this game is broken as shit on consoles, fyi
there's comparisons to be made with another popular co-op zombie game's sequel but that one at least had a non-zero number of gameplay changes
I might get it later on, dead island is broken and shitty but so fun with a bunch of friends.
riptide is even more broken, seriously they managed, somehow

Looks like a great expansion.
for some reason i really loved the first one, so i'll probably pick this up it's only 40 bucks, so no big deal if it ends up being a carbon copy of the last game.
I tried the first one I couldn't get past the nasty voice acting and the fact that the punching animation was just a pair of pipe-cleaner banana arms flailing around

[QUOTE=treythepunkid;40375704]I believed this to be true until I played Aliens: Colonial Marines with a friend...[/QUOTE] The gameplay was shit but I really haven't laughed harder in a game than during the stealth section.
[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;40375601]anything is fun with friends.[/QUOTE] Usually yeah but dead island is [i]perfect[/i] It gives you a constant stream of things to laugh at - the plot, the bugs, the animations... while still maintaining a fairly fun and somewhat functional gameplay.
is there any video where total biscuit doesnt nag about fov sliders?
[QUOTE=Fofilolipop;40375858]is there any video where total biscuit doesnt nag about fov sliders?[/QUOTE] That's the longest rant I've heard him commentate on, but understandable given the horrid default this game (and the previous game) has and the developer's refusal to add in a slider for either of these games despite the overwhelming request by the gaming community. [editline]22nd April 2013[/editline] I couldn't play much of the previous game until I manually set the fov to 80, playing at 62 just hurts the experience, not by much but it's an annoyance that's easily fixed.
[QUOTE=Fofilolipop;40375858]is there any video where total biscuit doesnt nag about fov sliders?[/QUOTE] He has every right imo to complain about FOV sliders, and all gamers should nag about it. It is, infact, a requirement in games. A selection of games suffer headaches and nausea because developers is too lazy or don't care about FOV sliders, or even setting the default FOV to 90.
Must be a certain selection of people that get sick from low fps, because I don't, I enjoy higher FPS but never get sick of low
I found that I had the most fun with DI by turning analog controls on. This game doesn't need precision aiming so with a controller it's fine. It made the melee combat controls similar to Condemned. With the xbox gamepad you held L to ready the weapon and then used the right analog stick to swing in any direction, it was badass. I've never had so much fun smashing heads with crowbars
Always on mic, This was a issue in the first game and it was later patched. Now they did the same mistake on Riptide?

[editline]22nd April 2013[/editline] [I]stay above the influence of social interaction[/I][/QUOTE] [i]Friends, not even once.[/i] My brother once introduced me to a friend. From then on, I just couldn't stop. I needed more and more friends. I was getting friends with almost everyone I met, it was ridiculous. Even when I was alone at home, I couldn't stop making friends. Steam, Facebook, Origin. All programs that try to get you hooked by giving you a list of friends that you can only see when you open that program. it's completely immoral.
[QUOTE=Fofilolipop;40375858]is there any video where total biscuit doesnt nag about fov sliders?[/QUOTE] If I buy a game that's locked at 60 FOV then its basically unplayable for me thanks to the headaches I get from playing it. So yes he does need to always mention this, since for me and others its a deal breaker.
i got an early access code the game sucks, basically a glorified mission pack that they charge you 40 euro for
I wish Techland just hadn't screwed up Call of Juarez and just made a proper, Wild West sequel.
Don't know why he's pissed about max refresh rate, it's not like his monitor can show 300 frames per second.
[QUOTE=Deep;40375545]I might get it later on, dead island is broken and shitty but so fun with a bunch of friends.[/QUOTE] I got the original and the single player DLC for £4 in all and thought it was a lot of fun. I've got to say, that Ryder White DLC, if they made the plot as coherent as that in the main game it would have been much better received. There is pretty much no plot in the main game now I think of it, all the answers are in the DLC and just make me get annoyed at the main characters for being duped by The Voice. (No spoilers. You need a plot for them). This is better than the actual game. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbrKIDv9wZ4[/media]
This game looks terrible
[QUOTE=Roll_Program;40376549]Don't know why he's pissed about max refresh rate, it's not like his monitor can show 300 frames per second.[/QUOTE] I think he misunderstood something since refresh rate is only applied when vsync is on(which is off for him)
[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;40375601]anything is fun with friends.[/QUOTE] Operation Racoon City was shit even with friends.
[QUOTE=RoadOfGirl;40375572]riptide is even more broken, seriously they managed, somehow[/QUOTE] not physically possible no way
Did he just say his max refresh rate is 300? i don't think he knows what refresh rate is.
