Dead Island

    I think I just peed myself... reminds me of Half-Life deathmatch animations

    This is full body awareness btw (like in F.E.A.R.), it's not meant to be thirdperson.

    Are you sure? Quite clearly the video says you're wrong.

    Techland better be committed to patching this game. It's got such potential, but such issues, and people are already delving through the guts of the .pak files and fixing issues themselves, for example:

    Someone's figured out how to enable analog combat controls with the mouse. Unfortunately using this workaround prevents me from being able to accept quests, but I can wander around and kill zombies with aimed swings just fine. There's also another setting out there to mute ingame voice (data/scripts/audio/audioproperties.scr, find "coop", turn the audio multiplier to 0).

    Also DI turning way down the audio of every other source in windows whenever I start a game is annoying. There's not really all that much atmosphere here, audio-wise, what with it being a multiplayer game, so occasionally I want to listen to podcasts while playing.

    I'm still on the fence about getting this.

    The game is really quite good. Had to jump through many hoops to get it working right and play well, but it was worth it. And you really should play with a pad if you have one, the PC controls are pretty crap and movement feels pretty meh with mouse and keyboard. The pad is where it's at. Should be even better with the patches coming!

    I've liked the game so far, however, I have a pet peeve: Zombies do not break doors down and simply "forget" about you as soon as you close a door in their face.

    Also, I've gotten to the city part and damn.... difficulty ramps up! There are now consistent groups of 5 to 7 zombies to fight at a time, very different from the lone wanderers you usually find in the hotel and surrounding areas.

    not so impressive ingame.

    friend and i are trying to play it on PC atm, dunno why i pissed money away on this piece of shit. devs too lazy to include a way of not constantly transmitting incredibly annoying and loud low quality voice from other players.

    good job faggots. just what i wanted to hear on a calm sunday afternoon, an unrelenting wave of buzzing and crackling. if you are going to be retarded enough to leave umutable voice transmission (hurr durr wut are PC gaymurs? dey don't have xbox or piss triple lol wut?) - then AT LEAST make the sound quality better than the shit we had 20 years ago.

    when your god damn grand-daddies were getting rounded up by germans they had better sound quality over wireless radios from warsaw to berlin.

    fuck this game. we are having to install a third party app to fuck around with our sound cards to get over this problem. cause i bet no patches are on their way.. programmers are too busy updating their anti-feminist blogs.

    You have just ragequit, don't you ?

    Despite how he made the criticisms (I lolled) he's right about them. I've stopped playing the game entirely until the next patch (SUPPOSEDLY there actually is one coming). I really want to like Dead Island, I do. I just really don't want to deal with the experience ruining shit like the always on voip, when I've got lots of other stuff to play.

    Rick, why do you feel the need to be as obnoxiously offensive as possible with how you put everything? Honestly man, stop being so god damned abrasive. We're all capable of openly being asses but unlike you we have some degree of self-control so we don't go around fucking off every person we happen to pass like it's some badge of pride.

    MapCore might be exceedingly lenient with sharing viewpoints, etc but that doesn't mean you can start being a disrespectful knob. You know full well MapCore houses a large number of Europeans and many of us — myself included — did indeed have great grandfathers rounded up and killed.

    The hilarious thing is I actually really think you're a great guy to have around the community, but I can't defend bullshit comments like the above and completely stand by Frie's choice of action.

    With that addressed I hope you choose to come back and impose some limits on yourself. But if you can't and choose to leave or be banned permanently should a third strike occur that's something I can live with.
