Looks pretty. Hope State of Decay isn't too consolized, will probably play it. I like the emphasys on sheltering. Hope they keep that for Class4.
Can't see Class4 happening anytime soon though
Any release date for State of Decay yet?
ya remember how everyone complained about your pals in GTA4 always asking you to go bowling and shit constantly, well State of Decay is just like this, except its a chore to play. You constantly are running all over the fucking map saving your retarded team, finding goods because they use them all, or clearing out constant infections. They constantly call you on the radio all hours of the day begging for help. God forbid you dont help them because you are busy and theyll just up and die. I purchased this on the console when it came out hoping for a great sp game. I was quite frustrated at not only this, but the pop ups from the game not loading fast enough causing you to run into invisible items before they loaded, also similar to GTA. Maybe modding will make this game better, but i wouldnt bank on it, it held my attention long enough to get about 12hrs out of me, and i gave up. The game plays out similar to the new GTA5 with not having a main character to play, but allowing you to play any of the characters you befriend.
Problems with the game in a nutshell:
-
Menu is a absolute mess-I didnt realize you could have special moves like a wrestler until about 10hrs in, no idea i had even unlocked them
-No tutorial, literally just drops you in and says good luck, doesnt explain what things do whatsoever
-you're constantly solo unless going on a mission with someone, which in some cases would be helpful
-if you switch bases, everything you built is lost, even upon going back you restart over, at one point i had a mission to switch bases which i did not want to do, and lost everything i built earlier
-
your ai team are constantly calling for help, literally falling off of roofs or overrun with zombies every 20 mins to the point you just stop helping them, and then they die-
If you have too many goods, they just disappear-
you can outdrive how quickly the game loads-i shot like 6 teammates already because they were infected, idk how they became infected as they werent doing anything, needless to say you walk them off to some place and blow their head off
-People have disagreements within your camp like every 40mins and you need to take them on dates to calm them down
-Doesnt explain at all how the enclaves work, or how you make them like you, i still dont understand how they work
-whenever you are trying to clear a house, a single zombie will be in the area and stop your clearing constantly, like you will kill 100 zombies in the area, though the house only had 3 residents because they wonder in the whole time
-you run out of ammunition incredibly quickly, and all your melee items break after hitting like 10 zombies, its a metal pipe ffs, how does that break?
-outposts seem near pointless
-zombies climb over your barbed wire fortress and attack you and your people in the compound
-you will get some random mission that forces you to drive for like 20mins to the far reaches of the map for something pointless like a squeaky toy
-zombie originality is phenomenal, a fast jumpy zombie, a fat tough zombie, a screeching zombie, etc
-once you take items in the game, thats it, they are gone forever, eventually you run out, so if you spend more time exploring then playing the game, you will run out of food, medicine, ammunition, etc
-stealth option is limited
-constantly switching characters because one becomes tired, or is injured.
Im sure there is more, i cant think of everything at the moment. The major annoyances are in bold.
The only thing i truly enjoyed about the game was the really fast zombie guys, they are awesome, scary as can be when they run you down, that and the possible perma death. Anyways i wouldnt recommend this game, its a shit filled gem, pretty on the outside, feces on the inside.
