But it won't. You don't get to be called a Zombie Game with Health Bars and Levels on Zombies. That's ridiculous. The Resident Evil series is also not quite a Zombie game but at least it doesn't take things this far...And then there's Resident Evil 4 and onward.

Dead Island, just like Dead Light, is just a shooting game with Zombies in it. Which is fine but a completely different thing.

lol... what? Where is this rulebook that says it can't? Are you saying zombie games can't be a shooting game, or are you just weirdly confusing Action RPGs for shooting games or something? Or is it that the only shooting game you have seen is like Borderlands or something... lol.

Yeah, very bad take.

Didn’t know there was a rule book for “zombie games” and given that @Simple thinks Resi isn’t even a zombie game, I’m curious as to what they think is.

lellkay568d ago

Gota say i'm not impressed with it. Didn't really rate the first one either.

Might be the most fun for sure, I love how the combat looks very impactful, and the reactive damage is really cool. Don't think we have anything of that scale.

smolinsk568d ago

No it absolutely will not. It looks cheap and Arcade like and way overdue. Its like the develop forgot there is a much better game out there in Dying Light 2 that does the same just much better.

This is why I wait until all DLC is released to play a game like this. I get it's better to release NG+ when all the DLC is in and done and no need to further patch it and a good reason to draw in older players, I just like to have it all in one go so I can finish it and move on, come back if it's worth playing again like a few games I tend to play once a year.

One of the absolute worst experiences for a game when it comes to endings. One of the worst endings that just leaves you dissatisfied

I'm happy I got this game, the story is on the weak side but the gameplay, the semi-open world and the DLC's are great. Got way more hours out of this than I ever thought I would and playing with friends is stupid fun.
