DEAD ISLAND by Techland

The DLC looks like rubbish tbh, appears they took out all the stuff that made Dead Island good:

Open World - Most of what Ive seen is set in those horrible sewer levels
RPG elements - Skill tree is greyed out and char and items are capped at lvl 15
Multiplayer removed - Say no more

Watch Giantbomb's Quicklook for an idea. Shame really, was really looking forward to it

 

Just started playing through this, having fun but Im up to Wheels of Steel, 3rd Chapter, every time I try to enter the Hotel after killing the 2 thugs, the game crashes on the loading hotel screen, anyone whos playing this able to get past this or know a fix? Its a main quest so I cant fucking do anything else cause I cant get into the Hotel

 

FCKING **** of a bug if ur inventory is full and u buy/make bomb/moly.

 

For some reason i loaded up Dead Island today and i'm getting 20-30 fps... i have no idea why its frustrating. I have been getting smooth gameplay otherwise, but today, its horrible.

Edit: Wierd, i restarted my comp and opened the game up again, 230-270fps and its staying that way...

 

Fixed the above issue by rechecking the steam files, found a bad file, replaced it, now runs fine

 

still have not finished this game

 

The save system really annoys me, there needs to be a way to manually save. I lost a tonne of progress and made me rage quit.

 

Have 3 copies of Dead Island available for $4.80 Each. PM if interested.

The tail between the legs comment:

It was stupid, and I've never have bought it, but it still beats ingame DLC as a preorder bonus

 

I agree, it's a pretty stupid preorder "bonus". I understand that busts are "in", but really, what would you do with it? It's not exactly recognisable, like a duke nukem, or alien/predator bust.

 

Took a fair bit of time to finish this on co-op. Not a bad time sink but at the end I hated side quests and just wanted to get the main one done.

Edit: The knife spec chick makes killing walkers fairly quick with the stomp/jump on head move; if anyone is looking for a faster play through.

 

Iv'e nearly finished it twice as you can play it again with current character too continue lvling. Havn't played it for a bit tho.

 

I only played through this for the first time recently. For some reason i went in with pretty low expectations and was pleasantly surprised at how good the game was. I played through it single player and felt that was still a really cool way to play, seems to have a good difficulty level because you always have to watch your own back. The stamina system also adds alot to the game.

 

I agree it would've been awesome I would have bought it too

 

agreed, i'm now addicted to it - about 40% through, but doing all side quests etc - my son loves watching and its got a great atmosphere
