All there is to do now is wait until the game is released and find out for ourselves!

I never argued against this point. But reasoning is also subjective in this sense. I am a bit hesitant based on the voice acting so far, but if more is released in terms of gameplay, I guess I could bite the bullet and focus on that instead of the characters that seem uninterested in their own goals.

Dude, don't bite the bullet. If you don't enjoy the game or your uneasy about it... wait til all the reviews are out for it then be the judge yourself. Even I don't want you being in pain because I know it's hard to part with $60 (or your equivalent new game release price point).

It's not the money that's the issue, it's time. To waste my time on a game is annoying because I don't have that much time to play in the first place. Waiting for reviews might be the way to go I guess. My games collection for my PS3 isn't that expansive. Yakuza 3 &4, Heavy rain, Demons Souls, GT5 and Katamari will go in too as long as they stop trying to charge 50 bucks for it, but I might concede and just pick it up.

I've paid for a few crappy games as well on PSN. fat princess is probably one of the few that was actually worth the cost because I enjoyed the game. But again, it's not the money that's the issue, it's the enjoyment I derived from the game.
This is your home now. So take advantage of everything here, except me.

How about this, I'll make you a deal fohfoh. I will personally write my impressions of the game come September 6th. Sadly, you'll probably have to hear about it on the 7th or 8th because I will be working late on that Tuesday and the next day is a special day for me (gonna go get drunk... gonna go get krunk... gonna go get...). If you trust my opinion on video games, then I will recommend whether the game is worth your time.

This game wasn't good.

Bugged to hell.  Rushed / Rocky launch.  If you're playing PC, just forget about it. Unless they've fixed the forced voice chat (no option to turn it off and only allowing it through speakers :()


There isn't even that much of an "Oh shit! ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE!"  There's never more than say 6-8 zombies on the screen and that's counting the ones in the background that don't notice you.


Pretty much, the game is Borderlands with zombies in it.  (But nowhere near as fun)

curious if the bugs ruin the multiplayer or if that is just some of the icing on the already burned dry and way to thick to be cakey cake

I played through it with 2 friends of mine and had a great deal of fun.  The bugs basically amounted to one person having to restart their game every couple of hours, not much beyond that.

But yeah, you don't usually get swarmed with zombies except in the city near the biohazard area.
