It isn't a design flaw, the game simply is not designed for you. Do I save this one extra survivor or go for the core mission so I don't risk missing it?

That is simply what the game was designed for and the timer is 'supposed', but fails in DR3 as has been explained, to add a sense of 'urgency and dilema' in your choices. Heck, I don't see why you can't just do 'everything' in NG+ if you wanted once you knew what you were doing. The NG+/carry over aspect is a core element, especially with multiple endings. carried over (like a mini-NG+) or load last save and lose progress since then (I think). In past DR games if you die you get an option its back to the start of a NG but with all your stats/etc. If by some chance you are descended from the ancient slowbro species than you can utilize NG+, a CORE mechanic in Dead Rising games tho I'm not sure if it has the 'Dying' feature in it as I never died in DR3 before. In the end you will have more than enough time to do basically anything. The exception is when you are getting close to an event deadline go complete it than continue doing w/e it was you were. I actually thought they removed it in this game when I completed it.Īs others indicated you really don't have to think about time for the most part. You don't have to think about the time limit at all. Yes, I refunded it because there didn't seem to be a direct way to 'pause' it. I makes me feel like I don't have enough time to do everything - even if they do give me more than enough time - I don't want to have to think about a time limit AT ALL. My point is don't have open world games with timers. Unfortunately, unlike the first two games the timer was made to adhere to more casual players and was basically given more than enough time, way to much time so it ought not exist at this point. They wanted a timer to make it harder to save everyone and do all the side stuff in one go because it was designed around NG+. Of course, if you refunded it and don't buy it back doesn't do you much good. If you are trying to get everything in a single go on NG or NG+ you can do so leisurely as the timer is that long, even letting you go from level 1-50 and get all blueprints on one go. Screw around and just go into NG+ repeatedly if you want to do certain things.

You can also NG+ which is what the game was designed for. Originally posted by Xengre:It definitely matters how long the timer is when it is as long as it is in DR3.
