I'm playing through this now thanks to GamePass. I was expecting more tbh from the good reviews. The graphics are fantastic but the gameplay kind of leaves a lot of be desired.

How far into it are you? Cause I know I played it completely differently at the start then now.

I have the last main mission to do, and have had to go back because I had 0 of all side missions. Which are giving me better weapons tbh.

The cards help a bit, but those screamers are bullshit. The curveballs aside from 1 or 2 are pretty bad.

I don't find the guns particularly engaging either, and the elemental blueprints aren't really game changing or visually effective. I think if it wasn't for co op I would have put it down a while ago

to each of their own, I liked the game a lot. I hope for new tools of destruction and enemies in larger numbers, I was way too OP for HAUS and I've had way better gear from the main game than anything I could find there

Interesting, I did all the side missions before moving on with the story, and had a bunch of legendary weapons before even finishing the story; those plus flying kick, block counters, ground pound and rage basically just make me rip and tear through all enemies, I almost only use guns to stop screamers from screaming.
At the start I was being much more careful.

DI2 was awesome!

Just balls to the walls fun from start to finish. Loved Haus and looking forward to this.

i like dead island 2 but the games not good enough to pay 30$ for dlc

 

[Mossybrew]

Thanks for the heads-up OP, I'm down for more of this game.

 

[TheUsual]

Definitely ready for this DLC. Just finished up Haus this past weekend and ready to go.

Well, that was fun. Maybe except for one really annoying new enemy and the final boss being its version on steroids. The environment design is nice and I almost forgot how good all the element simulated chain reaction carnage can be, I hope they're making a sequel to double down on that. But overall this DLC really is more of the same, worth checking out if you liked the campaign

I'd say around 3,5 hours to 100% everything with plenty of fucking about

 

[rkofan87]

is this the last dlc?

 

[JayK47]

This is supposedly coming to Steam in a few days. I wonder if the DLC will be available right away.
