prepare to be hated reviewer lol... i pretty much think the game is prolly a 7/10 i hvnt even played it yet but i know its not gr8 and has its flaws... MANY FLAWS

Ares844606d ago

You lost all credibility when you said you haven't even played it yet.

As for me, I can't wait for my copy to arrive in the mail. I'm reserving judgement till than.

kamakaz3md4605d ago

i have been playing it, jus rented it... its an 7 - 8 like i said. U dont need to play a game to give it a score. If your as good as i am with games and watch so many videos for years, you would be able to predict the scores. Im just good like that... 1 day u will learn young grasshopper

manumit4606d ago

You havn't played it yet but you give it a 7/10!? WTF? What score do you give Rage?

JsonHenry4606d ago

I'm on the final act and so far I would give it about an 8 out of 10 or so. Good game, would be better with a real save system and FOV option for the PC. Other than that a solid game. The game really shows its true colors once you make it to the city. Until then the game feels like walk in the park.

shayol33t4606d ago

It seems reviewers are reading reviews of the game, and then re-reviewing off of the review. Thats the only way I can understand some of the disconnects between text and game.

This one didn't get pay!Great!After the COJ Cartel fiasco i wonder how many checks techland had to write.

Eiffel4606d ago (Edited 4606d ago )

I'm 10 hours in with only 8% complete. $60 well spent, this game is a sleeper hit. 9/10 from me, definitely the best zombie game to date.

admiralvic4606d ago

I don't know where you're getting that figure, however the only figure I know is story progress. So while you might have finished a lot of side quests, you could still be 10, 20, etc % complete. I did a lot of side quests and story which got me to the end in 9 hours.

Eiffel4606d ago (Edited 4606d ago )

I'm still on the resort helping out the people at the light house and lifeguard tower, plus finding materials to craft better weapons, and stopping in between to rank up with coop. Be it story percent or not, this game is packed with content.

Cpt_kitten4606d ago

im with you there, not a big zombie fan actually more annoyed with everything needing zombies in it, but im truly enjoying this game

Jocosta4606d ago

I remember Two Worlds 2's reviews being all over the place.

Dead Island 2 devs believe a Dead Island remake would be a “mistake”

We might be in the age of remasters, but it doesn't look like the Dead Island 2 devs believe remaking the original game is the right move for the series.

but remakes require far less effort for these companies and they can still charge $70 for them!

Feel like everyone makes fun of Skyrim re-releasing like 18 times yet applaud these remasters elsewhere. Would much prefer NEW games

CrimsonWing69399d ago

Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!

Dead Island's 2011 reveal is still the best game trailer of all time

Josiah Motley of KnowTechie writes: "I love video game trailers. While I don’t believe they are an integral part of a game’s success (especially these days), there’s something about a well-produced trailer that really just reminds me why I like video games."

Also the most misleading of all time

SDuck811d ago

How so? Because it focused on a family that you see dying? (innocent question, haven't gotten a chance to play any Dead Island game yet)

aconnellan811d ago

More the tone of it - the tone of the trailer suggested something personal and dramatic, but the game was very much reminiscent of Left 4 Dead in that you were just there to kill zombies and nothing more

Ashby_JC811d ago

You play as a singular character there is no family involved at all in the game. Still a stand out trailer that I remember clearly from years ago.

Fntastic811d ago (Edited 811d ago )

Did you not like the game?

I remember going in expecting a L4D style of game, but the excessive camera swaying honestly made me feel ill, and it's rare for a game to do that to me, still don't understand why the need for anything other than maybe a subtle slight camera movement when doing melee attacks etc. Other than that i didn't really find the game that good. In all honesty i had more enjoyment out of DNF, and i know many people crap on that game.

BioShockGX810d ago

I still remember this misleading controversy

RickRoland811d ago

It’s the music. It’s perfect. I agree with this for sure, it is well choreographed….unfortunately the game didn’t live up to the trailer.

brewin810d ago

Maybe not, but it was still a good game. I liked how they expanded things with Dying Light, but Dead Island was a great first attempt! I really liked all the Easter eggs and homages to other horror franchises sprinkled throughout. Sure it was a little cheesy and over there top, but it was a good happy medium between Far Cry and Fallout with zombies.

I'm gonna heavily disagree with that.

CrimsonWing69811d ago

Have you ever seen any of the MGS 3 or MGS 4 trailers? Those blow this out of the water for me.

TricksterArrow811d ago

They require prior knowledge of the franchise, tho. You show this trailer to anyone, and I mean ANYONE, and they can understand what's going on and relate to the family dynamic almost immediately. No need to know who is Snake, or Fox Hound, or Raiden, or Metal Gear...

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago

Vits1024d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1024d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1024d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1024d ago (Edited 1024d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.
