EXPcalibur is a sword on a rock in the middle of the ocean. It gives you 3000Xp and is a pretty amazingly strong weapon to boot.
Stream I was watching yesterday had that. It seemed to drop a blueprint but I wasn't sure if you could craft it more than once
I actually ran across that last night when I wanted to see if anything was on an island I saw in the distance. It takes THREE minutes to pull it from the rock. It's pretty ridiculous. I killed one of those huge zombies (who have the giant concrete hammers) in two hits.
The downside is it only has a durability of 7 and when I tried to repair it, nothing happened, then I noticed it has no repair slot. So I'm guessing it can't be fixed at all. Which is probably good since it's so powerful.
So I'm watching those videos posted earlier on this page. I guess this game has a weapon/inventory system kind of like Dead Island? Does it have item crafting and durability and all that?
Dead Island was very RPG-lite as far as having a skill and talent tree. Is this game like that too?

For those that didn't watch TotalBiscuit's port report for this, basically the only setting that matters for your frame rate is view distance. Turn it down all the way, you'll get barely any pop in on the scenery, enemies won't pop in, and it doubled my frame rate.
How do you read the notes you pick up? Picked up a journal and a few notes but can't find them in the menu/inventory system
Found it. In the inventory tab, bottom right is the collectibles command. F on PC, not sure about controller.
Awesome, thanks!
Second question for people:
I've found and opened a couple of cop vans... I've only managed to get batons/baseball bats and Ammo inside of them. Is this kinda like Dead Island in that you have to get to a certain point in the story for guns to be accessible? So you should wait on opening cop vans until then?

No, guns are super rare. One review I watched said they only found three in the entire game and even less bullets.

So this game is mostly melee then?
...
After appearing from a warp in time and space, just after the credits rolled in New Vegas, a man in power armor appeared in the middle of Turkey, ready to rock some zombies with his trust flaming sword. Once a knight, then a lord, now a paladin dedicated to fighting that which lurks in the night. Zombies? Monsters? Pah. He'd faced down super mutants and deathclaws back in the Mojave. Let them all come.
They would burn in righteous fire.
My Internet goes from 3 Mbps to 16 on Friday. I'll install the game then.
While it's a little monotone, not unlike Dead Island, I'm loving it lots. It's like a much more polished, truely open world Dead Island, with stellar movement baked into it.
My hope is that the next iteration of Battlefield after Hardline will have taken a good hard look at Dying Light, and allow me to traverse its environments in much the same fashion. That'd be a dream come through.
Organic natural-feeling movement without artificial restraints is what I've been clamouring for forever. Dying Light gets it quite right. Finally!
I'm still trying to get the keyboard and mouse controls set up to be comfortable, with mixed success.
I tried to open the back door of a shop to avoid some zombies and instead smashed a molotov against it.
The whole room was fire. The medkits were surprisingly effective at treating actively burning flesh considering that they are just gauze soaked in alcohol.

The worst thing with KBAM is using B to look back while sprinting. So you are holding Shift+W to run forward, and pressing B to look back. It is so awkward. I mean you can rebind it, but that is the silliest default binding.
So it looks like despite the late review code kerfuffle, the game is good?
Gee whiz that's a relief. I was really looking forward to this.
If I wasn't in the middle of Dragon Age Inquisition I'd grab it up immediately but the backlog looms.
The game is good but something is wrong with the rendering. It's not culling stuff behind objects or something like that. If you have low FPS looking in a direction and get behind a wall the FPS stays low. It seems like something they broke with a patch yesterday before release so hopefully it's addressed soon.

Supposedly near Rais you can find some guns but I dunno how far you need to progress the story.
Found some pistol ammo in a locked police van near so i was hoping to find a gun there. No dice but after making my way out to pickup EXPcalibur I did come across a german 9mm laying on the ground near a suicide victim.
Greetings Starfighter! You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada.
For those playing on the xbone, if you hold the right dpad it lets you go radial menu to select your weapons, which is a lot better than just sorting through them the normal way.
Anyone else playing with the companion ap? Its not terrible, I mean it doesn't add anything really but you can supposedly package up care stuff for yourself from the scouts and I did see a double barrel shotgun in there for what that's worth.
Really having fun with this.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Can craft as many as you have materials for. I find it kind of gimmicky given the bang for the bucks needed to upgrade. Nice to have one for burst damage on a sticky enemy.
Other then that, early level just use police baton with bleed or other orange weapon.

Picked up a pistol in the back of a police van while wandering about.

Well, hopefully by the time I'm done with DA:I it's been patched.
I was going to play some other games in my backlog but this game calls my name. I was half hoping it would be bad so I could skip it without remorse but alas :P

Yes, me too! I'm playing and loving Neo Scavenger, but a big patch for The Long Dark comes out next week, along with the release of Sunless Sea. I'm going to try REALLY hard to wait for a sale on this.

PS love this game..

Yup

Later tonight, I intend to use some air drops as a trap for them. My plan to defeat them involves gratuitous use of molotovs.
Actually, that is pretty much the whole plan.

It is a pretty good plan. People typically die from being set on fire.
Pfft. Weaklings!

I did not, and it doesn't seem to be available anymore.
This is still working for -25%
Anyone know if this works in Canada?
