I'm pretty disappointed by the story

[Nino_Chaosdrache]

I know that the main focus of the agme isn't the story, but I'm really disappointed how Dead Island Riptide ended. Honestly, I liked the story of the first Dead Island a lot and I think that it had something mysterical with Kuru as a natural virus to be source of the zombies and the native residents of Banoi.

And then they turn all of this around and make it a maintsream 0815 Resident Evil story with an evil corporation, a bio weapon that is unleashed on innocent civilians to test the effects and that gets out of control and the normal open ending. No Kuru, no native residents, just your normal zombie story.

And the story also doesn't answer open questions as well. You don't get to know what happened to Yerema after you get arrested on the ship, you don't know if Sinamoi or the poeple in the Church are still alive or if the survivors are still alive or turned into zombies themselfes in the end. Instead you have this already mentioned open ending.

All fair points. I gotta say though I for one didn't expect much after looking at the metacritic rating. I went into it thinking it wasn't going to be too special and ended up enjoying it

On the other hand, I went into Bioshock Infinite thinking it was going to be amazing and was completely underwelmed.

I too would like to know what ever happened to those survivors who we last see alive. ...

Maybe we will get an answer if the ending of Riptide left the story open like I think it did.

I'm not saying you're wrong at all - it was just relative for me all things considered.

Dead Island 2 coming soon and also a stand alone

1) No bombs were dropped on Banoi (as confirmed in Riptide) - And Sinamoi is alive and serves as the announcer in Dead Island Epidemic, so you can safely assume everyone in DI1 who survived to the end is still alive out there unless proven otherwise by any future games canon to Dead Island. Neither island was bombed - And Dead Island 2 clearly takes place elsewhere - So there's a high chance the franchise will eventually take place on a global scale.

2) The mutation story was definitely cheap and frustrating - And the stories in both games were unmemorable. But let's face it - There's only so much you can do with a 'zombie apocalypse' setting, so nobody should really worry too much about story. Sure, it was silly and predictable but it's more about rounding up the characters rather than tying loose ends. If Sam B (as shown in multiple media) is appearing in Epidemic, which takes place after DI1 (and not before Riptide) then it may be safe to assume everyone survived.

3) Yerema is the source of the infection - So the devs either kept her out of it simply to further the story in future games, or they opted out of fleshing out her and Kevin's stories for other production based reasons. Ultimately, considering she appeared pretty much 3/4 of the way through the plot/story of DI1, I don't much care what they do regarding her, or the tribe. The infection will go way beyond the woes of the 'source' by the time DI2 is out and I doubt it'll be revisited now that three (or more) cities/locations in the world are teeming with zombies.

Apparently Deep Silver has another Dead Island in the making, "Escape Dead Island".
This one is supposed to shed some light on the origin of the outbreak.
Here is the Link at Deep Silver:

The survivors are dead and have become zombies, if you followed the story well, point by point, the final means that they are dead.
Then about Dead Island we were certain that they were immune immune to the virus, instead of Dead Island Riptide it turns out that the immune are not immune to the virus but they slow the virus, for example, if a non-immune bitten the virus will mutate in 30 minutes, instead the immune will change in 3 days (again an example).
However, if you listened to the speech of Dr. Kessler says that if the immune are exposed for too long in the Radiation (Level Tunnel Chinese), the mutation is speeded up.
But when fighting Harlow, survivors must necessarily inject mutagenic to beat Harlow, but they inject the virus in their body is sped up greatly and so when they escape by boat, Purna says "I have a headache ... ..però i'm fine "means that the virus is mutating and then Purna (I think the weakest or the one closest to the zombie mutation) kills all non-immune in the boat, and then the epilogue the girl comes over and opens the door and you can hear the verses of zombie survivors. (Purna, John, Sam B, Xian & Logan)

@Yaz - Wow I beat the game yesterday and all I noticed were a few of my brain cells dying. Thanks for pointing all that out, I totally missed it!

Hopefully Dead Island 2 will be a better game. I really liked the first one, but Riptide was just garbage. :(

I see Dead Island 2 Gameplay and honestly lost what little "Horror" has become such a "zombie parody," I hope I'm wrong because seeing that gameplay has not convinced me right and I'm a fan of the saga, but I prefer the predecessors.
