I play solo the vast majority of the time btw. Never join other games and a few times I've let one other player hang around in mine, usually if they have no headset but there was one guy when I started that had a heap of good shit and gave me like 3mil of goodies plus heaps of top tier upgrades for melee weapons

You always seem to get these kinds of people giving you free shit.

[HeavyMetalGamer]

Fixed.

LOL....well I mean think about it, if you owned a cam girl business, you would be making money. So it's a good idea. I am going to get my hands on this game, and review it one day. I mean why not, sure it has a anime style, and it's not my thing, but it could make for good laughs.

Nah just the vanilla one, I tend not to bother with DLC for games now unless I feel I can't do without it.

Well if you want a couple of things early in the game (bow, decent police rifle, German pistol and maybe a decent machete with 3 upgrade slots) I can invite you and give them to you. Already got them stashed so it isn't a big deal.

I think without the DLC you don't get any vehicle driving stuff at all Anyway I wanted the complete game and not just the free DLC.

Well in the DI games there are people everywhere that have modded weapons so it isn't really hard to get that stuff, just don't go begging for it 'cos that puts people off. If you just play for a bit then a random will just start dumping stuff near a trader or whatever. For DL I was just lucky I guess, considering cheat type modded weapons don't exist and all the early dupe glitches (items/weapons) have been fixed now so people with loads of good shit are older players, and they have to be generous too (which isn't normal). I think you can still dupe stuff via a grapple glitch but I haven't tried it myself

That's possible, but I have no idea when I'll get around to it (if ever )

If I enjoy the game enough when I do play it, I'll probably get the complete edition.

Well like I said, I like it To me it seems a little more like a cross between Far Cry 3 and Dead Island...but that's just me.

Being more Far Cry 3 with a little bit of Dead Island sounds OK to me.

It's a zombie game yeah. But with parkour, more crafting, upgrading skills that unlock extra abilities, the grapple (you don't get it until later on though). It's more of a proper rpg than the DI games imo. There are heaps of things to do...side missions that actually give you ok rewards, supply drops to capture, several different types of random encounter events.
I haven't played all that much at night 'cos I die too easily I've got invasions turned off atm.

[Inferno.]

It actually sounds pretty good, a game I could see myself enjoying. That's why I waited to pick it up cheap though, just in case I don't like it so much.

[deadlegion]

You'll need to play through the prologue solo first, then co-op is enabled. You can set that to public or private. Even if it's public you can still kick everybody from your game if you want.
I recommend you turn off invasions until much later, and if you do have it turned on make sure you have at least another player with you.

The update for The Following enhanced edition was nearly 4GB, not sure if the base game is the same or more (I'm thinking enhanced might have some old updates included).

[Inferno.]

Eh, updates aren't a problem. We've got 100Mbps broadband now.

[deadlegion]

Oh I just mentioned it so you'd organise to update before playing. I'm not sure if the base game needs a bigger update than that, and I thought you said something about current gen games needing updates recently?

Yeah. I said it's annoying when you think oh I've got a half an hour spare, I'll play GTA V. Puts disc in, waits 10 hours for installs+updates.

[Inferno.]

Like if I know in advance I want to play something I'll install and update it in advance.

[deadlegion]

GTA V That would be worse than playing Dead Island...with all the kids I mean.
