So I finally finished DI after about 90-hours of play. The ending was kind of disappointing IMO (spoiler alert)
The final 'boss battle' was easier than many of the tougher creaturers already encountered e.g. the RAM, the floaters and even the thugs. In fact the 'boss' was a glorified thug who ran around like one of the maniacal, screaming infected. He didn't even have a weapon. So with loads of ammo you have to just keep spraying him with bullets, getting knocked out, rinse and repeat. After a few such cycles, it finally succumbs, you get on a helicopter and fly off to a ship with your virtual playmates. The end.
Anyway I started into the sequel, DI Riptide. It almost overwhelmed my meagre gpu and ran in slomo until I dialed down all settings, and resolution to 1440x900. Loads more detail and taxing fx. In general apart from a protracted initial shibboard battle, it feels like a polished clone of the original, same characters, same island, same zombies. In fact based on that initial shipboard battle, I was hoping it was going to an all-guns-all-the-time kind of game, which would be really different from slowly building a cache of suitable weapons. But that was not to be...
