Pc dudes, I wouldn't worry too hard about it because it's kind of a dull game after a few hours and you have Day Z to play. SOD has good intentions and and some cool ideas, but none of them work that well and it's pretty boring after you get over the novelty. The whole game feels pretty half baked.

I dicked around with it for maybe two or three hours after the newest update, but have pretty much lost interest in it. Hope they don't take so much time on the survival mode that it gets lost in the huge amount of games coming out in the next few months.

I don't know, I liked it. Probably put in 8-10 hours. I'm one of those guys who loves grinding though.

I think the last TU really helped it out. The Take A Buddy Along is kind of bullshit if he won't haul poo poo, but it's better than nothing. It seems like some of the more interesting random missions pop up more often though, and that's a huge plus. I really want a way to scrub off the 'Ran Away' status after awhile though, or at least have it not interfere with their actual mood.

After a while I assumed it just meant their "origin" was that they were the kind who always ran away? Because they're still in our camp and seem happy. It's really odd playing this game and Dead Rising 2 so close to eachother. There's a lot of crossover and a lot of places in each where you're like "Well why didn't the other one do that?".

Did TU2 add new random events? I'm seeing messages now about mood that I've never seen before. Whats the most survivors you can have? I've got up to 38, and the game refuses to find any more.

I got to around that before the last TU, but then the game got all glitchy and crashy. Now I have 19 (well, 18, one guy died) and no more are to be found. I wonder if I have to get through the plot more or what before it unlocks more survivors, but I'm going to be pissed if they 'solved' the too many survivors problems by limiting how many you could have.

Does anyone know of a Lets Play for this with someone who isn't a complete idiot? Every single one I've found has the LPer act in the absolute stupidest ways possible, then question why they died when they were doing SO well by leading the zombie horde back to base and leaving all the doors open.

Tibeerius posted:Honestly, that sounds far more entertaining than watching someone play optimally. As much as I love State of Decay, the game gets pretty dull once you learn the effectiveness of drop-kicks, sweeps, and vehicles. Pretty much this. I can send a brand new guy out unarmed for scavenging missions and literally the only thing that can wreck my poo poo is a Feral, and that's only a 50/50 at this point. Playing optimally would only be good for if someone wants to see the story and isn't interested in the game itself. You could mix it up with unconventional tactics I guess, but you have to be really bad at the game to... be bad at the game, I guess.

I got a good 10 hours of the game, I enjoyed it for what it was. Game is more fun before you realise that the drop kick and cars rule the show though, as has been said.

The Early Access statement they put up is one of the most conservative I've seen, but the game is 100% the Xbox 360 version, right? I know the original wasn't the most stable game, but this sounds like an easy Early Access purchase.

It's all done, it's a working game, and it seems to have all the features of the console games. It just doesn't have kb@m.

I just played the Steam version and the graphics seems a bit janky, the flashlight behaves downright odd, and the animations could be better. It's still a lot of fun, but you may want to wait if the price is too much. It does have some of the most capable npc buddies I've seen in a game in a while.

What's the earliest point I can kill off each non-random survivor? You can kill them off immediately after you cross the river to leave the opening area. Once you get Marcus and Maya killed off then Ed will automatically die as well if you haven't done the Veterinary Clinic mission, and then you'll spawn as a random character. Leave an item in their backpack when you get them killed so you can retrieve it for brownie points, since everyone's going to be bummed out that they've lost three people.

Picked this up on pc. Well worth the price of entry if you like zombie survival rpgs. Has some stuff to iron out for sure, mostly having to do with graphics, but it runs a lot better than a number of other xbla ports I can think of. This game is giving me nostalgic flashbacks of Midwinter.

Party Plane Jones posted:The engine that the game uses is one of the Crysis engines from what I recall. Yeah it's certainly not an issue of the game looking bad. It just lacks certain things that are sort of assumed in PC releases, like multi-level AA, texture/shadow detail, those sorts of things that you want to see in the options menu. Right now there's just one setting, and that's good enough for the game to be perfectly playable, but I'm sure it could be better (and presumably will).

MotioninJoy is kind of awful and it has, among other things, screwed up my bluetooth controller. If you're using a PS3 controller, you can try this instead.

Right now it's just the early access release. It's buggy as poo poo, the crudest of console ports. The game text doesn't even reflect that the game is running on a PC ("Please do not turn off your console"), there's no option to adjust mouse or keyboard settings or even any recognition that they exist. There's horrendous mouse acceleration that makes the game basically unplayable if you don't have a gamepad. A lot of people won't be able to play it period, and the game hasn't even begun to actually be optimised for... anything. They really weren't kidding when they say "don't buy the game if you're short on time or patience." Make no mistake, you're buying into a beta. Personally I'm fine with that because I was really itching to try this. All that being said, I have a question! If I have a survivor accompanying me, and I find two packs of materials, can I get them to carry the second one back with me instead of radioing for a runner for no discernible reason?

Thanks for the summary on the current PC version, this was helpful. Unfortunately, you can only bring one pack back with you to base at a time. There used to be a glitch where you could drop one of them in the bed of the old-style pickup truck, but they may have patched that out. It could work in the PC version though possibly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftFD-99niqk

So I'm not clear on home bases. Do you lose your existing home and it's upgrades if you set up a new one? The interface doesn't seem to be set up for multiple homes.
