Dead Island:

That’s the “fury” special the character has. I chose the white football player dude. His specialty is throwing stuff, which I don’t do often.

how does it work? you got to fill up that circle in front of the life meter?

Yeah u fill.the.fury meter circle. Her specialty is firearms. Join my online game on ps3 I can give u.a.gun

no cable or DSL where i live. All my internet is over a 3g modem. sometimes it works ok. people don’t like to play with me cause of the lag

you’re better off with no net. most of the issues are online related.

were you able to DL the first update for it yet?

And cossey…throw more often. The weapons do not degrade when you throw them at the zombies. I RARELY swung the weapons at them and didn’t have to repair that often. Only when I was surrounded by 4-5 infected did I start looking for high ground and go swinging. Get 4-5 good cleavers/machetes/etc/etc and throw them, especially at the infected who run at you like mad. The heavier the weapon, the more chance it’ll do a critical hit and/or knock them off their feet.

I used the same character up until i deleted the game. Had a bad ass devastating moring star and a debilitating sledgehammer that I’d throw. the mace would be a one shot kill on just about any walker/infected/thug zombie and would knock them back on their ass 15-20 feet if it didn’t kill them.

I wonder if that’s why I haven’t encountered any issues, I’m playing solo. Not online.
Will throw more then. Have some sick weapons too.

i had to down load a system update, it kept telling me to do a update for the game as well, after i did the system update it stopped telling me to do the game update for some reason

i just use weapons till thier done, maybe thats why i’m getting my ass kicked.

I’ve taken to just throwing molotovs at the thugs

So who’s house am I coming over to check it out? :excited

I’m free all night dude, you know where I live.

im back to playing madden

i’ve been keeping an eye on this game also, but seeing as how there are still a bunch of bugs i might hold off another week. or i might impulsively buy it from steam after i get done writing this sentence, who knows…

from everything you guys have said though, it seems to be a pretty kick ass game.

I’m not a zombie fanatic like many, but I’ve seen the game play videos on YouTube and it’s looking to be a lot of fun. Great mix of RPG and shooter/destroyer.

It feels like a fast paced Fallout 3.

yea that’s what intrigues me, because i love fallout, so that’s kinda what’s pulling me in.

I loved Fallout as well, and while it did fit with the theme of the game, somewhat rarely encountering opposition it did make it seem a bit slow.

Even Morrowind was a little more fast paced.

I’m going over to Cossey’s tonight to check it out first hand.

NO FUCKS GIVEN

ive officially experienced every issue. Got a a point in a quest where i died spawned me across the map away from truck. Every restart gives me 5 seconds to get across the map and back in the truck, yeah haha not happening fails and starts over. can no longer progress. Fuck you game.

Game sounds buggy as all fuck

It is. So many people on JTV that were streaming it, walked away from it because it got so bad.

i can’t tell if the save game is having an issue on mine or not. i smoke a lot of weed

what system? they’re currently addressing the bugs on the PC and xbox versions and don’t have a solid time as to when they’re going to release another patch for the ps3.

I’m looking to play again, but won’t until it’s fixed.
