Got it this evening, played a few hours with a random. Even with a random playing it was good fun, theres a few bugs but overall its a nice game. Looking forward to playing Coop properly at some point!
 
Movement feels Bad!

Constant respawn of peeps I just killed is not good.

First game in a, well since first Quake 2 days that has made me feel motion sickness :eek:

Like the idea of the Island scenario though and the adult chat etc, plus sure the ways to kill a zombie will only get better and better more you play..
 
Well I love this game.

PLayed tonight from the start coop with a mate and it is just great fun. A very different game to L4D.

You can flying kick a zombie in the head - nuff said.

Graphics look great. Environment is great, Combat is solid enough and the quest system just works and makes for a compelling experience. I have had no bugs and joining a game was easy. Only complaint so far is that the menus are a bit of a hassle. Hopefully they will address it but if not it won't matter to me.

Great game.
 
Played it for about an hour, I'm genuinely surprised I managed to download 7GB in less than one evening with my download speeds.

Some randomer joined me and started killing all the zombies I wanted to kill and took all of the good weapons so I was left with a rusty knife or something along those lines.

I'd much rather just play the game by myself or with friends. Other than that it seems decent, could do with just a few more zombies and the mouse movement feels weird no matter what settings I use, but I'll get used to it.

There is an awful juddery problem with the controls if you enable Vsync while using Keybaord and mouse. Disabling V-sync should solve that. If you use an Xbox pad you can use Vsync and not get the laggy feeling, a fix for keyboard controls will be incoming soon apparently.

I have tried both but settled on keyboard and mouse. While the analogue combat mode with a pad is much better (you can swing weapons in all sorts of directions and do uppercuts and slams etc), I still prefer mouse and keyboard for running about.

This game has some really silly omissions (being able to assign hotkeys 1-8 for weapons etc) and other annoying quirks, but apart from that it has blown me away so far :D

Random people can join your game just like that?

Having fun so far, but...

1. Does the game only save when you get the "Checkpoint" message in the bottom left? There is no quick save right?!

2. Why is the "Track" option in the quest window allways greyed out? I can't do any side missions as I dont know where they are it just automatically sticks to tracking the main quest!

you have to click on the quest and make it active you dont click the "track quest button"
 
Got flying strikes on my sharps specialist tonight.

Sprinted at a zomb, jumped, attacked and got a slow motion proc while slicing upwards through neck and removing head.

is this any good?

Its pretty good actually.

Keyboard controls cause the game to be abit clunky at the moment but a patch should be here soon fixing that issue. For the time being 360 controller is silky smooth.

The game itself is very fun, ive spent nearly 2 hours just killing zombs and collecting what ever I can find, without even spending time on the quests yet.
