I'm pretty sure even with the mixed reviews that Dead Island 2 is either in the making right now or on the drawing board. I know it is stupid to wish for this, but if I had one thing they could fix in this game out of everything (including the plot) I would say to make it more like Beth's game. Let the player explore everywhere. If they can see it then they can go there.
Get rid of the acts and just let me wander around killing monsters, enjoying the scenery, solving sidequests and being paranoid that a zombie will run up from behind me while I'm fighting a guy in front of me.
That's not going to happen, but I'll still buy DI2 in a heartbeat just for the simple fact that this "ok" game is the longest game I've played since Frayed Knights and I don't play games I get bored with. I travel onto the next one. That right there tells me they at least did something right with the battles and environment.
Oh BTW, thanks for the heads up on the jump kick. I never used it once. Kick was good enough to take out the 1 or 2 zombies that always group together.
I now have a skill where if I click both mouse buttons at the same time it will take down any zombie it hits. It's sorta a push, but with your weapon. Love that skill, but you have to time it right with "the infected" and a few others.
