True indeed ,l've done all side quests and l got all 5 characters on LV 70 however the big majority of blue prints are found by exploring the surroundings ,the best mods that are given to the player as side quest rewards are ELECTRIFYING , ELECTROTHERAPY and INFERNO
People who hate dead island are taking there video games to seriously. Its supposed to just be a fun game. I played the shit out of dead island. So ill buy this
It is true that Dead Island and Riptide's story and characters aren't that great but the overall fun of bashing zombies heads in makes it entirely worth your while, I agree with him 4/5 Stars. ★★★★☆
Good review. It didn't make me feel stupid like GameSpot's review. You guys actually considered the fact that we played the first one and either loved it or didn't care enough about it's downsides to keep playing it.
the higher rating may be helped by the fact that they were playing on PC. I could play the first on my laptop and I don't see why I won't be able to play this (and it's only £25 on PC)
Also everything was recycled from the first game, including the playable characters. It was a fun game but I wouldn’t even give it a seven on a good day.
Good review but I won't hate the things you say i'll hate. I play all genres and Dead Island to me is a bit of escapism without needing me to concentrate or care for characters etc. Plus its a scream with mates.
From the looks of it, This is just a rehash of the original. While that's not really bad thing, because I loved the original, there are still some downers. For one they obviously haven't improved voice acting or story. I remember when sequels were supposed to outdo the original. New content, new weapons (if need be applied), new environment. To honest I haven't played this yet, but loved savaging zombies in the original. I can overlook the few bugs, bad story, and repetitive combat.
my two cents: i have an amazing gaming pc but i still get framerate issues. plus video customization lacks options to tailor it to your liking. you can't change the FOV. other then the performance gripes, Riptide is almost identical to the first. if you liked the first, you'll like riptide too.
People who hate this game just doesn't have friends. It never gets old to kick zombies off the high ledges or just beat and kick the shit out off them.
"dead island is like a zombie, hard to put down, its creepy, and it has a few bugs in it; but it will keep you coming back for more" Great review GamesRadar
I bought it last night because I loved the first. So I wasnt expecting a game of the year but I didn't expect the same game. On the ps3 it had a cconstant lag, I wasnt hoping for a good story but the missions are boring and the same over and over. So after 2 hours of myself trying to love the game, I took it back for injustice.
This game's not a 5. lol You're saying this game is 100% perfect and deserves 40 bucks? Overall it seems like a good game, but it just doesn't look to be worth the money and it just seems viable to just replay for older Dead Island, which right now costs 10-20 bucks.
Its not perfect buy i'm about 5 hours in and having a blast. Nowhere near as glitchy as original Dead Island so far, just some frame rate issues i can live with. I'm giving it a 7.5 so far.
see this review was good it took the good and the bad in consideration and not just the bad (gamespot) if your having fun then who gives a fuck about the story, or that its to similar to the first one
This game is HORRIBLE! I swear is just leftover crap from the first game that was made into its own game. They should be ashamed that they released this. And this reviewer couldn't be more wrong. NOTHING is fixed from the first game.
Finally someone who doesn't trash this game
The side missions are important too. Not only do they give you more XPs, in the end you get rewarded with a cool mod.

Seriously, stop hating on this game. Get some friends, wait for a patch or two to come out, and then play it

ign gave it a good note , they even said , even if the story suck, and the final is not good , we still loved this game.,
The zombie analogy at the end was brilliant, GamesRadar.
Good review. It didn't make me feel stupid like GameSpot's review. You guys actually considered the fact that we played the first one and either loved it or didn't care enough about it's downsides to keep playing it.
Now this is a good review made me happy to watch!
the higher rating may be helped by the fact that they were playing on PC. I could play the first on my laptop and I don't see why I won't be able to play this (and it's only £25 on PC)
Only $40 on Steam so I might get it. Why did you only upload in 720P?
this game should of got a 10/10 the only problem stopping that is the game is too damn short. that's it, nothing more, just to damn short
Also everything was recycled from the first game, including the playable characters. It was a fun game but I wouldn’t even give it a seven on a good day.
Awe it's mint got high an buzzed off this game for hours
How do u do johns ubber kick

Loved riptide hella fun.
I have it on ps3, but since there are so many issues with it, i'll guess i will get it for pc too. And Logan for the win!
How about the loading screens for the ps3??
Nice review
People who hate this game just doesn't have friends. It never gets old to kick zombies off the high ledges or just beat and kick the shit out off them.
So, basicly, you can either get this game, which is essentially the exact same game as the last one. Or get the first one for a much cheaper price.
now this is a fair review not like ign who only seems to care about deep story and interesting characters :)
"dead island is like a zombie, hard to put down, its creepy, and it has a few bugs in it; but it will keep you coming back for more"
Great review GamesRadar
This is what I subbed for
Loved your review! Dont know why this game is getting bashed. You show,how truly amazing this game is!
yea after they add more areas, ive got 3 trophys left to get :D
Do you play on PC because if you do you can get it for 20 bucks
I got this on the humble bundle, so it was worth it.
Zombie Jesus!!

Fair game was hoping for dead island riptide is similar. Deffinetly worth the 50$ , their are much worse games than this for that price.
4/5 is very generous. I love this game but its technical issues and overall laziness of the developers doesn't put it over a 3/5.
then what is it?
WHY AM I HERE
this game is awsome buy it
I want to be in a zombie bashing group XBL :)
" Look! a Jesus!"
This game's not a 5. lol

everyone who spends money
This game deserves a 6
Ps3 gets major frame rate issues for riptide also I'd call it a 3.5
I think is a good game.. Dont hate me :c
Its not perfect buy i'm about 5 hours in and having a blast. Nowhere near as glitchy as original Dead Island so far, just some frame rate issues i can live with. I'm giving it a 7.5 so far.
its his opinion.. jeez.
Star rating 2.5/5
You think they destroyed it?, watch the gamespot review.... Terrible
DEAD ISLAND 1 = D.I. + D.I.R.
4 out of 5 stars? That's a joke right?
looks so fun nothing new but who cares i like games which are fun
see this review was good it took the good and the bad in consideration and not just the bad (gamespot) if your having fun then who gives a fuck about the story, or that its to similar to the first one
i know right they should have given it 5 m
Why are you telling me what I will like and hate?
I just hate the cheesy voice acting
This game is HORRIBLE! I swear is just leftover crap from the first game that was made into its own game. They should be ashamed that they released this. And this reviewer couldn't be more wrong. NOTHING is fixed from the first game.
gaint bomb 2 stars hate it
He's wrong about everything he says.
People who don't want to drop $40 on a piece of shit.
LoL
More like dead island ripoff
To be honest, riptide had alot different from DI 1. And you do know what ripoff means right?
i give this shit pile a -999
The characters are still awfull tho.
This game was so dissapointing
