expect a nocd exe yesterday

Why isn't /v/ taking this seriously?

Haha oh fucking wow

6.0 general?

I knew this game was going to be fucking awful the moment they announced development for the game resumed, but god damn, no one could have predicted this happening.

Should've spent less time trying to advertise on /v/

You mean digital distributors right? I think consoles got the correct and final version.

But really...

>>109311620

Or spending development money on hookers and five star suites for your intereviews with the media.

OH WAIT THAT'S SILICON KNIGHTS

So is that why noclip is bound to the Y key?

If that's actually true that Noclip is bound to Y (Which I'm sure it is because of this fucking developer build fuckup), that's absolutely fucking hilarious.

That's probably the funniest fucking thing I've ever heard of in my life relating to video games.

Is this why my friend had a No-clip mode in his game?

didn't expect much from a rushed game anyway

>>109312002
Yes, yes it is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6_gTYJbX0E

Press U is no clip mode.

Also about to post a roam around the island with it.

The Death of Video Games

>>109311662

360 version as well apparently.

>>109311988

It is true. No clip is seriously bound to Y. I was watching a stream and the dude hit it by accident and suddenly he was 400 feet in the air clipping through objects. This game is so amateur.

>>109311140
>this kind of mistake is huge. This will ultimately allow so much reverse engineering and hacks/tools to be possible that shouldn't of been able to be done before.

How the hell did they manage that, did no one double check the build they sent out?

>>109311759
And people paid money for this? I thought we were in an economic shitstorm yet people are still willing to waste their money?

Fucking developers.

Lazier by the minute.

I may never buy a game on Day 1 ever again, and will never buy a game from these fucking clowns.

>>109312143
Why bother? They already got people's preorders.

>>109311980
>>109311980

>>109311980

>>109312143

They were too busy advertising on /v/

I seriously doubt it's a debug build. Sounds like wishful thinking of people with empty pockets.

I would buy their games just so they can possibly do this shit next game.

HOW DO YOU FUCK UP THIS BIG?

I NEED TO KNOW HOW EASY IT IS TO ACCIDENTALLY PUT THE WRONG VERSION OF THE GAME ON EVERY CD AND DIGITAL DOWNLOAD WEBSITE

>>109312143
As the guy said before, they were too busy viralling the game on /v/ to check if the game wasn't a buggy pile of shit.

Dead Island confirmed for the biggest joke in 2011. Fucking shitty game on ALL fronts.

Its not really a big deal.

Just dont press Y ?

Game looks great tbh

I love how everyone was praising the polish devs for being so hardcore, yet on task. Also,
>>109312278
they spring into damage control.

>>109312229

It IS a debug build. The y key is bound to no clip. For the devs to quickly debug things.

>>109312278
>It's not really a big deal

Releasing the wrong version kinda definitely is.

>>109311140
so to us non-nerds, what does that mean?

The island they're referring to in the title is their company and reputation

>>109312278
>It's okay guys! You just have to swallow your way through the shit and ignore the stench!

>>109312229

I'm pretty sure it is, unless they decided to include no clipping defaultly bound to Y for no reason. I suppose a lot of computer games have console commands but there's a bit of a difference between that and this.

I am still gonna buy the 360 version

>Mfw Steam offers refunds like they did for From Dust

>>109312205
The map in Just Cause 2 shits ALL over the island in Dead Island.

It's like comparing a boulder to a mountain.

As if the devs care. There are plenty of clowns that still hand over their money. Even on /v/ there are people who are stupid enough to pre-order and buy games based on hype alone. I don't know how such stupidity can be cured.

>>109312298

y key being bound to noclip has nothing to do with the executable being a debug build or not. Sorry, this game isn't going to get totally fixed by some magical day 2 patch.

>>109312309
It's basically the version the developers use while actually making the fucking game, it's not the actual finished product

>>109312309
they released the version of the game that they used to develop the game, complete with all the bugs and tools and content they were dealing with, instead of the version of the game that cut out all the developer tools and abilities, extra content and bugs.

dont press Y key = exact same game.

i dont see the problem.

