Fuck off, next thing we'll see is a bunch of people moaning about that 'Injustice: Gods Among Us' collectors statue.
Y IS TEH BUTTMAN STRANGLING WONDER DERP, IT SHULD BE TEH OTHER WAY AROUND.
I'm not saying the reason for the backlash is due to the statue (Dead Island) being female, but it's a gorey game, in a holiday-esque environment, there's stuff like this in the game. If you don't like it then don't buy it, pretty clear cut to me.

Meh. I thought the statue looked a bit tasteless, but nothing to really complain about.
Personally, I reckon some of the *Ahem* younger gamers went and asked their parents to buy it them, and it's the parents who took offence. Which is completely invalid, as their kids shouldn't be playing it anyway.
...But if the big fat quiz can get complaints for not being 'child-friendly' despite being shown after the watershed, nothing surprises me anymore. |

| Just another case of people bitching about something they don't like and ruining for the collectors and people who actually want this unique item, if you don't like it don't buy it. It has the disclaimer for a reason I guess you can't have decent collectibles in video games because they are too offensive now might as well just quit making collecters editions to appease the minority that complain about things like these. I am gonna be offended by the people being offended by little things like this from now on. I'm sick of people bitching about the little things. |

Truly shows how petty human beings are, "Oh no a female torso I must write a letter and complain to someone even though I was never going to buy it and don't even know what it's about"
So a guys torso would have been fine? don't bet on it lol

| Only just seen the disclaimer, it says it may cause offence, so anyone who gets offended can't get up on their high horse about it because they were made aware and still looked, possibly only looked to see if they would get offended and when they did they complained about it. Why are you even apologising if you have this? it has kept South Park going for years anyone who gets offended is just a pussy and has no legal or moral high ground to stand on |

I'm willing to bet that anyone who says "wouldn't be a problem if it was a mans torso, stupid feminists blah blah" would be the sort of people who would probably be saying "HURR DURR That's such a gay statue, not buying that lol" if it was actually a male torso.
Whilst it's not offensive to me, it's typical pandering to the male videogame playing consumers. Fact of the matter is it's a terrible statue anyway, and should never have been even considered to be used as part of a collectors edition, unless you wanted to court publicity for a (on of the basis of the first game anyway) a mediocre game which probably won't sell anyway. |

@39, I can't speak for everyone else but I am completely secure about my sexuality, thus if it were indeed a man's torso that was cut up as a statue, I would regard it with the same consumer eye as I do this one.
I think the whole matter here is a lot different than just pandering to male videogamers (which I must admit, this statue does seem to be doing to a certain degree), it's an issue that extends far beyond this simple statue matter, and into feminism, political correctness, and social sensitivity. Basically all the issues nobody wants to talk about.

OT: Seriously guys, all of you bitching about it, were you even going to buy this shitty game anyway? You say "Oh those damn feminists taking away our Collector's Edition, they shouldn't even be concerned because they aren't buying this". Most of you are missing the entire point of this but I guess I can't expect the x360a community to have enough intelligence to understand that though.

Look forward this game so much and it is one of my most look forward of 35 important games this year. Cannot wait to play with my friend and work together through lots of quests, undergrounds, exploring around to killing stuffs to leveling up etc... Loved it just like we did whole Dead Island.
Collector's Edition look okay. I planned to preorder Bioshock Infinite and other game for collector's edition. I don't get every collector's edition for big games release like that but I alway get some every years though.
Dead Island fans will love this bras statue. Hehehe |

There wouldn't be any issue tbh if they had kept the head on, it'd of been something to look at then and something more likely to put up, but it's the fact that al there is to look at are boobs that's caused issues with people, and most likely allot of feminists.
It would of been a decent statue if it had the head, if it was male, then just the torso would of been rather boring to look at without the head. There's no sense of horror, no danger from it, just nothing to make you want it unless you want a torso like that :/
They should see about revising it to include the head, maybe an arm, but keep one of the arms missing. |

