    I started a new character.. the new hand to hand guy. I find it fun, mainly because I love zombies. Looking forawrd to meeting up with people and exploring these new dead zone zombie dungeons.

    I also started a john character. My only concern is that it started off at level 15 for some reason.

    got it today. it is by far the shittiest and most buggy game I have tried.

    with the first character, I missed the boat when trying to jump on it, and the waters were too deep to get in it again. so now the boat is stranded somewhere I cannot reach it. so I gave up.

    then I started a new character, and it got stuck when some horde did not show up. the people around me are crying for help fending them off, but they are nowhere.

    If anyone who was involved in making this game sees this comment, I only have one thing to say: you have failed completely and utterly. you all seem to be kind of like an american car: quite useless.

    on a scale from 1 to 10, I give you 1,5. the ,5 is because the game actually started up, and worked for at least half an hour before something bugged. congratulations on actually having a job. in my country, people who are not able to do their job properly, have a hard time finding a job thet pays good.

    Anyways, I played this for a couple hours thursday night with a friend. We continued with out DI1 characters and had a rough start until we found some decent weapons. We did encounter some laughable (or in his case depressing) minor bugs such as throwing weapons at a suicider and watching them go flying into impossible to reach places, and had way too much fun with the ridiculous range on bombs (stun bombs OP!).

    Sorry you have had a bad experience. I have had a pretty good time playing this game. I guess im just lucky. In my opinion it started kinda slow but it really kicks it up a notch after awhile especially in Henderson.

    started up with the 3rd character, and this time it worked properly just about all the way through. had to exit and reenter the game a couple of times. but other than that, it did not glitch to an extent that messed up the game experience this time.

    so, all in all a fun game, when overlooking the fact that I had to do the 2 first acts 3 times before being able to reach act 3. and I also had to delete both the first 2 characters to be able to get the boat to be where it is supposed to be.

    sacrid: that is no excuse. the entertainment industry is extremely active in telling us that copyrighted material has the same ownership status as physical products. and that is fine by me, but in my opinion, they cannot have it both ways. if they want it to be protected from thefth te same way and to the same extent as physical products, one should, as a consumer, be intitled to an equally error-free product as you would expect from a maker of telephones, ropes, screwdrivers and othe physical products. how difficult that is to achieve, is none of my concern.

    and its not like we are dealing with a non-profit charitable organization. those people make these products to make money. and when I pay for something, I expect it to work properly.

    It is a perfectly valid excuse. They can't possibly test every single variable in every single situation. When you pay for a game you lease the rights to play the game run by their code, it could be the buggiest piece of shit on the market and you are still getting EXACTLY what you paid for.

    While I am sorry that your game experience was crappy, coming on to a forum to insult a game for having bugs is just childish.

    Finally unlocked all achievements in Riptide. It took me awhile to find all the collectibles The official strategy guide is not 100% right when it comes to the locations of the collectibles. Thanks to the online gaming community for the assistance in finding them all.
