will i like dead island if i like left 4 dead 2

Bump, I'm interested to know this too, altho I loved l4d much more than l4d2.

Will I like dead island if I like killing floor?

They're entirely different games, I personally would compare Dead Island to Borderlands. Except with mainly melee weapons. There are guns but ammunition is limited.

Dead Island is almost entirely focused on melee (swords, maces, chainsaws, etc), guns are not that important. Its slower paced, and has more rpg features (character progression).

EDIT: like Borderlands, but without the guns, as above poster said.

I did but you cant really compare it to L4D2...the only similarity is zombies...

Dead Island is a real hit or miss game. I really enjoy the game, got 20 hours of co-op in it. If you like Dead Rising games with a FO3 style of looting everything you see gameplay. You'll enjoy this game.

If you go in expecting to shoot tons of zombies in the face, you'll probably think this game is too slow and boring.

They don't resemble each other at all. Payday: The Heist is like L4D.

Dead Island Solo = Worst Game EVER! With some friends in Coop it can be a little bit fun. Same like Left 4 Dead - solo terrible waste of time and in Coop its OK.

DI is one of the worst game released lately(ish). Only thing I see similiar to L4D2 are zombies. You can compare it to Burn! ZOmbie burn! beczuse there are zombes there too.....

Got the point? :)

People hate on Dead Island a lot, but my friends and I really enjoyed it. I put 41 hours into playing it, mostly co op. I'll admit, by yourself its sort of boring and depressing, but playing with friends is where this game really shines. If you love zombie related things, and co op rpgs, then you'll like Dead Island.

Probably not, to any of you. Although it contains zombies, it isn't like either game in any real way. Dead Island isn't bad, but I don't know many people that were interested in playing it more than once. I'm some kind of circus freak though, and after grinding out all the achievements (which took somewhere around 50 hours) I ended up playing through it with 3 people who had never finished it on their own (which was also something a lot of people had in common.) I think I'm somewhere around 90 hours in game, but most people I've checked on only get to about 3 if they're on their own, maybe 9-10 if they are playing with a friend.

KF is a round-based survival FPS more similar to L4D(2) where your resources matter. Dead Island is a single storyline through 4 acts of gameplay that can be repeated. Resources are best done at the start, where you find anything and everything you can to bash zombies over the head, hoping it doesn't break before you find another weapon or the current zombies are all dead, and it is amazing. By act 2, you start having far more than you need to fight zombies, and by the end your electrified super-katana that makes zombies heads explode regardless of where you hit them just totally ruins the experience.

Don't get it if you're expecting anything even similar to KF or L4D(2), and if you do get it, I'd honestly suggest avoiding the crafting system until/unless you're having a hard time getting through some content.

Thanks for all the input, think I'll pass on it then ^^

Dead Island is not survival, it's FPS RPG(like borderlands)

No, unlike L4D2.. Dead Island is not a good game.

Aslong you have crazy friends to play it with, you will enjoy it
