The game is good, but why must I connect to Epic Games? I bought the game on Steam, not Epic Games.

Make sure the Epic Store program is uninstalled then do this: Before launching the game for the first time, go there -> "C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dead Island 2" and delete the EpicGameLauncher folder. Then open the "DeadIsland.ini" file in notepad and modify the "NoOperation=0" to "NoOperation=1" If the epic game launcher is already installed on your computer, uninstall it before doing the steps above. Play the game without that bloatware = ez (it will still try to connect the accounts every time you launch the game - just press CANCEL) But for going through loops and forcing us to install software that the developer SPECIFICALLY said that WON'T be necessary to play, I give you thumbs down.Show moreShow less
- X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dead Island 2, delete the EpicOnlineServices folder - Open the "DeadIsland.ini" file change "NoOperation=0" to "NoOperation=1" F you epic games :-)Show moreShow less
BEFORE YOU LAUNCH Go to -> "X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dead Island 2" and delete the EpicOnlineServices folder. Then open the "DeadIsland.ini" file in notepad and modify the "NoOperation=0" to "NoOperation=1" This will help you avoid running Epic's malware that pulls data about you. Although when you launch the game it will still bootstrap run EpicOnlineServices so here's a negative review. If you run Netlimiter or such you can block the network traffic. So annoying.Show moreShow less
Worth the wait rather than getting it from Epic GamesShow moreShow less
It needs Epic's trash installed. Don't link your accounts, the game will be unplayable because of it. (can't connect to epic services) Wow.... Good job Epic! I wonder why people hate your "services".Show moreShow less
I waited a year to play this game on Steam, just so I didn't have to give Epic Games money. 10/10 would wait again. Edit: After 4 hours of playing I can say I really enjoy it. Game is super fun. Honestly I didn't experience any issues at all. But I know a lot of people have problems with Epic Online Services. What I can recommend is to NOT LINK your Epic Games account with your Steam account (it might cause an endless loop of "Connecting to Epic Online Services"). For those that already linked accounts, head to Epic Games > Apps and accounts and press to unlink your Steam. Epic Online Services are only necessary for crossplay so you don't need it at all if you want to play solo or with your Steam friends.Show moreShow less
Sitting here waiting like a clown while "Connecting to Epic Services..." 5 mins later have to force quit game. Now select "Do not connect to Connect to Epic Services." Thanks Epic, another great game ruined. *slow clap*Show moreShow less
Fun, gory zombie brawler with solid visuals and satisfying combat. The story is weak, the gameplay is repetitive and can get boring fast. Worth a play if you enjoy open-world zombie chaos, just don’t expect a game-changer but it is a good way to pass the time. P.S.: The main story felt short and ended out of nowhere, especially just when it seemed things were getting good! 🎚️ Difficulty 🔲 My grandma could play it 🔲 Easy ☑️ Normal 🔲 Hard 🔲 A challenge to be reckoned 🔲 In the heat of confrontation, (Only PVP games) 🗺️ Graphics 🔲 MS Paint 🔲 Bad 🔲 Meh 🔲 Normal ☑️ Very Good 🔲 An original artistic direction 🔲 Beautiful 🔲 Masterpiece 📚 Story 🔲 This game has no story 🔲 Basic element of the contractual requirements ☑️ It's there for people who want it 🔲 Well written 🔲 Leading to more in-depth researches/thoughts 🔲 A model to get inspired by ⌛️ Length 🔲 0 (No story) 🔲 Short ☑️ Average 🔲 Long 🔲 To infinity and beyond 🎶 Music 🔲 Just filling noises/No music 🔲 Trivial and uneventful ☑️ Good and/or fitting the game's artistic dispositions 🔲 Memorable 🔲 Transcending whispers of a forgotten world 🕹️ Interest 🔲 I would rather watch paint dry 🔲 Hard to enjoy ☑️ Repetitive and/or uninspired ☑️ A good moment 🔲 Sticking out of the pack 🔲 You will remember it long after 🔁 Replayability 🔲 A one-time experience ☑️ For achievements 🔲 If you wait a few months/years (or with mods) ☑️ Definitely (Try different slayers/cards.) 🔲 Infinitely replayable (or almost) 🐛 Bugs ☑️ Never heard of 🔲 Minor bugs 🔲 Can get annoying 🔲 Impacts the player's experience badly 🔲 The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ⚙️ Requirements 🔲 You can run it on a microwave 🔲 Low ☑️ Average ☑️ High (-ish!) 🔲 NASA computer 💰 Price 🔲 Free 🔲 Underpriced 🔲 Perfect Price ☑️ Could be cheaper 🔲 Overpriced 🔲 Complete waste of money 🤑 Worth Buying 🔲 No 🔲 If you have nothing else to play ☑️ Wait for sale 🔲 Yes 🎯 Expectations 🔲 It's a completely different game 🔲 This game is a scam 🔲 It's missing many features they announced ☑️ Looks very similar to the steam page 🔲 Better than expected and/or announced 🔲 Masterpiece, no patch or feature has to be added. ✒️ Final Rating 🔲 1 🔲 2 🔲 3 🔲 4 🔲 5 ☑️ 6 🔲 7 🔲 8 🔲 9 🔲 10 Thank you for taking the time to read and think about this review.Show moreShow less
Developers, don't try to push e-pig services to my computer let alone puting in the game. There's a reason why it's not installed. Not only the game comes with the installer file already when you say no to installer and delete the file and boot the game it also puts up a notification on your screen. This is bad practice. Instead of integrating showelware you could have invested in a interface designer.Show moreShow less
