With a rough launch and issues still needing to be addressed on multiple platforms, it might be a while before we get to play add-on content for Dead Island.
"Right now the Dead Island development team's priority is working on fixes and updates across all platforms so that we can take care of all of the fans who have been so supportive of our game," a spokesperson for Deep Silver told Kotaku. "There is some awesome DLC content planned for Dead Island, but first we have to put all our focus on the base game experience."
No arguments here, and based on past complaints when the opposite path is taken by a studio, I assume you guys are okay with getting a working game before the extras come as well.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Just don't look at your shadow. You'll have nightmares for life.
In all seriousness, major kudos to them for taking care of their customers, they may have just gained one...
This game made me push Deus Ex aside but I am glad to hear this! I was only hit with the no save bug once and lost 2hrs of game play but the way I see it is I get to spend and extra 2hrs with this game, lol.
also i'm having lots of fun on PC, no bugs!
Don't get me wrong, it's cool that they ARE prioritising fixes. But it's a double edged sword - it shouldn't have been SO glitchy in the first place.
Wag of the finger for a company releasing a product after a 5 1/2 year production cycle and still having silly bugs like instant zombie teleport about face.
Do you really want to play with a bunch of people who have duped up infinite money and high level gear? Hell might as well go play Diablo 2.
I have been playing all offline with analog controls and its a fuckin blast! Brutally difficult, but a fuckin blast.
I can't wait til the online and save issues get worked out on the PS3. Thank you Techland.
I've put in nearly 80 hours now on PC. Awesome singleplayer, awesome multiplayer.
I could even say better to release a buggy game and put your team to fix it right than to delay the game as a user this way people can play the game erlier and will even more bug free game than most after a while.
Well ... couldnt agree more.
This story is actually a Captain Obvious moment, but, as someone who's been screwed too many times lately, it's nice to hear once in a while.
No patch for PS3 yet and don't worry cause anytime I play while PSN is connected it doesn't save any of my game so I always disable the connection before I play anyway. Even still, the autosave is pretty broken but a lot better when offline. To be safe I don't trust any autosave that doesn't occur after completing a mission or when taking one, those seem to be the only ones that work. Oh also, when you reload a save or previous checkpoint it seems to teleport me to me tracked destination.
Annnnnnd...... This game fucking rules.
Also, I gotta say that the analog controls and single player combo make this game scary as all hell. Not to mention those fucking infected....I hate those things getinthefuckingtruckandDRIIIIIVVEEE!!
I've probably put 40 hours into this and I've run into two bugs. Two. Seriously people, New Vegas this is not. Also a developer focusing on fixing their game BEFORE DLC?!
*Faints*
Running over Floaters in a truck = good times!
With the way some recent releases have gone, they're gonna have to pack a whole ton of bonus features with preorders for me to care about buying a game day one.
The game IS a freakin' blast!
