Dead Island krijgt gigantische patch dankzij negatieve reviews

Dead Island ligt over een paar dagen pas in de winkels, maar de eerste reviews druppelen onderhand al binnen en deze zijn op z’n zachtst gezegd niet positief. De meeste mensen vonden de game een enorme domper die op bijna geen enkel vlak haar belofte waarmaakte en vol zat met bugs.

Onze eigen review van de game moet er nog aankomen, maar we zijn er wel blij mee dat Deep Silver deze bugs niet over haar rug laat gaan en meteen een patch gaat uitbrengen. Deze patch zal de onderstaande waslijst van bugs en glitches fixen, wat de cijfers misschien nog wat omhoog kan krikken.
