    i wish they added a propper story to it though, its getting really repetitive and boring doing the same thing over and over again.
    go to the petrol station to get some gas, go to the petrol station to get some food, go to the petrol station to get some water, go to the petrol station to reactivate the generator.
    god its fetch this, fetch that!
    they should of called it fetch island!

    Dead Island II confirmed, then.

  • nick

    would be nice.
    another thing its missing is the advanced texture system they showed off in the early tech demos.
    they were showing how if you slash a zombie you could see each layer of skin and if deep enough the bone was really cool!
    each time you hacked away at a zombie you could see the wound it left and a piece of flesh would be laying on the ground.

    And they left that out? Shame.

  • nick

    think so i have not noticed it.
    one thing that needs changing is no matter where you strike a zombie their limbs always come off at the socket.
    strike a zombie in the finger and his whole arm comes off!
    WTF?
