Maybe the console versions have problems the PC doesn't? I don't know, I put in like four hours tonight and the thing ran beautifully. No glitches, no complaints at all. I'm using the Xbox 360 wired controller and if I didn't know any better, I'd say this game was made for the PC and that control scheme.
I am in love.

Assuming you put all your points into that tree you will roughly reach there only when Act 2 starts, and weapons will be roughly doing ~200 points base damage by then, which is still kind of terrible.
By the start of Act 2, Xian with most of her points in Combat, will get instant knockdown, instant headstomp kills, double damage from jump attacks, +60% from back attacks..... you can see what I'm getting at.

The Dead Island launch summed up in this lil gif.
But it was such an awesome game to play

Played the game on 360 with 3 buddy's last night i wish Techland had more manpower to polish the game. It's fun but it performs bad on 360 and the animations are a mess. The sound bugs are annoying and the game crashed on 3 consoles at the same time luckily the save files didn't corrupt so that we could continue. The core gameplay is fun and nearly all i ever wanted from zombie coop game.

Circle-strafe round him, bash in the back of his head. Run away for stamina boost, dodge vomit. Repeat.
Are you playing as Sam B or Logan? The best way to deal with them is just to shoot them in the head. They're slow so you have plenty of time to line up your shots.

is this a moral quandary quest where you have to separate that man from his beloved barrels? those barrels are clearly very important to him I can tell by his hands.
I'll separate him from those barrels if you know what I mean. Will get this game soon, sounds rike it's right up my alley.

The Australian don't even sound Australian; sounds like a drunk American pretending to be a drunk Englishman putting on an Australian accent.
Ran into a really anoying glitch where I couldn't switch weapons, this happened when I took control of the Mounted Gun at City Hall... I was mid-mission so I didn't want to do a Hard-reset ( Dashboard and reload ) because I would have to restart the whole fucking mission... so every time I saw a Suicider I'd have to bring up the menu... unequip my weapon then re-equip the gun. My RB button was not broken or stuck because I could still hit the button in the menus to toggle... this game is a buggy mess.
Logan is extremely OP to the point of game-breaking if you use the "secret" developer weapons. He can kill any non-special zombie with a single throw, and knock-down + headstomp the special ones aside from Ram. You can unlock the weapons I'm talking about by middle-end of Act 2.maomaoIYP said:

Are you being serious? If so, where did you find him?

North-west of the jungle map, south of the highway.
Probably has the most health of any enemy in the game. He's human, named Jason, wearing trademark hockey mask and machete and shouting crazy things as he slices through a pack of zombies around his house. Once you kill him you can go into his house and find a chainsaw. No swinging necessary, hold down the fire button and zombies get torn apart on it. Great for crowds of runner zombies.

Why is the PS3 version $63?

Played first ~2 hours just now. Only tweaks I did was the video.scr editing for maxing out the graphics and vsync on. Game is gorgeous as is, not tweaking the .pak files.
This game is sex. It's the perfect game for me (someone coming off of mainlining MMORPGs for ~8 years). I'm playing with the controller + analog combat and it's fun as hell. I like being able to pick which limb I want to hack off, and a game that is all about melee needs some sort of analog control so you're not just mashing a button.
Have a feeling this will take the frontseat of my current game-queue. Sorry DE:HR, Space Marine, and Witcher 2 ><

So my friends and I decided to test out the 'open worldness' of the game. I had noticed a building on the map all alone in the later stages of the Jungle area. We decided to go rock climbing. Sadly it resulted in nothing more than missing textures, an empty bunker, and cliff diving.

Just got prompted to d/l a 3MB patch on Xbox 360.
Edit: Wow, now I can join people's games properly.
But now instead of showing their status, it just says Version 1.0.0 :/

Any Idea on Patch notes for the 360? The save corruption thing is beginning to scare me.
Had a friend last night who was playing solo and near the end game, who tried to join me, KageMaru, and another friend to pick up a mod he'd missed earlier in the game. Upon trying to join us his 360 hard locks and he has to reboot and now every time he tries to load that character the game hard locks on load.

Console owners had yet to receive it though. And those patch notes we given to D'toid with their 360 review copy.
I hope it resolves the save issues.

Haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary post-patch, people were able to join my game and vice versa, though.
Up to Act III now, lovely looking areas. Thankfully, the undead seem to be more spaced out than Act II

Got this game last week from Redbox with roommate. I was only able to get to Act III. It's a cool concept, but too many problems for me. I wouldn't mind renting this again or getting it for under 20 someday after some more fixes.
