bro i remember playing this when it first came out but there was this one mission which was the hardest i played ( i was also a child). you had to defend a village or something and there was sooooo many infected and ogres (i thought they were called butchers) but you have to defend the village and it took me hours to complete. hope to see a part 2 and see that mission. love the content keep it up!

[@ItsSamStone]

Dude, I LOVE Sam B. Seriously. As a real rapper, I do. I forgot what the dudes real name is but man... if Sam B was around in the 90’s and early 2000’s he would’ve been a straight up RL famous rapper. He’s got such a great vocal tone, delivery, and when paired with a hard hitting beat like “Who Do You Voodoo” it’s absolute fire. 🔥 Also, gameplay is all him, man. Beat character in the game, hands down. As soon as I saw him as a playable character, I was like... bruh of course I’m gonna choose Sam B! Cold azz dude in a trench coat. I know you don’t get to “see” Sam when playing (it’s an FPS) though, it would’ve been nice to have the Abraham Lincoln/T-Pain style top hat. 🤣 But yeah... it’s so cool that he’s in Riptide. Me and some really cool dude on modded PS3 just finished the first game yesterday. He told me I should get Riptide so hearing Sam B is also in this makes me so stoked. I already downloaded the game and am gonna start playing likely this weekend. I’ll prob hit up my new PSN homeboi and start coop’ing it with him too. Anyways, awesome review. Very thorough and this game sounds like a dang blast... I know the first entry in this series was. Love Dead Island and I think I’m going to love this Di: Riptide too!

Yeah I’m just now completing it for the third time in two weeks because I actually like the zombie slaying more in it than Dead Island 1, and the skills make you feel way more like a zombie slaying badass than the original did, plus it’s way shorter than the original (easier to beat repeatedly), and its missions are somehow more fun and it feels like they give you more money to upgrade than in the first.

Riptide is such a classic. It was my very first and only DI game I played. Had an absolute blast with it and i mained John Morgan throughout the story and NG+. His ability to sometimes auto revive after death is sick. Not to mention he has one of the best special attacks in the game, being a running spartan kick that sends dudes FLYING

The gameplay was better in riptide

[@beefjerky007]

100% better. They buffed the guns to actually be not garbage, the leveling is much faster and let’s you get to the fun skills significantly faster, and John is probably the most fun character to play out of the five imo.

Ive seen people complain that its unplayable and the combat doesn't work and a whole bunch of stuff like that. What a load of rubbish. I never had any problems with it. Plays totally fine.
