Actually I just wanted a thread to put this:

How is Dead Island? Someone other than D played it? (I've read D's review on the Steam community page).

How is Dead Island? Someone other than D played it? (I've read D's review on the Steam community page).
I like it. Though it can get monotonous at times (repetitive fetch quests). Also it has one thing that annoys me when implemented in any game: rapidly deteriorating melee weapons. You may as well be using cardboard or rolled-up newspapers.

Seriously, the thing that balances the extremely short range of a melee weapon (compared to a gun/rifle) is the fact that unless you;re throwing it ammo is not a problem. Limiting melee weapons to a set number of hits before you have to repair it is essentially giving it an ammo limit. I don't mind making melee weapons deteriorate with wear and tear but it needs to last a lot longer than in Dead Island. We're talking like 3-4 hits and that knife is useless. Even throwing it does jack squat.

Anyway, hose are about the only obstacles I had with the game. I thought it was fun. It is an action game though. Aside from zombies it has nothing to do with that compelling reverse trailer we saw last year!

See, I never saw the deterioration as a problem in this game. Like many OTHER loot-driven games, you'll ALWAYS find a weapon. I think this fits the game's survival theme here. There's weapon benches all over the place, so you can tinker w/ them - many weapons are upgradable; and you can repair anything. You're not really meant to keep these weapons, anyways. I always seemed to be finding new weapons, repairing weapons, selling weapons back to a shop & upgrading new weapons. It definitely has that ARPG loot-driven addiction like Hellgate: London, Two Worlds II, and Diablo series down to a scienece. Despite the game showering you w/ weapons, the breaking of weapons makes it an even more tense of a survival game, if you ask me. At that wrong moment, you better hope to God you have some unbroken weapons w/ you....or can find out off someone whose dead (which is likely).

I just wish the story-telling on some of the quests (especially the side quests) and variety of quests were better - geez, sounds a lot like my Amalur complaint. Some of the main quest stuff was really good in Dead Island. There's a few moments I can think of - I'll leave the spoilers out. Techland can tell a story, when they want to - see some of DI's main quest; DI's Ryder White DLC especially; and some other their other games (i.e. Call of Juarez 1 & 2). Not much of a complaint, honestly. The game was a blast and addictive as can be, for the numerous hours I spent w/ it (over 35 hours, or so). Even despite my complaints, I think it's the best zombie game around. I think it just needs a few more ingredients to hit that level of greatness that I'd really like it to hit and think it has the potential to hit (i.e. I think it has the potential one of the best games ever made). More moments like the original DI trailer emphasized would've been great - to really give the game more weight, story-wise and character-wise. There's a few of those - but not enough in DI to make it the game I want it to become.

The problem I have with rapidly deteriorating weapons is that I end up carrying so many of them to compensate for how quickly they outlive their usefulness.

In Dead Island I'm often carrying at least 8 stabbing weapons, 4 clubs (or bludgeoning weapons), 2 guns, and some molotovs. It gets ridiculous. Unless they're throwing knives I really shouldn't have to lug around so many individual weapons and in a skirt mind you! Yeah, I'm playing as the flight attendant chick. I figured if a weapon deteriorates I could just throw it at enemies, but if it deteriorates it also becomes completely useless to throw as well!

Weapon deterioration forces me to carry around extras in case shit hits the fan and my equipped weapon becomes completely useless. I'd understand if a weapon loses some effectiveness e.g. a blunt knife does less damage than a sharpened one but not ZERO DAMAGE!! I could do more damage with a damn spoon!

In Fallout 3 I had the same issue but with even more limited inventory space and weight restriction.

By contrast, in Skyrim I only need to carry one set of each weapon type I use; in my case that's a bow (with assorted arrow sets) and 2 daggers (dual wielding). I'm not lugging around 8 daggers, 4 bows, and various other weapons I find like I did in Oblivion and Morrowind.

Anyway, as I said I don't mind weapon deterioration as long as it's modest and done properly.

Awesome, I am glad I held out for Fortune Summoners going down. Its regular price is $19.99 and then it went down to $9.99 for the sale and now its down to $4.99 for the daily sale.  I will grabbing that later tonight for sure.  Anyone else curious about Recettear should really grab it at that $5 price, its a great game.
