They Bought Dead Island: Riptide But Got Dark Souls Instead

It's like the universe was trying to tell them something.

This week, some British gamers found that the retail Steam codes they redeemed for Dead Island: Riptide instead unlocked Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition. The jokes really make themselves, don't they?

They at least got a GOOD game compared to a shitty one.

FrostyZipper4014d ago

I enjoyed the first Dead Island for all its faults, but shit, Dark Souls man. Compare the two? You can't. Dark Souls is just a much better game.

Totally. I might say I like Dead Island more though..

Would have liked the first DI but my lvl 40 save was ruined w a bug/glitch. Couldn't bring myself to start over.

I'm not sure if I'm more amused by this or by how Black Ops II on PC accidentally came with disc 2 of Mass Effect 2.

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
