i'm not pissed off and i wasn't pissed off back then because it was a fucking cg trailer with zero gameplay, you'd be a fucking idiot to think it was gonna represent the gameplay.

This

This was the announcement trailer. There was no information beforehand about the game other than that it was abandoned around 2007 and only existed in a prototype stage. It's reasonable that people base their expectations on a first impression.

Considering what we got, though, it's reasonable to be pissed off ANYWAY.

Honestly Dead Island was a shitty game anyway. It has some good moments when you're first exploring the Resort but then becomes shit and monotonous for the other 2/3rds of the game.

Dying Light improved fucking EVERYTHING about the Dead Island games. Waiting for DL2.

You could argue that the game wasn't meant to go into third person, but holy shit you could still see your shadow doing the same thing in first person.

no gameplay was shown
at all
what the fuck were you expecting

I thought that trailer sucked ass anyways, lo and behold the game did too.

You can say that about almost every Blizzard game ever made. Except maybe Overwatch.

Well, for one, to play as the dad or play as another family. Have an actual realistic zombie-survival game set on an island where you play as a family-man.

Instead we get to play as "le most chinese martial artist kung fu blademaster woman" ever, the world's blackest man, Mr. "I PLAYED FOR THE FUCKING GODDAMN CHAMPIONS" football dude, and Australian Rochelle.

>wanting to play the dad
but he's pretty much a dead man in the trailer

>how dare they have common sense. how dare they not have kneejerk reactions and baseless expectations

>Trailers about how the characters are all heroes trying to save the world
>Shows different factions
>Gameplay is just them running around killing each other over and over
>Enemies just team up for no reason

>game about generic zombie garbage
>worth talking about
who gives a shit

I never understood why people went apeshit for this mediocre trailer.

2011 and 2012 was when "THE FEELS" was at it's height hence why Cred Forums fell in love with this shit and the last of us, and the walking dead. everyone had a hard-on for 'father figures looking after young girls'.

I'm not just talking about Cred Forums.

>cinematic trailer doesn't show gameplay
STOP THE PRESSES

>Well, for one, to play as the dad or play as another family
really sorry about that but you're absolute fucking retard

I never cared about the dead island trailer desu, the "emotional" take really turned me off, and the game was nothing like the trailer.

Dead Island 2's trailer on the other hand got me mildly excited and then it was cancelled because Deep Silver is garbage. Now that's something to be upset about.

More an issue of tone than anything.
