Board 8 > Is Dead Island worth it on console?

(+) Yeah! (+)

My PC can't run it so if I don't lose out on anything by playing on console it'd be grand.

PS3 btw, roommate killed my 360.

sounds like it's more stable on consoles and was designed with a gamepad in mind, so there's no benefit of keyboard + mouse. I think that limits your combat options, too. there's a specific analog control mechanism for melee attacks that I'm not sure is compatible with a mouse.

is it worth it? i dunno, having not played it. the analog combat looks great, but the story doesn't deliver the emotional intensity the first trailer promised, and the game seems to be little more than fetch quests. maybe if you're gonna play co-op it might be fun.

Game messed up my preorder, so I don't have it, but I will soon.

But I have it on 360, so...
