[QUOTE=Take_Opal;32053766]So, you asked me what is bad about this game. I gave you my opinion and you said "That's your opinion.". What are you trying to achieve?[/QUOTE] Nothing, sorry I'm tired and I thought you were one of the clairvoyant types who seem to be running rampant, I respect everyone's opinion of course. I'm just trying to have some people stop acting like they know everything about the game and how it's doomed to fail, but you're not one of em thankfully. It's fine if the game isn't your thing. [QUOTE=Leaf Runner]Agreed, he's looking to hard into things imo.[/QUOTE] I'm not looking hard into anything, I'm just trying to bring people to their senses and realize they can't know the game as a whole will be awful until they've played it.
I also find it dumb that your character has a bio and he reads it with his voice when you select him but he doesn't say shit during the game aside from "WHAT WE HAYYYV EERE?!"
[QUOTE=Yotrig;32053731]If you had actually read my post, you'd have noticed I was agreeing with you. 1) Just because a dev team has a bad record doesn't mean every game they make is doomed to fail, your claim is also an opinion. 2) Animations have looked fine to me, this isn't Oblivion or Fallout from what I've seen. 3) How is the shooting shitty? Looks just like L4D to me.[/QUOTE] The footage and viewmodels for guns looked really shitty early on, I'll admit, but from the latest gameplay footage shown and the trailer shows off much better looking ones.
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;32053797]I also find it dumb that your character has a bio and he reads it with his voice when you select him but he doesn't say shit during the game aside from "WHAT WE HAYYYV EERE?!"[/QUOTE] Thats just nitpicking now. Your main character never says anything but "RAAAAAAHHHHHHH" and "UGHHH" in Fallout and Oblivion but no one complains about that.
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;32053797]I also find it dumb that your character has a bio and he reads it with his voice when you select him but he doesn't say shit during the game aside from "WHAT WE HAYYYV EERE?!"[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's going to get really annoying unless it's as in depth as L4D's dialogue was, it'll be like Two Worlds 2 all over again. Hopefully we have a "Mute character" option. [QUOTE=Nohj;32053860]Thats just nitpicking now. Your main character never says anything but "RAAAAAAHHHHHHH" and "UGHHH" in Fallout and Oblivion but no one complains about that.[/QUOTE] He's most likely right actually, in gameplay videos out the character seems to say the same line over and over again when fighting zombies, it's gonna make my ears bleed if it's still that way on release. Pain noises are short and usually varied enough to not warrant a complaint. [QUOTE=Leaf Runner;32053809]The footage and viewmodels for guns looked really shitty early on, I'll admit, but from the latest gameplay footage shown and the trailer shows off much better looking ones.[/QUOTE] Yeah, the only thing that still looks weird is kicking but that's not a big deal to me.
[QUOTE=Nohj;32053860]Thats just nitpicking now. Your main character never says anything but "RAAAAAAHHHHHHH" and "UGHHH" in Fallout and Oblivion but no one complains about that.[/QUOTE] That is not nitpicking! They claim the characters all have personalities and quirks and all of them talk when you're not playing as them. It's dumb to not have them say anything but triggered phrases. Quit trying to defend this game so much, it has flaws.
Every game has flaws but something in each game brings in different people. People like different things than others. No more fighting about opinions, just isn't right and if you don't like the game and already have stated your opinion, be sure to happily leave and don't argue about it. Also, [b] I think [/b] the game looks fine as it is and yes it does have some flaws but I can play with them.
[QUOTE=Live2becool;32043242]Guys, a comic was released by Marvel! [url]https://subscriptions.marvel.com/digitalcomics/view_white.htm?iid=22757[/url] It actually makes the characters believable too![/QUOTE] I was not expecting Xian to be a spy, but I would of thought it'd be something they'd use as a plot twist in the game and not reveal it pre-release.
[QUOTE=SpartanApples;32054461]I was not expecting Xian to be a spy, but I would of thought it'd be something they'd use as a plot twist in the game and not reveal it pre-release.[/QUOTE] Yeah. I agree. It seems like you'd be learning about the characters and their history during the actual game rather than a week before it's out. I also agree with The-Spy. Every game does indeed have flaws and different strokes for different folks. However, complaining about those flaws doesn't change them and if the game isn't delivering to your expectations, don't buy it. It's simple. I haven't been following hype and I watched one video tonight from the guy who has it on his PS3. My jaw didn't drop but it held my interests and it looks fun to play with friends. I don't think it's a purchase I'll be regretting at $30.

People are just debating.
I wonder if that guy on the radio is some awesome Australian that is trying to help poeple off the island.
At [url]http://www.dead-island.com/[/url] they posted a review of Dead Island from an Italian artical and they give it an 8.5
Every game has flaws, but we're pointing out the flaws in a game that hasn't been released. Nobody knows anything.

Quit trying to defend this game so much, it has flaws.[/QUOTE] I don't think we've really seen enough to see how thorough the character development is though. Of course it wouldn't really bother me if the person you play as doesn't because it always makes them feel like a blank slate that I can convey my own personality into.
I'm torn between playing this or Space Marine.
I'm torn between this and Red Orchestra 2 Space Marine just looks kinda generic since I don't follow the whole Warhammer thing.
I personally enjoy it when your character doesn't say anything because it makes me feel as if everything that is happening is happening to me, not some avatar I made/chose. At the same time, I can make my own dialogue.
[QUOTE=GetBent;32059396]I'm torn between playing this or Space Marine.[/QUOTE] Me too. I know for competitive multiplayer I already preordered RO2 a month or so ago. And I feel like Space Marine's P2P not so inspired multiplayer will die out fast, especially if the anticheat is bad or not implemented. P2P rarely ever works in multiplayer gaming, because when the community is gone it dies. I also think Space Marine will be much shorter in Single Player and will probably get bland but so will any game.

That being said, I wish dead island let you make your character.

[b]EDIT:[/b] Why am I dumb for having an opinion? Dipshits.
Polish writer was hired to do 'blogger from Banoi' kind of thing, he starts tomorrow, unfortunately it will probably be only in Polish.
[QUOTE=killz2much;32059501]I wouldn't because you're always locked into 1st person view. You do customization and for what? To not see it?[/QUOTE] You barely ever see hats and accessories in TF2 except when you die/taunt, so why are so many people willing to shell out money for them if you don't see it?
Because some of the accessories in TF2 actually buff you and not just for the looks.
Some do, but that's like 5% of them all. The TF2 hats are just a status thing, like money, cars or clothing in real life.
[QUOTE=killz2much;32059501]I wouldn't because you're always locked into 1st person view. You do customization and for what? To not see it?[/QUOTE] It's more about you and your friends playing together and seeing one another being reflected however they'd like. PLAYING PRETEND WITH ZOMBIES. I want to put myself on the island, and a handful of my mates. Not rappers, spies and football stars controlled by me and my friends. Aesthetic opinions, doesn't matter in the end.
[QUOTE=GetBent;32059396]I'm torn between playing this or Space Marine.[/QUOTE] Space Marine is [I]supposed[/I] to come out on the same day but they have yet to put a release date in the steam store. Sure the demo says a date but even the tv commercials just say "Coming Soon"
Just a heads up. Pre-loading is now available through Steam.
[QUOTE=NoobieWafer223;32061346]Just a heads up. Pre-loading is now available through Steam.[/QUOTE] Holy fuck, excite. Thanks for telling!
Oh wow preloading this early?! Who the fuck does this!! Read it [IMG]http://mirrorimg.net/im1/szq.png[/IMG]
