*** Official Dead Island Thread ***

I'll give it a TRY, However I won't take much notice of people saying ITS AMAZING until they've played it for atleast a number of hours. I've played games that i thought was amazing then 3hrs in I want a refund lol
 
Dont know what everyone is complaining about I think it looks exactly how I expected it to be.

About this been repetitive. Someone who said this said to go play l4d, sorry but that game is just as repetitive as this one.

One thing that looks as though it might bug me from the videos though and ruin some of the immersion is the exp that pops up when you kill something. Hope you can turn that off.

This.

Basically me and 2 mates were ****ing ourselves with laughter as we booted zombies on the ground repeatedly and performed flying kicks into zombie faces.

Ganging up on the miniboss like Thugs with these sorts of things being yelled over comms:

"Take him out at the knees!"
"Break both his arms"
"Flying boot him to the head"

It's absolutely hillarious.

The point focused damage model is exceptional, take out legs/knees etc and they have a hard time getting up. Break arms and they cannot attack with them. The miniboss mobs have lots of health so you can strategically focus damage for great effect. Unlike L4D where there are some area based damage effects the ramifications are more than JUST visual in Dead Island.

I threw my dagger into a zombies neck, it stuck in, stayed there, dealt initial strike damage and what appeared to be an additional bleed before I walked up and retrieved it then promptly booted them to the ground after for a follow up blunt weapon head smash.

Great fun :D

Yes, the blood did pool nice and progressively after this unfortunate victim hit the decking :D

Once we don't have to mess around with VPN stuff one of our group might live stream if anyone wants to watch some proper non-public/non-pickup co-op play. Highly family unfriendly however :D

Sorry but how do you go though a full dvd production run and not test a single one of them?

It's a sign of the times.

Very few development houses seem to have any kind of QC these days. It will only get worse but it will make the really good dev houses far more distinguishable.

I find it beyond belief you would not take a retail unit off the line and install it on a system as would an end user and do SOME level of play testing. Some things are so blatantly damn obvious it's beggars belief how it makes retail. Hell surely it should be:

Finalise build
Install Test
Play Test
Sign off on build
If good, send it for media creation/Digital Distribution
If not implement fixes/changes and return to step 1

I somewhat blame the age of digital distribution for the "screw it, we can retrofix this later, let's just get the money rolling" attitude, but it's not the cause, just an enabler.
 
For those of you who are on the fence like I was, head over to twitch tv and watch some yanky streams of single and co op play, had a lol at the co op fun to be had
 
That's SO AWESOME ! :D
