Yeah I think the game benefits from easier upgrades, very smart design decision there with resources for instant repair

Just played up until the point where you get sidequests. Chris Redfield just can't catch a break, can he?
I feel like this is gonna be something to remember. I just really like the parkour and the emphasis on day and night. I think the graphics are decent too. Playing on the ps4 and I like all of the wind effects.
Couple of questions so far:
1) So, I picked a couple of wrenches and it said I had a weapon upgrade. So...I guess the upgrade looks like a wrench? But I can use the wrench as a weapon? Also, on the subject of weapons I take it the color means rarity?
2) Does playing co-op advance your single player campaign? Or can I jump into a PUG group, get some xp, and jump back to where I was in my own deal?
The movement here feels a lot tighter and the parkour makes a world of difference. Also, there feels like some thought that's put into the characters.

I dont think it is. The first dead island didnt really grab me at all.

Upgrades look like 2 gears. Not sure the console key but you select a weapon and hit f6 and you can apply them on PC. They apply things like increased durability, damage, and handling that I've seen so far.
There's a shutter you have to lift open on the building. Use survivor sense to get an idea of its' location, it'll highlight interactive areas.

hella bullets that's true
I've gone from not knowing this game existed to downloading on steam in about 45 minutes.
So for those who haven't heard. A great deal of Australians, Europeans, and New Zealanders digital pre-orders for Dying Light won't activate, there hasn't been a proper statement from Sony or Techland, but basically Sony support have said to most of us that they're aware of the issue, and we should wait 24 hours before contacting them again.
Check out this thread where people have been sharing issues and trying to find solutions;

It would be great if we could actually get a proper response / compensation from Sony.

I just bought this with some PSN wallet funds. It is all thanks to this thread. I never played Dead Island so I am going in pretty fresh.
Tips?

I have 6 dockets from preordering. Should I cash them all in now and see what I get, or save some for later in the game?
I cashed one in and got a blue pipe that seems decent.

They scale with your level. I'd say do it every few levels to get a good piece of gear, but not all at once, you'll outlevel them fast.
Though there is some sanity to be gained by spending them early because the game will stop reminding you to spend them all the time.
If you're referring to the return portion with the gifts for gazi I believe it told you to go to the roof. Use the pipes above.
Was no embargo. They didnt send out review copies apparently.
If no one else is going to make a GAF community group, I'll set one up so people know who to add.
Had a friend over so I'm still not out of the tutorial. I have some thoughts on that in the first place, but I already can't wait to just get all of the parkour stuff unlocked and have an open world to play with it in. Just the way you can open doors while sprinting alone felt very familiar:
I always wished Mirror's Edge had some sort of open world approach that let you improvise and use the world to your advantage, rather than and this seems really to play into that... with zombies. If it manages to even approximate that I'll be pretty satisfied. Cannot wait to get out of this exceedingly boring tutorial though.

I'm enjoying this. Traversal system is better than mirrors edge. a cool moment I had and collectible location:
When I was on the crane in the beginning I looked up and thought to myself, 'I can get up there' and I did, without the game telling me I could climb on that sort of stuff. And at the top of the crane there was a collectible!

You can't be serious.
Agreed, just the ambient noises in the tower in the beginning were rumbling my towers.

Hated every second of thr little I played of dead Island 1. Only got through the tutorial of this and enjoyed it more than that hell.
Oh, final build of the game recognises saves of the preview.
I'm glad to find all my beloved Agility skills already there:

coop saves your mission only if it's the mission you are on. So if you are on mission 4 and join a game on mission 6 it won't save. But if you join a coop game on mission 4 and beat 4, 5, 6 it will save up to 6
Played my first match as a zombie and has a blast! So much fun hunting people down

I keep getting CE-34878-0 within 10 minutes of coop play. I've tried almost everything. I can't play and I'm not sure what to do.
Was it CE-34878-0?

I have a deep hatred for "special mission" co-op.
Awesome, thank you.
I assume it also means that if you are on 6 and join someone on four, once they catch up with you, you'll start progressing automatically?

I was apprehensive about getting this on the PS4, even with the gamestop deal but glad I did. Runs well so far and looks surprisingly good visually. I normally get all multiplats on the PC (with the exception of PES 2015 this year) but seeing the issues people are having getting the PC version running smoothly I'm quite glad I did.

Holy crap, just got done playing the first night mission, that was intense!
Also does anyone know how to get the weapons that you download from the GameStop code? I have it all downloaded just don't know if it's a specific point in the game or if I have to do something special

It was in the Gametrailers stream. It was awesome.

Loving it so far. Love the feel of smashing a face with a wrench. Everything feels so good and I'm not noticing any tearing so far!
But all the xp, weapons find saves right?

You and me both brother. I love Mirror's Edge here is hoping 2 is open world it was the most requested feature in a poll by EA for the sequel.

How big is the world and does it seem there's multiple paths out of situations? Getting kinda interested after watching some streams.

Just put in more time with it. Finished the prologue, The free running is great IMO. I can really plan out a route, then hit it. So far I like all the changes & the story has a premise worth following so far. The game has made a great 1st impression with me. Idk how the official Dead Island 2 is going to be better than this.

yeah that was it
then i did a sequence of successful himan vs hunter matches without error.
every time i join coop, it turns into a hunter invaded thing.
Finally was able to play today.
Wow, what a treat. This game has been hitting all sorts of notes for me. I think this game is personally one of my favorite of this generation.
It's intense too!
This game will make sure you have a pulse.

I got to the part where you turn the power switch outside on at the substation and when that orange jumpsuit zombie comes tearing through that garage door... Fuck man that had my heart racing. It's getting dark. Big zombie wants to kill me, but I still gotta get the power going.
