I did the coop there, much more fun though they really need to sort out the voip soon, its stupid that you cant disable it and use TS. Thug zombies are much easier with 2 people.

Yes much easier, one distracts the other clobbers them from behind. My partner had cut both arms off one and he tuned around and headbutted me as I went to attack him

I've played Dead Island on the PC and I'm underwhelmed. Poor effort, zombies that re-appear if you return to the area you left, same applies to first aid and supplies. Bored of kicking zombies, really doesn't want me to keep playing. Too many energy drinks and the difficulty level is set too easy. A game best suited to consoles imo. And it's in funking daylight! There is no real hook to want me to play it for any considerable length of time.
It's a shame really. 3/10

How long have you been playing? Run by zombies if ye don't want to kick them. As Pc gamer(and console gamer), I'm telling you it gets harder a bit later. My problem is the spawning system, it's like bioshock again. But you do lose money for dying. There is nighttime later as well. Also since you think it's only day time I take it your still in the first area, there's cars all over the place, just do quests and use cars.

I heard it picks up a lot when you get to the city, apparently it gets way harder, and it becomes night time.

Has it got the scare factor?

No, it has the atmosphere though so long as you play alone. Zombies are only scary because Resident evil odd angles and music made them so. They are what you'd expect them to be in this.

Zero-Cool

You get the odd jumps, some of those zombies are sneaky bastards. I'm sure things will get creepier when it comes to night time.

Same, it was sold out in both Gamestop and GAME in the Square on Sunday.

It's not worth playing until the next patch comes out anyway, I loaded up my save from last night earlier and lost 7 hours. No way I'm playing through that again because it may not save it again. And even if you delete the first patch and start playing from there, you can't complete quests because the game is broken. It's shameful that they released it like this, it's a great game but don't touch it until it's working properly.

Jericho, what platform you playing on? Can you say if you read my post on the last couple of pages about the save glitch and how to avoid it? losing 7 hours is crap man, would put me off playing again

Playing on PS3, so if I choose, LAN - Co-Op, it should be fine?

Zero-Cool

Sorry bout double post stupid phone. Anyway, not sure man. I play on single player option and havnt encountered save glitch yet. I heard the glitch happens when your game is available for other people to join so lan should be ok. still sucks you lost that time. anyone on ps3 up for some co op tonight?

Damo 2k9

The game gets much harder as you go along, struggling without a co op partner in the city.

Also, could anybody help with this quest, trying to find someone

Best reason to own this on PC....MODS

Dead Island facebook page announced they are working on a new patch to cover all platforms and are listening to peoples feedback and issues. They will be providing details ASAP.

Jerichoholic

Played a couple more hours with the Co-op/LAN config. Quit to main menu, terrified to load up now but I'll do it.

Seems ok, cheers sheehy83.

Zero-Cool

cool! i'l be doing the same! When I do decide to go online for co-op, i'll prob go into someone elses game so won't have to worry about saves, although I hope it saves your levelling up for your single game as well?

Raze_them_all

yeah it does also saves what weapons you pick up

Bonesy.

anyone on ps3 wanna play co-op add me PSN: Vdka_Shotzz

Just encountered my 1st glitch. On Misery Wagon on chapter 4. Don't use the truck to kill the zombies at the workshop. I sent one through the door where he was stuck and couldn't kill him, therefore mission was stuck. Had to reload last checkpoint which was just a minute away so not so bad but heads up. Plus I just found out how to heal myself stupid circle button facepalm!

Had a frustrating time getting the flares from the shipwrecks, I broke both of the Thugs arms but he kept nailing me, seemed he was absolutley fine every time I went back to him. He killed me about 10 times no lie.

Raze_them_all

anybody else come across the invisble boxes for the help sign?

Yupp, that was the 1st hard bit for me, ran out of weapons and kept getting killed. There is a red propane tank around there. throw it as feet and throw a stick or whatever, will kill him in one go.

You have to pick up boxes and place them in the 'see through' boxes to complete the sign

Thats a quest not a glitch
