Yeah, my understanding is that it's presented as a report or series of reports? Documentary style, like. So yeah, I think you've *got* to be into the premise to get much from it.

 

Yeah, exactly. It’s like reading a bunch of collected columns/diaries/logs. I found it quite forgettable.

One of the golden age SF writers - maybe Olaf Stapleton - wrote a book that wholly comprised reviews of imagined books. That, by contrast, was a great read as I remember.

Ditched WWZ the game, played smore DIR and even launched L4D2 just to be sure. Yep, WWZ is irredeemably bad.

I picked it up free on Epic a week or so ago. Glad you saved me the effort of trying it out :)
I noticed I have a dead island beta in my steam library. Anyone tried that?   

Beta? Like for a DI3?

Was very interesting how they turned Glasgow city centre in to New York via the magic of swapping some street signs and dotting a few yellow cabs about the place.

I feel like I must see it now. Watch out for the Zombie army massing at the corner of Tenth and Sauchiehall.

 

I remember suckyhall! (lived in Glasgow for several months winter of '76-77 while I commuted to Edinburgh College of Art)

I think its called Dead Island Epidemic. I should install it and see what it is I guess.

It's a top-down isometric game  :-S

(Fortnite is the coronavirus of gaming)

Ah, thanks for that. Doesn't look like nearly as much zombie shooting/bludgeoning fun to be worthy of the name.   :-D

The main thing they did to make it look completely unlike Glasgow was stick up "Alcoholic Beverages Prohibited" signs. I've attached a couple of photos I took at the time.
