way I see it, it's like a single player Day Z

meaning it's tighter and feels more complete if you don't care about the random players aspect of the former

1 - get State of Decay
2 - wait till DayZ alpha gets cheaper/more complete
3 - ???
4 - profit

Not all that much alike, honestly, outside of the initial theme work and being "survival" games. SoD has a lot of community management and expansion and is based around missions, etc. It's a fairly full game. Honestly though, I've still yet to see anyone play DayZ in a survival manner anyway, it pretty much just seems like a extremely barebones, internet jackass sandbox nowadays. We all know internet jackass sandboxes peaked out at Ultima Online, anyway.

Veering off a bit, If you want a single player DayZ-esque title then it seems like Sir, You Are Being Hunted might be a good choice. That's what I kept reading about it, and that one WILL have co-op added to it at some point.

Still doubting about getting Fallout 3 GOTY for 2,50. Heck of a price, but it's got...
...GFWL *shudders* :|
And I doubt i'll play it anytime soon. I barely know the games, that's the weird thing, but I own almost all of them. :p This is the only Fallout I don't own.

Thanks for Dead Space 3, GK86. I have to install Origin on my PC anyway to replay Mass Effect 3, so I may as well finish the Dead Space trilogy (and cry according to most people).

Help me decide. I need a zombie game for this year's christmas season (last year was The Walking Dead and I'm not feeling like playing Season 2 yet). Should I go for State of Decay or DayZ?

Did you have any unusual characters in the title of the game?

You could try sending it that command to see what you've won/given away to see if it's broke possibly.

I play DayZ as a survival game. I like to sneak up on people on occasion, but I generally like to stick to the forests.
