i was actually debating on making a bitching thread recently, but refrained because the game kind of just came out. but since its here:Bounce:

 

  • by far the worst / biggest problem with this game, is the cutscenes and dialogue. every cutscene contains all 4 playable chars, even if you are playing solo. the island'ers constantly call me "he" or "him," when my character is the latino female.
  • when grabbed by a zombie the annimation is always :ltbut::rtbut:, zzz. also lately i have been getting these zombies who glitch and freeze in place, right after i finish the button sequence lol.
  • driving, nuff said.
  • no manual save feature, i have to walk around the island for like 5 minutes before i can go to bed:(.
  • co-op is fun at first, but quickly becomes a "bloody mess" lol. not only is it impossible to "lose" even if you are both downed the same time, but the zombies proceed to camp your spawns... so you get your ass beat once the game starts again. personally think they should add in some kind of revive feature, like L4D or any other co-op game. just hold X to revive, not respawn in the flames of hell.

done and done:p. great game, i found that i have more fun if i just run it single player. there are waaaay less zombies, and also its more scary for me. i actually get terrified when those fast-running-screamers are chasing me around (the female one).

The respawning infected are starting to piss me off. Its impossible not to die when 6 or 7 mob you and then I respawn right into the mob again. I loved the first act but the city level is boring me. Even the walkers are trouble when they take 4 or 5 swings with my better weapons and if there is more then 4 it ends up being a nightmare. I end up running straight past most enemies. That said I don't think the game is bad, it certainly has potential but it has some annoying elements to it the worst being the unbalanced nature of it.

I agree the zombies leveling with you completely destroys the replay value. How am I supposed to go back and get the kill X amount of zombies without getting hurt achievements?

 

Instead each zombie class should have a range of levels. For example walkers level 1-10, infected 6-16, thugs 12-22, suicider 18-28, ram 24-34, drowner 30-40. Something like that. I'm really worried about single player in the later acts because I co-oped with two other people just on Act 2 and was really worried about playability for singles. If this game becomes too hard to play by myself I will probably 1000 it then turn it in. It's too bad because I love the first act. :(

what character are you playing? The only two girls are a Chinese girl and an aboriginal girl. None of the characters are "latin" because the men are white and black. Am I missing something here?

well, you can revive a team mate in co op...IF you have a medkit and are right next to them...I think you have 4 or 5 seconds which makes it pretty much useless.

It´s so funny to see, that this game got a bitching thread (as i say before the release) and i got a fan boy rush in another thread. I mean, wow! Be carefull people, anything you say against this game can bring up some realy nerds which are NOT accept your opinion.

 

I make it short:

 

- driving

- combat is no combat, it´s chaotic bumper"ing"

- graphic issues, rocks in the air (NO BUG, Level DESIGN!!!)

- controlls are strange

- animations, cut scenes

- co-op is strange, i can´t join other matches if the person is higher with his lavel cap, no good solution with the matchmaking after all

- repair is not necessary, i see NO realy exiting feature behind this, it´s like Far Cry 2, just stupid.

- i don´t got the feeling i´m on a big island, the map is too small, theres a hotel for example and before this hotel are 3 zombies, i mean wow, bobody likes there hollidays on that island?

- voice acting is allways the same

 

Good things:

 

- 4 player co-op (i can´t play this game solo, thats to boring)

- Water looks ok

- plants and stuff is ok

- zombies look good

- weapons are ok

im sorry, my char is purna the ex-police officer. i was under the impression she was latin from the bio i read off her, but she is the firearm specialist.

 

i just think its lame they didnt expect people to do single player. all the cutscenes contain the 4 characters, and like i said they keep going

 

"thank god he came to help us, you were right about this guy. hes immune to whatever this is."

 

"thanks for the help mates"

 

it just throws you off if you are playing by yourself and your char is female. none of the dialogue or cut-scenes make much sense, and it kind of throws off the gameplay.

oh ok that's what I thought you were talking about, but I was kind of confused. I don't know about calling girls he and him. Maybe it's an Australian thing? I don't mind the multiple people in the cut scenes because it's just a cut scene and I like to see all of the characters. I think it's interesting. Later the cut scenes have dialogue between the 4 so it's important to the story. Not sure they'll be able to change it without taking out the main story arc.

The patch seriously needs to hurry up. I was able to play any game anytime I wanted the first 3 days but last night and today I haven't been able to join ANYONE's game or have them join mine either. It's so frustrating because it's like the game doesn't even try to connect. Just says try again later. Hurry up microsoft and put the patch online!

You won't find any guns until Act 2. Purna's more of a support character and not a great solo character. He skills center around better scavenging, increasing teammate abilities, and fighting from a distance. Sam B is your best bet on a solo character. He was made to be a walking tank. In later levels, Sam B doesn't even need a damn weapon to take on small groups of walkers. Just ram and stomp :woop:

To be honest, I'm really regretting buying this game, I'm only on 2nd act and it's already pissing the hell out of me, honestly, I can't walk 2 inches into the city without 5-6 infected charging at me, not to mention that their screeches are incredibly annoying. Once you get surrounded, you are done. Also, Quests are tedious, the only one I actually enjoyed was the one where you have to go through the hotel into the parking lot to get the van, that one was awesome. And the fact that weapons do not level, is BS, how am I supposed to kill a lvl 25 walker with a lvl 6 pipe? Even with my stronger weapons, it takes forever, it's easier to just kick them until they get KO'd and then stomp their heads, of course this is not an option because most of the time zombies are swarming at you and you don't have the time to do it without them killing you. I would have made a better job at balancing the game, honestly >:C

totally, they should have spent so much more time on this before releasing it, if they did it would be so much better. there wouldnt have to be a bitch forum we could just enjoy it. so not worth the 65 dollars spent

And that is exactly why I have not played this game co-op. I just know that most people will just be on your way instead of actually help you.

I know, most people are like that, at least in my experience. Sometimes the gaming community sucks, thats why I'd rather play alone, or with people I know will help me out.
