Dead Island

I had the game reserved and I got it yesterday when it was first released. I've been playing it ever since I've gotten it, and I think it's a pretty great game. Has anyone else played it yet?

I didn't get it but i heard it is glitchy and co op doesn't work.

When I saw that one teaser trailer I got super excited, then I started seeing some gameplay footage and photos and lost interest, then I saw a video after it was released and some of that interest came back.

So, I don't know what to think. I love the idea of an open world zombie game, and the combat looks very intriguing, but nothing else about the game looks special. The plot, characters, art direction...we've all seen it before dozens of times.

I'll borrow it from a friend if I can, then I'll be able to properly judge.

I think I'll pick it up new as I want to support techland, no one really knew what the game was before it was released though. I thought it would be a bit like L4D. No idea it was basically like Borderlands. Still seems it is selling really well.

Yea they didn't really advertise the open world part. Even though the open world/rpg side is really the whole game.
