DEAD ISLAND REVIEW with Destructoid's Tara Long

[MrPeyzilla12]

2 lockpicking box's?! I FOUND LIKE 30 THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE GAME

[homebrewman23]

I dont see how a crowbar or a lead pipe can wear out, I hate rummaging through suitcases for $2, it was frustrating to not be able to pick up more weapons. For example I would drop all my duct tape, batterys and junk and still not be able to pick up a damn gun sitting right there. I cant find a compelling reason to finish this game sadly. Great concept though!

[MrPeyzilla12]

@homebrewman23 but if u lvl up ur survival skill to find more cash u can find 100 dollars or even better 1,000 dollars

[homebrewman23]

@MrPeyzilla12 Thats true. I stopped playing this game since rummaging through hundreds and hundreds of suitcases tends to give me a headache. For me, the balancing on this game is not enjoyable. I am a resident evil fanatic however, ive played through every game, except code v.... Dead Island for me doesnt work sadly. :(

[homebrewman23]

Soon as she said out, I knew this is filmed in Canada Lol!

[ihatesasquatch]

Robot Science!

[chunkymilk]

This is a poor man's Skyrim.

[glennjridge]

I would like the notion that the zombies dont spawn to give you cheap excitement but are just randomely walking around. I also dont like the notion there are safe havens like in some buildings.

I would like it truly to be a random game and those things go where they want. also,while I dont have this game yet.....and I am told its a very large map....there seems to be a sameness to the island in every video I see.

I think should be like san andreas GTA. city.suburbs/farmland/resort/d­esert.

[musiciswhyimalive01]

locking picking i wish i had it i found 32 boxes and counting without it it pissed the fuck out of me

[MrRegretGaming]

Great now I dont know if I should get this next Friday..

[dontthinkJUSTDOIT21]

She reminds me of Donna off of that 70's show haha

[esaedvik]

@dontthinkJUSTDOIT21 You're not the only one. Love her to bits =)

[JordanHF00]

this reminds me SO much of borderlands....

[EpicnessInABox]

Here is my theory on the lock pick. I found them all over the place and then they vanished when I maxed it to level three. I think that when you can lockpick it, they don't tell you it is locked. Thus, making it look like nothing is locked when things you are opening are for others.

[lachose1]

BEST SONG! Robot Science - Shine :O

[zarkony1]

what can't you do with that duct tape?

[farmer0285]

There are a ton of boxes to lockpick if you aren't just putting blinders on and running straight from objective to objective. Also, these reviews do not reflect endgame in the least. Weapon degradation is a non-existant problem at around the 50-60% mark. 2 nice weapons are enough to complete most quests. Until then, just swap your broke ass weapon for something else on the fly, you don't need to be in your inventory so damn much people!

[jhNNNNNNNy]

i already found something like 15 boxes, and just 40% of the game is completed.

[HollowBoxFilms]

anthony=DAMN FINEEE

[EpicnessInABox]

I recognized the music in the background... then I realized it was Robot Science... then I realized I got into that band from you!

[MrSalvation666]

5:44 - When Tara said she looked forward to answering questions you looked like you were disappointed you edited them. XD

[MrGearMo]

I love you Tara.

[Bartolomeus002]

about those boxes... i found like 10 of them in 2 hour playthrough

[pahlrosp]

I found that if you have lockpicking you wont see the chests as locked. Only when you cant open it does is say "requires lockpick lvl blabla".

[EsquireRu]

I miss Bytejacker =(

[newchallenger]

@EsquireRu l totally appreciate and love comments like this. I do. I love Bytejacker to death - it was my life for three years. But I'm also putting a lot into this show - I created it, I write it, I produce it, I edit it. I'd love to see people focus on and comment about this project rather than dwell on my past efforts. Onward and upward, dudes!

[monkyyy0]

@newchallenger but this would be 4th aaa videogame show i watch, no indie game shows anymore........

[terorvlad]

Yea, 8vd definitley like my 4000 $ modifyed machete to dissapear instead of repairing it. If a useless weapon gets broken, the game throws it, but when it's worth more than 20$, it doesnt.

[925shah]

man this game was great !!

[neshcom]

Should a video game review show be sponsored by a video game? Kind of an obvious bias and credibility flaw there.

