Dead Island
fohfoh:
Looked very good at first, and then it began going downhill a little bit after watching the game play video.
Realism? Wtf with the electric machete?
Voice acting, sort of odd.
Somehow it gives me "Hellgate London" vibes.
I'd buy this game and toy around with it. But Idk if it'd be an instant favourite.
TMRNetShark:
The voice acting is terrible... and guess what. I love it. Why you ask? It's a freakin zombie game... just have a bunch of witty one liners and allow me to kill zombies in every single way possible and I'm good. I love to hate zombies. Some of you may know that I play zombie games religiously (coughbelowcough). So yeah, making an open world, open questing, RPG style zombie game is like mixing Fallout, L4D, and a hint of Demon Souls (melee focus combat)... and you have Dead Island. Will I be buying it? Yes.
Will I hope to play co-op on PS3 with other people on this forum? I hope so!
fohfoh:
TMR, I totally agree. The zombie aspect is getting me sold on the game so far. But as for the game being the type I'd chat and love to discuss with others, I seriously doubt it.
Voice acting... would have been nicer if it wasn't so monotonous sounding. That's probably the main beef I have.
Sounds like a great game with inebriation.

Exactly, being drunk killing zombies sounds like a great idea (I'm sure people have done it before). I mean, I'm not judging this game on it's voice acting merits (even though most of the voice actors are probably polish, haha)... I think it will be more like the terrible dubbing of asian films that had come to the US in the 80's. Was the voice acting great? Hell no... but was it funny/memorable? You bet your ass on it.
This won't be the be all end all game of the year... but it's a nice addition for those who love the zombie niche. If it does turn out to be game of the year (which can happen, the game has a lot of buzz)... then I say GREAT! More people to play with in Co-Op. It's less than a month away from release and the game has already gone gold. Let's hope for favorable reviews
PS: Skyrim will be the likely winner of GoTY
EDIT PPS: I hope there is an achievement in the game where you have to kill every single zombie in the game. Seeing as how it's an island, I'm thinking 100,000-500,000 people. Yes, I killed all 3 million zombies in Dead Rising in 3 days. It's cause I'm a boss. (actually, I was hovering around the 100K mark :P)

Portal 2 has a better chance at that. Skyrim will release in November and none of the elder scroll's games have been as highly rated as Portal 2. Though you never know, Skyrim might surprise me and be good without mods (oblivion wasn't, in my view).
