Yeah, it didn't happen when the game was off, I was elsewhere on the map and got the message that he was sick with whatever the disease is called, thought I would leave it because it seems like most of the time stuff isn't time sensitive and got back to find a whole bunch of dead dudes. It says in the journal something like 'succumbed to the preacher'.

Is there any way to keep the Judge and Sheriff alive? They both died in my game. Also, man, scavenging in houses is loving hard. There's just so much to go through and its so dangerous to get through.

I loaded up my game today and it seems to have forgotten the last several hours of progress I made yesterday. I moved the base to a new location yesterday and set up a new outpost, and now I'm back at the old base again.

I just started out, but after the 'check cabins' mission I haven't had anything to do. I've been loading up the supply closet and searching the tents and the surrounding buildings (the truck doesn't have a key.  ) and still nothing more offered to me. So I logged out last night and am wondering if the game will progress.Am I doing something wrong?

It doesn't play all that often actually, it's just the only line that's all that noticeable. I couldn't tell you what they say for the other lines because they are so forgettable but I always notice when the runner decides to be a dick to the traumatized radio girl. I gotta say I can't believe it's taken until now for a zombie game to have a button command dedicated to screaming "gently caress you!" at the zombies. If Co-Op ever does wind up getting patched in I will be the worst survivor buddy ever because that's all I will be able to do 24/7.

Played for a few hours and having fun, only two complaints I can think of, one minor the other major. The minor issue is how lovely the events tab UI is, it's such a mess that I don't even bother checking anymore and just keep track of what's going on from the scrolling text as it appears. The UI in general is kind of shabby. The major issue, however, is zombies insta-spawning in clear areas. I ducked into an empty house in the middle of nowhere and double-checked to make sure all the fields and surrounding area was clear. The exact moment I start exploring the house I hear a bunch of moans and zombies are crawling everywhere outside. It felt incredibly artificial and all it did was just force me to pack up and drive to another house. I hope they can do something about that. I also find hordes spawn too much but I've heard a patch is incoming to fix that and cars make killing hordes moot anyway.

When I first started playing I'd easily ram through hordes with my car while singing "SLOW RIDE" (Cause that's what you do) but after dozens and dozens of hordes all the cars in my town were left smoking and on fire, making it hard to find a clean car to run the hordes over with.

Anyone have any success with moving to the Residence in the first town near the Church? The construction site wasn't a infestation yet when I went there to get materials to start building improvements, there was like 30 zombies in there and almost overran me.

The fact that there's no music in any of the cars is criminal. Even a really small playlist would be amazing for mowing down zombies with.

Agreed, but I understand why they don't have any. They're a small start-up production company and probably couldn't afford to license any. HOWEVER, I fully expect State of Decay 2 (With how well this one is selling, you know they'll do another one) to have full tracks in the cars.

I was just trading some beans for some bullets in a farm house by the Grange, when it turned into a full on reenactment of Night of the Living Dead out of nowhere. A zombie horde and a big 'un spotted us on the way out and began to siege the house. Que a frantic battle as we try to fight them off and board up the windows, while dozens of zombies continue to stream to the house from the surrounding field, drawn by the gunshot. The highlights of it were when I was looking for a replacement melee weapon in the house and found a cavalry sword in a dresser, when we charging outside to the truck I noticed a clump of zombies coming and fired off one of my last shotgun shells to take them out with a propane tank, and when we escaped the first time only to hear the people we were trading with screaming over the radio so we had to turn around. loving amazing. EDIT: Oh god. Foghat is tearing my community apart. Everyone's dividing into Foghat Rules! and Foghat Sucks! camps. If this keeps up there's going to be a full blown riot. girth brooks part 2 fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Jun 11, 2013 |

I like all the little jokes and stuff in this game. Every time I hear "Everything's coming up Milhouse!" I chuckle to myself like an idiot. How essential are the kitchen/dining area rooms? I really want a library, dojo AND garden but I don't have room at Snyder's after the essentials.  I'm guessing there isn't a place with enough space for all the rooms, so as to make it about difficult choices? Still haven't lost anyone yet, but I have 16 guys now so I'm contemplating sending my alcoholic, drinksalot lush the long walk. I need to stop just sending Maya out all the time. She's a whirling katana death machine but I guess I'd be proper hosed if she died. I got the message about the Pastor falling sick, but his status is fine. Alan is showing as ill, however, but he's still alive. So maybe the Pastor's death isn't inevitable.

Holy poo poo, boot up the game to find three members missing, Ed's committed suicide and morale in the toilet. Cannot wait for the patch to fix the infestation bug. Everyone's attitude is numb or ran away, now.

Prison Warden posted:I like all the little jokes and stuff in this game. Every time I hear "Everything's coming up Milhouse!" I chuckle to myself like an idiot. Yeah, try to spread your experience points out among as many people as possible so you're not completely hosed if a particularly important person dies. I also don't think there's any home sites with enough space for every room - well, okay, technically Snyder Trucking is big enough for all of them, but only if you build no additional bedrooms beyond what's built in - and the built-in bedroom only has eight beds, and you need twelve people at absolute bare minimum just to man the walls, so if you don't build at least one other bunkroom you'll be dealing with constant sleep deprivation and everyone will hate everyone else. I've never used the dining area but the kitchen is pretty handy, both for the lack of food spoilage and for the feasts you can prepare to give people health and stamina bonuses. You'll pretty much always have way too loving much food, so the food cost of the feasts isn't a problem.

Parallax Scroll posted:What's the infestation bug? The game constantly tells you that there are too many infestations, even though you can't seem to see any. Supposedly it's because it's counting infestations across the entire map. The upcoming patch is going to restrict it to a 500m radius or something. This is actually a huge deal, because the "too many infestations" event can cause one of your guys to go missing. So you could end up like me, where you constantly have one or two guys missing from the group.

It's also a constant morale drain. Not a big deal when you're playing, but in the downtime, without the constant morale boost from mission completions you come back to bar 3/4 empty.

This game looks great, I already spotted it a while ago and only noticed that it got released now, of course I don't have an Xbox so I'm boned... The OP says that PC release is before the end of 2013, has this been confirmed recently? Also why the gently caress would a dev like them make such a game on the loving xbox? I can't think of a less suitable game type for consoles honestly...

As for why it's on the xbox, short answer is because they wanted to.
