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
Richard who says hes in a lifeguard tower by the beach

Is that the radio message you hear somewhere so say he is

in a lifeguard town surrounded by zombies

??????? If so it's in the

mid / upper east of the map where the houses are on stilts and the area is likely green still on the map marked as unexplored, it's hard to miss once you are there

Wow sold out ? Looks like all those negative reviews really put people off

koneko · 13-09-2011 12:54pm

Couple of friends have been trying to get it but find it's sold out everywhere they go

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.

I was playing last night and got to the r

eturn to the hotel to get the truck

section. THAT was ****in scary. I was on edge the whole time. Especially when youd come across a room full of zombies and be like, ****, how the hell do i get past these?? Hearing the noises of the zombies, creeping around the corridors, and the blind panic when you realize there 3 or more infected charging you down was AMAZE. This game is the best zombie game ive ever played. Captures the whole survival aspect of the genre perfectly.

Yeh people are buying it just to throw it in the bin, its that bad like!

ScumLord · 13-09-2011 1:36pm

There are loads of copies in every shop in Galway.

Zero-Cool · 13-09-2011 2:34pm

I'm in the sewers just started chapter 7 and found a room with a stacked pile of skulls,with a red arrow painted on the wall pointing down at them. Anyone know what these are for? I can't pick em up or interact with them at all.

Zero-Cool · 13-09-2011 2:46pm

never mind, appaerently it is a drop off point that gives you blueprints for dev weapons when you place a certain coloured skull on it.

You mean orange? It's a developer custom weapon mod blueprint. You'll find the orange skull somewhere in the supermarket (look it up on youtube where exactly it) and then bring it back to where you see the skulls with arrow on the wall.

This looks like on seriously good game!!!

Zero-Cool · 13-09-2011 2:58pm

I was a bit worried about fighting

humans

but have to say i love the gun play in it! Cleaver is by far my favourite weapon, the bloody mess that gets left behind after a fight is unreal! Also, good idea to unlock blunt expert for sam b as he gets a stomp that kills grounded zombies in one go. Very useful.

Everyone gets that perk when they buy out their specialty in the middle of the middle column of skills. Really handy for thugs if you can knock them over in a car and get out quick enough

Spunge · 13-09-2011 3:33pm

WHy did i put 2 points in jump attack

13-09-2011 3:44pm

If you could get the bus to Galway you could buy it. There was so many copies on the shelves everywhere I went it was like Karma was mocking me for preordering it on cdwow.

Game is so horribly laggy on the PS3. It cant handle all too much before it gets laggy/freezing

Zero-Cool · 13-09-2011 7:22pm

I hate this so called "wrap" music. Yet I love that intro.

PS3 patch incoming to fix a few different issues but mainly the autosave and trophy issues

PS3 Update- The Dead Island development team is right now working on a patch to optimize the gaming experience on the PS3. The patch will, among some other tweaks, improve the game's autosaving system and also fix issues with the trophy system.

The patch will be available as soon as possible, the team is working on it full steam - thanks for your patience!

chrislad · 13-09-2011 10:49pm

Feckin' sewers have me traumatised! Glad I invested fully in the charge/ram attack. Run and smash!!

Bonesy. · 13-09-2011 11:06pm

anyone beaten it yet?

calex71 · 13-09-2011 11:47pm

Ok through the sewers and now in the posh part of town but I got a cutscene were they referance

those assholes in the police station

I heard them on the loud speaker but never found the place, did I miss anything there or was that just bad plot pathing on the devs part
