Dead Island Riptide review". Eurogamer. 22 April 2013. Archived from the original on 2017-10-04 . Retrieved 2013-04-22. You really want to finish up the crew quests for Harlow and Hardy the moment you reach Henderson, as events subsequently take place that render them impossible to complete. I wouldn't blame EB (solely), blame the Media for hyping up bad tasteless media coverage just to make a story on the Bait Edition. I had a feeling we wouldn't be getting the statue cos Australia is still in its infancy when it comes to mature gaming memorabilia. They're a bunch of babies...the lateness of the R18+ rating just shows and proves it! Escape Dead Island, which takes place 6 months later, seems to show that Xian Mei at least survived, so it's possible the other player characters did as well.

Dead Island Riptide Zombie-Killing Bliss With Some Rough Edges". Game Informer. 2013-04-22. Archived from the original on 2013-04-25 . Retrieved 2013-04-22. I Did What I Had to Do: Harlow ends up trying to keep the survivors from escaping when it turns out there is no cure, and at the end of the game tries to kill them. Old Save Bonus: You can import your character's level from the first game if you've played it. However, they still lose all of their items and skills from it. The first one is justified in-universe, as you're apprehended on a military ship the moment the helicopter lands on it, and the ship crashes shortly afterwards. The second one is because the skill tree has been changed, so the developers did this to allow you to choose new skills.

Nunneley, Stephany (2013-01-16). "Dead Island Riptide – Dev apologizes over CE torso". VG247. Archived from the original on 2013-05-25 . Retrieved 2013-05-02. MCV's Ben Parfitt writes: "With the industry's attitude and representation of gender very much one of the hot issues of 2012, the reaction to the announcement is understandably likely to anger the more proactive parts of the games community." Jesus Christ, what kind of sociopath would actually want this 12" resin nightmare? Even putting aside the weird message a sexualized corpse torso sends, it's just ... ugly. There are few items I wouldn't decorate my office with, but this ... thing ... sure would be one of 'em." I'm a Humanitarian: Marcus Villa, who at first seems like a friendly NPC and gives you quests. However, shortly afterwards you find out he wants to eat the immune so as to gain their protection from the zombies. Naturally, this doesn't go over well with them. Interestingly enough, the actual zombies in the game don't seem interested in eating you should you die. Instead they seem more focused on beating you up.

Made even worse by the fact that the boat with the survivors in it washes up on another island, with a dead hand trying to claw its way out. The survivors have spread the disease even further Apocalyptic Log: Angela Guerra, a Peace Corps volunteer, takes over for Roger from the first game. She loses her husband to the virus in the first recording and things just get worse for her from there. The tenth and final recording, found in the military base, is a tearful goodbye to her parents. Her fate is left ambiguous, but considering what's happened to the rest of the military base, Angela's probably dead. Though if there were zombies nearby, hopefully they don't immediately jump on you again the moment you can start moving... In September last year, Jill Meagher, a 29-year-old ABC employee, went missing while walking the short walk home from a popular Melbourne street. Thanks to a somewhat viral social media campaign, the entire country began to follow the case, people everywhere wanting Jill to be found alive and well and brought home.

Hey, would you like to hide this kind of warning in the future?

Degraded Boss: The first Wrestler you fight is a named King Mook main quest boss with tons of health, and is pretty much a full boss fight. Subsequent Wrestlers, while still very tough, have less health and are much closer to the other Elite Zombie enemies in terms of how much damage they can take. Car Fu: Surprisingly more effective this time around, as you don't have to be moving as fast to kill them. However you only get to use boats/cars in the first zone in the jungle. Upon reaching Henderson, you'll pretty much have to walk everywhere due to the city not having much in the way of streets big enough for vehicles. And hitting a suicider can still kill you as well, so try not to drive over one. From someone who has seen firsthand how a monster who holds this attitude can choke the life out of someone beautiful and radiant, this bust is a nightmare come true. And what's worse is that the attitudes behind such an object reinforce this behaviour as okay.

Sexual objectification of women is everywhere, and it's impact is a massive discussion that goes way beyond video games. What I found most tiresome about the statue wasn't the objectification but that making a statue such as this suggests a number of things that Deep Silver assumes about their audience. They assume that the audience are young shallow men whose main interests are tits and violence. It's insulting to men and its a common assumption in video game marketing. Women are not even considered as part of the possible audience. It's outdated thinking. Why is the game industry still fixated on breasts?". EDGE. Archived from the original on 2013-07-05 . Retrieved August 16, 2014. I think it's on us, game developers, to prevent controversies like this one. I'm a game programmer and I would be pretty bummed if I was working on what was essentially a game equivalent of a boob mug. You're appealing to the lowest, most vulgar aspects of your audience at a time when games are widely criticized for being juvenile, senseless, and immature, only to then complain that the medium is not being taken seriously as an art form. We should strive to treat our medium with the respect it deserves. Throwing Your Sword Always Works: While it can be played literally straight with a bladed weapon, this trope also works on other stuff like hammers and clubs.Crecente, Brian (15 January 2013). "Dead Island Riptide's bloody torso statue sparks anger, confusion". Polygon. Archived from the original on 2013-05-02 . Retrieved 27 April 2013. It has been a long journey, but it’s almost time for Dead Island 2 to hit the shelves and (hopefully) begin selling like hotcakes. During the showcase, Dambuster took the opportunity to reveal the hilarious cast and content, the gory, adrenaline-fuelled combat, and the vast, open-world setting of Los Angeles. Flare Gun: One of the first ranged weapons the player receives to blow up a bridge leading to a survivor outpost. Unfortunately, its about as effective at fighting zombies as its Real Life counterpart would be. Lonely Piano Piece: If first game's trailer made you cry then Riptide's will likely have genuine depression set in.
