I level-maxed several characters in Dead Island and never had that happen. I read that it happened early on but it apparently got fixed (along with nearly all the other bugs that were present early on). Riptide is supposed to be much less buggy then Dead Island was initially. I wouldn't worry about it, that's some pretty old news.
I completely agree. I'm not "old" (nor will I ever admit being old when it does occur) but my first magical gaming experiences were games like Full Throttle, that Tentacle game.... oh! Secret of Monkey Island... even games like Under a Killing Moon. Oh! Sam and Max Hit the Road! I'm literally writing a stream of consciousness and all of these wonderful memories are bubbling up. Perhaps it's whatever you played as a child that you hold in such high regard.... maybe that's why the "point and click" games have somewhat fallen by the wayside. I love a good book, and one thing that is REQUIRED in a point and click is good writing... since the writing is the star of the show rather than blockbuster-movie-esque explosions and car chases (see Resident Evil 6... which I DID like, but it's apples and oranges). You definitely aren't the only one out there that is nostalgic over these games.... although I DO think people nowadays that never played them WOULD appreciate them if the same humor and wit that is in, lets say, the old Sam and Max games, shines through. I hope this is the case because forums like PSN and Xbox Live Arcade are PERFECT venues for such low-cost (in modern relative terms) games.
