History NightmareFuel / DeadIsland

* One of the scariest parts of Banoi, is that the place was a hellhole even before the outbreak. What do we mean by that? The place was rife with crime, so bad the ''military'' had to be called in to supplement the police, the surrounding jungle was home to a tribe that practiced cannibalism (think back to the Fore people and Kuru) and saw women as nothing more than property, to the point Koritoia sold his ''own daughter'' to slavery by another man ''to settle a bet''. But what is the worst part about all of this, is the touch of TruthInTelevision about resort towns! Towns that thrive economically on tourism and crime. After learning this, [[FridgeHorror you're probably never going to see]] [[ParanoiaFuel your favorite or particular resort town the same way ever again]]...

* Early on you come across a man slumped in a literal pool of blood with floating, mangled corpses all around him. [[AdultFear Talking to him reveals he had to kill his wife, father, and brother in self-defense after they turned.]]

* Some of the zombies are rather disturbing. Specifically the Butcher, who has gnawed all the flesh from his arms and scraped the bones into crude blades with his teeth. [[SarcasmMode Nice]]

* Guess what? The virus is hinted at being caused by Kuru, right? That's not the NightmareFuel part. Kuru is a ''real'' disease, that's not it either. Kuru stems from cannibalism, even that's not the reason this counts. The real reason is that kuru really can turn people into zombies, the game only exaggerates it through the disease mutating. ''We could well be just one adaptation of the virus away from the events of the game.'' [[SarcasmMode You're welcome.]] Thankfully as of 2009, the disease has all but dropped off the face of the earth thanks to the Fore people of Papua New Guinea wising up and dropping the cannibalistic rituals that helped the disease to spread.

** While Kuru doesn't turn people into zombies, consider this, prion diseases (not just Kuru, but Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, Familial spongiform encephalopathy, and other prions only humans are affected with) have no actual treatment, they are a ''sure'' death sentence, it's just a matter of time. Meaning that someone that has a prion disease might be still alive, yet dead at the same time, just like zombies.

*** 3. The infected individual's existing symptoms, like ataxia, progress to the point where they are no longer capable of sitting without support. New symptoms also emerge: the individual develops dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, which can lead to severe malnutrition. They may also become incontinent, lose the ability or will to speak and become unresponsive to their surroundings, despite maintaining consciousness.

* Koritoia Ope, really, once you find the grisly details out. He ''worships'' the infected, regarding them as holy individuals who walk between the real world and the Dreamtime, and is then shown attempting to beat a girl to death because she's an "evil spirit". After he gets shot, he's made out to be even ''worse'': the girl in question? ''His own daughter''. Who also comments that she ran away from the tribe originally because he ''sold her to another man as a slave to pay off his gambling debts''. Plus, he's responsible for the initial outbreak of infected in the first place, by using his position as medicine man to make his people eat the brains of zombies, causing them to all be infected.

* Quarantine. Dear God Quarantine. It's a sealed off part of Moresby, designed to keep the sick away from the healthy. Unfortunately, it's also a place where Infected spawn every fifteen seconds, essentially making it the deadliest place on the island. You only have to go there during ''The Third Head Of Cerberus'' quest, but it's terrifying. You get ambushed by horde after horde of infected, and any solo player will most likely die within thirty seconds of entering the zone.

* Morseby in general.
* The thugs don't chase you. Practically every other zombie will, but not the thugs. It's as if they're saying "You're dead anyways, so why should I waste my time chasing you? I'm stronger than you are anyways."

*** And that some Infected make a dying sound like a crying baby. Thanks, Dead Island, [[SarcasmMode I really was finding it way too easy to sleep]] [[AdultFear before you did that]].
*** No mention of the Suicider zombies? Those things are basically more ghoulish versions of [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Boomers.]] Instead of spreading bile on you, they explode on you, and while the Boomer only leaves behind its lower torso and legs upon death, this thing leaves behind its legs, lower torso... and its bloodly mangled upper skeleton.

