[ALL] Dead Island/Riptide

Saw this on my twitter feed...G4 has a list of what missions it takes to unlock certain weapons and where to find them.

[/spoiler]

What's your Twitter name? Are you following me?

Played last night for about 6 hours. Really fun co-op online once you get the hang of how everything goes.

Damn, six hours? You and your buddy must be pretty far.

Chapter 3.

Long story. We got caught on some really vague mission and spent like an hour and a half driving back and forth across the map.

 

[FedEx227]

We literally delivered boxes of juice for over an hour. Fuck.

Fun ass game though.

Hilarious.


I just wish I could hook up with three other people that would only play together so that way everyone is at the same point in the story at all times. But that is so hard to coordinate.

I'm like the only dude who has this for PS3 around here...

I wish to share my Undead Mashing triumphs with others

How do you increase lock picking skills?

How do you increase lock picking skills?

If you play as Purna, it's under the second tier of "Survival" perks.

You can put up to three points into it and it'll increase the percentage of opening up Lvl 1, 2, and 3 locks.

Dunno about the other characters but I can look into it today.

While I won't complain which system everybody gets this on, I will say that this game's chockful of bugs anyhow.

Particularly the checkpoint bug whenever you die.

The money loss is standard but the deterioration of your weapons stays the same regardless of how many times you die.

Aside from loading a save that'll erase half the progress you've made to get to a certain point, the Checkpoint Bug could leave you seriously screwed on later Acts.

As far as how the game looks, it's about the gameplay for me, not how it looks on my 56" HD Plasma in 1080p.

IF i find a deal on it i might grab it next time i get paid.

Update on the Unlocking Skill:

Logan has it on the Third Tier of his Survival Perk Track.

Xian has it on her Third Tier of the Survival Perk Track.

Sam B has it on the Third Tier of the Survival Perk Track as well.

You're supposed to throw the juice in the back of your truck.

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

i am on that same quest now...getting the juice boxes. one is down by the lifetower and the other by the tunnel......

anyway;
are you guys picking up all the available quests and running all over the place
OR
are you guys doing basically the main quests - the ones with the Red Flag.

i been grabbing all the quests and have been randomly running all over the place and grabbing all the loot.......

i playing Sam right now

 

[JayDizzle]

Running a Level 13 Purna right now.

I have points in Guardian and Attack Formation (1 tick) for my Fury Tree;

Blade Fighter, Vampire (1 tick), Hard Knocks (3 ticks so I get +15% on all Melee Attacks), Randori (1 tick), and Maintenance (1 tick) for my Combat Tree;

And Boost Mood, Deeper Pockets (1 tick), Picklock (1 tick) for my Survival Tree.

Aside from random missions that don't even show up on the log unless you actively seek them out (I found two by listening to radio transmissions and seeking them out), I think I'm almost all the way done with the Resort.

I have access to vehicles, 3 blue weapons and 3 greens and a pair of orange Knux that I break out on occasion if I get bored.

The two pistols I have aside from the one I get automatically while in Fury Mode are going to be saved for later.

Etc.: 5 Mods, 15 I.D.s, 7 Heralds and 2 tapes.

...and I haven't even found the skulls yet. :runaway:

We got em, but we couldn't find where to place them. We literally had no idea for like an hour and ran all over the map. Terrible.

More thoughts:

 

Chapters 1 and 2 were easy going enough once you armed yourself (for an awesome beach resort, everyone seems armed to the teeth with hammers, blades and other sharp instruments... HUGE oversight in the thought of internal security on the island) and got a handle of the controls.

Chapter 3? You're no longer outside, every corridor could be filled with more zombies than you know what to do with, and it's dark.

Once that flashlight goes out, you gotta kick every body on the floor just to make sure you're not slamming the trigger buttons all day.

This game keeps getting better and better.

EDIT: Also of note...

New console patch came out today.

ALL your challenge/trophy stats are set back to zero but you get to keep your earned trophies/cheevos.

TO CLAIRIFY: If you have a save handy, you'll keep your character's level/skills/weapon and item set for that particular save.

The patch only effected overall stat tracking before you boot up the game.

NOT an even trade but if it gets the game to work better, I'm for it...

...plus you have to play through Act 1 with all the characters to get a trophy/achievement anyway so...

WHOA....Whoa.... . . whoa

There is a dRK skin in this game?!?

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

has anybody considered playing or start playing multiple characters and leveling them up at the same time??
or
only doing the one character, finish game, start another character and start from beginning again??

cause there is so much "Open World" in this game, i am thinking doing multiple characters would give a taste of their strengths/weaknesses.

just curious.......
