Awesome, I was wondering what the sales were up to now.
I'm curious what the budget was for this game. I would love for UL to do a postmortem on the development, would be interesting to see how a small team tackled such an ambitious title.

Damn this game is stressful. Been playing it for a week now and I've left the first town only once properly to go meet the judge and that was today. Did a mission, high-tailed it back to the church. Eeep.
What are outposts for and why should I build one?

I commited mass suicide with several survivors, and now my morale is low. On the bright side I have enough beds for everyone now.
They create protected zones that ward off hordes. You can also access the supply locker at outposts. I want to say that they also prevent infestations, but infestations are still buggy right now.

Any news on the title update? I haven't been playing lately because of the infestation issue, but I really want to. =(
Submitted to MS exactly a week ago, so who knows.
I had that happen to me again. It was infuriating. I cleared around 5 infestations that popped up around my church, but it didn't help. Finally decided to just move to the warehouse and take my chance turning the game off.
Serendipity! Turns out all the infestations were around the warehouse. I cleared them out and Infestations were no longer a problem. My campaign continues.

For me the "Too many infestations" message appears and disappears every now and then, it's not a constant nuisance.
Somehow went from 8 to 23 ammo since I stopped playing yesterday. Whatever happened, I'm glad it did. Log tells me Marcus and Aaron found 10 stock each on scavenging runs. Sweet.
Anyone know what happens if you actually run out of something?

Agreed! Easily one of my favorite games of this generation despite the bugs.
I'm perpetually out of building supplies. I got a message about black mold that we were unable to repair due to lack of supplies and I got a -10 or -15 happiness hit
Morale loss, but only low meds and food seem like a serious concern.
I ran out of ammo and came home to zombies all over the place. Not sure if it was coincidence, but I put out a call for ammo ASAP. Heh.

Part of the interface just went and disappeared on me. Can't talk to people any longer, which is a problem since that's required to start missions.
Pretty sure it happened after the mission where the
is attacked. As soon as I got there notifications pooped up saying
had died. Killed all the zombies, completed the mission, got the "hey you did the thing" notification, after which nothing happened. Went to help kill a nearby swat zombie, was no one in the office where the icon was. Karen or someone came running in a couple of seconds later. Couldn't initiate the mission, no prompt appeared.
Oh crap, now I remember I tried looting the place before she showed up but couldn't do that either. I can't access the supply locker. The HUD element that lists your resources and stuff doesn't show up. Exiting and reloading does nothing. I can enter cars and open doors, but not actions relying on UI elements to appear. This bug fucking sucks.
Quitting back to the dashboard and restarting the game helped. Phew. That was scary.

It's not bad at all, basically a somewhat better church in a different town. But the warehouse is better. I think two more outposts, one more parking spot and two more facilities than the Savini residence.
Depending on the resource people might leave your compound.
I really want a bigger budget sequel to this before the MMO. They could take the current map, make it bigger, improve the graphics and physics, and human AI that you compete against, fully destructible environments, and other things. Then they can put out an MMO.

What pure luck. I just booted this up after 2 days of inactivity to see the update. Coming here to see when, only to find out it just dropped. Hot damn!

Excellent news about the patch.
Can someone check the Undead forums and see if they have released the patch notes yet?

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Does this mean Marcus can't freaking die from teh Fever?!?
Because if he died, I'd be uber-pissed.

My Marcus died early (Fever/Mercy Shot) in the game. And this happened shortly after I levelled the heck out of him Will the patch restore him to me I wonder.

This is no good though. Ferals should just stand still all the time.

No. You'd have to start a new game, I think.

Ya Marcus can die from anything. And trust me 15-20 hours into a game if you have been maining him...man brutal. I had to take a walk.

Good.
Can the
die? I had the request to help him in the cemetery, but I was doing another mission. When I finished it, the
mission wasn't there anymore.
Also during the memento mission, is it over once you find the
? I was expecting there to be a cutscene when I got back to the church.

I'm not sure how well this patch worked. It still says we're surrounded by infestations but there are none on my map so they must be pretty far away.

Have you driven around or used the vantage point in your town lately? I was thinking it was still bugged too until I got up high and found three infestations in my neighborhood.

No I haven't. I kind of figured they'd automatically show up on my map if they were that close but you're probably right.
Still, annoying.

Man, that ending.
Jesus, not what I expected at all. Still, I'm assuming based on the description underneath the pop up
and what Marcus says to Lily
, that we'll be getting some DLC at some point or it will it will somehow tie into Class 4.
I'm hoping it's the former, would love some DLC.
Overall, this is possibly the best game I've played all year and is in the top three of best and most engrossing games I've played this generation. Sure it has jank and a lot of other technical issues, but the gameplay is just superb and near flawless in my opinion.
It's the zed games I've dreamt about for years. All zed games will now be compared to this. This has set the benchmark, let's see if any other developer is capable of rising to the challenge.
I love you SoD, let's make babies together.

yeah, we definitely need some DLC. Let's start a petition.
On another note, has anyone unlocked the avatar awards yet? I've only managed the swine and bovine one so far...
I had the same problem. I drove around and used towers to check. I couldn't find any more infections. I seem to have a larger problem post-patch then I did pre-patch.
VibratingDonkey

Done that, didn't see anything, still getting "Too many infestations" and -5 every now and then.
Same. Unless I'm missing something, it's still not fixed.

On the bright side I seem to keep acquiring these BZ75 pistols with 100 shots in one magazine. Don't think that's supposed to happen. 9mm rounds, but still, get 100 of them free with each gun.
Miles Quaritch

Yeah, I started a new game immediately after finishing. I think this one will be my 'no fucks given' play-through, will set up home in the Alamo, won't set up an infirmary, won't train survivors, won't pick up new survivors, use guns whenever and wherever possible and see how it goes.

Yo, seriously, this game is way too easy. Feel like I'm doing chores/housekeeping rather than surviving the zombie apocalypse.
