[QUOTE=ChicagoMobster;32156961]Just my luck, I went to Target to pick up some school clothes and I bought Dead Island as well, so I got home to put away my clothes, I get ready to play, and I can't find it, I checked every where. Well someone just got a free Dead Island, hope they have fun with it. :/[/QUOTE] Aww dude, that sucks... Can't you do anything? [editline]7th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=postmanX3;32156965]Well great, I just crashed thrice in a row. I am playing this game over, and over, and over again. That patch really made things worse. The worst part is, there is an excellent game hiding underneath all these layers of absolute brokenness. I'm just beginning to suspect Techland will never bother to fix it.[/QUOTE] I haven't crashed once and my hardware is shit.

Game doesn't run well on this laptop. Oh well, that's to be expected. Still very fun.

Some people like myself aren't encountering that much fuss, so it's just some optimisation that's needed. The xbox release seem to handle pretty well I don't think any developer wants this many angry fans, they're probably working non-stop now. Just wait a couple of days, jeeez go outside or something.

[QUOTE=Warborq;32157059]It's been 2 days now, calm down. you guys, it's obvious to see some people like myself aren't encountering that much fuss. Just wait a couple of days, jeeez go outside or something.[/QUOTE] One day, actually. Which doesn't make it any better. Like I've said, there's no excuse for selling broken products. It's just absurd. And so far the only response we've gotten from Techland has been uploading the "intended" version which is actually worse than the development build. No mention of future patches, notice.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;32156421]Only problem is that my friends and I can't connect to each other consistently.[/QUOTE] So far my biggest problems are that one, and the fact that I cannot equip weapons from my inventory. I must throw them down and then pick them back up to equip them.

I've been trying to get the Can't Touch This achievement (killing 15 zombies with a hammer without getting hurt) but there's always that one infected that screams and comes out of FUCKING NOWHERE, and then my game freezes, and when it unfreezes I'm on the ground and have to repair my hammer and kill 15 more zombies. FUCK.

His ass is on a silver platter too now i would guess. i mean it's costing them alot of money.

They probably DIDN'T want to. I can't imagine why they would. But what matters is that they [i]did.[/i] They sold me a game that works shakily at best, and unplayably at worst. No excuse for that, no how much is fixed in the coming weeks.

I can't even continue with the story because that scumbag lifeguard won't take my juice I brought to him after going to both gas stations..

I mean, fuck, I dunno. I'm just tired of buying games that don't fucking work. Seems like every time I buy a PC game I have to jump through three flaming hoops and skydive from a space shuttle to get it to work. The only exception I can even think of was Human Revolution. Wow, my automerge is not having a lot of luck in this thread.

Shits going downhill for gaming, but it's also alot harder to make them nowadays Still no excuse though, your right.

I turned co-op off, and lowered my shadows down to normal. Game runs better now.

Enough talk about the performance for right now I want them to release a clean version of who do your voodoo (clean as in no sound from the other characters or the fade outs or whatever) It'd make me happy.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;32157116]So far my biggest problems are that one, and the fact that I cannot equip weapons from my inventory. I must throw them down and then pick them back up to equip them.[/QUOTE] Double click the items in your inventory, then click weapon slot on the right.

Is it just me or sometimes when you hit at the exact same time it kinda blocks? Like parry?

no stutters at ALL if you set it to LAN CO-OP. been playing smooth for about 2 hours where as before every 20 secs STUTTERS would happen. fun game.

So how does the coop work in this game? Ive been thinking of getting it.

Bigger budget more support.

[QUOTE=GetBent;32157237]Double click the items in your inventory, then click weapon slot on the right.[/QUOTE] I'll have to try that later. I was told you click them, then click "Equip", but that doesn't do anything for me.

[QUOTE=Warborq;32157376]Sqaure enix is behind human revolution, bigger budget more support.[/QUOTE] And yet we the consumer are paying the same price for both products despite the tremendous gap in quality. Maybe they should have started at budget prices if they intend to deliver budget games.

[QUOTE=David Tennant;32157373][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78bj6ebUVqA[/media] Enjoy, I'm playing Sam B just because of the song.[/QUOTE] I love you.

Couple of things I dislike so far is mostly just the shadows on your character, the third person animations are terrible and seeing them every so often just takes you out of the game. And the mini-game for bashing doors, just annoying.

I got the xbox version, and there are a crazy number of glitches. Mostly to do with collision detection. But they go no further to taking anything away form the crazy amount of fun this game is. There is nothing quite like my and my friend maneuvering around a big strong zombie tag-team smashing his head around with various weapons. Or the excitement I got from me and him running along rooftops in a city section, when he was ahead of me. I fell off the roof, almost died, and saw that there were about 15 zombies all around me. With nothing but almost broken weapons I ran through the alleyways and streets, trying to catch up to him, picking up more zombies as I ran as fast as I could hoping my stamina wouldn't run out before I got to safety. Glitches couldn't make that any less fun.

How the fuck do I get rid of the steam overlay arrow intruding itself into my game? Every where I look the arrow moves.
