I wouldn't buy Dead Island at this point. With all its gameplay elements, I suspected it wouldn't be optimal playing it at launch (many big titles get released buggy these days), but I could not have imagined they would do a screwup-of-the-year by releasing a developer-xbox version on steam.

I heard so many bad things about the pc version of Dead island , since it's a console port , clunky controls , narrow FOV , no AA , stuttering with vsync , oh boy.

Maybe i should get it for the ps3 instead , and convince wierdy to play with me after she decides to get it.

kahaha XD
Well... you'll be waiting until after christmas-- but anyone playing on PS3 would be more than welcome to play with me!

I have heard about some bugs on the 360 version and PC version; but haven't heard much about the game itself for PS3; aside from the technical issues happening in multiplayer for all versions.
haha
Launch days are always pretty rough, though...
I still have high hopes!

I just started another game of Baldur's Gate 2 (there's a new mod that I want to try out when it's finished).

Also picked up a Heroes of Might and Magic set. I've played the first... 3 or 4. Then stopped. It's made me nostalgic for some Might and Magic though (another series where I stopped partway through), and I couldn't find any set that has all of the Might and Magic games (doesn't help that Heroes makes searching for just Might and Magic difficult).

And of course I can't wait for Skyrim (and mods for it when they come out). ...Makes me a bit nostalgic for Daggerfall. Agh, too much nostalgia!

Would be funny if it turned out to be the worse game of the year haha. But it cant get worse than X Blades or Hellboy: Science of Evil.

I really need a new game to play on my PS2! Any ideas? I love my RPGs like Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy and Persona. But I'd like to try anything :]

Heheh. Computer based, but since last year the most game I've still played has been Warband. Lovin' the game, despite all it's flaws.

The reviewers of this game gave it a pretty good score , so i'm guessing despite the flaws it's still a fun game , the game looks pretty good , i'm a sucker for tropical environments.

anything developed by Square Enix or Atlus is pretty solid as a JRPG for PS2. might I suggest "Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne" or Nippon Ichi Software's "Disgaea" and "Phatom Brave" series. if you don't mind backtracking a generation, the early "Suikoden" games are very solid.

absolutely no excuse for the current state of game (via PC steam launch).

it's just embarrassing. at standard AAA retail price, $49.99, really Techland? your consumers are NOT beta testers, we're not paying $50 to do so. we're paying $50 for an enjoyable experience. this is why people pirate their crap.

I understand that launches can be rocky, but honestly, 'Y' on the keyboard should not enable no-clip mode and let you fly through walls. it's blatantly obvious they had no testing phase whatsoever; I'm talking hundreds of bugs here, a handful of them making the game unplayable for certain people. as of now the co-op is completely unplayable, literally won't work at all after their first patch.

I want to enjoy the game, I really do. It looks to be an okay game, bugs aside, but it's just an outstanding display of laziness and disregard for the consumers.
