You could probably buy it right now for less off of GMG with a sale coupon, so no it's not worth paying $50 regardless if you want it now or when it goes on sale.
It also depends if you really like the style of game it is. I just purchased it last week because there's nothing that really impresses me coming out soon. Sorry BF3 and MW3 fans, but I've had my share of modern mp shooters here lately, and I'm ready to enjoy a little something different. I personally think it worth it and it's even better if you have a friend to play with. Lots of things to do, and it can be challenging depending how you play it.
Yes, its definitely worth 50 dollars, I spent over 50 hours on the game over three playthroughs, most of the launch issues were fixed, and its a very enjoyable game. That being said it would be best to wait for a sale since its nearing the Holiday season.
This game turned out better than expected. I'm using 1.2.1 patch with Dead Island Config Tool and have some bugs but they are few and 'workaround-able'.
Its worth my $40 I paid I feel, especially if you consider the length. I'm certain I'll get over 40 hours in as I'm not even to the jungle yet.

If you're not there yet and you're doing every sidequest you find, you'll get at least 50 hours at this pace.

Playing in co-op doesn't help stretch the game out because you'll be blowing through the levels in less than half the time. You'll get players that can one-shot a boss fight haha. And most of the times, they're rushing through the sidequests and skipping cutscenes although now, they patched it in where all players in the party need to all vote to skip the cutscene. Anyways, I clocked in about 28 hours, but like I said, I rushed through the second half of the game regrettably.
...and the co-op, (WHICH U NEED TO PROGRESS ANYWHERE) is BORKED.GimmeDemMoMoooz
Wrong and wrong.
For one you don't need co-op to beat this game at all. For two, co-op has worked perfectly except for the very first week of the games release. It works fine, I don't know what your problem would be...

Same opinion here. I finished the game solo, and whenever my friend wanted to join my game, there was no problem.
yes it worth it, I've finished it with a friend co-op and we had a blast of time playing it; only buy it if you have about 1-3 friend to play with, you can always log into other gamer's games but it won't be the same laughs
I'd say yes if it even lightly interests you. Sure you could wait for a sale. You could wait for every game to fall to 5-10 bucks but what will you do in the meantime. It's a fun game, but somewhat repetitive. If you play with other people, it's fun all the way through.
Game is great. I spent most of my spare time playing it until I finished. Took me about 23hrs. Its even more fun with friends but its entirely possible to finish it solo.
It's worth 50$ and even 60$ like some of the "AAA" titles are being sold for lately. It's simply the most unique FPS game I've played in a long time, putting alot of emphasis on melee combat and looting. It's also very realistic in its approach to interaction with enemies, you get knocked off and kicked to the ground, if you jump off a roof you crack your bones and die. Hitting enemies' limbs with sharp weapons can cut them off, blunt weapons cripple limbs, and there's nothing more satisfying than the sound of a baseball bat landing on somebody's skull.
Where is it exactly for $23? Also, it'll be on sale during Halloween on Steam. Most likely for 33% off, but you might get lucky and find it at 50%. Definite possibility it'll get that cheap during the black friday or winter sale.

This. If I could find a good deal for $40, 30, 20, or even 15, I'll grab it up if it's a game a REALLY want. Because by the time I wait for it to drop to $5-10, I would have probably lost interest already or the idea of playing the game doesn't excite me as much. For $23, there's no reason not to get it if you're into zombie games and a very good one at that. And this is probably the first good open-world zombie game. It's not perfect, but it's fun. Best played in co-op.
