raatorotta Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I was wondering about this game to buy it or not. It looks lot like fallout 3 but with zombies. Has anyone played Dead Island and what do you think of it? Should i buy it? I already bought two new games this month (sacred 2 and clive barker's jericho) so I'm not sure do I have time for any other games, but incase Dead Island is good, I'm gonna buy it and play later.

JimboUK Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Its not bad, its a little buggy and unbalanced but still good fun. That said I wouldn't pay full price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hector530 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 its a fun rpg, but it plays nothing like fallout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halororor Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yeah, I had lots of fun with it and spent about 120 hours on the game, but it's not exactly freeform like Fallout. I'd say it's more like Borderlands with zombies and a really amazing, gritty, in-your-face melee system. You get placed on different maps where you can complete various missions at will in the order you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualBlack Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I hadn't played the game in a while, but when I went back to it I was impressed how much they fixed stuff and I was glad they balanced out the kicking mechanics. Its a bit shallow feeling, but if you like borderlands this is just as good :happy: . I would recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoba333 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) It's a lot more fun if you find some friends to play it with. Edited January 15, 2012 by yoba333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halororor Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 It's a lot more fun if you find some friends to play it with. I agree with this, but on the other hand it's a lot more challenging, scary and suspenseful if you play alone. :P The moment I had a friend with me, the scare factor disappeared entirely. Not even the sewers were scary with a friend, despite people calling it the scariest part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubjectProphet Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I wouldn't recommend it. It didn't quite fit the horror genre, more of the action genre. Still a good game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halororor Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Heh, even as more of an action game it has its horror moments, but yeah, don't go in expecting a horror game. Although I have to admit, the hotel creeped me right the hell out. :O But all in all, the combat system is why you should try it. I haven't seen another game manage melee combat quite so well yet. In my humble opinion, it's even better than the melee combat in Dark Messiah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
