Ah, cool. Thanks.
That sounds great, I hope it works for them. More games like this, Mark of the Ninja, Dust, shadow Complex, etc would be most welcome.

Maybe. lol, it's like the team ran out of time and just said "Fuck it". It just feels incomplete.

Of course the game has a lot of technical issues, but I can't even begin to care. The game itself is just too good for that to matter.
A bit. With a lot of RPG / base management stuff mixed in.

Yeah, the performance is a bit PS2 San Andreas-ey. Which was fine for me. Better performance would be nice but it doesn't spoil my enjoyment.

Yeah I can totally understand it. At the same time I felt like the story was never meant to be anything grand. More of just missions to send the player on. Seems their focus was more on the gameplay by far. Granted I think the voice acting and dialog was great.

Taking out a fresh character to improve their skills is kind of icky. Especially when the mission surprisingly incorporates fighting a fat bastard and zombie backups that just don't stop coming. The woman i was helping out didn't have any weapons at all. Luckily she also seemed to be immortal, which helped a lot.
That's why you never leave home without a gun and like 30 bullets.
And now Marcus went missing cause of the stupid infestation bug.
I want to shut the game off but when I turn it back on again Marcus will probably be dead.
Oh goodness, that sounds...bad. The AI doesn't know how to handle those guys? Or did they not have ranged weapons?

The voice acting and dialogue is pretty good. I can only imagine what a bigger budgeted State of Decay would feel like. I hope they delay the MMO plans and just give me a sequel.

By far the worst of the special zombies. I nearly lost Charlotte when I can across one of them.
Anyway, has anyone found the downed plane yet? I've found the wheel, but haven't had any luck finding the actual plane.
I saw it. There is a neighbours farm north of the warehouse, then if you go further north from there it is in a big field. Haven't explored it yet though.
while the it could of been handled better it was a pretty good set up for the mmo to bad that wont be around any time soon lol

I did, and they changed the airline to a fake one. On the screenshots it was "Austrian Airlines" I felt a bit proud. And frightened.
I have to say that the dialogue was a huge downer for me. It's pretty poorly written and almost every character has the same "voice": sarcastic asshole. Even Lily has cunty sarcastic lines, like "my hero" when you deliver goods. Bitch, I can keep this for myself and stop feeding and nursing you fuckers if that's how you're gonna be!

Shoot the bloated zombie in the head, similar strategy to the pregnant necros in Dead Space where you shouldn't shoot its belly.
No, the feral zombie is the worst, especially if it pounces. Hard to shoot because it moves fast, and requires a lot of melee attacks to go down. Getting the knockdown shove ability is crucial.

Hehe, Perfect.
I have to agree with Aku, the dialogue isn't great. I wasn't expecting much and it can sometimes surprise when survivors tell you about their personal stories, but for the most part, it's not great. I assume that's more to do with budget than anything else, a sequel with a bigger budget would undoubtedly address this.
WOO! Another joins the fold. Be sure to check out Karak's and Slasher's vids for tips and such as well as ask anyone here for any advice.

Don't do it man. It's not worth the risk. Try the Alamo in the centre of town?
I haven't seen any apart from the IGN let's play vids, but I haven't really been looking. If anyone comes across any, please do post them.
Nah, their writer is just the type of jackass who thinks snotty sarcasm is the ultimate form of comedy. Personally, I think that's the kind of thing that's fun between friends but just sucks in a game or movie. So cheap and easy.
And, yes, I made that exact face every time Lily busted out that line.
There is a story mission close to it so you can't really miss it. It's one of the army mission.

Ya its interesting regardless I guess.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Infestation bug sucks.. I want to stop playing until it's patched.. but if I wait a few days.. people will die.

Looking at the stats, the Alamo is assballs. Literally worse than the church. The Savini house is at least equivalent. If you've got less than 12 people it's either that or the farmhouse.
Right?
So I was able to continue my game and it leaves you just before the final mission (my character never died) and it's taken me forever to get 12 people due to them going missing often. But I finally did it and ready to move into the warehouse.
No materials.
Shit.
It sounds daft but it's just something I wanted to do before leaving it again for a proper playthrough later on. I just....have to.

There's a construction site not far from the grocery store in Marshall. Should be loaded with building supplies.

Is it an actual bug that you keep on getting "Too many Infestations" when there really isn't one? I've gone to multiple survey points and can't spot any infestations.
And then people are crying over it, morale is going down. Tough it out, you pansies. At least you're not in Prototype's New York where whole buildings are transformed into infected pustule abominations.

No it is just that it could be any building in the whole game, even the ranger station up north.
I wish I could assign priorities to my group as a whole. Who gives a fuck about a Big Bastard that's in the country if we're based in the southwest of the map? Why is Jacob at the grocery store when we have an eternal food surplus?
That's what I'm experiencing. There are no marked infestations on my map, yet Lily keeps crying there are too many.

This is the only lets play with a bunch (14?) of episodes I've seen: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0FQH59wI1Ew
I went back to the ranger station (tutorial area), cleared two infestations there and too many infestations" never appeared again.
BTW, I finally finished the game today and got all of the achievements. I had to reload save because I never died
The missions purposely come at you quickly. A lot of things in the game is logical so its only logical that 2 weeks into a zombie apocalypse that things would be hectic.

Does the thread title imply you can play as a zombie?
Its the best zombie game ever imo.
I agree to an extend. The thing is, the zombies are not even the biggest part why I enjoy this game so much.
Weird. Did you check the event section of the menu? Or maybe he died in transit to some location.
It pretty much is yep.

Usually if this happens, a message will pop up saying they need help and you can go help them out. Had this happen to two runners at the same time, managed to help one and hurry over and help the other.
