So Dead Island is on special on Steam for R80ish. Anyone know if this game, in it's current state, is worth playing?
 
Tin, imho is someone still playing it. If so then yes, but looking at my steam friends list... well it died out a few months already. We are all playing other things now.
 
I stand corrected - it's closer to R100.

I love zombies and tropical islands, so the idea of this game has always appealed to me. I know it was a bit of a disapointment, but 80/100 Metacritic score is not terrible. Also hoping that post release patches have made it more playable...
 
I still love it. Even solo, it's worth it at that price. One of the underrated titles of last year.
 
What ever the case. I played DI with my brother some months ago and I fully enjoyed it.
Want to go back to playing it again, but I'm playing just too many games ATM.

But, to answer the thread question... It's definitely worth R 100, if not more... :)
 
If you use steam it's a decent price. It can get a little stale after a while in singleplayer and I'm sure it's much more fun co-op but killing zombies is always fun especially at the price.
 
I also saw the special on steam and was wondering the same thing.
What does this game compare to?

- I've played Dead Rising, which wasn't bad.
- I tried Left 4 Dead 2, but never could get into that. Didn't like the game at all.
- Resident Evil 5 would have been fine if the main character could multitask... a guy that can't run and shoot at the same time has no business being anywhere near zombies... or any environment where guns are involved.
 
get a friend to buy it aswell for co-op, Its ok'ish to play solo but wayyy more fun with a friend
 
It feels like the Far Cry 2 of zombie games. Streeeeetched out and repetitive. That's the negatives. :p

R100 is more than worth it. For that price you will get some of most creative and imaginative ways to send zombies to their end. Zombies. This is a game about zombies. :D
 
What a lot of people seem to miss is that this isn't an FPS. It's an RPG, much like Diablo or Titan Quest, just in FPS perspective. You also have your levelling system and item collection works in much the same way as it does in most other hack 'n slash games.

Firstly it's about fscking time you made an appearance!! Secondly, I think you made a wise choice. R80 isn't all that bad imo and ja it's definitely a game that will keep you running for a good long time. Yeh it is a little repetitive but hell aren't most RPG games these days. :p
 
We still play it from time to time, The arena DLC is actually quite fan, but you can power level a bit to easy.
 
I have heard too many bad things about Dead Island, but it has Zombies in it..... really not sure.....
