[ALL] Dead Island/Riptide

[godspeed]

A couple of quick questions:

-I just started Chapter 3. I still have just basic weapons I've found. Will there be an upgrade in weapons soon? Do I have to buy them or something? When does the weapon mods take place?

-A couple of friends are getting the game and we are going to do coop online. How does it work? I'll have to start from the beggining with them? Will I lose all the skills and stuff I accumulated?

Thanks in advance.

You get better weapons as you progress.

There's base weapons that level up later on (finding a Level 5 pipe then a Level 15 pipe later); on top of that, you have Color Coded weapon to get that have improved stats and rarity so you'll get more cash when you sell them.

Weapon mods come in rewards for missions (weapon mod plans or modded weapons themselves) or Weapon plans you can find hidden around the game.

I'm still plugging away at this game. Only at 25% completion. I don't have alot of time to play action/adventure type games, so they take me awhile. Then they sit there and by time I play them, I forgot what the hell I was doing..lol.

But I really do like this game so I'm going to keep playing when I have time. Some of the missions are really long, but I like pretty much most of them.

When you get to Act II, shit gets real...

Fuck a jungle or a jail cell... if you're trapped in a blind alley between a Ram and some Infected, you're El Fuck-o'd.

Ya I just started ACT II so I am in the city. I know the story line is simplistic with a zombie outbreak, but it still brings you in. Just going through the island and resort looks big enough, then bam all of a sudden you venture off it into the city.

This has become one of my favorite games.

Ok so I'm treading along in this game. Don't really get much time to sit down with it, but still enjoying it when I can.

I'm about half way through the game,,when does weapon modding and all that stuff happening??

Dizzle and I are looking to get a foursome going with this game on PS3. Does anyone still have it that wants to play?

 

[Sharkweather]

Just got it over Christmas, have yet to fire it up but hope to do so soon.

Yup.

 

[Buzzman]

I have it as well on the ps trip.

 

[Twigg4075]

Yup.

Fuck off. You've been asking me to play this for a few weeks. Then I message you over every avenue I could think of (PSN, text, Voxer)and get no response.

As for anyone that is serious about playing, we aren't very far in so we'll keep you in mind the next time we play.

 

[wingsfan77]

I didn't get either your or Dizzle's messages until this morning, I never get any PSN messages so I never check. I haven't logged onto Voxer for a while so I didn't get that and I don't have any texts from you...anyway, I'll be around for most of today until the girlfriend comes over tonight so I'll play.

 

[Twigg4075]

Maybe tomorrow night. It depends on whether Dizzle and I jump on RE6.

I should give you guys a heads up that my game completely froze while playing with Dizzle the other night. I did some research and it appears to be fairly common when playing online. Ugh. Word on the interwebs is that it seems to happen when there is a lot of action on screen. The framerate doesn't chug or anything but the game just frezzes. When it froze for us we were being swarmed by several zombies and went to kick one in the face and it froze.

I've seen helmets, dogtags, quad-rotor remote controlled helicopter... things, an RC Car camera and even a Chainsaw gun.

But not this:

Check your calendar just to be sure it's not April Fools' Day: This is 100% real. In anticipation of its upcoming zombie slasher Dead Island: Riptide, developer Deep Silver has revealed a new bundle option for gamers in the UK. Named the "Zombie Bait Edition," the package comes with some fancy artwork, DLC weapons, and... a woman's bikini-clad torso, drenched in blood.

The model stands roughly a foot high, complete with what appears to be claw and bite marks, exposed ribs, and a Union Jack-themed bikini that leaves very little to the imagination. It might seem a bit cheesy, and a bit tasteless, and a bit disgusting... but Deep Silver sales and marketing director Paul Nicholls is pretty sure you're going to love it.

"Dead Island: Riptide is one of the most anticipated releases of the year and is set to build on the original's reputation for OTT action, dark humor and brutal zombie bashing," Nicholls claims. "We wanted to provide a unique collector's edition that was utterly Dead Island and would make a striking conversation piece on any discerning zombie gamer's mantel."

While it took me only a few seconds to cherry pick the details but...

This might be the one thing that any collector here on this site would avoid.

Shit's creepy.

Have to get on beating this game since the new one is set to drop in a few months.

"I like it... I like it... I... like... it!"

 

[BigBucs]

Fuck everybody. I just hopped on to try and get a little closer to beating this shit before the new one comes out, Im prompted to update the shit and when it finally loads my saved game is no longer there. :rage: This is some bullshit. I know I was pretty close to beating it. Think I had less than %30 left in the main storyline if not less.

I had to playthrough it twice because when I bought it first-day, the game still had the bug that didn't tally certain side-objectives.

I still have trophies I should have that I might never get before Riptide hits because of it.
