Dead Island - Games - Facepunch Forum

Anyone know how to chance punching speed, and how to add elemental stuff to punching like in that Fist of the Dead Star video? :v:

Anyone here ever play gauntlet legends arcade or N64? I modded my sledgehammer with the magic wand mod and everytime I electro-smash something I yell "THUNDER HAMMER". My roommates are pissed.

I think I got blew up while driving into a suicider. I was just ramming zambies and then when I hit that one I just all the sudden die and then when I respawn my truck is just gone. I don't know what the hell went on there.

Still waiting for this to go on sale on steam. I don't know when it will, but what I do know is that right when I buy it it will go on sale the next day.

Finished the game. I loved the gameplay, not so much the story. They really did have huge potential for the story. Each of the four main characters had deep, interesting backgrounds, and they could have been explored in-game. I think they could have made Jin a much more interesting charater too. She should have been more of a sarcastic, witty woman, which is made worse when her father dies than a bipolar, cardboard half naked girl. Come on Techland. Do Dead Island 2 like you did the teaser trailer. I wanted an emotional, intricate story, and a big variation in quests. Instead the story's very generic, the quests repetitive. But the gameplay was stellar, and the sounds are really cool. The background noises in the city never quite stopped being unnerving.

I somehow lost the ability to use my inventory/upgrade menu/quest screen after grabbing a bottle of alcohol with a full inventory. It decided to drop all of my magnets instead of swapping with the weapon I was carrying. [IMG]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/560919718361255563/773AB8AFDD8DDE52593C5CE0DC80258AF53DEC5D/[/IMG]

Did the duplication glitch until I had 15 of this one machete, usually kills in 2-4 hits, using it until I can duplicate my 800+ damage katana :dance: [editline]14th September 2011[/editline] Oh, and developer craft 666 is great.

I wonder when they'll release a patch that fixes USB Headset problems... Its really starting to get on my nerves.

[QUOTE=TopHatLayton;32281787]it had plenty of story it explained how the only child on the island died[/QUOTE] Clearly was an adult oriented resort. What family friendly place books Sam B. for a rap show?

[QUOTE=SuperHoboMan;32279005]Anyone know how to chance punching speed, and how to add elemental stuff to punching like in that Fist of the Dead Star video? :v:[/QUOTE] In Inventory.scr (it's in Data0.pak, I'll assume you know how to install mods and such), do a search for Fist, SwingSpeed (lower is faster) is how you can change your punching speed, and if you want elemental punches, change DamageType from DamageType_Punch1 to one of the following... [code]DamageType_Unknown DamageType_All DamageType_Cut DamageType_Bullet DamageType_Blast DamageType_Blast_Special DamageType_Electric DamageType_Heat DamageType_CollisionFromGameScript DamageType_CollisionFromPhysics DamageType_Drowning DamageType_Rope DamageType_Fire DamageType_Punch1 DamageType_Punch2 DamageType_Punch3 DamageType_Punch_Ko DamageType_Arrow DamageType_Lasso DamageType_Blunt DamageType_Bite DamageType_Push DamageType_Chainsaw DamageType_Bleeding DamageType_Poison DamageType_SuiciderBlast DamageType_Impact DamageType_Kick DamageType_Atract DamageType_BrainBlast[/code] Blast punches are quite fun. I started tinkering with modding since I beat the game. Speaking of which, I beat the game last night. I did all possible (As far as I know) side quests and it took me 46 hours to beat. This is my favorite game of 2011 so far, and probably will be until Skyrim comes out. I'm probably gonna continue my New Game + or start a new one as Sam B.

I'm sure this is late since I play so slow, but this is a Walking Dead reference. [img_thumb]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/578934116871288697/61E3ECEC42A42F765509443D34B3E78360010A22/[/img_thumb]

lol okay I won't post more "win a game videos". Properly buy it sometime down the track.

[QUOTE=usaokay;32279663]Finally beaten the main campaign the story sucks.[/QUOTE] That people are disagreeing with you and giving you dumbs scare me. a game that has good/decent fun gameplay and they start foaming like a rabid fanboys around it. Sure don't want much from games today huh? It's a horrible story, Fun game though 7/10.

Honestly, in a zombie game I could care less about a decent story, I'm playing it to kill zombies and have fun, and Dead Island has plenty of both. All I want from games is entertainment, which is kinda the entire point of games, no? All games have flaws, if this was a game with a fantastic story but shitty gameplay, it would be much worse off.

Welp, finished Act 4 with some help from a level 2 player :downs:

Of course good gameplay is important.[/QUOTE] Nah... the story is pretty much awful, gameplay makes up for it though, you're right on that one.

Fucking loving the game so far Can somone explain how co-op works to me, i joined my friends game and did shit and then lost the progress, this always happens even if you join up when at the same part?

[QUOTE=FuzzyPoop;32282902]Nah... the story is pretty much awful, gameplay makes up for it though, you're right on that one.[/QUOTE] The story isn't the worst out there. It's not going to win any awards and it didn't blow my mind but I didn't think it was as terrible as everyone wants it to be.

Just because you're having a little fun doesn't mean i can't talk about the obvious flaws that make it kinda annoying to play through.

[QUOTE=NoobieWafer223;32281668]I wonder when they'll release a patch that fixes USB Headset problems... Its really starting to get on my nerves.[/QUOTE] I fixed it with my G35's by changing the audio to speakers, turning on Stereo mix and listening to the Stereo Mix with my G35. Got rid of the static completely, and doesn't impact anything. If you're not sure what Stereo Mix is I can go more in-depth if you want.

I guess i'm just too old for this shit, standards in videogame storytelling has dropped by miles. Did Crysis have a good storyline in your head too? Because that was bad, and this is worse if you ask me. It's a fun turd, but it's the most recent game that's taken me out of the experience countless times because of the terrible writing and voice acting. Someday, when your out of your premature fanboy knickers you'll see what i meant i guess it's always like this when people get something new to play. RATE ME! GUYS. I CARE. to be honest, i'd like some verbal comments with points on why it's not a steaming piece of poo.

[QUOTE=xDrTran;32283063]Oh yeah, I loved Mario's story. Those were the days...[/QUOTE] Really? there's a difference from a game that tries to have a story, and pure gameplay. A little too slow in the head for a comeback huh buddy, nice try. I meant the DOS Era/2000's 90's.