>>109312272

>>109312389
No. One, it's not optimized, two, it's bugged as shit.

>>109312337

The two things have nothing to do with each other. There is no logical connection between a key bind and "it's a debug build". None. Stop parroting what you read from some other uninformed person.

>yfw all the PC reviews are now officially paid because there is no way someone who was reviewing the game could not have said that they experienced this Y no clip glitch as well.

I hope the 360 version does not have this

what the FUCK were they thinking releasing a zombie game in 2011 anyway? Two weeks after left 4 dead came out I was sick of zombies. They should have just replaced all the zombie models with copies of the main character's model, then it could be an existential game about suicide or something.

>>109312389
It's not like they accidently bound Y to noclip in the regular game. They released the wrong version, which just so happens to have noclip bound to a key for their convenience.

Y is no clip.

Why are they all fucking together.

>>109312433
Yeah, or else they'll release the proper retail as $10 dlc

>>109312432
Reviewers get copies of games in advance.

It's possible they reviewed the correct build of the game, and the one that went out to everyone else is the dev build.

>that feel when developers and publishers just don't care at all anymore

>>109312427
>a developer tool conveniently keybound has nothing to do with the fact that it's a developer build

Are you a fucking retard?

Guessing you've never played any developer build leak before. Crysis 2 had the same types of keybinds.

I hope you enjoy your copy of Dead Island, ignore the buyer's remorse.

>>109312437

Shh, you'll give the indie devs ideas.

>>109312391
Nah, the DOUK is just forgettable as fuck. Because I already completely forgot about it until you mentioned it.

PAYED REVIEWS GENERAL?

to clarify, are we talkinga bout Y on the keyboard, or Y on the goddamn xbox360 controller?

>>109312229

I have the game on steam. I bought it.

It's rife with huge game breaking bugs. I really want to like this game but it's just unplayable when it's being killed by lag/memory leaks.

The worst part is, everything was for a while. It finished decrypting the files and I invited my friend to join the game, we played for a bit but then one of us had to d/c, had various problems that make the game unplayable ever since.

>>109312516
welcome to five years ago

>>109312531

No. There's no logical connection. Correlation does not equal causation. You are parroting something an uninformed person wrote on a forum because they expect a magical patch to fix all the bugs. Not going to happen.

Much worse things than a keybind have been left in final builds of games before. Hot coffee anyone.

>>109312432
reviewers get slightly different copies than retail, since they need to get them earlier

they're just told to ignore stuff that "won't be in final version"

Rarely they make a note of it in their review too (like this was here, but not supposed to stay), but lately they trust devs to remove it more often.

>>109312554
And you'll forget about a noclip keybind even faster.

>>109311759
They move like that on the PC too

>Consoles get finished product
>PCs get buggy developer version
Oh, the irony.

>>109312585
Keyboard, but god knows with a fuckup this big there's probably a bind for it on both controllers.

>>109312515
Part of the ultimatum of getting early review copies is that they must give it a good score. Otherwise, the game review site gets left out on pageviews when the game gets released.

Press Y to win?!


oh man, it saves so much times!

>>109312574

Debug files left in a directory doesn't mean the executable is a "debug" build. Lots of jumping to conclusions here, all sourced from expectation for a magical patch.

Nope. The binary isn't optimized either, so the game runs much slower.

I don't buy any game I don't like myself, so maybe you should stop being a huge faggot and trying to be edgy on the internet. Their opinion is just as worthless as yours here buck rogers.

I'm so glad I didn't buy this game.

So, wait, is the 360 and PS3 versions doing the same shit? Or just the Steam version?
Because if the sent a dev build to be put on the disc versions for consoles...
Wtf man.

>>109313481

There are some people who like getting fucked in the ass doesint mean everybody does.

i knew that trailer was full of shit. game plays nothing like that, you could see it from the first gameplay vids. who the fuck pre-orders because of a trailer?

Mods should sticky this.

Do it!

It's not such a huge mistake that they released the debug build instead of the release build. It just means that they forgot to switch to release build environment in Visual Studio, and it's still the same game whether it's the debug or release build.

