Dead Island (2011)
Xbox 360, PS3, PC
Release date: US - 6th September, Worldwide - 9th September.
- First-person melee combat
- 4 player co-op
- weapon customization
- set on an open world tropical island
- RPG elements for character development
- hordes of gruesome zombies
Highly anticipated game mostly due to the
trailer
.
If you liked Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2's story, and Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas gameplay, then this game is for you.
Mind you, if you're a PC gamer then you will experience a bunch of glitches, including but not limited to vsync, crossfire/sli, animations. The initial release on Steam was even a dev build for Xbox 360, so tread carefully. IIRC, the dev build bug got sorted out, not so sure about the rest.
PS3 review by IGN
If you want to buy the game, the cheapest I found in UK was GreenManGaming, they offer it for £23.96 if you use a discount code "READY-UPDEA-ISLAN"
P.S. Yes I know I'm probably going to get flak for technically advertising a digital distribution site. And YouTube. And IGN.
If you are going to buy it, or already own it, and are in Europe, hit me up on Steam for Co-Op once the game unlocks (9th September).

Wowhead, so I'm sure they won't mind too much

It's not like I spam the forum with referral links. I'm actually giving advice on acquiring discounted games, I guess even that won't be OK by some people's books.

Well no one has complained yet. Is Dead Island co-op fixed yet for Steam?

I don't know, the game isn't unlocked for me yet (I'm non-US).

I'm just going to ask here:
Has anyone found that damn plane crash sight? I've looked all over the place...

Well they don't care that I've been linking to Steam. I think it's fine.

Fair warning to anyone hoping to be ripping through zombies with machine guns:
I am halfway through the main story and have only now gotten guns. They aren't very useful against zombies eiher, as a lot of ammo goes to wast if you can't get a nice headshot (which is very hard usually.)
Better off saving bullets for when you need them and sticking to the good old iron pipe for zombies.

The game is melee oriented. AND ITS @#$%ING AMAZING

I've not run into any real bugs (only things on my side).
I just got to the second act and whoa. This game just stepped it up. Took it from the beautiful tropical paradise that is the resort and places you in the township of Moresby. It's horrifying! Not the zombies but the conditions of the town. Shame that this is quite closely based on PNG

Are you playing the PC version? 'Cause that's what i hear is the bad one--and it's what I'd be playing, so I'm reluctant to play without a few patches.
If it's not as bad as they say, I might try it out after I'm done with my D3 marathon.

I am playing PC. PAL version though.
I'm finding it comparable to Diablo with the acts aswell. I've only now (once I found the second base in act 2) become confident enough to run through the streets without fear
