Dead Island is out

After the patches it really isn't that buggy. A few small problems here and there but so far I have not found anything that is game breaking. hector530 has the perfect way of explaining it. It is really fun as well as being a fairly engaging game, but its unpolished. I would recommend it though as the PC version has favorable reviews and I am enjoying it :happy: (last time I checked it only had 1 review under 80% according to gamerankings for the PC version vs the xbox version being around 72% average)

How bad are the bugs in this? I'm tempted but don't want to spend more time getting it working than I do playing.

 

well there's small bugs, then there's game killing bugs like i got and many others have gotten it too

no fix for this as of yet and it doesn't look like deep silver is gonna patch it anytime soon.

Thanks for the links, I think I'll wait to see if they bother fixing it.

They're halting work on their DLC for now, so I reckon we're probably going to see a big patch sometime soon.

 

Well I've taken a chance and bought it, fingers crossed they are going to patch it. Anyway having dealt with Bethesda and their brokenware over the years I doubt there is much this can throw at me that I've not seen before.

I have to admit, the delay in releasing this patch is starting to bug me slightly, but I guess at this point it doesn't really matter that much for me, as I'm almost done with the game. The only bugs I've encountered is the odd clipping issue, other than that that, only issues brought over due to the game being a port, like sometimes getting unresponsive controls while driving, or the weapon-switching mechanics. Other than those, it's still the best game I've played in a long while. I've put in about 35 hours by now, and that's the most time I've spent on a single game this whole year.

I've not really run into any major issues, the weapon switching is annoying especially when it switches to alcohol and the less said about the saving system the better. :mad:

 

I've been using this to back up saves and fix the awful FOV, desaturation and shadows, it's quite handy.

My game has bugged out, I'll try to avoid spoilers. I'm stuck in a area that I can't escape from with only one quest that is refusing to progress, sadly I forgot to back my saves up and thanks to the idiotic saving system I'm going to have to start the game again. Needless to say I'm not amused. :dry:
