I really enjoyed Riptide (way more than I thought I would) but I have no real desire to play another Dead Island. It is the weird case of liking a game but having no desire to play it again (I did 2 playthroughs of Riptide for the plat)

I played the first one for like an hour but was not taken with it but I am happy for the fans who have been waiting for this.

In some ways, I kinda want to go back to 2016 lol

[mad-man-matty-22]

maybe it might finally release sometime in the 2020s, just like dying light 2

Pff, this game will never release, I don't know why are you still waiting for this. Let's focus on the good, Shenmue III and Cyberpunk next year!

Jokes asides, they took so long with the release of the game that so many have completely forgotten about it, myself included.

Counterpoint: seeing a thread with "Delayed to 2016" in the title in the Recent Forum Posts column in 2023 is sorta funny.

Just looked at Dead Island 2 on youtube.

So as someone who has a bit of a guilty pleasure loving the original Dead Island and getting all 6 platinums. I did get Dying Light quite a long time after release and in every possible way it improved over Dead Island....

 

BUT

 

There's just something about Dead Island which I prefer. Not played Dying Light 2 but, tje jumping on Dead Island was janky, VERY janky, it was better on Dying Light, but that Parkour stuff kinda put me off a fair bit.

 

Plus the locations, everything feels very brown, and samey somehow. I loved the really bright and nonsensical locations in Dead Island, and not being able to choose your own character, and who doesn't like Sam B? I know he's not in the Dead Island 2 (presumably), there's just something great about the nonsense and style of Dead Island.

 

I am really happy to finally see it, and yeah like a lot of people, it's become a bit like Duke Nukem Forever, seemingly never coming out, and then suddenly out of nowhere. It's here!

 

Final Fantasy 1-6 has only just come out which I am trying to avoid buying and now there's Dead Island 2... and not long around the corner, other big games like Diablo4... My poor wallet... and lack of free time lol
