From what I've seen and read that will improve greatly after you get some upgrades in the "Agility" specialization. I agree it is kind of cumbersome in the beginning, but I feel the upgrades in this game are handled pretty well. Just keep using it and it will level up.

Big game, prob. needs a few more days for reviews to pop up.
Store said 28th as release date but the game just shit itself when u tried to download it.
They didn't send out any review copies before release, so all reviewers have to play through it with us commoners. Probably gonna take a couple of days since it's an open world game.

If I buy the US digital version to play in the UK, will I be able to co-op with someone with the UK version?
Not sure how the servers work in this

Sucks that I have to wait a month for the physical release here in the UK. 
I'm enjoying this a whole lot more than I thought I would. As someone who really enjoyed the beginning half of Dead Island, this feels like a massive improvement.
(I really don't think this is a spoiler, but beware random NPC chatter.) I spoke, or should say was spoke at by a random NPC who talked about the sewer system. I sincerely hope this was a joke at the fucking awful sewer portion of Dead Island, otherwise my audible groan was rightfully earned.

I was completely blown away by the quick travel being so...well quick!

The big thing to write now a days is "reviews in progress."
Well damn...there is like 7 or 8 zombies around it and all I have so far for weapons are pipes and the like,which take about 8 hits to kill a zombie and they wind up breaking...oh well,I will come back later then to finish it,thanks.
lol,but to be fair,most review sites got the game the day of release(yesterday) so thats why...

I feel like someone else said this before, but this very much feels like a zombie version of farcry and that is not a complaint!
Graphics are sometimes mediocre, mostly just the people up close. The lip sync thing is a bit strange, but doesn't bother me too much.
Somewhat of a slow start, but just keeps getting more fun as I progress. The parkour takes some getting used to, but is fluid and I love it. Environment looks beautiful!

This game! Night time plays completely different than day. I mean u can play the same as daytime but u won't survive long. I didn't think this game would have me wrapped like it does.
I did it early on. Don't you have any firecrackers? Just toss them and then move in real quick. Trust me, that building is worth getting into.

Is it only me that hates the combat for the most part? Hopefully it gets a lot better with more skills.
Yeah I saw a whole bunch of icons flashing in there when I used my survivor sense,going to give it a shot again before heading out...I have to head all the way down there though since I saved and quit last night.

Yes. Whole game is about 19gb.
It does. Typing up some (still pretty damn early) thoughts now, but people interested in this as a parkour game will find them particularly relevant.
I don't think so. I checked both UK and US stores. UK went up to £60! And US to $70 what the hell. Still going for US download but wtf seriously Sony.

co-op with randoms is v fun
Australia. Sorry, I should have probably stated that.
I imagine a disc copy would be around $30 cheaper, based on usual local pricing. PSN prices in general seem kind of steep.

Look for an independent local retailer and give them a phone. They might have imported it from US.
I'm in Scotland, and have a copy, just bought from a shop, sitting in my bag
local games retailers are the best. When you find a good one, that is.Your name should be Levelhead

The only place that sells videogames near me is CEX. And that's all pre-owned stuff, so it looks like I'm just going to have to wait.

Well so far it seems like the majority are having a real good time and surprised at how good it is.
That on the psn store through ps4? If so then great thanks for clarifying.
I saw it for on the online store on web for $69.99

Anyone gonna need help with the 'Complete 5 quests with the same 3 co-op partners' trophy on PS4?
I'll probably need to rope 2 people in for that one, assuming I can get my brother to help
@Calmine, yep, on console. Premium edition is $80

anyone got any general tips for nighttime traversal?
usually I just keep my flashlight off and crouch until I can sprint without any of those creepy fuckers in range. it works, but thats all I've done. the UV flashlight does indeed stun them, but its for 1-2 seconds and takes a while to kick in, so I don't find myself bothering to use it because during that time another can flank you or come in from behind.

welcome to my world...glad I'm not the only one who struggles with these types of things! lol

Sorry you are stuck, but to me that sounds great. The fact you don't just push forward and hold a button like a lot of other games sounds fantastic

Is there a way to see damage feedback on enemies? Its hard to know how effective hits are, and for example whether my kicks are doing any damage (same with knocking enemies over)

Got that '20 kills without getting hit' trophy immediately after being asked to go out on my first errand. Feels good man. (Most were from me kicking zombies into spikes)
It's going to take me a bit to adjust to the traversal and movement speed/controls but so far it's a blast. Just what I needed to take a break from Destiny.

you might not be far enough up yet, but press Q (on pc, view objective/examine surroundings button) and check where the panel is you need to activate. On the second tower, it's not all the way at the top, although you do get something for getting to the very top.

Okay this game is damn interesting and the zombies while slow you can tell if you get swarmed you are screwed.
I only played the first 2 hours of it though... so lets see how the rest go!

yes the concept is great, but I just find it really cumbersome in first person. already said earlier that this game would be much better with a 3rd person perspective.
got it now, problem was I thought I couldn't climb the thing I was supposed to :/