The only thing that's different is that the debug build is compiled in such a way that it makes it easy for the developers to see what code the program is executing and what's contained in variables. I guess it makes it easier for malicious users to reverse-engineer the code though.

Noclip being bound to Y is fucked up though.

>>109313512
Dat left arm.

>>109313508
>>109313508

pretty much confirming their knowledge of 4chan. this shit was viraled to hell and back

>>109313471
HAHAHAHA YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING SHITTING ME HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Nearly every reviewer said it was fun,

What is your problem /v/ ?

I thought you loved zombies and shit

Oh wow. It was bound to happen at some point I guess but still, wow

>>109311988
>That's probably the funniest fucking thing I've ever heard of in my life relating to video games.

>>109313532
All of them.

>>109313600
>over 9000
>4chan

huehuahuehua

So... Does that mean that they put the wrong build in the steam servers too? Or is it just Retail DVD's of Dead Island that are the Debug Game?

Am i Downloading the wrong version of this fucking game right now?!

>>109313508

>>109313608
well the game isnt even supposed to be in third person

>>109313481
and thanks to you, devs will keep releasing half-finished products and making a profit from it

yes, it may still be fun.. but it could've been much better

Why is /v/ so vehement about expressing their belief that this game is so shitty? Trust me, I know. I've seen the sentiment many fucking times.

But why start a thread and spend HOURS arguing over a game you don't give a fuck about? Really, fucking why? How can you justify that?

>>109313565

Debug builds also have optimisations turned off (i.e. it will probably run worse than it should).

>have actually played the game
>fucking love it
> don't give a single fuck if anyone here hates it or not

You guys can miss out on a great game if you want. I'll continue having fun.

>>109313636
seriously?
Is there any source on that?

>>109313558

Well I haven't actually bought Dead Islands and I won't, but not because of this, just because I'm not interested in a zombie game.

I was more referring to games like New Vegas where there were hate threads for weeks and then suddenly they disappeared and were replaced by GENERAL threads and everyone holds it higher than FO3 like there's that much of a fucking gap between them.

Such is /v/

Alright the 3rd person animations look horrible.

But why are they such a issue?
You're not meant to either see them or play the game in 3rd person right?

>>109313481
Sometimes the shit storm never settles down.

DA2, for example. To this day /v/ has a seething hatred of bioware because of that game. /v/ now retroactively hates all bioware games (ME 1, 2, KOTOR 1, Baldurs gate, etc) and calls them all horrible shit.

>mfw on a Steam /v/ group I'm in two of you faggots are playing Dead Island
Stay classy /v/

>>109313642
Dear fucking god.
How do you fuck up THAT bad?

>>109313512
I hope you all realize that Dead Island SP is a pure firstperson experience and this is nothing you will notice normally?

>>109313689
mommy wouldn't buy it for them

is there anyone here who says its total shit, whos actually played it ?

>>109313523

>whats your problem

>>109313720
New vegas was pretty shit on release. Its been improved massively with patches.

>>109313277
I havent pre ordered a game since Oblivion. Its just common sense why pay for something you havent seen. Come on you guys never heard of the "old switcheroo".

>>109313740
Good point, this thread obviously is everyone who lurks /v/, and we are all members of said group.

>>109313508
>fuck the devs even made a post on their facebook about "having OVER 9000! LIKES"

They could've viraled on reddit. They steal everything 4chan makes, after all.

>>109313721
The 3rd person animations are fine for others. Just the player's animations are messed up in 3rd person because they're meant for 1st person.

See; >>109312769

>>109313172
Waiting for a response from steam support for refund.

all the buyer's remorse ITT

''i'm totally enjoying the game guys REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY ENJOYING IT''

>>109313724
the specific hate for DA2 personally bothers me

Because they talk as-if DA1 was good (it was a major piece of shit, and to this day, I still regret buying it). Should've stopped caring at that point already.

>>109313774

no they viralled because of the image he replied to

>>109313776
Fucking this, NV1 and 2 where shit games but where ALOT of fun in COOP.

