Was playing 4 player coop with some bros, was a good time. [editline]8th September 2011[/editline] there was so many places to just fuck around in, we didnt even get to the lighthouse but played for hours

You're supposed to hit Z when the meter is full, but the meter is [I]never[/I] full. The highest I ever see it is about 80%, but it never completely fills and it's always lower again the next time I look at it.

My friend keeps asking me how I level so much faster than him (we've done the same amount of quests), the truth is that killing zombies is WAY more lucrative XP-wise than questing.

Once it's full it's full indefinitely, so you're likely mistaken about something.

JESUS CHRIST HOW MUCH BOOZE DOES THE FUCKER WANT? I swear, his liver will kill him before the zombies do.

15 i think

Most of my Level Ups have been from completing a quest or killing a Thug. [QUOTE=JoeSibilant;32187614]Raise Rage by killing zombies.

Because I know for a fact I have never seen mine full nor have I used it.

Shit, I cannot decide between Sam B and Purna. I've been staring at the character selection screen for like 20 minutes.

game is so fucking good now, exploring the jungles found 2 assault rifles and a shotgun

I've even gotten killed with a full Rage meter and respawned ready to shoot some bitches. Zombies are giant bags of XP. You can break the same arm on a zed in at least 5 places for 15-30XP each time, and then still get XP when it finally dies. With Purna's XP-boost skill, I can get 30XP per bone break and ~80XP for a walker kill, which means over 200XP per zombie.

You can still do awesome melee kills and you'll get sweet buffs too. Purna is really not as gun-centric as people think.

[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;32187986]PURNA. You can still do awesome melee kills and you'll get sweet buffs too. Purna is really not as gun-centric as people think.[/QUOTE] Well I was wanting a kind of Jack-of-all-Trades type of character, so I'll go with Purna. Thanks!

[t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8943308/2011-09-08_00006.jpg[/t] Loving this game with friends. Feels like Shaun of the Dead ate Borderlands and made it a comedy tragic.

[QUOTE=Betakta;32188037]Well I was wanting a kind of Jack-of-all-Trades type of character, so I'll go with Purna. Thanks![/QUOTE] Logan is the real jack of all trades, since you can spec into blunt, throwing, or sharp weapons. Purna is more average combat, but really cool meta-gaming skills that interact with each other.

The prologue won't load now fuuuu-

Aww, I went out into the ocean hoping for the zombie sharks I hear about. Just got taken back to the Lighthouse. Bullshit.

So is this game any good?

[QUOTE=Rellow;32188362]So is this game any good?[/QUOTE]Yeah, it really is. There are some issues that pop up on occasion, but its still incredibly fun.

Am I the only one who's having some trouble with the way the shadows look in the game? Like on objects its like there's only a few colours being used and it looks weird.

[QUOTE=Rellow;32188362]So is this game any good?[/QUOTE] Aside from some technical issues this game is great. Sucks that they had to rush it out bugged and get a bad rep for it.

I have a weird bug where when I walk into a room, the lighting in the room disappears. It only happens indoors.

Could i run this with my 5870?

[QUOTE=Baggerbean;32188446]Am I the only one who's having some trouble with the way the shadows look in the game? Like on objects its like there's only a few colours being used and it looks weird.[/QUOTE] Increase the shadow option that isn't just called Shadows, I can't remember the name.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;32188733]Increase the shadow option that isn't just called Shadows, I can't remember the name.[/QUOTE] It's all on the highest quality, Shadows: High Shadow Mapping: 1024.
