State of Decay

This is an Xbox 360 game BUT it is great fun. BTW this game game out Wednesday, June 5th, 2013.

Gunna try and not spoil anything because there is somewhat of a storyline:

Essentially its an open world survival/rpg type zombie game. You start off with one character and need to figure out what the fuck is going on. Once you get your bearings straight and some decent supplies built up. You are able to move into a shelter. Once settled down into a base, you have a number of responsibilities. You have four main resources you need to maintain, Food, Ammo, Materials, and Fuel. Now the main ones are the first three, fuel is not used for cars but for creating things such as flamebombs/traps etc. Food is obvious that you need to maintain hunger, which is based on the number of survivors you have. So say you have four survivors and ten rations of food. Everyday those rations will go down by four. For ammo it depends on how many people you may have or if you have a watchtower built (get into buildings in a second). Materials are used for maintaining repairs and building facilities/upgrading them. How that works is in your building menu you have building squares where you can put buildings. You have a set number of building squares, which depends on how big your base is. (You are able to choose where you want to set up base and  that will depend on if you have the requirements to stay there). Some of those buildings include a watchtower, which puts a survivor on guard duty and shoots any zombies that come into the area of the base. Sleeping quarters to prevent sleep deprivation and gives beds to the population, and many more. Now you will get more survivors, whether you randomly meet them, save them,  encounter them on a mission, or they come seeking shelter at your base. Each character has their own unique traits/attributes. If the person liked to do something athletic such as hike, they will get a bonus in stamina. They could also have a unique attribute such as a doctor which helps with hurt/sick people. For basic stats you have things like, cardio, fighting, leadership, etc. You can increase these by simply running, fighting, and doing missions with other survivors. There are many missions to save other survivors, deal with infestations, look for supplies, deal with bandits, etc etc.

I dont see your thread anywhere :P

The rotter you cant get anywhere near it without it blowing, and you dont want to shoot it and attract every fucking zombie in the area.

But overall I fucking love this game

I've never even really used my xbox 360, but looks like I'll be playing this tonight  :mrgreen:

Thanks for the heads up, this is what I've been waiting for in a zombie survival game.

Well I love both Zombie and Survival type of games, this seems to be a great mold of both.  It's piqued my interests enough to plop down 20 or 30 bucks to give it a try.  guess I won't be playing crpg for a while

Definitely. I found out the hard way too lol. I had to do it twice to notice it blew out the tires. That truck went so damn slow.. I abandoned it sadly. I liked it. Found another one so its all good.

Ferals are the only thing I fear in the game. Even the juggernauts can be avoided easily since they're pretty slow. Ferals just fuck your shit up. The first survivor I lost was to a feral that just mauled her. Felt bad since I had JUST rescued her from another spot then she gets mauled.

Played 3 hours so far and have really enjoyed it.  made it through one night, picked up a survivor and quite a bit of good supplies and cleared out a camp ground area.

One thing I don't like is that right at the beginning is says it's a simulated world, but once I cleared out the camp ground area, zombies were still all over the place.  Granted not right next to my safe house they weren't randomly spawning in, but it seemed like they were being randomly spawned in areas I had already thoroughly cleared.

had to setup my xbox live account and update, took about 30 minutes to purchase the game for me and then maybe an hour to download.

And yes, I still really enjoy playing crpg and fighting in strat battles.

No it was just into the next morning.  It probably took me about 2 hours, wasn't playing the entire 3 hours.  I ended up clearing out everything but didn't find the survivor to initiate the next sequence of events...so I ended up walking around the entire outside of the allowable map (without leaving and going into town). 

Once you get into the actual town it's much better and more open ended.

So I caved and bought it after playing the trial. Quite fun so far. Really love the tense-ness of it. Just knowing that death is a real threat and you can't just re-load or some such thing.
I'm rock, nerf paper, scissors is fine. Welcome to c-RPG.

Well from what ive seen theres no point in giong into the woods and aimlessly walking around, because you wont find anything. Most resources are in building are near them. There is an occasional campground or site, but not too many. And while you cant just reload your game, you could just start from scratch. However as Ive said before you get new survivors in your group and are able to plays as them. That also means once one dies, such as the one were currently playing as dies. You would just switch to any one of the other survivors of your choosing.
