Dead Island - The Bear and Badger

pabloamigo

Mine has been despatched. Tbh, I don't know if I have any intention of playing it!

I think I might get it on the Steam Summer Sale providing the price is right.

humantarget

I.e. Next to nothing.

Subbax

I decided to pick this up with the forum wave. I always fancied it but I never got around to it.

Coopers Green

Ordered it on Amazon.Â

It's out of stock.Â

Badgers.

Subbax

I might have got the last one!

Rev

No one wants to play on Â the PS3. I am nae pals in naples..

Coopers Green

Woohoo! Just been added to the order. All items will be waiting for me at work when I get back next Wednesday.

Co-op was so broken when I played with Reg and Temple of Doom.

I will give it another crack with you Coopers or whoever else though. The main annoying thing was doing the same side quests over and over with no explanation of who's game we were in.

GOTY edition is Â£15 in Tescos.

pabloamigo

I'll do a sealed 360 version for Â£12 incl. postage. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Me and Webbo progressed into the next Act last night. Â It's paced brilliantly, we were just starting to get a tad bored of sand and sunshine and it's thrown some new enemy types in to mix things up.Â

Finding rushing mobs of zombies a but trickier to contend with as well, but the game continues to offer up new weapons and mods to deal with them.Â

Still been running fine, the only major glitch I've seen is getting stuck on stairs. That only lasts a minute it so, and hasn't happened once this week.Â

Loving the achievements, they've done a great job with them.

I think y'all need to sort out the co-op stuff more carefully. When I hosted and played with three others, we never had a repeat of the same missions as I always hosted and used my save.

I have three handguns but I'm not tempted to use them, decapitating zeds with one fell swoop of a leccy machete never gets old.

Was good, the area we've unlocked adds a new dimension to the resort.

No glitches at my end either, I'm inclined to think they may be prompted by co-op connections.

I've just come home to find this on the table. I'm installing now and will be bashing heads in in no time. I've got a couple of cans of Thatchers and some wasabi peas so I'm in for the long haul.

Is there a character that no-one seems to pick? I'm tempted by bashing but I'll even out any groups that are around.

Edit - Who the fuck is Ryder?

I loved using my sick stick on them and then finishing off with the fucking great big electrified hammer I had!

Paul the sparky

Webbins and Frantic have left me for dead.

FranticPea

Nah, if we join your save it'll mean you've missed nowt. We only played a few nights.Â

Back on tomorrow.

Paul the sparky

I don't think I've missed anything major have I? I'll be up for just ploughing on from where you're at now, it will save you having to repeat missions and whatnot.

FranticPea

Im easy either way mate. Don't mind replaying stuff.

Elmlea

I still think this is shit.

I'll dig out the Edge review when I get home; can one of you then explain if the broken bits they moaned about have really been fixed?

FranticPea

Half the broken bits they moan about are bullshit.Â

I'm sorry, but if I'm trekking about an island doing quests I want stuff to kill. Not empty because I've killed everything. Every single enemy at bases in Far Cry 2 respawned eventually. Why not in this?

Hit detection is fine. Quests are absolutely no different to most other games.

I don't really care enough about either game but there WAS a reason in Far Cry. If that was a real military dictatorship, it does seem likely that they would redeploy soldiers to the base, does it not?
Whereas on Dead Island seems like only a finite number of guests.

Granted that reasoning looks ridiculous if live mowed through 10,000 of them, but hey, video games.
I'm not really that fussed about either game but though I'd try to justify it.

FranticPea

Yeh, but it was like 5 minutes later.Â

Anyway, yeh videogames.

Â I like this one. I don't care if it makes no sense, it keeps giving me limbs to sever.

Using the analogue control to launch attacks is one of the most satisfying things in a game ever when it all goes to plan!

We can carry on from yours, Sparky lad. I don't think it would take us that long to crack through to where we are. Frantic and I got a touch of the OCD and were ticking off side quests that really didn't add much, maybe the odd weapon mod.

FranticPea

I'm assuming you'd level up pretty rapid from the extra XP the higher level zombies will give you.

Howdy, Stranger!
