You and everybody else. And look what happened.

I suspect this is true of most people who pre-ordered the game. The only reason I didn't pre-order it was because I forgot it existed, and now it's out I got warned not to get it right now because it's bugged to hell :/

What's wrong with the game?

From what I understand, the gameplay and whatnot is decent, but it's really, really really buggy. Quests finish themselves, if you go out of co-op sometimes it doesn't register you did things in co-op, cars getting stuck and glitching out, etc.

also, http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/119/1193218p1.html

pretty uncool

The comments on that article are gross.

What what what?

...damnit, one of the reasons I was interested in DI was because it had two female leads who were pretty damn badass. I appreciate that their apology wasn't just "sorry you were offended, BB", but this just makes me sad that apparently they can't even make a character like Purna without immediately going "lol man-hating feminist" :/

Yikes. You must be pretty upset right now

What's wrong the with game?

I vowed to never, ever give this game any money because of that trailer. It's great marketing, sure, but I hate when they use that kind of painfully obvious emotional manipulation just to up their sales.

This. I mean, obviously it worked as a marketing ploy, but that's exactly what it was: a ploy. It feels cheap, especially considering the actual game has virtually no connection to the trailer.

I wouldn't have minded if the game WAS ANYTHING LIKE THE TRAILER! It was advertised as this deep, moving experience that would reflect the true horrors of a zombie apocalypse. You would have to make moral choices about who to save and who not to save, children would die just like adults, families would be torn apart, and so on and so forth.

What did we get instead? A buggy glitchy Fallout 3 esque mess where you can play as a rapper, a Chinese assassin, an Aboriginal marksman or a guy who's really good with a pipe. Oh, I can feel the tears of realism welling up in side me. /sigh

Really? I mean, I guess I can see it, but that trailer seemed like it was practically telling you what to cry about in such an over the top way I couldn't take it seriously. It goes "whoaaa look what's happening to this regular happy family and their POOR GIRL WHO HAS A CUTE PONYTAIL AND IS WEARING A CUTE DRESS WITH A CARTOON ON IT OMG JESUS TOO TRAGIC AVERT YOUR EYES"... I was seriously expecting the jolly family dog to show up as a zombie and bite her head off.

Heh. Glad to know I wasn't the only one who got a little teary-eyed over the trailer. I know it was cheap emotional manipulation but I couldn't help it! I'm easily manipulated.

Out of curiosity, how's the game?

Yeah, that's pretty much why I bought the game as well. The emotional, heart string-tugging trailer did what it was supposed to do, build up hype. I knew something was wrong when I saw actual gameplay for it and it really had nothing to do with what the trailer conveyed. And then I found out while playing the game that the overly cliche storyline has nothing to do with the trailer at all. So yeah. Everyone's pretty much been duped.

And don't forget the game-breaking save glitches and weapon glitches and vehicle glitches and just plain glitches all around. And the wonky controls. And the flat characters. The whole game is kind of a disappointment.

(deleted comment)

If my kid was attacked by a raving, sickly mob I would assume it's a raving, sickly mob and not, you know, zombies. Because zombies aren't real.

It made me cry, but I'm fine with the "emotional manipulation" because...it's a zombie game of high quality. I intend to nab it anyway once they iron out the bugs.

This is why you watch all of the trailers first.

You must be very disappointed right now!

I really hoped from the trailer that it was going to be almost Silent Hill-like (not in terms of gameplay, just general atmosphere), but it's just a buggy mishmash of Left 4 Dead and Borderlands. Can't believe they went with that trailer - the audience who would like the trailer would probably think the actual game was shallow rubbish, and the audience who would like the actual game would think the trailer was stupid sentimental garbage.

This is why I waited. I thought the trailer was fantastic, but that sort of thing always makes me Fry-squint in suspicion that the game itself isn't going to be that good. I'm glad I waited, I'm pissed off the trailer basically lied to everyone. I'll stick with Dead Rising and L4D.

Eh, I pre-ordered mine for the 360 & have had no problems at all so far. Not a single glitch or bug.

Mind you, I only play single player so that would probably cut down on a lot of issues.

Sadly the game is nothing like the trailer, from what I've seen/heard. But damn was it a good emotional hook for people.

It's probably one of the best game trailers ever, it's just a shame the game doesn't live up to it.

i didn't keep up with this game much after the initial trailer. but i stumbled across the introduction video the other day and it pretty much killed any interest i might have had in the game.

from this:

to this:

looks like nothing more than a generic zombie game with generic characters with shitty voice acting. hearing about the game breaking bugs, glitches and screen tearing put me off too, tbh.