Same with Call of Juarez (the original Euro one) it needed patching before it got good.

Geee people here are clutching at straws

>>109313775
but its still a version that works perfectly fine

if you dont press Y

You'd buy a stinking pile of horseshit if it had a good trailer, I honestly think so.

>>109313838
I think you got the terms mixed up. What you were looking for is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-purchase_rationalization. Close enough though

>>109313774

everyone hates your game, your attempts to viral it have failed. just go away.

>>109313689
Because we actually give a fuck about what's happening in the industry?
Shit like this is unacceptable.

>>109313155

But it's true.

It's likely to be a dev build, but it isn't 100% guaranteed. A certain company I used to work for produces .pdb files for both Debug AND Release builds. They just don't fucking -publish- them.

>>109313842

DA:O was Alright, the seething hatred for DA2 is because instead of improving the series into something that might have been great, they just removed any good qualities and added in a bunch of shit that just ruined the game completely. Almost reverse engineering in some aspects.

>>109313856
> NV1 and 2 where shit games but where ALOT of fun in COOP
FULL FUCKING RETARD inb4 i was just trolling pic related.

>>109313915
honestly, i expected the game to blow, ESPECIALLY after seeing that trailer, but now that i see it has a lot of RPG elements and a huge island i really do want to play it. Just trying to find it as cheap as possible, dont think its worth $50 or anything, maybe $30

holy damage control batman!

>>109313887
I'm sure if I was a dev, I'd be busy working on a fucking patch for the game right about now.

Still waiting on that justification.

>>109313858

No.

Nobody's acting like anything and if I was trying to be superior I probably wouldn't post images from a disney movie....

>>109313858
And you ignore the Lag, the Memory leakage, the crashes, the bugs, and how fucking shit the game is.

>>109314084
I love when people show that they weren't around for things and act like they have knowledge.

>>109314086
You're not on /b/. It's about the only board that doesn't use proper punctuation and capitalization.

Is it a console player thing to enjoy menial repetitive tasks and faux difficulty based on slow controls?

I, I....
I just can't enjoy this game.
Sure it's world is pretty.

This game can't into:
>Personality
>Goals
>Immersion
>Facial Animation
>Actual Threat
>Logic
etc.


I'll just keep it for the world.
Please, someone, somehow, mod this game so it's bearable for PC....

>>109314086
Oh god he's right.

I'd feel sorry for them, but they're yurofags, eastern yurofags at that. No sympathy from me. I'll just point and laugh.

>>109314023
Just like they took their time with the game right? To make sure it was of the highest quality im sure.

>>109313689
because when a game is advertised a lot and is supposed to be something good and new, it feels great when it turns out to be a piece of shit like most people expected without being sure yet.

Personally, my hope is that some developers actually browse /v/ and realize that pumping out shitty games is not reccomended unless you have activision on your back

Developers keep having pretty cool ideas for new games but they screw up hard when it comes to gameplay and mechanics: eventually theyll realize that "retarded" doesnt imply "good for everyone"

Dead Island - Press 'Y' to lose all yo shit.

>>109314086

nah ive noticed it too. its either samefags like crazy, or this game LITERALLY is dead viraland

>caring about the industry
>not pirating all games

>>109314147
It's called consumer power.

I was actually looking forward to this game. I had a choice between this and DE:HR. Thank god I chose the latter and not this piece of shit. Best $35 spent this year.

>>109313948

>video game consoles as the example
>number of games

>>109314086
Nope. It's pretty apparent that devs are trying to do damage control for this shit game.
Example:>>109313982
There is a 100% chance that is a dev

>>109314086
>>109314086
I bitch about this every time i see a dead island thread.

>>109314228
>People who use correct English are viralling the game
I cried viral at one of the posts in, but this is just so retarded it hurts

>>109314241
>can only buy one game
>didn't preorder dehr the day it was available

>>109314264

No. It's 100% chance that it's someone pretending to viral to troll fucking idiots like you.

