@t_tocs @kalgert123 Nice of you to recommend me a different site, but I will let youtube and my gut feeling give me an opinion of it, besides: I liked the setting of Dead Island, just hated the sudden muddy city...If it weren't sewers I would've played it to the end
@cuddlyfuzzle Just wait for a review from Angry Joe, at least he doesn't get bribed by some company to give a review, whether it be a bad one or a good one
Now now, don't be so harsh on the game, sure it's predecessor Dead Island was pretty....Not-so-good (I remember stopping in chapter 2 because a run-down city just sucks buttox), but I don't think Riptide should suffer because of that
It seems to be a little bit better from the 1st one, but everyone has their opinion, as long as there is no poop-ridden city that got nuked by a poop-bomb, I am completely happy
Also, just ignore the whole "Survival" idea of it, it's an RPG game, a person can clearly see that by playing it, I am getting it anyway to see if it really is that horrible or something
Also if you will need me: I will be waiting for an Angry Joe review, as always, because he is actually honest about it, than some "Professional reviewer", so do not look for me, I shall be awaiting a review from a gamer-professional
Oh and I would also like to add that Gamespot finds the most silliest things to complain about, as far as the combat goes: It seems solid, storyline, how are we to know what it's like since you didn't add much about it? And about the destructible terrain...Well what would you like? The lightweight heroes jumping out of range constantly? Well in either case: Gamespot is really silly about reviews
Hmm...I think I will rely on angry Joe to give me a review on this, I prefer his reviews over the "Professional reviewers/critiques" since he is himself an everyday gamer...Only happens to have a studio near the front door of his house.
@klavec Or just go free to play, people will buy stuff anyway if they like it, at least then people will be either happy playing the game and pay for it and people will be disappointed but not angry because they wasted 50/60/70 dollars on a game they didn't like (Honestly, 70$? What the hell is wrong with you?)
Hmm...Free to play...I kind of like the sound of that, now I also see people saying "Ugh, this should be Buy to play..." And I have to disagree a bit there.
Think about it: You have a game that is free to play, people are bound to look at it and decide to give it a try, if they like it, they will most likely put some money in to it to support the company, if they don't, then they will probably not play and not pay, The only thing you lose is a few players and like...What? A few dollars or so? Also I will say that Buy to play is a bit of a horrible marketing route, because if someone buys a game, doesn't like it, then the person won't be all that happy since he most likely got burned (Take a look at Defiance's first few days/weeks) or feels like he got burned, and no don't tell me "GUILD WARS 2!" Because I think that game is....Really dull, I mean if it was more interactive than WoW, then why must I spam buttons to attack? Why can't I press my mouse button to attack and not have to go with pressing 1 all the time
So I do hope this does go down the Free to play route and not the Buy to play route, because let's be honest: We don't know how it will be, and I don't think people are looking to buying a game that isn't gonna be so spectacular...And no I am not a person that follows the hype like a robot
Edit: For people who say "Oh I would rather pay a Sub", well you can pay as you go, that could be your subscription than having the game drain your credit card every month
Yeah...Pay as you go....Sounds a lot better than having a credit card being sucked up by a game
