Fuck you in the face. WHY WAS I SUCKERED IN BY CLEVER MARKETING?! WHY DID I NOT PIRATE THIS GAME LIKE A SMART CONSUMER!?

And why the fuck is a quicktime event even REMOTELY acceptable for PC Gaming. EVER. Much less each time I want to open a fucking door or kick away a god damned zombie. I have a mouse for that, so I DON'T have to be a controller-gripping donkey fucking afterbirth dripping buttfucked pigeon faced cocktard.

That is all.

PS - Releasing dev code to Steam prior to release and not noticing this fact until AFTER you've unlocked makes future DLC purchases a guarantee!

I knew that first backwards trailer was just setting us all up for disappointment.

I saw a 3-page ad with a half-naked asian chick dripping with blood holding a katana in a PC mag a while back for the game. My initial response was "No, you're trying to hard."

It was the trailer that got me. I figured that at the very LEAST they'd have enough respect for the genre (yeah yeah, such that it is) to at least have something decent there.

They almost got me, but I opted for Space Marine instead and no regrets there.

You guys gotta get Gamefly. Even Deus Ex, which I *loved*, gets old after beating it. Should be getting Space marine in a few days.

Gamefly don't rent PC games.

They keep promising some kind of digital delivery for PC games soon.

Hmm.. it's getting solid reviews. I want to give it a shot. Too busy playing through Fallout 3 GOTY edition for the 3rd time right now though.

See, and I think much of those have to do with the "consolization" of gaming. In this case, while they claim it wasn't a port, they still don't have basic shit like VSync, proper mouse acceleration, FOV (not even through a hack/workaround) and to even set high-end shadows and the like you need to cfg dig and set it to read-only.

The game itself, has some GREAT concepts, but none of them really come together. It's not nearly as open as I'd hoped (and Dead Rising does better in this area, surprisingly), the AI is TERRIBLE, the "quests" and missions are tired and dated. The lack of model variety and the limitation of on-screen enemies is also not acceptable in this day and age. The voice acting is also not too terrible, but honestly, it seems like they just took the voice actors from Bioshock, made some harmonic adjustments and left the same fucking dialogue. One of the PC's you can play as (black guy with blunt specialty), is especially laughable. For the first part of the game thus far ALL he says is "Yeaahh." It sounds EXACTLY like the guy from Trading Places (in the jail/bar/party scenes). Check it out and compare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEcXp8_I8CY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qLPdI7bZnI

On the positive, the coop is incredible and VERY fun to play. In this regard, it's a lot like what L4D2 should have been in my view. The environments are also extremely well done. This is definitely a prime candidate for the game that should've been, but wasn't. I'm sorry, but as much as I want to like it, and as much fun as it can be at times, it's not enough to overcome the rest and any immersion just comes crashing down. While that's fine if you're an ADD consoler, I expect more from a PC non-port.

This made me laugh:

Lol, they ripped off the aliens from Mars Attacks for that run.

Is that a weapon damage meter on the top right? How the fuck do you break a crowbar hitting people?

I'm glad I didn't buy that. And for all the other reasons too.

FOV setting is in Data0.pak\Data\Skills\default_levels.xml

Change <prop n="CameraDefaultFOV" v="62.5"/> to 80 or 90.

Givin, I would like to fornicate with you in a submissive fashion now.

<cue the gallery>

Side note: You can change the shadows and additional graphics settings in the cfg file, but you've got to set it to read only. This actually makes a huge difference. This combined with the FOV will help some.

Dead Island Helper. Utility to modify many of the game settings without having to actually edit files manually.

I chose to look at it as a symbolic homage to being a hobo, which was awesome for about 4 hours then it just got really annoying.

Okay, this is fair. The thread was dead for 16 months, but I just bought this thing and played through like six hours of it before getting sick of playing what was obviously an alpha, so that's fair.