>>109314264
I'm out of /v/ for the night. Dear fucking Christ, you are one dumb fucking lot of human beings.

>>109314264
No, that is called a troll. It is made of internet anger and fail.

I have to delete the pirated prelease before the crack is even released? Damn it.

Once again, those who are cynical, jaded and hate every game that comes out are the clear winners. Stop getting hyped for anything, set your expectations low and hope to be pleasantly surprised once in a while. Never preorder anything.

>>109314173

>just buy it DUDE.

>>109314173
>implying /v/ isn't /b/

I'm not gonna lie, I really don't give a shit about the money I spent on this game. I could've just easilly spent it on something else more superfluous.

The main thing i want when a game is released is for it to fucking work, and this doesn't work at all. That's why I'm upset personally.

>mfw I buy the console version
>mfw I dont have to worry about pressing y
>mfw

>>109314352
is there a pirate version out bro ?

>>109314285
backwards bro, the people supporting the game are all using proper grammar and punctuation, which is a bit of a tip-off towards a level of professionalism, i.e. paid poster

>>109314312
I did preorder it. I suppose I wasn't clear.

I meant I could only preorder one game, and it was between those two. Thank god I chose DE:HR.

hey this might sound sort of pathetic but....i have no friends and sort of foreveralone. Would anybody from /v/ want to play together??? being totally srs. I have to wait for green man gaming to send me my cd key though

>>109314390
>Never preorder anything
but... some hats are only available for preorder

-1day incoming.

>>109314264
I've seen this shit for EVERY SINGLE GAME.
you fuckers need to stop being so paranoid about viral marketing.
I've seen this so stupidly much after borderlands that i've become extremely certain, that pretty much all of these supposed "caught devs" are trolls trying to make the game look bad

BY THE WAY for all of you idiots, you're all confusing viral marketing with stealth marketing if you think devs are posting as anons.

>>109314428

More like, the people who aren't screaming, "HURRRRRRR FUCKING TOLD PCFAGS, 8.0 8.0 8.0" aren't 12 years old.

>>109314264
it's confirmed, anyone who hates dead island is most likely underage b&, german, or really fucking stupid

>>109314428
I'd agree with you, bro, but I don't think a small polish dev would have the money for that. Unless it's done by the publishers.

>>109314423
Feels good using something for retards. Dont worry theres not to many buttons to scare you.

>>109314315
Sure thing, boss. It's all an elaborate ruse. The 15 threads that popped up when the trailer first came out was just to troll, all these posts trying to console those who have purchased it are trolling, the massive influx of "lol this game looks good, buy it" threads are all trolls. Trolls trolling trolls, amirite?

>>109313740

How embarrassing, Jethro can't sleep anymore

>>109314533
So now having good taste in games (or at least not liking broken, buggy, half assed games) means you are either under 18 or German (was the game not released there?) How bout dem ad hominems?

>>109314660
I'm not astroturfing expert.

>>109314428
Shit, not all people on /v/ are illiterate 17yo cunts. How's that tinfoil hat working for you?
I pre-ordered DI, Eurofag so preloaded but not unlocked until the 9th. Will get to play the game patched from the start, good.
If that debug version blunder allows tech-heads to create mod-tools faster, even better. I'm not sure why people bitch so much about the graphics, the island looks beautiful to me. Someone mentionned Just Cause 2. Bitch please, it's huge ok but it's cartoonish and nowhere near as detailed as DI.

>>109314603
Or it could have just been one, two, or a few people attempting to troll by pseudo-viralling. NAH, that's fucking retarded.

It's clearly the Polish developers posting on an anonymous image board notorious for their jaded sentiments towards video games. And we all know 4chan is a fucking gold mine for profit. No one here pirates!

Maybe I'm one of the developers. Maybe your tin-foil hat isn't on correctly. WHO THE FUCK KNOWS, IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY

>>109314423
From your pic i can say the age is right for a console owner.

>>109314787

I'm actually kinda interested, I just hope this will soon be remedied.
also does anyone have any pics of weird places they've discovered in no clip mode? I found some guy on top of the hotel
