This game is fun and all, but it has one serious issue that annoys me. It's also an issue that annoys me in a lot of other games. You're just a person in this game. Some random dude on the island just like everyone else. Sure, you have an immunity to the infection, but you still die easily like everyone else. Yet for SOME reason, every single person you come across, seems to think your only purpose in life is to solve their stupid little problem. I get having sidequests. Sidequests are good to have. But when the sidequests are stupid little things like "Bring me food." or "Get car parts from about 20 feet down the road." or "Gather supplies from right over there because I'm too lazy to do it myself.". Like..every zombie thing explains that the best idea is to travel in groups, or at least with 1 other person. So why exactly does everyone seem to think you'd be best off wandering around on your own with nothing but a hammer and a baseball bat to keep your safe, while they sit on their ass in the comfortable fenced off area? Couldn't some of these NPCs come WITH you when looking for something? Maybe a character could watch your back for a change, instead of just sending you off to do tedious errands alone? Some games it makes sense. In Skyrim, I can understand doing things alone. You're some dovahkiin dragon dude. But even then you have help occasionally. In Dead Island, it's just "Go find me 2 cans of food because I'm hungry and don't wanna help because fuck you." Also, a slightly 'lesser' complaint. I wish the minimap had an actual map on it. Instead of just a blank nothing with icons and dots. ALSO, "climb cars and kick zombies in the face." I have a hard time doing that for some reason. I jump into the back of a truck, and try to attack zombies, and I can barely ever hit them. I had 2 thugs trying to get at me while I was on a truck, and I couldn't touch 'em. I tried standing on every part that I could, thinking maybe I had to be higher or lower to hit them, but nope. Eventually I gave up and just hopped down. And "every weapon has a real sense of weight to them." I beg to differ. You wildly swing a large baseball bat through the air with ease. Then when you manage to hit something, it doesn't do anything different. It just keeps swinging as if you hit nothing but air, despite clearly hitting something. For me, the weapons feel exactly the opposite of "having a real sense of weight".
I loved this game even playing solo but i didnt like the constant respawn of the zombies. I found that if you leave an area for a second then go back every single zombie you just spent time slaying is back as it was and found that it got really annoying especially when i was doing side missions. I hope they fix them little quirks in riptide because im buying the shit out of that game on tuesday.
I think the infected have less health cause i can easyli chop a infecteds head off but with the walkers its around 2 and i think floaters are the easiest to kill nybody else?
Dorian Stark You dont mind that youve paid 5-600 for a next gen console that still cannot do a full 1920x1080 lines of resolution at 60fps. Thats cool i guess.
dude imagine how boring this game would be if you killed all the zombies in one area and they DIDNT respawn. The Island would be empty after a few hours of playing!! Killing zombies is the most fun part of this game...

Finally someone sees how much fun the game is. Nice review for my fav zombie game.
Can anyone tell me the music in 4:00?
Why have levels if enemies scale?
This game is free on xbox 360 now!
to give you different abilities to take out enemies in different strategic ways without having you just one shot everything.

I think the infected have less health cause i can easyli chop a infecteds head off but with the walkers its around 2 and i think floaters are the easiest to kill nybody else?

I didn't even know I purchased a next gen console. Thats news to me. Why am I not playing it then? :(
@TheTrailerCREAT0R if i was playing that then i keep seeing your name everywhere
This game was so fucking overhyped, more money was spent on the trailers then the actual game.
people are still resonding to this in 2015 now 2016
xddd
Could be because they remastered it for PS4 and XBone
2018!!
i haven't played it yet but i think its fun. but they could have made a lot more out of it
im sorry but if these people are afraid of this somewhat small amount of zombies then id hate to see there reaction to fortune city (deadrising)
Adored it back in the day, burnt out on it now
Try Dying Light it's much better
I already have Sam B's song on my iPod already
Reading this 12yrs later 💀💀💀

5.6 + 7.9 + 7.8 + 9.0 / 4 = 7.75 not 8.5
O.o
I don't think he did an average I think that was a seperate rating.
Then why they use indivual scores if those are not used at the end? I dont see the point :c
Neither do I but either that or he needs to go back to elementary school.
Great game btw
