Added DiffLines:

* ObviousBeta: The initial Steam release turned out to be a ''late development debug build'', complete with built-in noclip key. The patch was released and -Hey Presto!- In-game load times got cranked up, the pre-order DLC isn't working, and savegames from the initial release don't work.

Not YMMV tropes


* EmotionalTorque: The trailers, amazing as they are, actually received backlash for playing on emotions with something that hardly portrayed the actual game but by god they challenge you not to go into a smoking drinking depressive funk.



* TheFaceless: And Nameless, the character in the opening who wanders around meeting all the actual protagonists, however it is implied they are the person you hear getting attacked when you start playing.

TRS cleanup


* UncannyValley:
** Living characters don't move naturally at all, lip sync is usually off, and the survivors tend to have a blank stare in cutscenes that gets more disturbing the more you look at it.
** {{NPC}}s have a disturbing tendency to have bodies that don't match their faces, either because of drastically different skin tones that may be caused by the lighting or because of having the exact same, young female body with an elderly face.
* UnfortunateImplications: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Apparently]], one of the programmers had [[http://kotaku.com/5838387/dead-island-maker-gives-leading-lady-a-feminist-whore-skill weird opinions.]] Purna has a mid-range Combat talent in her tree called "Gender Wars" that gives her a flat damage bonus to enemies of the opposite sex, which happens to include [[GameBreaker most of the enemies on the island]]. If you dig down into the game's code, this talent is referred to as "Feminist Whore." Someone found this and promptly posted about it on the Steam forums, prompting a speedy reaction from Deep Silver; they denied any intentional maliciousness on the part of the company and publisher and noted that it was the work of a lone rogue programmer.

Added DiffLines:

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Xian Mei and Sam B seem to befit this role, as the former becomes a supporting character in ''VideoGame/EscapeDeadIsland'', canonizing her survival, while her and Sam B also return in ''Dead Island: Survivors'' with stylized makeovers and a big deal made of it in marketing. Sam B's famous "[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Who Do You Voodoo, Bitch?]]" is also a reason to love him, to the point where Techland gave him some love with a reference in ''VideoGame/DyingLight2StayHuman''.

* AnticlimaxBoss: On the initial release, after the enormous amount of build-up he gets, the mass murderer known as the Butcher of Banoi turns out to be the same as a regular {{Mook}} and goes down in just one or two hits. This gets remedied in later patches, on par with a special zombie like a [[GiantMook Thug]] or [[LightningBruiser Butcher]].
