Dead Island PS3 Patch Breaks Broken Game

4.7

Dead Island came to launch with many problems that needed to be addressed. The developer was forthright with the issues and gamers were well aware that fixes were on the way. The PlayStation 3 version of this patch has been approved and launched to update the game, unfortunately this patch has broken many players Dead Island games.

Beware of the update on the PS3 as it may erase your progress and game stats completely. This goes for you trophy hunters that may be working toward very specific goals. As reported, progress that has been made towards trophies is reset. If you are a completionist that has already been working their way forward in Dead Island, this patch may see you having to start the game over completely.

In even worse cases, some users that have downloaded and applied the patch have reported that they are unable to play the game at all. Xbox 360 gamers may be breathing a sigh of relief considering that the patch hasn't gone through certification yet. On the other hand, Techland may need to go back to the drawing board and restart the patch submission process with Microsoft which could take even longer to get the fixes that should have been included in the game when it launched last week.

DemonSurfer What a joke!
Isn't there a new rule where you can take your game back for a refund if it's buggy and flawed??

it depends on where you brought it.
most game stores will take it back just say it doesnt work which is the truth.

iv taken games back to the game store nier me and told them i want a refund cos its crap and they did it

It's a shame really. It has a ton of potential but it is buggy to the point where it is almost unplayable. I will be looking forward to the patch that fixes these problems.

I own this game for the 360 and I enjoy it. It does need that patch but this is just ridiculous. Frankly, I'm glad they haven't put it out for the 360. Such a sad story to hear this game take a huge blow like this. But, never the less, it was the game developers fault letting a bugged up game to be released.
