@mjswooosh @hireath what technical/creative problems? i'm aware of the botch up during DI US release where they got the debug version instead of release version... this was rectified before the europe release.
other than that, there was a serious issue where if you had too many items in stash (?) then you couldn't load your save. however, higher profile games have had far worse totally RANDOM gamebreaking bugs.
the one thing that stood out for me as being the biggest disappointment was lack of random zombies. i felt it took away a lot of the replayability/tension when the zombies would always respawn in exactly the same place.
p.s. i loved the combat - the up-close-and-personal bashing ragdoll zombies and watching them cartwheel over a bar or railing (or slicing off limbs) is infinitely more fun than dumb shooter games where you click left mouse and watch numerous enemies fall asleep.
i thought the dead island single player was fantastic. so about riptide, let's be realistic here - "do you want more of the same in 2 years?" or "do you want an improved game in 4 years?"
in this case i would much prefer the 2 year option. i don't want a 6 hour expansion DLC nor having to wait 4 years for them to fix the 'issues' (which are what? funny accent and a slow menu cursor?). many of the proclaimed 'faults' in the game i found amusing quirks which didn't detract from the game in the slightest.
how nitpicky must you be to say "zomg sucky game - i can't immerse myself without a perfect australian accent". oh give me a break...
well... hitman absolution probably is a 7.5, but it's more fun than most 9.0 games.
okay if you play it like 'intended' then AI is bad, the levels are short and linear and kinda boring. but if you treat it like a sandbox and just go on a killing spree, the AI is endless fun at creating GOD versus dumb thug set pieces.
it has to be potentially one of the most morally 'wrong' games ever made. you can walk around with a knife cutting throats of civilians and throwing knife into their head - and it's actually fun :/
