The Screamo Zombie was hilarious. Also the chick in the bikini sitting down looks like she has something only men should have.

jimineyscrickets4616d ago

The best and worst part of any open-world game is the fact that bugs are so hard to weed out entirely. Makes for some rather funny, and sometimes frustrating, experiences.

ChrisW4615d ago

I think it's an Easter Egg in her bikini

WillGuitarGuy4616d ago

Screamo zombie: uuugghhRAAAAAAA

Me: I love that song. :D

TheObserver4616d ago

There's a Glitch on the PS3 when my friend spins in circle really fast he teleports somewhere random. He did it twice. Not sure if it is repeatable.

nemesiscw4615d ago

I've played this game for 2 hours and I've encounter more than my fair share of glitches (Steam Version).

1) Items and zombies respawn in the same manner. Right outside the starting area, there's a female zombie banging on a changing stall with a male zombie inside. Kill them move away to do a quiest, come back, BAM. Same zombies with same items laying next to them. In one of the houses, there's a zombie with a different name handcuffed to a bed. Decapitate her and move along with my business. Come back 5 minutes later, there she is again.

2) At the start I get two error messages. One saying something like "&#DLC_MISSING$#@&quo t; then "&%#DLC_CORRUPT&% $"

3) There's an optional quest item that's locked inside a house with no way in.

There are tons of annoying things about the game too:

1) Mouse sensitivity. In-Game, the default is: move the mouse a cm, turn 360 degrees. Go turn it down in the options? In the menus, you have to move your mouse a total of 5 feet to get to one side to the other.

2) Escourt missions. A guy WALKS from the start to finish with zombies chasing after you guys. he doesn't fight, he doesn't wait for you. He just walks.

3) Can't use numbers to change weapons. Ohh nonno, you have to press one button to "scroll" through the weapons.

There's a lot more too...

Arnon4615d ago

It was announced that some people were unfortunate enough to receive the debug version of the game on Steam. However, the game has been updated to the final version at this point. Try it again and see.

ChrisW4615d ago

#2 got fixed.

And more fixed coming as they try their damnest to make it the game that it's suppose to be.

jeseth4615d ago

Its funny that some games get passes for being total glitch fests like this and others don't.

I really wanted this game but the amount of glitch and bug problems being reported only tell me that the game wasn't ready. I think people/reviewers WANTED this game to be better than it really IS. Thats what I'm getting from all these articles. People make excuses for games that they want to succeed. Its like they have a personal agenda they are trying to impose on people.

Devs and Publishers shouldn't be rewarded for a rushed product.

zag4615d ago

yes but I think a lot of it comes from dead island not being hugely pushed as well.

so it's not so bad.

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

CrimsonWing69407d 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

SDuck819d 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)

aconnellan819d 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_JC819d 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.

Fntastic819d ago (Edited 819d 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.

BioShockGX818d ago

I still remember this misleading controversy

RickRoland819d 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.

brewin818d 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.

CrimsonWing69819d ago

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

TricksterArrow819d 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.

autobotdan1033d 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

Vits1033d ago

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

MetalProxy1033d ago

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

porkChop1033d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1033d ago (Edited 1033d 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.
