Dead Island: Riptide Gets All Defensive

oh god its one huge Escort mission, at least they fight but its like L4D a bit.

Yeah this confused me too because on-disc DLC is justified because devs have nothing better to do for a couple months while the game is certified. So if we are in pre-alpha are they going to try and knock out QA in a month?

Maybe it is just that feature, which is in pre-alpha? Having iron out bugs in a feature within a month doesn't seem to unrealisitic. And that video doesn't have to be made with a recent build or be recorded recently.
Besides, most of the games content seems to be recycled from the previous game, cutting down the development time anyway.

I don't mind escort or protection missions just as long as the guns do more damage unlike the ones from the previous game that felt like tiny pathetic pea shooters.

Still going to get this game because I just love the undead masses.

what they should do is remake how xp is granted in co-op games, if you played with other people the one having the lobby would get ahead because he was the only one getting xp for quests, or then it was xp only for the guy who turned in the quest. Either way it was uneven.
Unless they make it so that people in co-op share all xp i wont be buying.
