Dead Island vs Dead Island Riptide

Really enjoyed the first one. Can't believe it's been over a decade since it came out. Haven't played Riptide and probably won't but really looking forward to the new one.

They're actually one of the few first person games I can play and enjoy. (The others are the Far Cry games)Usually Can't stand first person games.

If you mean first person shooters, I feel the same.

If you're talking about perspective, the game changes a lot.

Take Assassins Creed games and Mirror's Edge. Both have parkour, but Mirror's Edge was so well received partly because parkour had never been done from a first person perspective. Or at least not so well.

Pretty much. I've always just preferred the look and controls of 3rd person games. I'd rather have a Witcher III, Red Dead 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us than I would most FPS games. I tried games which get great reviews like Alien Isolation but can never stick them out. Part of it might be because games like GTA V and RDR2 were not great in their FP modes.

There are exceptions. I'd rather Far Cry 4 over Uncharted 4 for example.

I'll see if I can pick it cheap. Been meaning to fire up my old 360 anyway.

You found one in your price range yet?

Currently playing Cyberpunk so once I'm done I'll pick up a copy as I've nothing else on my list. Looking forward to it. 👍