[newchallenger]

@neshcom Nah. I'm not reviewing Driver SF and I never will. All video game sites and magazines have ads for games in them, just like Rolling Stone has ads for albums and engadget has ads for laptops and cell phones. You just keep editorial and sponsored content separate. I'll never review a game that's sponsoring me.

[neshcom]

@newchallenger That's understandable, but it's less likely that you'll never review a Ubisoft game. It's one thing to be a magazine with multiple sponsors, but your sole sponsor here is a Ubisoft game. I'm not accusing you of anything, but remember that that's a thin line.

[ImmortalDestructor]

@neshcom I disagree, unless he gives a sponsor game an unearned favourable reviews then I think there is no problem with it. It's called journalistic integrity and besides gaming magazines have always been sponsored by games.

[Brionkendo]

Bring back the beard!



[RushingRiotGaming]

PC version is 100% better. No bugs...

[newchallenger]

@RushingRiotGaming Yeah, it's definitely the way to go, though I'm told a console version patch is coming. Hopefully it'll incorporate all the fixes from the PC so far.

[cruzdt]

Show is awesome. Also, thanks for showing that Energy Tank coffee mug...SOLD!

[cruzdt]

Also, I bought Driver so go tell Ubisoft you're doing your job.

[CakeTimeInc]

Is that one of the lannister game of thrones steins?

[missingsayoko]

loving the looks of the new Driver game! is it any good? does it come close to the original?

[blackxgun]

if every weapon that degrades completely was dropped automatically, it wouldn't be as nice when you lose a modded weapon made out of components you can hardly find. and the speed of degradation can be fixed with skills.

IMO the worst things about the game are the characters themselves.i found my self cringing every cut scene .

[KimmyPossible]

reminds a lot of borderlands.

[xREVSx]

@newchallenger if your not busy you need to do videos more often.

& i would like to know your bra size please! *lol*

[newchallenger]

@xREVSx I'm sticking to once a week for now, but I'm going to try to have some extra content for you guys on Mondays along the lines of the Q&A with Dylan and the one we've got tomorrow with Tara.

[xREVSx]

@newchallenger Cool. thanks for replying.

[xREVSx]

looking forward to more vids

i always watch destructiod & this is pretty damn cool aswell

revision3 rocks!

[Dmhlcmb]

My upward facing thumbs is for boobs.

[newchallenger]

@Dmhlcmb Noted.

[cymonsgames]

Can anyone tell me what the skateboard video at the end of every revision 3 show is about?

[booyaadotorg]

great to see more of the rev3 fam on the show! i have to admit to having a soft spot for miss long :P cant wait for next show!

[GigaBoost]

Weapon Degradation really takes away from the RPG aspect of the game, and it's not "realistic", christ. Knives don't break after 15 stabs.

[GigaBoost]

I miss Bytejacker... Anthony was so much better on himself, without these fake and terrible guests. Tara is... decent though, I guess. Oh well, I'll keep watching, if only for Anthony.

[dsandi100]

Tara long is AWSOME!!!

[newchallenger]

@dsandi100 Agreed.

[Foxmang]

Now i will never know what hew bra size is -.-

[newchallenger]

@Foxmang Do you want to know mine instead?

[mspeter97]

a delorean to time travel on Driver???

Seriousely??

[newchallenger]

@mspeter97 Yeah, if you get in a Delorean and get it up to 88 mph you can time travel and play the garage mission from the first Driver.

[TheLuciusLaw]

Great show Anthony! I do want to see more fighting though... like real physical brawling. My money is on Tara. She looks like one of those sleeper types... calm on the outside.. then goes ape-nuts on you.

[xREVSx]

ive been waiting for this

[newchallenger]

@xREVSx Awesome! Glad to hear it and hope you enjoyed it!

[Mr4NiceOne]

indie games is better , but this is not bad too

[rambo19991]

miss the indie games ;(

[acarboni]

@rambo19991 They didn't go away just because Bytejacker's on hiatus. :) Check out indiegames-dot-com, tigsource, and pixelprospector for all kinds of lovely indie news.

[newchallenger]

@rambo19991 Indie games are alive and well, whether I'm working on Bytejacker or not. And just because we haven't covered any indie games yet doesn't mean we're not going to. :)

[rambo19991]

@newchallenger awesome ;D

[1mashpop]

Tara yay :D good luck for tonight!

[gameing0105]
