[quote name='thesuzukimethod']i played the game at launch all the way through...there were a few bugs here and there (mostly graphical glitches, occasional freezes, iirc)...nothing game breaking...actually nothing specific i can remember...but they were patched (after i played it)
re: fallout comparisons...definitely some conceptual overlap...i really liked FO3, and i really liked dead island (i expected to like FO, DI was a surprise).
No VATS style targeting though...and I recommend playing as the sharp weapons expert in the game - her skill tree is badass, and the guns skills in the game a re a little weak.[/QUOTE]
That's who I'm playing as in the game(Xian, I believe her name is) and it's definitely been a blast thus far. It does get a lil repetitive with all of the fetch quests early in the game, but overall the action is what keeps me coming back.
