Dead Island any good?

Has anyone here purchased Dead Island? I am looking into getting it but i'm not sure if its going to be a game that I can get into and stick to it the whole way through. I'm usually not big on Zomie games, but I love open world RPG's, so I am going to hopefully give this a go.

It has lots of problem now, they released the wrong build on Steam and there are also quite a few bugs, but I pre-ordered anyway :P (glad that EU didn't get it like this, still 2 days to go) for the same reason, I'm not big on zombie games, but I love open world games and apparently even if rough, it shines as an open world game.

Wrong version got sent to steam, sucks but thats life, sometimes ridicolous things happen that should never ever happen.

I feel kinda bad for em to be honest.

i played it last night. i thought it was fun. i was playing it with a friend coop. if you plan on playing this game, definitely play it with a friend or 3 it makes the experience much more fun. also, yes the game has bugs that need to be worked out but i still had a good time playing it. there was an instant where we couldnt coop for about 30 minutes but it eventually came back and coop was enabled. cant wait til they patch it up, but even so im still having fun with it. if you like games like fallout and dead rising, i think you might just like this game.

also, i did read that they sent the wrong game file to steam and i hope they patch it up where basically we have the original with patches cuz thats pretty bad. whoever sent the wrong file probably deserves to get fired.

It's actually a pretty good game(which surprised me because I wasn't expecting much). It reminds a lot of Borderlands, which I loved, with zambies and a ton of melee combat. The biggest problems are it's completely broken(will be fixed soon) and I didn't figured out a way to use analog combat with mouse/keyboard in my short time with the game.

I've never played a game where it's more satisfying to kill zombies.

After having played Dead Island for a few hours, I have to say that I'm pretty dissappointed.

The game just isn't as fun or satisfying as similar Zombie genre games such as LFD.

Despite their Dev Build fiasco and crazy bugs and issues, it's a great game. It's FUN and totally worth it once they get around to patching it up. Just hang tight.Elann2008

I truly do love it, it's just tough to recommend to others at this point in it's release. I'm confident the situation will be righted though.

The combat is intense, satisfying, and most importantly, fun. The world is unpredictable and always interesting, packed with plenty of reason to just go out exploring even if you aren't trying to complete one of the MANY sidequests or story missions. Immersion is great too, though it does get docked some points for not letting me turn off that giant crosshair. :Praven_squad

Does it get too repetitive ?

Looks like the kind of game I'll be waiting for a steam sale for. 75% off sounds about right.

How does a developer who can't even upload the right files get funding? Heads would have rolled for that I think :( biggest_loser

Deep Silver and Atari are some of the worst publishers that are still in the business. Shame there's nobody to take over Germany and certain other regions from EU that Deep Silver usually publishes.

Iv been playing for a few hours now and it seems like a pretty good game but is ruined somewhat by the overly cheesyness of it all. Imagine playing Left4Dead in an open world envinroment and a story mode with the sense of survival and then mix that with the stupidness of a game like Dead Rising, youve got something that could have been great if it hadnt been made into a joke.
