I've loved playing this game but after getting a save file corrupted (all I did is hit quit from the menu) at the prison with maybe 5 minutes more to play - I think I can safely say this game is a buggy POS.

 

Is it fun? Sure. But playing and not having the security of knowing your game might be corrupted at any moment? Fuck that.

 

I did find a way around that issue by making a new character of the same type and basically riding on someones ass till the end, but I lost every single weapon, mod blueprint and crap I've been collecting since the start of the game.

 

I really hope they fix this game because it could be good, but as it is, it's crap.

I love this game, I really do but I gotta get rid of two things:

 

1. The motherf***ing infinite respawn of those motherfu****g Infected in the motherf(^^)g City Center of Moresby.

 

2. The stupid Escort-Quest (Pure Blood) with "super retard Ope" and Miss "I don't know where the hell to go what I'm talking about & what game I'm in Yerema".

I haven't managed more than an hour or so here and there... I think it is just designed to wind me up.

 

In the first area when you first meet up with the survivors what is it with the flashing screen (IE it keeps going black)... it drives me mad...

 

And why do some Zombies appear on my radar as skulls and some do not?

 

I can't read the writing when you collect items, it is too small.

 

It would have been nice to have some instructions, rather than trial and error to get to grips with the controls.

 

For me so far there has been nothing really, really bad, but a lot of minor irritations which prevent me from getting immersed into the game.

 

Oh yeah, sometimes I get knocked down and there is a blue bar on the screen. What is this? I initially thought I was dead as the zombies just walk away and leave me be, but then I get up again without respawn.

Skulls mean you have to kill those to advance in some sort of side quest or rescue a survivor who is being attacked.

I'm at around 80% and the only thing I don't really like is the zombies level with you. What's the point of leveling up at all if everything just levels with you? I got over it but after reading this thread I'm not gonna do a new game+. Might join some random games just to help people out and level up, I dunno if that will work out well or not.

 

The driving could be better but I haven't used it unless it was mandatory. I like walking around beating every zombie I come across.

 

Would rather play single player than co-op...I tried a bit yesterday with a friend and I have much more fun by myself (also liked Borderlands much better by myself). The game is not as intense when you have other people with you. That's more personal preferance than a problem with the game though.

 

Other than that I have had no glitches or any problems with quests. I'm usually pretty lucky with these types of games, never had any issues with either Fallout games. It's not over yet though, I won't be surprised if it does happen.

I have a character I use in co-op and solo play ( same one). I thought (stupid me) that when we end the night of co-op in the church, when I start up my character for solo play, I would spawn there. No, it put me in the sewers lost my weapons/money. No way to get out of the sewers :mad: Will stick with co-op play now. Love the game but feel they could have put more time in to make a finished product so much better and bug free.

:uzi:I find this weird, living in wales uk. I expected to find lots of glitches and issues and have not had, ONE. Saves all been fine from single to coop, no probs with anything. The only annoying thing I find is getting killed by 3 zombies and losing $2000 or more. And I was getting annoyed, as have done majority on own and went from $20000 down to $9000 in less than hour lol. But then I started finding $2000 or more in bags, shop tills and so fourth, so I was like ok im not stressing about money from now on.

 

I am enjoying this game so much, best zombie game played in yonks. Im not sure about achives yet, all have popped up so far. So fingers crossed. Stunning game I cant stop playing which is my biggest bitch of all haha.

 

Edit: has anoyone noticed sometime when a few zombies are attacking you, your hitting button to swing weapon, but it does f'all. That slightly annoys me, seems abit weird.

How long it takes to find five exceptional weapons. I've found three no problem, now I can't find two more.

.

Huh, I found about 9-10 on my playthrough with Purna. Stored them @ all by Jin. Finders keepers.

 

I'm sick & tired of these "play this game after that day in this week after the first time before the next year blablablabla...". It's getting old. Talking about...

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/429/5-x7z6w=.jpgHow many days exactly? 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Play Dead Island at least 28 days after starting it for the first time.

 

Now I know I can simply do it OFFLINE but I'm with the people who wants a time-stamp on this shit. Soon not anymore...

It could be your stamina running out. If your stamina her is empty, you can't swing

So I decided to go ahead and grab the green skull and take it back to the supermarket before continuing any further. I made it to city hall where it froze. I had to power off my xbox and when I started back up it fucking loaded me in the river town in the jungle. How the fuck is that even possible? So annoying. I hate making my way through that shitty sewer. lol

I don't post much on the forums, but thought I'd give my two cents..

 

Yeah I'm only 10% through the game, but this game is already starting to bore me. The story, so far, is pretty boring and most of my quests involve finding useless shit in order to please these psychotic people. Finding teddy bears and alcohol for people? I mean really?

 

Also, I have never been a fan of pov games like this. I don't like Fallout or Elder Scrolls (I'll get flamed for this) because I feel like I can't see a damn thing. Then I have the Infected running at me and I'm spinning around in circles trying to find where the screams are coming from. Half the time they spawn out of nowhere.

 

The Thugs also hit way too hard. Then with the Thugs random ass walkers and infected spawn out of nowhere. Not a fan of the respawns at all. I'll kill a bunch of zombies, walk back a few minutes later and there are 1-2 more then what I just killed. That and they can sense me from so far away. Then if I run by them I feel like I'm being cheap as I want to kill everything.

 

Repairing weapons is fucking stupid. Plain and simple. I spend so much money on upgrading weapons..and for what? Just to pay more to get them repaired? I understand they were trying this..real factor..with the rest of the game..but if they are going so real with it, why does a knife get dull within minutes? Even when fully upgraded?

 

Also, don't get me started on the zombies leveling with you..

 

Luckily I have not run into any bugs yet..but this game is annoying me on its own.

 

Good things about the game

-I do like driving..but I feel like there is not enough room to drive. I can barely turn around in the truck without reversing, forwarding, reversing, forwarding. It pleases me to run over 2 or more zombies at once though.

 

-The concept of the game is brilliant, but I just cannot get used to that pov. If I could toggle the camera angle to make it third person, I'd love this game even more.

 

-The different amount of weapons you can find, but they should skip the whole "upgrading" weapons thing and once you find a weapon it's already upgraded. You should be able to carry that weapon with you for the entire game if you want without it getting dull, but that's just me.

 

Something I wish it had was a 2 player mode. I initially sat down with my buddy to play this and it's only one player? But has an online co-op mode? What kind of bullshit is that? If there's an online co-op mode, there should be an offline co-op mode. Simple as that. The fact that I can't kill zombies with my buddy, who doesn't have XBL, annoys the living piss out of me.

 

Overall, fun game, but I honestly don't know how long I'm going to play this.

Well, after having had 2 saves corrupted I just got bit by a "good" bug? None of my weapons degrade, ever. New weapon pickups, won't degrade. Old weapons, won't degrade.

 

I've loaded, reloaded, turned my system on/off.

 

Gave one away and it degraded for my co-op partner so it isn't an issue with the weapons themselves, something messed up on my character.

 

Although I imagine that this will make it a bit harder to do the Easy Thug XP thing when I get around to level grinding.