** Outrunning most of the zombie types are fairly easy. Outrunning infected can be nerve-wrecking. Unlike the others, they don't stop coming after you until you reach a safe house or area. And how fast and how long you can run from the infected depend on your stamina. And you have low stamina.

** Early on you come across a man slumped in a literal pool of blood with floating, mangled corpses all around him. [[AdultFear Talking to him reveals he had to kill his wife, father, and brother in self-defense after they turned.]]
** Playing in a dark room at night with a Turtle Beach headset is probably something that should not be done if you ever plan on sleeping. It is ParanoiaFuel incarnate.
* Hasn't anyone posted the game menu soundtrack? Just listen to this, and don't feel creeped out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgUWNIq33sA&feature=related Just imagine walking around in the destroyed and ravished cities Zombie Apocalypses bring!

** The novelisation makes him even worse by filling in the blanks the game left: the first zombies? They were men he had ''beat and rape his daughter'' when she came back to the tribe to try and make peace with him. They caught the disease from her, then he had her sealed up in the tombs to starve to death because he blamed the "immortals'" comparative mindlessness on her "being an evil spirit".

** This can easily become a CrowningMomentOfAwesome if you can find a spot where you can climb up on a car, bin, etc. Those thirty or so Infected screaming? They become enraged even further if they can't get to you or knock you off with a lucky shot. You can hit them though with anything throwable, a gun, or even a melee weapon the length of a sickle or longer. This is your chance to show the couple in ''Riptide's'' trailer how it's done.

!!Dead Island Riptide
* In the ending, [[spoiler: the survivors who decide to stay and wait for rescue on Palanai were last seen getting overrun by the zombies. After the heroes and the other survivors escape the island on a boat, the boat was last seen six days later drifting towards another island with no one on deck. And as the camera zooms towards the cabin's door, a growl can be heard and the door knob turns from the inside but it cuts to black and "The End" pops up before it reveals the fate of everyone but it's implied that the five immune heroes turned into zombies and killed the other survivors.]]
* The grenadiers, dear god the grenadiers. These new infected that ''' RIP OFF THEIR OWN GODDAMN TUMOROUS SKIN AND THROW IT AT YOU!'''
* The trailer pulls this off with the image of a couple who become shipwrecked, zombies are closing in and their only choice is to kill themselves before they become infected.
* No need to play the game for a dose of NightmareFuel. The ''Zombie Bait'' edition included a little something...if you needed something to stop you from sleeping [[http://cache.g4tv.com/ImageDb3/315899_S/dead-island-riptide-zombie-bait-edition-is-gross-and-alarming.jpg this should do the job nicely.]]
* The cover is bad enough but this is one that earns it's R rating, even the screen of it on the XBOX dashboard is disturbing.
* ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'' was cited as being disturbingly close to a American invasion to hit home for those in the United States. Well despite it's fictional setting Palanai resembles Australia, particularly up in Queensland, which can add a dose of ParanoiaFuel.
* The new Dead Zones are something like the abandoned houses in the first game, except the exterior and interior take the form of either a Vietnamese concentration camp with lynched bodies strung up or voodoo caves (as well as shrines dotted about the island) that would give Baron Samedi the heebee jeebies. Once you're done in them you'd be well forgiven for wanting to GTFO.
* John Morgan's personal recordings where he recalls air support bombing villages in lieu of the outbreak, the chain of command going to hell, a zombie woman '''''eating her own child''''' and his superior's answer to what to do about the infected [[KillEmAll if the orders need to be spelled out for him.]]
* As the game progresses your character becomes more and more of a BloodKnight. Well when some criminals try to kill and rob them they completely and utterly lose their shit, flying into an UnstoppableRage. The Infected, who are permanently locked in this mode? That's who you're playing as. When your character snaps out of it they are freaked, it turns out the [[LimitBreak Fury mode]] is just that, a combination of ice, psychosis, and roid rage, and they're scared it'll happen again.
