile.

Isn't it impossible for you to lose your saves becauseit is all in the ccloud also anyway?

Just put my disc in, did the update and finished, loading it up now (not really going to play just wanted the update done) and my save file seems to be fine.
I hope all of yours got sorted out in the end...

Well, theoretically speaking, not necessarily considering if your old save was eaten and you started the game up with a busted save when you quit it would save your new broke save over your old, kosher one.

Oh hell yes.
The Ultimate Grim Reaper is the weapon that does the most damage, IMO.
I was a level 46 and got those last 4 ranks in about 15 minutes by going to Chapter 8, throwing a massive bomb in a crowded area. Then grab Ultimate Grim Reaper and just hack through another area.

Finally got around to beating my first play through where i just went through quickly for the story (lol). Man, that destroy 60 drone mission pissed me off with all the traveling.. Now I can restart and enjoy myself with the sub missions etc.

Damn. So I have 101 out of 103 combo weapon blue prints. There are no more icons on the map and I'm going crazy!
anything obvious I might be missing? I'm almost 100%

I think this happened to me on Killer Instinct :/
Of course, what would be awesome is if they add some type of "system restore" for save files. So if something does happen, I could just revert to a save from a previous date or something.

oh son of a bitch. So I can't get that achievement now unless I buy the dlc? I knew I should have done this grinding two weeks ago
there are achievements for finding 5, 25, 50, and 100 blueprints on top of an achievements for building every single one.
you should have it if you have found them all as you say. i dont believe the dlc weapons are factored into this.

Off the top of my head I believe you hit options while highlighting a title in the OS. You'll see different options pop up on the right side. I think it was named "information" I remember hitting that and seeing exactly what version of Killzone is installed and what every patch has done so far.
That is amazing, lol.

People have turned into zombies. A drug (Zombrex) has been created that stops the bitten from turning if they take it every 12 hours.
The outbreak began ten years ago.
You don't even need to know that really.

Huge (original) Dead Rising fan here. The first Dead Rising was my favorite Xbox 360 game and it probably still is. That game encapsulated everything I loved about Capcom before they got weird to me and I somewhat lost interest in their games. I bought and played through all of Dead Rising 2 at launch and while I more or less convinced myself at the time that I was enjoying myself, in retrospect I realized how disappointing it was compared to the original. I had no intentions of ever playing Dead Rising 3 before I bought my Xbox One, but my family wanted to get me something other than cash for the holidays so I told them to get me some games that I would have most likely not have purchased on my own (hah). Well, my father bought me this game and now I'm really glad I got the chance to play it because I'm REALLY enjoying it!
This game will never be the original Dead Rising...but HOLY SHIT does it blow away Dead Rising 2. I will have to say though, the first couple of cut scenes were a bit hard to watch. That diner scene at the start where they essentially recreated that scene from the first game where the old lady opens up the mall doors for her dog...yeah, really, really hard to watch in this one. The dialogue was BAD and the characters felt like they were ripped out of a B-tier Walking Dead-like TV show (and I don't even like or watch that show). I will say one thing, I'm glad the game seems like it's taking itself a bit more serious. Also, nothing is worse than that stupid death match game show nonsense from the second game. So bad. The Zombrex thing is just so embarrassing though, a little disappointed to see it return. I thought the first game had a legitimately cool/interesting scenario and ever since the second game it just feels like any other zombie film/game. No cast of characters will ever top the crew from the original and none of these car/bike mechanic dudes will ever top Frank. With that said, I've come to accept those facts, however, as the game itself is just too much fun!
I'm usually not overly concerned with graphics and I'm hardly ever looking to be impressed by "how many things/people" you can fit on a screen, but I gotta say seeing all those hordes of zombies at the start of the game (where you basically jump across a sea of stranded cars) was pretty impressive. Also, is this game running at a steady 30FPS? I've rarely noticed it dip and the load times are like nonexistent (unlike DR2 where its performance/load times sort of made the game even worse than it already was). I'm also digging just how streamlined the whole game is. Combining items on the fly, great/helpful menus and waypoint systems and such. It's just a lot more pleasant to play despite feeling a bit unrealistic/cartoon-like being able to hold and craft a bunch of shit in the middle of the street without tools, but it's a videogame so whatever. I also really like how the safe houses keep track of everything you've worn/picked up/driven, etc. Between the side missions and all the bonus objectives/collectables (love the Frank statues, cool touch) around every corner, it's really hard to put down.
There's just something about the Dead Rising formula/structure that clicks with me (even with DR2 to some extent). I feel like it's a series that is holding onto particular elements/philosophies that I would feel/experience when I would play an old school Resident Evil game. I just love how these games are scenario driven with multiple outcomes/endings too. Now that we're three games in I want to say that Dead Rising still feels more survival horror-like than any other pseudo-horror game out there like The Last of Us or Dead Space. I just love the flow of exploring/leveling on your own, experimenting with weapons, and then facing a boss (psychopath) to unlock a new area/progress the story. There's usually some sort of wrap around or shortcut created too as you play. Good stuff.

Was the survivor bulletin list always 25 or was it 24 initially before the update?
I checked some youtube DR3 video and saw some showing its 24max
Reason, I just finish DR3 but my bulletin is showing 24/25 survivors. Some1 posted the survivor list and I double check that I saved all those that were mention.

Look in the mirror #25! It's you!!!
Ok, maybe not. Just a random thought. Would love to be 100%-ing this game right now but I'm home for the holidays so...

I think it is the woman in the grave yard doing the voodoo. Did you save her in time? I let her die and I have 24 out of 25 survivors.

Okay, played last night after updating...
No zombies, anywhere on the map...none. Went to the mission marker, opened the door to "go into the sewers" turned around, mission marker is floating in mid air where the doors are. Went into the sewers then out into the graveyard, couldn't advance or do anything.
Saved, quit to main menu, tried to load, got a black screen.
Has this happened to anyone else?

she's Christine Emerie. I saved her.
imma try reinstall the game and keep xbone offline and see if its 24 max preupdate or not.
could it be a statistic ready-to-go for the incoming dlc?
The more and more I play this game the more and more I realize how bad it is in relation to every other game in the series. Basically everything that made the series unique has either been watered down to the point you can't even recognize it's a Dead Rising game or just flat ass removed. I might go into more detail later after I force myself to finish it, but shit it's depressing we reached this point with such an original and unique series so fast. Modern AAA(A) for you, I guess.
This is probably the most a game has disappointed me since Deus Ex Invisible War, but at least that was still a fucking Deus Ex game, albeit a really shitty one.
Ugh shit man you have more than enough time to do anything in this game at anytime. This isn't even getting into stuff like all the bosses are pathetic walks in the park anyways you can beat at level 1 with almost no difficulty simply by spamming combo weapons like the fire street lamp, so it's not like you have to really worry about missing that pp.
Game can not be watered down more than it is on "normal" and be anything other than a shitty dynasty warriors knock off with zombies.

well at least the story progression now aren't time dependent. now you can chose when to proceed the next chp but of course if you don't leave a lot of time left from the time given, then you won't be able to complete them in time.
side missions are unlocked at specific chp tho.
Yup it seems like prepatch its max at 24
Guess the 25th survivor is from DLC
