Dead Island

[Spunky]

Surprised there isn't a thread yet. The game is pretty fun.

 

[-Origin]

I posted some videos in my gameplay thread. It is indeed very fun. 2nd playthrough right now (there is a New Game+ /gasp), and it's still fun.

Use analog fighting controls if you can. Makes the game much better.

play lonely is a bit boring, rememmber a lot of dead rising and mixed with l4d.
but still i dont have guns. (lvl 5 o 6 i am).

you start getting decent guns at lvl 30

I actually enjoyed playing by myself more. It made everything more tense. I've played with 3 friends and every time I do, it feels like a slapstick-routine. We had contests over who could dropkick the most zombies.

It was initially buggy as **** when released on the PC, so it started off on the wrong foot with me. Ive only played it for about three hours, but Im tired of the fetch quests, the characters are pretty bland and the fighting is terrible. Melee might be better with the controller, but the game hasnt appealed to me enough to warrant plugging it in. None of the emotion and suspense of the original trailer has shown itself to me thus far. I dont care enough to go on, either. Ill give it another go at some point, I guess. For now, though, it feels like a ****ty condemned minus the scary plus zombies.

True! And it's sad, because the game had potential.

Feels like a mix of DeadRising,L4D and for some reason Far Cry.

I haven't experienced any bugs. I'm still enjoying the game.

Probably because they patched it, removing all of the dev functions that erased your save games over and over again.
