Game is great so far, loving having to jump all over the place to save my sorry ass and explore around for some loot.
Must be tons of fun with other people.

You can adjust all those settings in the menu even deadzone.

My biggest issue with this game (which I am sure will be modded at some point) is the stupid durability. I mean sure you need durability in real life, but if you have a sword....its not going to be useless in the zombie Apocalypse after 20 head slices! Also each weapon can only be repaired a certain number of times before it is garbage. So if you find or make a sweet weapon...it will only last a certain number of hits before POOF. This was my biggest issue with Dead Island and continues to be with Dying Light. Hopefully this is modded or patched though cause otherwise it is quite a fun game.

No. They don't run at 60fps
It is isn't it. Its like you see the sun setting and start getting nervous. Only other game that comes near it was the old master Dragons Dogma but I think this game beats it.

Reminds me of the first week of any Souls game. People get scared of invading players even though everyone is on the same playing field and just trying out the mechanic.
Don't be pussies people. Fight the invading zombie and play the game. don't quit out!
That's great news, thanks! I wish more games would do this. I hope it becomes standard eventually.
That's what made me quit Dead Island. It eventually got the point where I felt like I had to grind to get guns to sell so I could afford to repair and use my melee weapons.
Huzzah! Even on consoles? Is there a FOV slider on the consoles?

It would probably be less popular streamers cause the ones that have Subscribe $4.99 buttons probably have Twitch as their business model so all of that tacky subscriber notifications crap is guaranteed. The game has to look good with the bitrate they use. Which is why I go for the PC streamers. Then after that, you have to see if they're actually good at the game and if they're not annoying.

Out of the Subscriber streamers that don't have annoying stuff:
http://www.twitch.tv/iamsp00n (278 viewers) seems like 60fps
Seriously! This is one of the coolest aspects of the game and I hope it adds to replayability. Don't just quit out like a pansy! Stand your ground!

Yes, I don't like this.
Experience points toward the survivor levels, though it doesn't seem like a lot.
Oh shit. I don't suppose making it back to where you died allows you to reclaim them ;P
With that gamestop 20$ PS4 version, a lot of people got that version.

Damnit GAF, I was going to hold out on this but you've got me all hyped..
Really? I thought it unlocked at midnight EST, like, last night?Got so excited reading the positive posts, i thought sod it, as soon as i get home will buy it on digital rather than wait a month... then found out that it's not actually out on PS4 till tomorrow, then felt like a total fool
That's the stuff you get for doing quests, right? Surprising, sounds like it's possible you'll never get all the survivor skills if you keep dying left and right

Is this way better than Dead Island? Also, even though there are no reviews, is it worth just grabbing now?
SirMossyBloke
Member
Nope, but you can earn 1000-4000 per mission and lose 80-400 per death. Its not too bad.

Yeah that makes my decision easier to make..more people to play online with..besides, I haven't purchased a PS4 game in a while so mind as well get something new for the PS4

Not really. I mean, it's open world.
But it's first person as opposed to third person. It has parkour as opposed to grinding. It focusses on melee as opposed to shooting...nah, I think the games are more different than they are similar.

There are two reviews out, one is 94/100 and one is 8/10. So far I absolutely love the game. And it's way less janky than Dead Island.
Ok I was more curious on how they compared on the ease of traversal front. I knew about the 1st vs 3rd person perspectives. I'll keep reading impressions and wait for reviews I guess.

So far the traversal on this is really fun to me. You can really get a good line going if you get into a groove. It's exhilarating and fun. I find the whole gameplay loop pretty addictive. This is from only 2 hours playing, but I'm way impressed so far.

Dead Island wasn't just jankiness. When you got to a certain level, some of the enemies would just be OP and just basically one hit you, but your gear could never keep up. Other little things here and there too.
But it is much better than Dead Island?
JumpJeff84

Well I loved Dead Island more than most, despite its problems.
After playing this for a couple of hours it seems very solid. And it's fun. Kinda tough to compare to DI though, as it's quite different. The traversal is so much of this game, and I feel like it's done very well. The whole game is quite addictive. As to how it holds up 20+ hours in I have no idea, but so far I'm very, very impressed.

If you want to ruin the game by doing it if course.
Sure, but who cares how other people play a game?
GwyndolinCinder

So this game turned out to be good?
SirMossyBloke

Me acknowledging that it ruins the game doesn't mean I give a shit if someone wants to do that.
This bothers me the most.
If they can't patch this in some way I dont see myself getting this.

This was my problem with Dead Island as well. I was hoping that they would go with weapons being much more scarce but much more durable this time around. Weapons on every street corner that last five minutes each gets old fast.

How does this game compare to Dead Rising 3?

Yes thats the spot, first i was like oh kill these zombies and get some loot.
Then i found no epic loot and zombies kept spawning.
Wonder what more easter eggs there are.
JumpJeff84

Not comparable at all, other than the fact that you can craft weapons and kill zombies. Honestly, it really is like Mirror's Edge mixed with Dead Island.
The big difference is that it's open world, whereas Mirror's Edge was pretty linear in its traversal. I've played for two hours, and so far this game has my favorite traversal ever in an open world game.

I apologize if it has been answered already but is there HUD options? Like toggle off mini map etc. Whether I ever buy this largely depends on it.
JumpJeff84

None that I could see on the console version anyway.
I'm the type that likes to turn off HUD stuff in games a lot of the time, but from what I played this seemed pretty clean and non-obstrusive.
