Dead Island brings lots of new fun fun crazy times?

Re: Dead Island brings lots of new fun fun crazy times?

all first person games are pretty much stiff with animations. Look at Skyrim, that doesn't even have feet, mew.

Dead Island has some pretty realistic animations here and there, especially how an enemy can knock down player and it feels more natural in some ways, mew.

I'm wondering what sort of bizarre universe you'd have to be in where sitting down at a workbench and putting together a makeshift weapon costs you money. Who are you paying? Casper the Ghost? Other than that, the game seems OK.

Well workbenches don't pay themselves during a zombie outbreak. Stuffing money into them could give them nice daily Vitamin C so they don't splinter and stuff.

Mew mew horror??? Is that what we've all been experiencing after reading your posts?

Well, its no less weird than a man that looks like a leper showing up and asking "Whatcha buoooyin?" in RE4, though I must admit that for some reason I feel like RE5 would have been a bit more fun if he showed up in it.

And Castlevania had monks and that Hammer fellow just set up shop in the castle. Totally makes sense, I guess.

Sometimes this sort of thing is just completely arbitrary.

Yep. There's also that LIMB clinic that just happens to be in the final mission in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, apropos of nothing. Even so, at least in all those cases there's someone there to take your money. Having money just vanish because you sat down at a bench and started tinkering is a whole new dimension of bizarre beyond questions of "What is a shopkeeper doing HERE?"

This. Also, isn't Castlevania's appearance on a schedule anyways? Them shopkeepers know ahead of time when someone's coming a-knockin' =P

Actually the placement of that LIMB clinic makes total sense for DX:HR. The entire Panchea facility was built by augmented workers under Hugh Darrow's employ and it was said it would have not been possible without the augmented workers.. They would need a LIMB clinic to care for them as needed.

Plus it would have sucked to leave all those credit chips strewn all over the facility and not had a place to use them, so they wrote that little detail in for the clinic to make sense.

What didn't make sense was everything in the clinic was smashed or turned over except for the computer you would have needed to make the purchases from. I get the booth being sturdy enough for that woman to hide inside, but not the computer left totally un-smashed. Well, aside from the booth being cut-and-paste of all other LIMB booths.

Getting back on topic, GT gave it an 8.5


@_@ only a 5.6 for Story, which makes me very sad. I was very much hoping for some good story/RPG elements and not just another zombie shooter.

Re: Dead Island brings lots of new fun fun crazy times?

The story:

You are immune to the zombie plague and/or avoid getting bitten.
You kill hundreds of zombies on your way to safety and encounter some hot girls on the way with whom you may or may not develop a romantic interest.
Big massive zombie event before reaching "safety".
Finally peace and/or ironic defeat.

- The End -

Personally I don't need more than that for a zombie story, really.
