HEEEEEEEEEEELL YEAAAAAAAAA!!!
Now i can finish one of my GOTY games!

Dead Island+BF3+Skyrim= My GOTY selection 2011

strange19865339d ago

So one of your GOTY choices has so many bugs that you can't finish until it gets patched? That would take it right out of the running for me.

jriquelme_paraguay5338d ago

yes.. so?
same happen with Fallout 3, but, i enjoyed a LOT...

:)

Im Chapter 14... btw

phantomexe5338d ago

fallout was bad and i mean real bad way worse then this.

squallheart5338d ago

Finally I refused to play it after all the freezing. So far its fun I only have one grip. I wish it didnt have a lot of weapons that made you think oh look a katana with electric powers didnt know they existed in this quiet little island. I wish it was more barebone survival it feels arcady. Hopefully one day a developer makes a game that combines horror, survival and stealth. Yes I said stealth because if ure going to not have insane powered up weapons u have to be able to sneak undetected around those zombies. Thats survival.

WillGuitarGuy5338d ago

Wow Shin Chan, you sound dumb. Did you ever play Borderlands when that was released? Did you see the amount of bugs it had? Do you know how many people loved and still love that game? Bugs don't break a game, they just keep them from being perfect.

MadMax5338d ago

I havent experienced any bugs so far and the game is really good. You really are missing out man. Dont judge a game on a few bugs.

I waiting for this game to arrive in the mail , hopefully they have most of the bugs worked out so I can see how good of a game this is..

strange19865338d ago

Well I suppose I should clarify my earlier comment. I'm not bashing Dead Island. In fact, I'm about 25 hours in and enjoying the hell out of it. If a game is really buggy (frustratingly so at times), though, I'd have a hard time putting it at the very top of my favorites list for the entire year.

I suppose Fallout 3 could be an exception for me, although I was fortunate enough not to experience too many crippling bugs, minus the occasional freeze which always pissed me off.

Anyhoo, that is all.

HebrewHammer5339d ago (Edited 5339d ago )

Ive lost interest...

Jobesy5339d ago

Your post says otherwise :/

HebrewHammer5339d ago

Wrong. What I was interested in was what could have possibly taken them a month to fix...

One-X5339d ago

It's not even been a month and you've lost interest in this great game? Your loss, I'll be here with my Wakizashi plowing my way through zombies whilst you miss out 8)

HebrewHammer5338d ago

No thanks! i've grown tired of the level scaling enemies, broken co-op, dissappearing weapons, laughable AI, and lackluster narrative.

I'll stick with my Resistance 3 and God of War Origins Collection, thank you very much!

joydestroy5339d ago

f*** yes, finally! they pulled the first one so i hope they figured out where they went wrong. really excited about finishing this with my friends

TopDudeMan5339d ago

Maybe I should get this soon, then.

Dead Island 2 devs believe a Dead Island remake would be a “mistake”

We might be in the age of remasters, but it doesn't look like the Dead Island 2 devs believe remaking the original game is the right move for the series.

but remakes require far less effort for these companies and they can still charge $70 for them!

Feel like everyone makes fun of Skyrim re-releasing like 18 times yet applaud these remasters elsewhere. Would much prefer NEW games

CrimsonWing691146d ago

Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!

Dead Island's 2011 reveal is still the best game trailer of all time

Josiah Motley of KnowTechie writes: "I love video game trailers. While I don’t believe they are an integral part of a game’s success (especially these days), there’s something about a well-produced trailer that really just reminds me why I like video games."

Also the most misleading of all time

SDuck1558d ago

How so? Because it focused on a family that you see dying? (innocent question, haven't gotten a chance to play any Dead Island game yet)

aconnellan1558d ago

More the tone of it - the tone of the trailer suggested something personal and dramatic, but the game was very much reminiscent of Left 4 Dead in that you were just there to kill zombies and nothing more

Ashby_JC1558d ago

You play as a singular character there is no family involved at all in the game. Still a stand out trailer that I remember clearly from years ago.

Fntastic1558d ago (Edited 1558d ago )

Did you not like the game?

I remember going in expecting a L4D style of game, but the excessive camera swaying honestly made me feel ill, and it's rare for a game to do that to me, still don't understand why the need for anything other than maybe a subtle slight camera movement when doing melee attacks etc. Other than that i didn't really find the game that good. In all honesty i had more enjoyment out of DNF, and i know many people crap on that game.

BioShockGX1557d ago

I still remember this misleading controversy

RickRoland1558d ago

It’s the music. It’s perfect. I agree with this for sure, it is well choreographed….unfortunately the game didn’t live up to the trailer.

brewin1557d ago

Maybe not, but it was still a good game. I liked how they expanded things with Dying Light, but Dead Island was a great first attempt! I really liked all the Easter eggs and homages to other horror franchises sprinkled throughout. Sure it was a little cheesy and over there top, but it was a good happy medium between Far Cry and Fallout with zombies.

I'm gonna heavily disagree with that.

CrimsonWing691558d ago

Have you ever seen any of the MGS 3 or MGS 4 trailers? Those blow this out of the water for me.

TricksterArrow1558d ago

They require prior knowledge of the franchise, tho. You show this trailer to anyone, and I mean ANYONE, and they can understand what's going on and relate to the family dynamic almost immediately. No need to know who is Snake, or Fox Hound, or Raiden, or Metal Gear...

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

autobotdan1772d ago

The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago

Vits1772d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1771d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1771d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1771d ago (Edited 1771d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.
