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.

Cheers dude:)
 
Is there any way to easily save the game? Exploration and killing zombies is fun, but it seems the only way you can save is by completing quests? Kind of defeats the whole "openness" of it all.

aslong as you exit the game properly it saves at that point, it saves whenever you zone/fast travel aswell

Do this trick

Just got this info off steam forum, Hope this helps.

when coming to edit the file instead of putting it back in the Data0.pak just put the file into your settings folder (like this if your edit the fov, C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\DeadIsland\out\Data\skills\default_levels.xml, just use that same format for editing other files what are in other folders)

I am not sure if this gets around the VAC BS but it should since the files you modified are not in a folder that systems look but i have not clue about how there anti-cheating system works, If you don't want to get banned using the these tweaks just make a server that has VAC disabled.

Played 8 hours last night with 2 friends and had a blast. We've started to rush through though, some missions are very similar to others and none of cba killing every single zombie in our path so we just run past them.

I dont see how this got such bad reviews in some places, its an 8/10 for me minimum. Some parts are proper cheap though, like forcing you to go through a narrow tunnel only to meet two of them beasts that swing their arms and them boomer type fattys, its because of things like this it takes longer to complete the game. I've done 50% of the story mission and its taken 9 hours, and only done 2 side quests. Think there are a lot more side quests than main quests, this is where the replay value is.

Guys how does coop tie in with the games SP?

Can you just play whatever mission again ?

basicly coop is you entering into someone elses single player game and anything you do in their game transfers over to yours so you dont lose progress , items or anything else its all transfered olver to your own game

Two hours in .... does this get good?

Pretty poor so far. Looks and performance are terrible...bad controls...wooden acting/voiceovers...crappy 'quests' that don't seem to alter the story. It took me 20 minutes to find some middle-aged bint's teddy bear!

Control/movement is AWFUL.
 
i done that teddy bear mission was a bit naff that bird lol

i like the game though better than l4d games,its not about blasting guns and that :)

What happens if you haven't completed that bit in your SP? does it skip forward to the hosts missions

you can only join someone if they are on the same part or lower.

so if you have a friend further infront than you, they will have to join your game and help you progress

Is anyone finding this game to be repetative so far?...just whacking the crap out of zombies and doing silly little missions like collecting booze?
Or am i not doing something right?

also how do you play online?
 
press escape and goto "game lobby" and browse the list of people/parties

only the groups in the area you are in show up.
the games seperated into zones the "resort" is the first one and only others in the "resort" will show up
