Dead Island

[CHHš Myria]

I think this game deserves a topic~



For those who may not be aware of the game already (or are curious about what to expect from it) I recommend checking this trailer.

The game just released on the 6th here in North America.

Myself and 3 great friends were set and pre-loaded the minute it released online for 12 uninterrupted, live-streamed hours of 4 player Cooperative gameplay. (Would've posted sooner with a link if I'd just known ahead of time one of us would be hosting a stream )

I walked away having had the best twelve hours of my life!

This game caters to a smaller target audience to begin with, so I can't go saying that this may be the same experience for anyone else. But one thing is clear: Play this with your friends. (Else i fear you will miss the funnest aspect of the game.)

I play on Steam myself, if anyone wants to play together PM me and we can swap ID's to meet up, I see myself investing maaaaaaany more hours into this game, best not to go alone.

That looks pretty sweet. I have been thinking of picking up L4D2 again since i sold it stupidly for AVP when AVP came out :/

This might be even better.

Just a thought if governments of the world knew that zombies infested an island would they not give them a bright sunny (man made of course) day? 20 million degrees would be about right, rinse repeat and declare the island a military test site oh like Bikini atoll.

Meh atmospheric 'testing' was banned globally about a few decades back. Thats why all tests are done underground. Though I suppose an underground explosion could sink an island.

Why not just capsize it?

Since when does a "Global agreement" mean anything to the governments on this rock. Can I point out that the league of nations failed miserably when The nations decided that they where going to do like they wanted despite Global agreement very much in tune with the UN today. Especially if not doing so could contaminate the world population and cause the zombie apocalypse.

I'm withdrawing from this conversation lol. Not going there dude.

I do not blame you, talking bad about geopolitics and the dirtbags involved always raises someone's hackles so I will let this die a quick and ugly death! What was it my grandparents said? Oh yes, politics and religion should not be discussed in polite company. However, this being polite company could be up for question also. Nuff said

Only tried the singleplayer so far... the fighting system is damn fun and the graphics are quite impressive.

I imagine it'll be a real blast, coop with some friends.

I'm liking it too, only played a couple hours last night but it was definitely different from every other zombie game I've played (Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead mostly), and in a good way.  As opposed to fighting dozens of zombies at the same time with lawnmowers, or mowing them down with machine guns, its all about survival and finesse to using your melee weapons on just a few to several zombies at a time.  Plus the atmosphere is genuinely creepier than those other zombie games as well.

General consensus then, Worth the money or not?

I am thinking of picking up a copy.

If your computer can handle running it, and you've got friends to play with (or don't mind PUB/Co-Op) I think its a must-have title. I've gotten my moneys worth and much, much more!

And on top of that, I live with my boyfriend and he HATES zombie games, and was especially opposed to some of the things Dead Island includes, but he has been watching me play with my best friends from start to finish, and he just told me that he wants to play it too now. XD

This game is amazing!

Yeah, finally managed to get a US-Steam code of this game, since steam decided to be dicks again and not sell it to german players.

Looks great so far, can't wait to try it out coop with some friends.

I haven't done any co-op yet, but its still really fun. I may try some co-op later, but it would have to be with randoms since my brother doesn't have the pc to run it as he did with left 4 dead
