That really sucks to hear, as I loved co-oping the first one with some friends. Is this a straight no or a 'wait until a few patches and grab it on sale otherwise don't really bother'? Because more zombie slaughter sounds good to me, but if it's buggier than an Obsidian game tested by Bethesda with no real improvements I might sadly give this a pass.Susan Arendt said:What makes me so frustrated is I really, really loved the first one.

Definitely wait. Even if they don't patch it, so long as you nab it on a good sale, you'll be happy. Playing with friends can still be a LOT of fun, but overall the game isn't nearly as good an experience as the first one.Fayathon said:That really sucks to hear, as I loved co-oping the first one with some friends.

Good to hear it isn't terribad, my zombie hunting buddies will be a mite disappointed, but we've got other games to tide us fortunately, jolly co-operation can wait in terms of the undead. (At least zombie undead anyways.)Susan Arendt said:Definitely wait. Even if they don't patch it, so long as you nab it on a good sale, you'll be happy.

Actually, that was just a factor of me wanting as much time as possible with the game to make sure that it had the issues I thought it had. If you play a game on a certain day and have a bad time, that might not be the game's fault, per se. But I played all weekend long and just got angrier and angrier as I went.rhizhim said:that it only got a written review instead of a video review plus written review like the first one speaks volumes...
i am sure the game is just a mod that was turned to a standalone game only to reek in some money. or at least it feels like it.
Depends on their durability and whether or not you've chosen the perks that extend their lifespan. I never really had a problem, but then I'm also hyper aware of fixing them whenever I get near a workbench.Assassin Xaero said:Do the weapons still degrade completely after about half a dozen hits like they did in the first?
