Gotta agree on the trailer part. Gave me goosebumps.

Are you getting it for PS3 or Xbox?

Best trailer since Gears of War..

Happy I work where I can rent it out for free for a couple days. Not sure I'll buy it right away, but I definitely wanna play it.

It's not that there's no guns, they're just rare.

Any sources? I watched something on TV where Morgan Webb was talking about it and she said there were no guns so I just kind of accepted it.

So is this game free roam?

There's definitely guns, there are http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/dead-island/achievements/ for headshots and firearm kills.

Awesome, that was the only thing bugging me about it :goodjob:
Now if only they would remove steamworks I'd be set.

You're getting Skyrim aren't you? It's Steamworks.

I'm not really here to criticize the game, but it's being developed by Techland (the developers of the Call of Juarez series) and those games are mediocre at best. I just feel that this game is getting completely overhyped because it's an open-world game where you kill zombies and do quests.

Yes I am but that doesn't mean I enjoy it.

Every developer has their bad games.

Seems like a pretty good game. The trailer truly was one of the best I've seen. Seeing as I'm kind of limited in money and plan on buying Skyrim later, I think this will be a rent. I wish more games like this and Skyrim came out, seeing as they both have hours and hours of gameplay.

Yea from what I've seen its open-world.

It seems to be getting good reviews.

Yes, open world, free roam.

This is probably the only zombie game I have looked forward to since I played resident evil. It has RPG elements to it, which I have been waiting for in a zombie game. Hopefully this one will take the zombie industry (:tongue:) and get it out of being rehashed and repetitive. I am definitely getting it!

Huh 6/10 is still pretty good.Considering the majority of reviews I have seen give in about an 8 I'll trust the others over this guy.Sounds like he bought into the first trailer a little too much.

The reviews aren't sitting well with me. I think the hype really effected it.

That's why you play the game first and then decide for yourself.

I hate reviews.

7.8 is pretty damn good.

Logan has an advantage with throwing weapons, Sam B has an advantage with blunt weapons, Xian Mei has an advantage with bladed weapons and Purna has an advantage with guns.

I was hoping/expecting at least one 9/9.5. With the amount of hype this game had, a 7.8 isn't good to me.

Hype does not equal the rating.

I think this game looks great, but I'm terrified of zombies.

I'll probably wait until the price drops just in case I end up not being able to play it because I'm a huge chicken.
