State of Decay 2

Lmao wow mack ripped this shit up.




<Lmaoo>

First game was awful, and it bothered me how it was received even mildly well. It was an atrocious, clunky, glitchy piece of shit, but some liked it because...zombies.

With "The Walking Dead" now bleeding viewers, and people taking shits on half assed garbage like this game, I think the zombie craze might actually be coming to a close, and it's about damn time.
 
oh the fucking RAAAAAAGE..... I fucked up and got 2 of my best characters killed at the same time.


got double crossed by another settlement and wiped the fuck out. I will have my revenge lol
 
Does this game have pvp where you can run into another group of actual players in the same world?
 
I'm down to three survivors with one heart to go. Looks like I'm going to have to call in help to finish this game off, unless I can manage to go a huge recruiting mission before the end.

Plus I need to have six survivors to get the largest base so I can get the cheevos for building the largest structures.
 
Well I'm not buying it then. That's dumb as fuck.

LOL.

It is weird how this franchise has so much "well duh?" potential. Like, you look at it, and think "well, why didn't they do that?"

It feels like a game that's ambitions are limited by technology, but the problem is that the technology is there. It's right there. You're thinking "Just do it.

...but they don't do it. Instead, you're just left with garbage.

It could be a legit console seller if they made it an actual AAA game. Yanno something the Xbox needs. I'm sitting here with my thumb up my ass staring at my one x.

FIVE years of development. Microsoft exclusive

...and they released a slightly more polished version of the Xbox 360 Indie game that preceded it.

Who knows though? The first game sold well, despite it being a pile of shit with some interesting ideas. I wouldn't be surprised if this game found an audience, that defied critical reception. "Destiny" did it.
 
All hearts defeated and now have six survivors again. Moved everyone into the Brewery and built an armory. Now I just gotta keep them all alive when I move into the next map.

Just quit driving like Danica Patrick and you'll be good lol

Also when moving to a new map, you have to look for a base. I got caught off guard and had to hoof it at night to find one (didn't give me a car or anything) so I suggest moving in the morning. Also do your leaders questline before moving because I don't know if the missions all reset but each map has its own load of plague hearts.
 
It hard for me me to understand what I should be doing 1 hour in the game. Already lost the doctor and soldier that helped me in the begging. Only quest I see are escort enclave people. I am sure I’ll more shit will open up and be more fun, but these bullshit quest I have are boring and don’t seem to further progression.

Have you actually played it or are you just some kind of toolbag hater like I am with most games.

Played it. It's repetitive, fetch quest bullshit.

At best, it's a game with some alright ideas, that you really need to have an imagination to make it more than what it is. If you liked it, that's cool, but to me, I had the same experience with SOD, that I had with Dead Rising(even though they're a lot different). The core of the game is so generic and basic, and it gets old after about three hours. It's the same shit over and over again, with nothing driving you forward. If you can look past that, and get into the atmosphere, well then I can't argue with that. It just wasn't for me.

And that's without touching on it's glaring technical issues. To me, it's a basic bitch, repetitive grind...that's also a glitch ridden mess.

EDIT - LOL, oh' wait, you were talking about the sequel. My bad. No, I haven't played it, but the poor reviews don't exactly shock me, and knowing the formula, I'm comfortable with believing it's just as bad as the first game was. In fairness, when looking at the gameplay, I think the reviews might be overly harsh, considering some of these same people loved the first game, and it looks about the same to me, with some very minor tweaks. I think some are just waking up to the fact that the franchise wasn't that great to begin with.

You're spot-on with the fetch quests but i think you're missing out on what made the glitches in the first State of Decay into a cult following

Vehicles were buggy, became destroyed with well placed hit of a stop sign, cars were easy to roll and became un-salvagable on death

Does that sound like...PubG anyone

Or how about Day Z vehicles

My point is the punishing glitches in the first game made players extra careful in how they played which fits an apocalyptic setting well, adding another level of fatal danger to shuttling around

In State of Decay 2 you have the option now to "flip" vehicles back upright and save their trunk inventory...I can easily imagine fans of the first game being secretly disappointed by that
 
my biggest problem with the game is how godawful the graphics are for a supposedly "xbox x enhanced title"

***** please your shit look like a playstation 2 game

whoever you hired to put those shitty grass textures all over the map needs to be put back in his time machine his family misses him

It was a good distraction for 4 days. I haven't played it since Friday night, got back onto Warcraft.
