* SequelDifficultyDrop: There are some things that make the game a little less frustrating compared to the first one. Alcohol, for example, is no longer equipped when you grab it. You can also carry much more of them, along with medkits, since they now have their own inventory space, freeing up your limited slots for actual weapons. Guns are deadlier on the undead, along with more ammo scattered throughout especially in Henderson, and nail guns/harpoon guns have retrievable ammo, provided they're still in an area you can grab them from. Vehicles will also kill zombies much faster in this game compared to the first one, where you generally had to be moving fairly fast to one-hit kill them.
* SequelDifficultySpike: This game is a little bit harder than the first one for a couple of reasons. Zombies are slightly smarter, and you generally face off against 3-8 of them regularly. EliteZombie will usually also be accompanied by regular ones, which makes fighting them much more difficult compared to the first game. And they still hit hard as well...

* GoodBadBugs: Like the game before it, Riptide has a sweet weapon duplication glitch. Fill up your quick inventory with weapons, then drop the one you want to dupe. Equip your fists and hold the item pickup button and deposit it into Henry Boyle’s storage and take it out again. You can now drop the weapon you’re holding as many times as you want, for backup uses or just to sell them for easy money. Enjoy.
** [[EliteMook Grenadiers]] are pretty nasty opponents at long range, but they have one crippling weakness. For some reason, if you get into melee range with them, they will completely stop attacking you and just stare menancingly at your weapon meeting their face. This lack of retaliation almost pushes them into being [[FakeUltimateMook Fake Ultimate Mooks]].

The Zombie Bait issue is, honestly, one of the stories of 2013, and there are differing views on it so it\'s worth addressing without slamming Deep Silver and Techland for the idea.

The ''Zombie Bait'' edition which included a woman's torso; ''just the torso,'' was also mixed, with some seeing it as a worthy collectors edition, others seeing it cheesy, and still more thinking, "What the hell is that?

an \"alienating premise\" would mean that the game didn\'t sell well on the basis of the entire plot being off-putting, but that\'s not the case here- a trailer and poorly done item in a collectors edition alone are not enough for this game to qualify for this trope, especially since it actually has sold pretty well, the backlash for the trailer was mainly in Australia and that didn\'t affect sales much anyways.
