Instead, Dead Island was one of the best in thoose years, extremely fun to play arround zombie physics, visual weapon decay, ultra satisfying kicks and overal extremely funny to play with friends. When I was younger this game scared the shit out of me when I played alone so I would always wait for a friend to do so, then IT has at least, a litte creepy atmosphere.

[@nousername2942]

This game is still a ton of fun. It was always corny lol. IIRC you could just collect alcohol bottles and get shitfaced, and if you left your games public there'd be a high likelihood of someone giving you modded guns. Really great screw around game when I was in middle & high school

[@ArchieDude]

I ended up 100%ing this game with all 4 characters, and put over 500+ hours into it. The combat was just really satisfying and joining other players games to help them out and show them all the secrets was great fun. If the phrase "so bad it's good" was a game this would be the one 👍

[@EhurtAfy]

I am about to finish my first playthrough and I owned it on PS3. I never got very far, but me and a buddy are at 90%. I thought it was going to take like 15 hours, but it's been closer to 40 and not done yet. I'm playing the Definitive Edition on Steam. Environments are beautiful, characters and animation not so much. I could definitely see myself putting many more hours into it. It's refreshingly straightforward unlike more modern games with daily quests and other dumb stuff

[@KingJames-ei4io]

[@EhurtAfy]

@@KingJames-ei4io I feel like newer games always throw a wrench in the works to keep things fresh. Dead Island doesn't really 'iterate' on it's gameplay very much throughout the story. There aren't many surprises, game has a few 'heavies' like the Floaters or Rams it throws at players, but it's indeed stale. This is actually something I appreciate. Dead Island has good, simple gameplay that I can shut my brain off for and relax after a hard day of work. It's not for everyone though. So many new games feel like a second job, except they don't earn me money 😐

Almost everything mentioned in this thread so far were already in Left 4 Dead 2 in 2009. The only part that wasn't is the decaying weapons element, which really wasn't necessary in the first place.

Following this, some of his followers dislike-bombed my videos and left hateful comments, and fearing more from his sizeable community, my self-confidence hit rock bottom, and I deleted all my videos, while delisting my most popular (I was not big by any means, but I was on the slow rise and passionate, with two 20k and 30k-view videos).

I really don't see how this game is generic, besides borderlands there is no other zombie game at that time I can remember that adopted the "looter shooter" philosophy within a zombie game.

It wasnt that generic over a decade ago (until the expansion/'sequel' and then Dying Light, etc.) and it wasnt really meant to be serious & gritty, the premise is an over-the-top zombie apocalyse killing spree in a sunny tropical wonderland. It just had a killer CGI trailer that was only vaguely related to the game (e.g. zombies at a resort). The actual sequel, which took even longer to be made, looks to be much the same but improved mechanically & visually.

I don't think it's that generic.

Dead Island isn't a game that you play for the story. Dead Island is a game that you play because you just want to beat up zombies without a time limit, and the story objectives really just serve the purpose of keeping you going. The only real problem with the game is that outside of playing with friends, it doesn't do much to keep you interested because of how generic the story feels.

[@warwolfman]

One of my favourite moments of gaming happened in Dead Island 1 we were using the car somehow hit a curb flew up 3 metres got stuck halfway through a wall got out fell far enough to kill 2 of the 4 of us leaving just me and 1 other player who just said to me "remember where we parked" and ran off before dying to a Suicider I just sat there laughing until I got killed by a random infected. It's been more than 10 years since then and I still remember that one single moment clearly don't remember sh## from the rest of the game though and I played it enough to level up Logan to max on like 4 profiles.

I genuinely enjoyed the first dead island when it came out - also chose Sam cause of his rage ability, and big hammers are cool! Though I ended up throwing them at enemies half the time, and that was still solid. I do believe that the Voodoo song he sings is kinda cool (even bought it on iTunes, back in the day when people paid for music) and I will hold that the Dead Island Trailer where the events are in reverse is the absolute BEST game trailer I've ever seen - it legit brought tears to my eyes, it was emotional and intense and I loved it. The game is aggressively 6/10 in design but it's easy to play and never demands you pay too much attention, making it easy for me to relax with in the evenings. Seriously, that trailer still sets the bar for me.

It is possible to level up to max level very early on. At the beginning, instead of running all the way down the hall to initiate the cutscene there is a room to the left. Push the zombie blocking the door out of the way and then jump onto the bed. The zombies won't be able to reach you, and they can be hit. Now, knock them over and get the instant curbstomp kills. They will give massive xp for being so high of a level. Reload the checkpoint once all the zombies have been dealt with and boom! Easy leveling.

[@Frankenstein110]

The thing I actually loved the most about this game was the manual aiming mode. Took a little getting used to, but you could aim at a specific body part and hold L2 to go into a lock on mode and then flip the right stick from left to right for a swing for example. Made the controls feel like Skate or something. It let you strategically aim for limbs and cut them off.

The room with the 3 toothbrushes is the room from the trailer where the Little girl is falling out the window.

Unpopular opinion: you'll never truly experience dying light the way it was meant to be if you haven't played dead island at some point beforehand. You'll notice some stuff they used in dead island also in dying light as a small and unmentioned tribute, mostly just reused assets or models around the map and stuff like that

for real you can completely shit on it until the end of time and I'll agree with you all the way but also love it at the same time. both dead island and riptide are a mess but a really fun mess. its like playing in the mud, you are only there to get dirty and have a good time.

If you were struggling to drive in The Resort, you're gonna have a tough time in the City of Moresby lol. This was my first zombie game on PS3 and one of my favourites of that generation. On PS4 I play both Dead Island and Dying Light, they're both amazing for their time, love 'em lots!

The trailer for the game revealed what happened to the couple lying on the floor.
