It happens to me all the time. The R3 trigger seems to be extremely sensitive. Another bug I've encountered is that the character randomly starts aiming in the wrong direction sometimes. It only happens once in a while, and it's only for a second or so, but it can be annoying as hell when you're cornered and you know that each shot has to hit it's mark.

Yeah, I've completed the game on Normal and want to play in co-op but I really would prefer to wait for a patch if I'm honest.Synless said:
Also, I think you need to be on the same co-op level on the same difficulty to get a match for online co-op which is why it can sometimes seem empty.

So is this game worth picking up? I seem to get really polarizing views on it. And would they ever actually add voice support? It seems like a lot of work for something already out.

Man, stayed up till 4 am yesterday and finally beat the last section of the graveyard on grim difficulty. What a pain in the ass. The next level, in comparison, was a cakewalk. :lol Looking forward to trying the harder difficulties once I beat this on grim.

Does anyone know when the PSN Plus promotion for this will end?

Good luck with the very last segment of Highway to Hell on Grim. Took me longer to clear than that last bit of Graveyard. I'm playing through on Morbid now and not really looking forward to either of those two sections :/

Is voice chat ever coming? How in the world does a game like this launch without it?
Actually, you will notice that fire disables quite a few of the boss-types.
Against the screamer one (which brings hordes), it just doesn't scream anymore.
You can actually walk away from the jumps when you see that it is jumping. It will land at the spot where you last were as it begins to jump. You do not need to dash at all.

I play Solo so I can't speak for people who like to play this game online but in my opinion this game is very underrated. I love it. The atmosphere is great, the controls are great and it's just really fun. One of the better looking PSN games to top it all off IMO. It's not as complete of an experience as Lara Croft PSN, it really is a dual stick shooter that does that one thing only, but does it well.
I can wholeheartedly recommend it if you are a SP guy like me.

Bear in mind there's absolutely no puzzles in Dead Nation compared to GOL, it's all combat focused. IMO the shooting part is better as are the graphics (on consoles).
The strategy comes from taking out groups of zombies with mines, grenades, cars. If you liked SSHD then yes it is recommended. (I've only played 1p)
Wasn't the price reduced if you're a PS+ member? - not sure if that's still running.

You know, developers... I understand that not all games need to have checkpoints and mid level saves... hell I like hardcore games sometimes... but there's no good reason not to let us suspend our progress until later. Other than developer incompetence or laziness.
Some of us have jobs... classes... families... this is the third fucking time I've had to quit my game to tend to unexpected real life obligations. Having my only choice be: turn off the game or leave my PS3 running for hours is such a load of horseshit.
The damn PSP can do it with every game... standby or whatever it's called. There's no reason not to implement something like that. This is a cool game, but every time I sit down to play it, I get fucked over.
I'm tired of paying money for shit man that I can't enjoy because I actually have a life.
Get a clue devs... who the hell do you think is buying this game? Little kids? No... it's adults with other responsibilities.
I mean I was so excited, and kicking ass, and then obligations call and I have to turn off my PS3 and lose all my progress. (again)

You know - I wonder if it this was done intentionally to artificially lengthen the time it takes to finish the game. This is a tactic that I've seen used many times and I sometimes wonder if it's done intentionally. If so, then fucking lame. But other than this, though, this is a very high quality game and best zombie game ever made. I beat it on grim last night and am going to work on morbid now.

If you're like me and care about your scores and working yourself up on the leaderboards, then it's completely worth it. I've never played Lara Croft and the GoL, but this is a very polished game. The graphic details are amazing and it has amazing sound/music.

I just got to the 3rd level and so far this game is a lot of fun.

I'm about halfway through the campaign now, and what a stupidly great and satisfying game this is. Not just comparing to other shooters, I can't think of anything in this view perspective I've enjoyed playing nearly as much since the first BG: DA.
In fact, to me this is such an obvious quality game that I cannot for the life of me see how it could have garnered some of the low review scores it has got from some places. They are not affecting my enjoyment with it of course, but someone not familiar with the game will see that it's not getting much better reviews than that atrocity Zombie Apocalypse, a game that's realistically an order of magnitude worse, and just skip on it. What they've made here is by far and away second best twin stick shooter on PSN, right after their own SSDHD.
Maybe they should have gone with some other theme after all, but there's really so few zombie games on PS3 that I can't see it bothering anyone, especially when the entry is this good.

I feel the exact same way about it, I think it confused reviewers because it's a bit harder to pin down what type of game it's meant to be.
On one hand it has a campaign-like structure with upgrades and currency but it doesn't let you carry over your arsenal to another playthrough which alot of reviewers probably expected.
If you don't play the game while trying to keep your multiplier up you are missing the point basicaly. The multiplier is the glue that holds everything together, without it you would be left with really solid mechanics but it would feel like a grind.
Hopefuly Housemarque keeps supporting the game and word of mouth gets around, it really is a fantastic game that deserves more attention!

so two of my friends finally got this game. when we play online, we get the first mission done and my friend accidentally backed out instead of goign to the next mission. so we start it up again, but it doesnt let us go to the second level? it says were not on the same mission anymore or something like that?? do we have to start at the first level everytime?

I assume he didn't unlock the second mission properly by just backing out, so he can't join you on that mission. But I'm not sure, since I never played much of the Online Coop.

I agree that it's a score attack game at its heart, but playing through it for the first time, I don't feel the 'grind' at all. Every single level has been really fun, and with new zombies they keep introducing and new weapons and upgrades that constantly become available, there's an enormous amount of approaches to any given situation that can be tried. It always feels new, and the danger and tension never subsides. They clearly wanted to make something that has more of a progression than SSD, and have done so really well. Thinking more about it, I wonder if they regret this now, as I'm sure the production work on this game has been significantly more complex than SSD, and it's not looking like the game will be as popular.JoeFenix said:
More on the game itself, I've finished the graveyard last night, and that last scene was just completely amazing. Craziness abound, it took some real strategizing with weapons to get through it, and I loved every second of it, even though I had to repeat it twice. It also highlighted just how amazing engine these guys have developed, that can seemingly put an infinite amount of things on the screen without ever dropping a single frame, and still keeping it one of the best looking games around. I only wish most full retail games had lighting and shadowing half as good as this game does.
People begging for mid-level saves are completely missing the point of this game. It's first and foremost a score attack game. Hence why there's no interim saves.
I mean, it would be like asking for mid-level saves in SSDHD. I don't remember seeing such complaints.
As for reviews, I think the most common issue people had is that the game is "too dark". Well that's the fucking point as well. In really dark areas you have to be extra careful, look everywhere with the flashlight etc. Sound plays an important role as well.
