Dead Island

Postby James » Mon Sep 05, 11 2:45 pm

I only made this thread to tell you how bad the game is. Avoid.

Farcry with fetch quests with lack of zombies.

It's out?

So verdict is for single player, what about co-op potential?

I only ever considered it as jumping on the L4D bandwagon anyway

It's a bad FPS game with rarely anymore than 3 zombies on screen. You save hostages.

That's all there is to it!

Also the final third has really terrible shooting parts against humans apparently, 30 bullets to kill.

I wouldn't even compare it to Dead Rising because of similarities, because Dead Rising is actually fun.

Well.. I'll probably find it fun.


I'm sort of expecting a hoard of patches with this game as well.

I don't see why you care so much (even to post a reply) about my judgement on games.

Yes, we all know my opinions are shit... blah blah RAT7



I play games with little expectations so I'm not disappointed with most titles.

If you actually had zero expectations for Dead Island, then you would be impressed.

After playing for a while..

Co-op is very fun.

They went a tad crazy with the bloom.. but I'm alright with that considering my character isn't wearing sunglasses.. and I'm in a Jungle. It makes sense.

Beautiful environment.

Character movement can feel a bit awkward, but it's not bad.

You start off facing a small amount of zombies, but as you progress there are more, more, and more.

**If you buy Dead Island. Don't expect L4D. Expect Dead Island.

No one expected Left 4 Dead at all... the only thing people expected was a ripoff due to the bigger zombies. lol

Plus L4D is a fantastic seroes, this is a poor open world game by a Polish developer who have a vast array of mediocrity and shit games under their belt.

lol

It's a pretty fun game.


Mindless missions and zombie killing on an island is all I wanted out of the game.

-and I got it.

Yeah, I lol'd at the whole dev build thing.

I'll have infinite ammo until they fix it.


....too bad I don't have a gun yet

...
...
...

I honestly think they're making improvements to the game before they release the ACTUAL version on steam.

I don't think it takes 24+ hours to replace the older files with newer files (that are done and waiting to be launched).

They fixed the american released 'dev build', so I don't see why any other release wouldn't be fixed.


Besides, despite the flaws it has (like any game on release) many people are rating it very highly for what it is. Zombie games aren't unique - but then you shouldn't expect them all to be like L4D.

So its a broken on release stale repetitive (game play and recycled content) buggy open world shooter with amazing blood. It's okay because most other games are shit, right?
