Well i am pretty annoyed withe this game now.

I got to act II and did some missions in the city part of the game.
Levelled up i think to 20.

Logged on last night and most of the quests had reset, my rank had gone down and the main story has gone backwards to the fucking resort area.

Really fucking annoyed so i am trading this shit in, the trophies ain't unlocked either, things like kill zombies with 10 different melee weapons, kill a ram with tactical skill and simple others like drive so many kilometers, walk so many kilometers, i've done all this naturally and the trophys haven't unlocked.

I'm not bothered by them but i did earn them after all...

SO FUCK YOU! i am selling this today!
glitchy piece of shit, not going through all that ballache story again.

This game has made me now confirm my hate for zombie games, grrr!!!! :ymsick:

LOL sounds like you want to be playing Space Marine... stamping on zombie heads? Pffft....ork heads with a powered armour boot is where it's at.

Trade it for Space Marine Sy - you know it makes sense ;)

They have fixed the match-making issue now, so it's just a case of waiting for the patch to go through all the beauracracy to get to us. And there are private matches in the mean time (although a bit of ork stomping/chain-swording/thunder-hammer-golf-swinging/bolter wastage offline can while away an hour or two).

To sum SM up - it's basically Transformers: War for Cybertron, minus vehicles, plus gore, and swapping very samey indoor levels for nicely varied outdoor levels with sweet architecture. And not one of the MP maps is crap. The balancing is pretty good too.

I prefer SM over TF, but I prefer the subject matter. And the graphics are better. And the weapons feel meatier.

might do that, i can't get to town though till they clear the 4 trees, so perhaps i'll go tomorrow now, because i'd have to take a very long route around stafford to get into the town, and people will be doing the same - chaos.

Dead island trades for 29 at my local independant.
So i loose £6 and space marines in £32.

Gave this another shot last night, got to chapter 5, which was quite far into the city area, some tough zombies like sucidal exploding ones, rams (which are like zombies in straight jackets) pretty tough..

Then quit for half an hour after doing some more of the main story, reload about 1am.. story back to chapter 2 on the resort, so this sums up this game, fucking broke.

Also in the church area, theres a door u exit after speaking to one of the npcs - even though the door is wide open i couldn't get out - an invisible wall blocked me, so i couldn't get out - i had to let the zombie kill me so it reloaded/re-rendered the door that was supposed to open lolz!

Not at all impressed, i might write a review on my time playing the game, but i think it would just be me moaning about it because i can hardly think of any good parts, my exprience with this game has been teribad.

Hope you're enjoying Space Marine more then :)
They were some good games last night...

The campaign has the odd issue, but sounds no where near as bad as Dead Island...
