Mods

I had a little play around today, I picked up the developer mods and played on my Logan toon and with these mods plus Logan's AoE he's Over Powered! Extremely over powered, especially the mindblowing mod you gather up all the zombies you can aim at the most central zombie and throw! Ka-Boom! All there heads explode, it's unreal. He has to be the best character in my books now, Xian Mei does amazing damage but when you can clear a room in one throw...

2nd Playthrough

So I started my 2nd playthrough today on Dead Island and first I clicked on Purna and thought I'll try again with her, but I wanted something new. So I decided to try out Logan and got about 20 mins and thought Nah! This is highly boring and switched to Xian Mei and she is awesome! Slice and Dice! I've heard her Rage ability is really bad, but I really like it. It get's you out of situations that she just can't handle on her own. If she get's out numbered you are pretty screwed especially with Infected flying around so why not just pop her rage and slice 'em all down.

Sweet as!

I stumbled across this during random google search it certainly adds help to those who can't quite stick to a character and want to keep your inventory. It might just give me what I need to set up a Logan character and not lose all of my stuff, but it would be nice for a fresh restart.

Any ways all will become clear just check this link out.

Fantastic! Keep up the good work "Steffen" I believe this is his name.

Dead Island 1st Playthrough

Well, it's done. The hours and hours of game play and it's done. The story is ok not the most thrilling of stories but at least in my opinion the game play was solid (you'll have to excuse the few glitches along the way).

I started the game as Purna with all the hope and expectation of being a Firearms master class and picking of Zed's from afar but sadly this was not the case, well at least not for the first few hours (spoiler alert no actual gun play till at least Act 2 and even then it's stretch). Even though my dreams were shattered I had a huge amount of fun of slicing and dicing Zombies left right and centre with Kitchen Knives to Machete's and watching there limbs dangle from their bodies. Then I managed to obtain a Co-Op partner half way through the story great guy we had some laughs, was great! He was playing as Sam B and I thought to myself his character is kicking the sh*t out of all these Zombies and I felt my character was absolutely useless it did next to no damage in comparison, I toyed with myself all day trying to figure out what was going wrong and whether to start a new character and try achieve the same ass kicking. So I messed around a little trying to find out was wrong a lot of it came down to weapon choice and upgrades and mods, although I had all the same things as he did I decided not to use them as I thought something that is just over powered is going to be around the corner. This was not true I, upgraded my weapons I modded some and boy did it make a difference. As the game progressed more and more weapons were coming through and Purna came into her own a bad-ass chick who's Rage is of the chain and the DPS output from her guns is amazing! I completed the game only a few moments ago and am thinking should I try something different or just use Purna again?

So in a summary of my experience through this game it was fantastic! Great fun and happy to continue on to max level. Purna is a great character a bit sucky through the first few hours compared to some of the other characters but as soon as you reach level 20 or so (which goes by nice and fast) you will be a queen of guns and roll through the zombies.
It's good to point out that always aim for headshots, always!
Always upgrade your weapons where possible.
Use mods! Choose them wisely, I went with a gun set up and had 3 different element types for each firearm.
Also use Molotov's, Deo-Bombs and Grenades all the time they are just soo good and very satisfying for kills.

I'll be back with another post as soon as I decide what I am going to do next.
Peace!

First Entry

This is my first entry on my Blog, I came to the conclusion to start writing a blog to get my opinions on games across to other people. I don't know how I am going to get people to read this blog all I know is that I want people to read my views and who knows someone might like them.

The idea of this blog is not only to get my opinions of games across but also my expierience of playing the games and how I try and tackle challenges in games and how I go about solving them and maybe it will help other people in tackling situations.

So that's my first blog entry and I will write another one as I am currently playing Dead Island and loving it but there are some very interesting points to note about the game.
