Dead island is worth getting if you havent done so already!!

Ducky4363d ago (Edited 4363d ago )

Not really.
A GOTY edition is planned, and it's probably best to just wait for that to release.
There's also the upcomming summer sale which'll likely see it at a lower price as well.

So it's probably better to skip the deal
... if you have the patience that is.

MagicAccent4363d ago

Screw Dead Island, get the Thief games! :D

Steam, Y U NO release ARMA 2 Combined Operations with 50% discount? :(

MAJ0R4363d ago

Believe it or not Arma 2 hasn't really been on sale for a while. The last time was back in April 2011, and it was %60 off. The Arma X: Anniversary Edition has never been on sale.

Also Steam/Bohemia Interactive would be crazy to put it on sale going by the number of people are buying it regardless of price.

Thief - Taken From Us Too Soon

The Thief game series has had many ups-and-downs, and 2014's reboot showed a great deal of promise nearly a decade ago.

Notellin278d ago

This would be such a great franchise to reboot. A darker game than Dishonored, but focused around stealth and large scale heists from an oppressive monarchy.

That's probably my dream game. I love immersive sims and stealth!

Noskypeno278d ago

People say they hate forced stealth sections in games. But a game focused on stealth with good mechanics and level design feels refreshing from the guns blazing games which I also enjoy. I really enjoyed playing Splinter cell, a game that not many try to mimic today. Not too many games let you shoot lights out, or throw cans or bottles to distract guards. Sure there are games with stealth options like the new Wolfenstein but it doesn't feel necessary to play it that way. Hitman might be the only game that has that feeling, except for that Korean game that may or may not ever come out.

isarai278d ago

You should try the Sniper Elite games, so good, especially with coop

Notellin277d ago

Same here. I'm glad there are some other people who enjoy these types of games!

@isarai I tried Sniper Elite 5 and ended up really enjoying that one. Went back and played 4 as well!.

ModsDoBetter278d ago (Edited 278d ago )

The last one was a trainwreck and has been in the bargain bin since just after launch. If they bring it back, they need a massive change in direction.

Inverno278d ago

only direction they should take is putting it in reverse and going back to what the originals did. I couldn't finish this game, and I made a choice to never play it again. I watched a video about the og Thief and Deus Ex games and the current AAA standard will forever hold back these games. These 2 games alone had already solved so many problems with modern gaming that I don't think they'll get a chance at something great unless they're made by a dev that actually give a damn.

monkey602278d ago

Jesus the last installment sells at about 2 euro and even that is over paying for it. Absolutely diabolical game

SimpleSlave278d ago

Ups and Down? More like Up, UP, Pot Hole, Free Fall into the Abyss...

Rutaprkl278d ago

Thief Deadly Shadows remaster would be awesome.

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

CrimsonWing69413d ago

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