State of Decay - Upcoming zombie MMO for consoles & PC

[shootemindehead]

It's decent enough for a tenner. But there's so many jaggies on the screen. It's irritating, given the ability to eliminate it, you know. I'm enjoying it despite the criticism and I hope the lads do well, make a few bob and can make more for it.

That area in the North East, the one with the gas station, mart, a dinosaur and two houses behind them would have been a good location for a base.

The game is currently on sale for 1/2 off on XBL and so is another game called, How to Survive.

ya beat me to it, slick. 10 dollars for this gem is a f*cking steal, folks. i've not really heard much about "how to survive", but reviews aren't too positive and my back catalog is getting nuts with all these free games and games on sale lately, so i'm gonna pass on that one.

I got a new graphics card for Christmas (HD 7870) and it's certainly sharpened up the visuals on this game! It's still a generation behind graphically but it looks far better on my rig now than it did before, mainly down to anti-aliasing etc been turned right up.

Well a 7870xt (tahiti)...

new dlc coming soon, will include a new area to explore! http://undeadlabs.com/2014/02/news/throw-me-a-lifeline/ still haven't got around to really messing with the breakdown dlc that much yet, gta 5 has really taken all of my gaming attention this winter and fall. i do plan to put some time into it eventually, looks like i'll have to get around to that sooner rather than later in order to be ready for more SoD goodness once this new content is released. a new area to explore sounds great! really excited about this....

[shootemindehead]

Cool. It's been a couple of months since I fired up the game. I suppose everyone is probably brown bread...

Yeh, the breakdown DLC just didn't appeal to me. But a whole new map does! Just as long as it has lots of simple things to find/explore! The original map was spoiled a bit by the fact it was huge, but if you went off the roads into the wilderness, there was nothing really there to find/explore! The new map needs lots of small simple things to find/explorer to make the map/world more interesting!

I suppose everyone is probably brown bread... yeah, that's a real bitch that things progress when you're away. they say that after 2 or 3 days away it really slows down, but things still do happen when you're offline....which is total bullshit. i had a community started recently and had 4 playable characters, one of who was sick when i shut the game off. i come back a handful of days later and the sick dude has died, another guy is missing, essentially cutting my manpower down by 50%....and i didn't do a f*cking thing to warrant it (other than not play the game round the clock.) total crap.

Yeh, don't understand this approach? Why should it be different if I next play the game later the same day, or next year? Why penalise me?

[shootemindehead]

It's fine if you play every day and when I was, I liked having to restock. But I've not fired up the game since I "beat" it before Christmas. In situations like that, it would be good if you could turn that "feature" off.

So west of the church is a house, and in my latest game it was a enclave for three survivors. It was night time, I went in and grabbed a few bullets, I then ran two meters from the storage cabinet when I was swarmed by zombies and the two survivors I saw just seconds earlier in the house didn't help, they couldn't because the call came in that my group had spotted a survivor, a scavenger... Sods law.

new dlc coming out this week, looks like a ton of fun!

[shootemindehead]

I'm in.
