Picked this up on the $4 Amazon sale that someone mentioned. Way happy I didn't pay more.

Wow, did they ever take a great idea that was TDU1 and mess it up for TDU2.

TDU2 is not a game about cars or racing much at all. It's more about trying to be cool and image lifestyle crap.

This game is way more arcade feeling than the first game, which I hate.

While the graphics are better, the area is still mostly soulless, empty and lifeless.

Don't waste your money on this.

Even the crappiest games are worth $5 for petes sake.

As the OP I actually eventually ended up buying and playing both.

I liked them both. Velvet Assassin actually kept me more interested than Saboteur. Saboteur is just another GTA clone with climbing.

They are dirt cheap now and with some mods to help fix the consolitus crap, these are both worth a cheap price IMO.

You're a PC gamer that isn't hand-eye coordinated?Fightingfan

I can do ok usually with hitting the nearby and semi keys, when I have to peck for the zero or \ or = key, is when its rather iffy to hit right in nightime gaming with no keyboard illumination.

Sad thing is, can't find a DECENT illuminated keyboard for under $50 or so.

Unless all you do is game during the day, a backlit or illuminated keyboard is a must for PC gaming IMO. Getting one with full anti-ghosting too.

Looking to get a golf game. I like the analog swing type golf games, which one is best looking on PSP?

Bumping as well, are the developers doing anything about the translations at all?skrat_01

Yes but they seem to work very slowly. Took them 2 weeks to come out with a pretty minimal initial functionality patch.

They state there will be free DLC too eventually. At their rate, it may be a year before this DLC happens.

The console influences in this game ruined it for me also. First 2 are much better IMO.

Just a warning, word is this game is very short, like under 5 hours long.

You guys should visit the Steam Forums and learn how to tweak this game up. After I tweaked/quick fixed Dead Island, I've been very happy with the results.

1. You can tweak the video.ini file.

2. Remove the stamina hud
3. Remove flashlight hud
4. Remove pose indicator hud
5. Remove crosshair
6. Up the shader to 5
7. Up the FX Quality to 4
8. Disable Bloom
9. Disable Blur

10. Get rid of stutter, fps lag from Keyboard input lag (this still hasn't been address by the developer)

11. Increase shadowmapsize

12. Enable Vsync

13. Postprocess

14. Increase shadows and texture quality

And many more. I can tell you guys with 100% confidence that the game not only looks so much better but it plays better without the huds. I've never liked the hud styl.e of Dead Island because it breaks the immersion. And you'll be glad to know that this will not cause VAC-ban. It has already been confirmed by Techland on Twitter.

This game is a total clusterF'up, poorly done port. Most of these things should of been properly implemented or fixed in the final PC version for such a near AAA game like this. If this was $20 budget or indie game I could understand but it isn't.