Pussies!! Should have stood behind your product.
It was all a marketing scheme anyways. It did what it was suppose to do and that's get people to talk about it.
I bet most people who complained still watch things like Piranha and BS like that. SAME THING!! |

| Some people need to stop moaning. This is one of the best and most original special editions i've ever seen. I bet most of the complaints came from jealous Yanks. Get a grip peeps. |

So people are complaining because of tits? Don't buy it if you don't like boobs. If you're gay, that's fine. This edition is obviously not for you, so you don't need to get your knickers in a twist. If you just want to spout shit about it being sexist, then bugger off because no-one cares and it obviously wasn't meant to offend you people.
If you're a feminist, put down the signs. How did you manage to find all the materials needed to make them from the kitchen, anyway?
I let my fiancée see the statue, and she didn't get up in arms about it. She thought it was quite cool. Then she toddled off to make me dinner. |

| If it's just about it being exclusive to the UK and Australia, get a grip. Isn't it fair that we finally get something for ourselves? The U.S gets all of the contests, the "niche" games, games earlier in the week, better editions of the games, etc. Don't you think that for once, we should be allowed this stuff? |

Ppl saying "it's just a statue" must be morons. The statue is obviously invoking sexist and rape imagery. More the rape imagery then, "oh boobs." If you do not know what that is or why it could be offensive, then you either did not go to college or apart of the problem with this mentality of hate towards women. So much so, that you can't even see the other side of the argument. Whats wrong with a zombie statue that isn't a brutalized skin clad woman, that is called bait? Poor taste Deep Silver, and just wrong.
The issue is not one of "hey its has boobs," the issue is that it has subliminal messaging and allusions toward the rape of women. Women are the most effected demographic of violent sexual crime. Why do I have to explain this? |

@87 - No it doesn't. It's a statue of a headless woman. What would you say if it was a headless guy? "Oh, well as the rape of men isn't as widely reported, it doesn't mean anything".
If you want to take this as subliminal messaging, then that's your own problem. I'd suggest not listening to any Judas Priest, as you may start thinking they're asking you to kill somebody. |

| @7 I was just about to say the same thing. I would totally buy that if it was the North America edition. It looks way more awesome than the Suitcase we get. If you don't want a busty, bloody torso, then don't by the Zombie Bait edition. |

| You'd think they'd get their **** together after all the crap they took for Dead Island with the "Feminist Whore" skill in the dev phase and not even putting underwear on one of the female character models. |

They should be apologising for it being so crappy, not for causing "offence".

| We talked about this is my Greek literature class today. Yes. Greek fucking literature. Our GSI connected it to what Plato said about how the things surrounding us can affect how we act. In other words, we had that dumb discussion on whether or not violent video games cause violence in humans. And I was the one who probably sounded like a madman because I was defending them and saying that video games have nothing to do with violent tendencies. While I think they could have come up with something less... vulgar, people who raised a huge deal over this are just stupid. Same with the people who destroyed violent video games in outrage over the school shooting. This all happens because self-righteous parents complain that this sort of stuff harms their kid, makes them violent, etc. when in actuality they are the ones who allowed their kid to play it in the first place. It's the parents job to determine what games their children play; not the kids, not the game companies, THEM. And those who bitch about the violence of video games are just hypocrites. |

| I wish they bundle up the Zombie Bait statue with the US Rigor Mortis Edition together. I would of gladly paid $129.99 for it. *sad face* I feel like Deep Silver is cutting out. I mean why do game companies make each continent have something different (ex: Injustice God Among Us, Euro status vs NA statue). Rather than have the consumer choose "what they want" edition to purchase. |

| @87 If you look at that statue and think of rape then you have some setups issues. Go and see a shrink you weirdo. |

| Developers need to quit apologizing for every little thing they do. It shouldnt be up to people who just want to criticize to make decisions for you. Im not saying ignore the fans. Im just saying fuck the haters. Seriously grow a pair and back up your decisions. Like anything else in reality it doesnt matter what people think of you. |

Who wants to place bets it wasnt the actual players who found this offensive.
