Well, finally got on today. Lost my save, can't connect to any online games with friends, and everything seems shit.
I still have hopes it'll be fixed by Friday. But seriously... develop your fucking PC versions. Homefront and Brink were killed by similar problems. These devs need to fix this shit soon. I don't want to group what should be a great game with those other two piles of shit.

The fact noclip was bound to the Y key gave me some hope! Who would be stupid enough to try to sell a game in that state. Nobody who gave a shit about the continued success of their studio for certain.

The mouse is not bad. The problems with it stem from the fact that there's a massive difference in an acceptable sensitivity for looking around and the sensitivity you use in the menus. For some reason, when you adjust the sensitivity bar, it affects both the mouse in game and in the menus. It should be easy for them to fix, but there are no smoothing or acceleration issues.

Just got to level 5 on 360 before I quit. I had quite a bit of fun so far.
Tried doing some side quests, but those kept leading to more side quests while out doing the original ones. Damn OCD just wouldn't let me stop.
Probably try some co op tomorrow when my friend picks up the game.

So I launch the game today to find my game save corrupted, the free DLC preorder bonus removed, that I can no longer connect to the internet for co-op, and that none of the previous severe fps stuttering issues are resolved. Awesome patch guys. Great job! I can only assume the next patch is going to remove the ability to play at resolutions greater than 800 x 600. I guess I should have learned after preordering Black Ops that buying a PC game at launch is like giving companies $50 so you can beta test their shit.
I was able to fix the stuttering for now by changing the Online mode Game Visibility to LAN instead of Internet. This has the benefit of not prompting you whenever someone is nearby to join. Note, this is different than choosing to play Single Player mode (where you still get the join requests and still get stuttering).
For those that want to at least play and don't mind playing alone until this issue is fixed, try changing to LAN in the online options before you load your save game and see if that fixes things.

I'm really pissed now; I can't launch the game anymore. It just results in a black screen.

I am not surprised people are having fun with this game but I just finished a 3 hour session and it isn't for me. The quest structure is all over the place and most importantly the combat is frustrating and boring already. I tried both the analog and digital combat and neither ever felt remotely satisfying. I wish it controlled a little more like Demon's Souls or something. Lastly, the inventory and item management is about three generations behind and tedious at best. Having just recently played through Borderlands, this game feels woefully under polished in comparison.
That all said, I can see people loving this game and if the things I mentioned don't even register on your "peeve" radar then you are in for some fun.
Played the PS3 version. Some screen tearing and long load times with textures but otherwise playable. Oddly enough Borderlands crashed for the first time when I played it immediately after Dead Island.
Going to send it back to Amazon tomorrow unless someone wants to trade for a copy of Resistance 3. PM me if interested.

Ah lets see, all saves invalidated and now I can't track quests. Yeah...I'm going to wait to see if this gets fixed in a couple of days.

Just finished several hours with no issues.
But holy POV batman, seriously Dev's put a slider in there somewhere
I feel like I'm play with binoculars attached to my face.
also for those that didn't preorder, the Digital version on Amazon is 39.99

You get a high trade in value. I am sure I could sell it for near zero loss on craigs list but I am lazy.

just made it to the lifeguard tower. very good. what i hate is the rechargeable battery flashlight. it was cool when i ran out and then it charged up by itself. unless it's not a rechargable flashlight that just happen to come back on after recharging lol.
i'm used to the FOV. makes it feel more claustrophobic when i turn and out jumps a zombie in my face!

wow the game totally runs fine now, weird maybe there was a steam update or something I didnt see happening
wow this game is seriously addicting to me, hours have flown by
cool game, and I really like how different the fury powers are. I thought the blade chick had a cooler fury power, but the sports guy thrown weapons fury was awesome at taking out a huge bunch of enemies at range scoring big xp multipliers
very addictive game

i'm wondering this too. i can barely see my weapon on screen unless i'm swinging it!
aside from that the game is running perfectly. i don't understand how so many people are having problems and some aren't.
well after 15 minutes my thoughts are that yeah, the game is pretty rough but its nothing that some patching cant fix.
Pop in can be kinda bad specially in foliage. No AA sucks but i guess there should be a workaround for that, and even though i should be able to mantain 60fps with my rig the framerate is definetly not THAT consistent, random drops here and there that dont really affect the overall experience but would be nice if they got rid of those.
edit: Oh and yeah shadows are terrible and pixelated. And the mouse sensitivity is fuckin off the charts but if i tone it down then its slow as hell in menus.
Game seems fun though, the melee combat is satisfying, wich was my main concern.
edit:
So anyone has any ways around V-sync and AA? using Nvidia. Does the panel force things alright or would you recommend something else?

Now I don't know if my order went through... no confirmation email, not showing under recent orders.
Why must target.com be such shit! Gonna wait until tomorrow I guess, don't want to somehow buy 2 copies lol.
Glad to read the PC is at least playable again.

You could probably sell it for some money on the Amazon marketplace, but if you're planning to trade it in to Amazon you're not going to get much. They currently only accept the 360 version for trade in, and you'd only get $13 max from them.

Hmm...I'll admit I had some stuttering and serious sound issues when I initially booted up. Two restarts and I was golden!
I do have a bit of the headache due to the fov and the fucking bobbing, but I *really* enjoy this game and don't regret picking it up thus far.
I've had one crash and some strange freezes (during a mini boss too no doubt), and it creeps me out since I don't know where I'll end up and where the mini boss will end up.
So far, the kick is OP. O to the motherfuckin P! Group of zombies? Lure into a corner and kick them in the balls...then in the head when they're down...then in the balls again! I'm sure the other zombies won't be quite so vulnerable to the crotch soccer.
I don't like that the weapons degrade so fast. So far, I've been relying on kicks to do the job and only use melee if there are a group and I just need a swing to knock them down...still...kicks pretty much do the job.
I like throwing weapons and it's what helped me take out that mini boss. And I also like the feel of swinging the weapons. I also like the RPG system, but I felt it could've been deeper.
My biggest gripe is that the running feels really really off. I'm spoiled by Valve and how L4D did everything 'RIGHT'. Multiplayer, voice, controls, mood, etc etc etc. Dead Island could've been great with a lot of polish. Moving just feels so unresponsive and sluggish. I also hope they fix the goddamn co op soon too.

Is green man gaming the only place with key shortages? I had no idea they were out of keys before I bought it. How hard could it be to order more, and why would they run out so fast?
If it's just not released on this site I sure didn't get a preorder price. Unless that code was the pre order deal.
