I just bought Dead Island

Does anyone who's played it want to share their experience with it?

Reviews are very mixed, but I played the demo and decided it was worth it for $10.

I played a little bit of it, be prepared for extremely "cheap" AI and if you've got it for PC you'll experience horrendous controls.

 

By cheap AI I mean you'll have cleared out an area of zombies, go to your menu to heal/equip an item/whatever and all of a sudden there will a ton of zombies that magically have found you and start to ambush.

 

The controls were made for a console, and if you're playing on the PC you'll quickly realize they didn't take the time to optimize the controls.

What are you in for? A horrible experience.

 

General gameplay is tedious, upgrade interface is plain stupid, Splinter Cell: Conviction had better AI, the vehicles are stiff and hard to drive, and to top it off: the hands down worst imitation Australian accent the world has ever seen.

 

EDIT: The accent would generally be tolerable, if just about every single person didnt have it.

I think I avoided a lot of the problems, as I installed Dead Island Helper before playing, and I decided to use a 360 controller due to the terrible pc controls. It was also waaaaaaay too easy, so I made a simple mod to make most zombies (including the heavy classes) into sprinters, and to multiply their damage about 500%. It's getting a little too easy again, even in single player, but it's much better than before.

 

Then, the linear paths started to annoy me. I made a mod to increase jump height and mobility, and I modeled the values after Still Alive Parkour for Dead Island. Now I can go over hedges and whatnot.

Dear god, how do Aussies sound like that?

 

We dont.

 

I know, the only accent that they knew was Croc Dundee

You've shattered my entire reality, brokenenergy!
