State of Decay (Xbox 360, PC)

Here's hoping one of the first things they do is open the engine and resources up to modding. At the least configs and whatnot. Everything is so locked down you can't even add new aspect ratios yet, so if you have a 16:10 monitor you have to play in 16:9.

The fastest way to stop this from being a straight console port would be to let us do it ourselves to be honest. The game itself is quite fun but simple, mainly because it's a console game I guess. If the concept was expanded in every way it could be a truly amazing game, but as it stands it's just a good one imo

Even in its somewhat crappy alpha state, this is pretty addictive.

Really surprised people aren't talking about this game some more. It needs some tweaking and expanding, but it's one of the most addictive game concepts I've encountered in a while.

I decided to stop playing to see what they update, so I don't get sick of it first

That's fair. I think I need to restart, I've wasted too many construction materials trying out the different facilities you can put in.

For a lazy person who can't be arsed to research it to fans who love to tell all about their favorite things. What's the setup like as far mulitplayer vs single, vs limited muliplayer. Question comes up after saying wasting materials on facilities. Would make it sound to me like a single player experience? Otherwise for example in something like Dayz you'd just continue collecting resources no matter what you waste it on.

It's all single-player at the moment. The amount of resources in the gameworld is limited, so it's entirely possible to waste them, although I don't know if you can really paint yourself into a corner by doing so.

is there any word on when this goes multiplayer?

It would appear never.Multiplayer :: State of Decay General Discussions

shame

I don't think it'd work well as a multiplayer game.

I dunno, i could see it being a decent co-op game somewhat in the vein of Day Z if they expanded upon the fort building part. Going out on missions for supplies and whatnot. I loved this game on X360, was worth every bit of it.

I'll definitely drop 20$ on the PC version as soon as it adds keyboard/mouse support. I won't touch it until then.

I used the keyboard and mouse for it. Then bought a controller, much better with a controller but yes, you can use keyboard/mouse.

Maybe this will be ok for multiplayer.

It's still a fun game, but yeah. It has consolitis something fierce, and I'm someone that doesn't usually get bothered much by that.

Thank you for being a guinea pig, Tuco. Really wanted to try this for PC, but now I won't be.

Fuck Jeff Strain in his face with a chainsaw and banish his wife to the salt mines of fucdifikno but don't they tell you when you purchase it's best played with a controller?

Jefferey talked this game up like a Swiss sailor when he left ArenaNet, almost Daikatana level ego. I think the first post on the undead labs was something about how everyone was tired of fantasy games and WW2 games and by god he was going to make a Zombie game no one makes those! Heh. oh Jeff.
