All you really need to know about the first game's story is that at the end the characrers finally manage to escape the island they and the zombies are stuck on and for some reason decide to take with them a local islander who's excplicitly told to be infested and is going to turn into a zombie thus literally being the cause for the second zombie outbreak.

[@McKae00]

The island was already infected before Riptide took place. There was another research lab on that island too and it was the cause of this outbreak

[@MrQwertysystem]

@@McKae00 Honestly I'll admit that it has been long enough and the story was so boring that it's possible that I've forgotten if that really was the case. All I can remember is how angry I was at the end of Dead Island when the characters decide to take the woman they KNEW to be infected with them off the island.

[@Faded______]

the guy who they took with them on the helicopter was not infected, he was a prisoner at the high security prison who helped them get to the heli pad, but he was not infected/bitten.

[@dksoulstice6040]

Dead Island Riptide is a lot harder to jump straight into if you didn't play Dead Island first. In Dead Island, the game incrementally introduces new zombie types throughout the Acts. In Riptide, the game throws pretty much all of them at you within a few hours. And the game in general has higher density of enemies almost constantly whereas in Dead Island, they took it easy on you in the Resort and some sections of town. Plus the tower defense sections which don't exist in Dead Island.

Kevin blowing himself up with a grenade while drunk made me think. Games with drunk mechanics should really do more than floompy vision. Like double vision. Or when you throw a grenade it looks like you did good, but then it blows up way off from where it looked like it went, or cuts to an animation of it actually being at your feet before you die. Some games do the random puking, but they could do more.

[@hmmyeah467]

A zombie killing game doesnt need a story, it just needs zombie killing. It can be goofy. Hell i remember the first time i played the first game with one of my friends. The scene that i remember most is the first ripper encounter. Im poking fun of it calling it a predator look alike and the such. Im playing the throwing expert, and tell him to wait after the cutscene, of course he asked why? Right. Patience. The ripper starts running through the alley way, i ready some basic blunt weapon, it gets a little bit closer. I toss this weapon, straight in the head... it collapses. Not dead, my friend not missing a beat throws his weapon, as soon as it gets back up. Then we run up and beat it to death, fun times.

i remember how you could not take a hit. If a Zombie had an item in hand and threw it, you could not doge it (likely you also didnt see the Z in the first placce) and it was a guaranteed one hit kill, because they did damage based on the weapon it threw, which likely was much higher than your life. Dodging was impossible due to some sort of lag and or to small movements/exhaustion. Knockback was compleley random and never worked, unless you threw your weapon. Guns were unusable due to the level scaling making them do no damage (ir was that just in the first one, where headshotting a human was an instant kill but Zs took like 30 bullets?) The ultimate of the blunt weapon user were his knuckels and the one of the fist user was a stick, which just made no sense. Throwables were useless in higher levels. And so much more

[@mr.gandersson2835]

After about 2/3 days I start having headaches due to the motion blur of the game (especially when climbing the rock walls through roots) and the visual all busted. After about 2 weeks we finished the game and I got angry, because I told my friend to wait before seeing the last cut scene, so that I could get all the missing trophies but nothing, he convinced me to watch it anyway and, according to him, “even after the last cutscene you can still go back to the last checkpoint”. So eventually I found myself, alone, having to do everything I play AGAIN. I was so frustrated that about a year later I convinced my friend to play together again because he had tricked me; after less than 1 week he decided to abandon me again and it was again just myself and Xian wandering around that damned island.

The first part is way better for start than the Riptide. It's a clunky mess but really fun in co-op

Not gonna lie. If dying light didn't come out this was gonna be the best zombie game in the gaming history. When i was a teenager i played dead island first than played mirror's edge. Than thought to myself. "Man if only there was a game combine this 2 games, damn.. that would be awesome". After that they announced dying light. I remember the times trying to play dying light like 15 20 fps. i was searching the whole youtube for fps boost :p good times.. good times.. oh and yeah, when i played left 4 dead for the first time (that was my first zombie game) i was so scared i asked my grandma to sleep with her. she said "You wanna sleep with me because of that game isn't it ?" I was too embarrassed to tell her the truth. I miis my granma so f*cking much... respect and love your elders, when they gone they gone..

"If a game does decently well it must get a sequel" *cries in Days Gone

[@zzodysseuszz]

Days gone was not even close to a decent game. Ignoring everything else wrong with the game it was a huge snoozefest

Nah I remember most people being being pretty happy with Dead Island Riptide when it released. I never played it myself but I remember all my friends playing it and bunch of old major KZbinrs playing it. Tbh it would've been better if it was just a dlc than actual stand alone game.

Pepole disliked dead island riptide?im honstky surprised I found the game mildly amusing

[@SavanBerry]

And just when I'm playing dead island 1 right now and suddenly this video appears. No doubt a rare coincidence indeed.

Played both and honestly i didn't find them that bad, yea sure the story was kinda uninteresting and some of the character were kinda generic but i loved the whole tropical island vibe and the fact each character had specialised skills made the game pretty enjoyable. The weapon variety in melee weapons was decent but the firearm ones was severely lacking i just wish the new upcoming game improved upon all these aspects but overall a pretty fun experience nonetheless
