RAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So I'm not usually one for bothering with journals, considering I doubt anyone ever reads them, but on the off chance someone does I felt this necessary.
Play. Dead Island. NOW.
I shit you not, regardless of all the bugs people bitch about, and the mix up with the release (which was promptly fixed) it is likely to be up in the running for my personal favorite games of all time.
I'd say it's my Game of the Year, but the poor bastards have to contend with Skyrim come November and well... that's a fucking tough customer guaranteed.
Anyway, back to brains. This game is absolutely incredible, and if you have a machine that can handle it for PC, i recommend doing so because nothing beats a good keyboard and mouse for bashing zombie heads in.
The multiplayer is akin to Borderlands meets Left 4 Dead in probably some of the most fun free-roaming zombie-smashing fun I've ever played. The simple notion of having someone or someones watching your back and covering you completely changes the game and makes it a whole new monster, one with some seriously addictive gameplay. (I've already logged well over a full 24 hours into it, and not even progressed all that far with the main story line, simply because of how much fun just fucking around can be.)
Singleplayer however is a whole other story. Most people will bitch and whine that it's not worth playing outside of co-op and that's complete bullshit. Those people are just panty-pissing insecure wastes who can't handle an undead whore without people at their flanks. You step into this game by yourself when you're at a decent level and you'll get a fuckin run for your money trying to take on groups of zombies, or just a few of the tougher ones. When before you'd joyfully prance around bonking the flesh-hungry beasts on the head with a bat, you'll now backpedal in a panic trying to fend them off your loins.
The contrast clearly visible between just these two modes has absolutely amazed me, and it has succeeded in a way even Borderlands didn't (That game truly was only worth playing in co-op.) So yeah, fucking play it! You won't regret it so long as you actually like zombies!
[Just for clarification, the title for this journal is my textual interpretation of the cries of one of the large "Thug" zombies from the game. That god damn sound has been stuck in the back of my mind ever since I heard it. x-x ]
