Umm, I don't understand the sarcasm. But everyone knows I love me some Fallout, and nothing I said about Dead Island contradicts that so..yep..
Unless what you said was a joke and I didn't take it as such, then yep..I love it.

When I try online for Dead Island I may change my mind, but if you're playing solo it should be fine, even though this game is designed for co-op.

Storywise and characters, Dead Island is not close to the Fallout series. Both are similar in that you have to scrounge around for survival items/weapons/money to keep you alive longer.

Graphics, Dead Island looks a lot better than either Fallouts. Soundtrack, also goes to Dead Island.

Pace/movement for Fallout is pretty laid back. While Dead Island is not close to the CoDs, it is still frantic. Especially when the bigger enemies knock you down, the camera/screen view goes all over the place. Or when you're swarmed by a horde of the undead. Dead Island generates a nice level of fear throughout, so there's a good chance you'll panic and want to run the hell away a lot, which is not going to help your headaches.

With all that said, I'd hazard to guess that you probably wouldn't like this game. This due to the fact that I have friends who suffer that same motion sickness problem with fast paced shooter-type games.

I had to comment just because you said soundtrack goes to Dead Island. Don't listen to this guy..xD I won't even comment..

You may be. You should play it. As I said earlier as well, it's an okay game it's just not amazing (at least to me). One thing that people should understand about glitches is that they don't happen to everyone. The guy above had issues with both Fallouts and it ruined some of his view of it. Me? I had not a single glitch. Nor have I with Dead Island so far. It's always relative, no matter what, in gaming..

Quick note, should look at some reviews/videos too to help ya out. That's always helpful.

There are few issues that actually cause problems. Dead Island is better than fallout, just Imo.

Hahaha. I may have used the wrong word. I mean sound in general. The moans that came from every direction - even when you were locked in a room - it was creepy and very effective. The screams of the infected. The suiciders begging you to kill them. The sound of skulls cracking or arms being severed. The sound of a shock katana electrocuting an undead. Even the sounds of looting different objects. The music from Fallout was nice because a lot of it was classic, the only song I remember from Dead Island is that dumb rap by Sam B. at the beginning. Liam Neeson and Malcolm McDowell were pretty damn cool for Fallout. Still overall I liked Dead Island.

Don't get me wrong, I loved both Fallout games despite the freezing. It is one of my favourite franchises. I got the bobble-head from 3 sitting on my bookshelf!

I never played fallout but I platinum'd dead island and I can vouch the game isnt shit horrible. I actually wasn't sure what to expect when playing it but it's one of those games that you will either like alot or take back to gamestop the next day. I personally had fun with it for the simple fact that there was a talent system which looked like they stole it right out of world of warcraft, and you can craft some pretty cool weapons. All and all the game is sorda a mix between GTA and Resident evil 2, its an open world zombies games.

PC is the only one with motion sickness problems. It's because they didn't edit the FOV any from the console versions. PS3 is fine.

Im having alot of fun with dead Island playing online with Friends... About 10 hours played now and im having at lot more fun than i had with FO3.

Its probally because im playing with Friends... But so far im having great fun.

I luckily haven't had any issues with Dead Island yet bought the GOTY editon for 23.99 on PSN thought it was a good deal seeing as they wanted £35 for the normal edition on PSN

Dead Island is much closer to a 3D version of Diablo than it is to Fallout. The RPG aspect is minimal, as is any semblance of customization. The frantic motion and Point A to Point B questing isn't nearly up to the quality story work of Fallout.
