There aren't many surprises, game has a few 'heavies' like the Floaters or Rams it throws at players, but it's indeed stale. This is actually something I appreciate. Dead Island has good, simple gameplay that I can shut my brain off for and relax after a hard day of work. It's not for everyone though. So many new games feel like a second job, except they don't earn me money 😐

    It wasnt that generic over a decade ago (until the expansion/'sequel' and then Dying Light, etc.) and it wasnt really meant to be serious & gritty, the premise is an over-the-top zombie apocalyse killing spree in a sunny tropical wonderland. It just had a killer CGI trailer that was only vaguely related to the game (e.g. zombies at a resort).

    I genuinely enjoyed the first dead island when it came out - also chose Sam cause of his rage ability, and big hammers are cool! Though I ended up throwing them at enemies half the time, and that was still solid. I do believe that the Voodoo song he sings is kinda cool (even bought it on iTunes, back in the day when people paid for music) and I will hold that the Dead Island Trailer where the events are in reverse is the absolute BEST game trailer I've ever seen - it legit brought tears to my eyes, it was emotional and intense and I loved it. The game is aggressively 6/10 in design but it's easy to play and never demands you pay too much attention, making it easy for me to relax with in the evenings.
    Seriously, that trailer still sets the bar for me.

    I don't think it's that generic. For a 2011 zombie game, it had an interesting setting you don't often see and a unique for the time combat system focusing more on melee weapons and dodging and less on guns. It's not the greatest zombie game ever but you're giving it way more shit than it honestly deserves.

    The thing I actually loved the most about this game was the manual aiming mode. Took a little getting used to, but you could aim at a specific body part and hold L2 to go into a lock on mode and then flip the right stick from left to right for a swing for example. Made the controls feel like Skate or something. It let you strategically aim for limbs and cut them off. Definitely great stuff that made the combat actually feel unique, and it seems to be quite the overlooked feature ;).

    Dead Island isn't a game that you play for the story. Dead Island is a game that you play because you just want to beat up zombies without a time limit, and the story objectives really just serve the purpose of keeping you going. The only real problem with the game is that outside of playing with friends, it doesn't do much to keep you interested because of how generic the story feels.

  • @TheColosiss
    @TheColosiss 4 месяца назад

    It is possible to level up to max level very early on. At the beginning, instead of running all the way down the hall to initiate the cutscene there is a room to the left. Push the zombie blocking the door out of the way and then jump onto the bed. The zombies won't be able to reach you, and they can be hit.
    Now, knock them over and get the instant curbstomp kills. They will give massive xp for being so high of a level. Reload the checkpoint once all the zombies have been dealt with and boom! Easy leveling.

    I don't know how you could enjoy any game with your playstyle. You just mindlessly run around like you have ADHD the entire time.

I had a friend just like you and he played the same way, he was always bored of every game.

    Dead Island is that strange game where the story is forgettable, but the gameplay is fun enough that I've played it through start to finish more times than any other game in my collection.
    I play Dying light? I then think "Oh, this reminds me of Dead Island" then play Dead Island and love it.
    Open world game? "Hey, I'm reminded of Banoi" then play Dead Island and love it.
    Finishing a great story game? "That was great! Now I'm in the mood for something fun and mindless" then play Dead Island and love it.
    Seriously, that game has a magnetism that has drawn me towards it more than any other.

    Unpopular opinion: you'll never truly experience dying light the way it was meant to be if you haven't played dead island at some point beforehand. You'll notice some stuff they used in dead island also in dying light as a small and unmentioned tribute, mostly just reused assets or models around the map and stuff like that

  • @LightLeo111

    Dead Island is not popular for its story. It is popular for the gameplay to fight zombies. It's for the fun times you have playing co op with friends, with everyone kicking the same zombie.
    There are too many visual glitches to take the game seriously. You could be talking to the npc about something series, and their arms and legs will glitch out.

    I feel like there's more cut content in this game than actual content certain NPCs are straight-up named wrong which causes some confusion when NPCs say names of people you've never met, a lot of story feels missing, and a lot of plotlines are just left in the open like that dude Sergei gives you a quest to bring him a phone and then he despawns and you never actually get said phone the quest ends when you find out his buddies are dead and you never report back to him, you basically leave all the characters you worked to save the whole game to die with zero indication you were gonna help them (with the second game opening saying "they didnt make it"), if youre lucky to find the notes you learn Xian is a chinese spy but this is never hinted at in the games apart from some hidden documents you have to go out of the way for but purna just seems to automatically know, and the big plot twist that's revealed in the DLC makes zero sense after you think about it for more than five minutes
    **spoiler**
    so in the dlc it turns out you were never talking to ryder you were talking to kevin this makes no sense cause kevins been impersonating ryder the whole game without ryder actually being there and I guess he was just banking on the idea ryder might show up so this entire game hes talking to you as ryder with the guy not actually showing up at the prison til like the end of the game when the heroes have already made it there
