I'm tempted to buy Dead Island (Steam PC version) and was wondering if anyone has played it yet. If it's awful I can save myself some money.

Hey Comp, I have seen a bunch of different reviews and it seems to swing both ways and not enough to drive me in one direction or another. I have been playing Two Worlds II on the PS3 and it is pretty good. I think there may be a PC version of that thing. Was going to check last night, but got sidetracked.

I went into Steam and checked out Two Worlds II, nice looking game but I never got into RPGs, I prefer the action games myself. Dead Island is listed in Steam as an Action/RPG game, which is part of my hesitation, I'm not sure what that means. If I remember correctly Rage was listed the same way and I really enjoyed it.

The Tomb Raider stuff is a hybrid Action / Platform / RPG / Third Person Shooter. I don't know, TW II seems to have a lot of action as I keep getting my butt kicked and I'm in Chapter 1.

Did not buy it but I heard it was really fun from one of my steam friends, probably worth it if your looking for a decent zombie game. He says the multiplayer is solid, but no survival mode. L4D2 has also been on sale a ton. I bought about 7 games on steam for 25$ so far! Downloading Borderlands as we speak

Steam is really great so far for me! Absolutely love it.

Okay coastie, I pulled the trigger and bought/downloaded TWII from Steam, figured I could take a chance with 20 bucks. I just started and so far it looks pretty good but I may be coming to you for pointers.

Second that

Pointers ?!?!?!, I have been getting my butt kicked all over the place. One thing, watch out for those Gromms. The further out you get, the worse they are. I finally wiped them all out on that island and just finally got to another much larger island. I think this game may be better suited for the PC & mouse than the console & controller.

Since I couldn't decide between Dead Island and Two Worlds II I gave myself a Christmas treat and got BOTH. I'm alternating between the two, and MAYBE someday I'll finish the Batman game.

Little variety never hurts. I do that as well. I should get back to Dungeon Siege III. Got stuck and may have to reload an earlier save and go a different direction for the time being then come back to the cave I got stuff in ( I am a little under leveled perhaps ).

A game has to be really compelling for me to stick with it exclusively, start to finish. Unfortunately it's hard to find games that are that good.

I do fine as long as i don't get my butt kicked. I start getting my butt kicked and the going is slow, I'll move to something else.

Dead Island is fun at the beginning but it becomes boring after some time.

I had the same problem and lost interest after a while, never did finish the game.

I never played Two Worlds II. What do you think about the game?

It is a great game and I have been enjoying it. Great looking graphics too. I started it on the PS 3 then went and got the PC version ( which I like much better ) that had a second game on there as well .

OK, thank you. I'll probably buy it then.

so do you recommend playing the game on PC rather than on the PS3?
