Between State of Decay and Project Zomboid, which one would you recommend?
Click to expand...

I haven't played either but, I'd choose State of Decay. I'm not really a fan of Project Zomboid's isometric look. And for what it's worth State of Decay made The New Yorker's top 5 this year.

Dear Esther: The most overrated game ever

Even if you don't care for the game, for $2 it's worth it as a visual showpiece. It looks stunning.

State of Decay is the closest thing you'll get to the perfect Zombie Apocalypse simulator. It really covers everything you'd expect about the apocalypse, other than your character getting infected

Question about FF7:

Is this the same PC version that came out in the 90's which had badly compressed backgrounds compared to the PSone version?

Or did they fix that in this release?

Yes. Let there be no doubt. It was started, played and finished until the very last Credit Note fellow GAFfers:

I'm glad you survived and got something out of the experience.

Here's my hope that one day a true modern Alien game will stay true to the movies and can be as scary and intense to play as it was for me the first time I saw the movies.

If you have a Nintendo DS, Aliens Infestation is the closest a modern game has gotten. If you can immerse yourself in an open ship 2D side scroller and let it's tale of four soldiers and your actions affect you. Has a knife between fingers mini-game.

It's not much, but I felt bad after getting another game in a giveaway. Hopefully I didn't fuck up. I'm an idiot, so it's possible.

Wow... I won. Thanks, i was thinking of picking this up later. Now i can take my final with a smile at least.

Thanks again...

People say it's a visual showpiece but the only part that looks good is the caves (my subjective opinion of course). The grass covered hills at the start are absolutely hideous due to how every single sprite constructing the vista suffers from cylindrical billboarding (the sprites rotate to face the character) It just looks stupidly unnatural and detracts from the ""experience"".

Here's some spares to give back

Gets my recommendation as well. The movement is sometimes clunky and the aliens stop being scary after a while but it's much more fun than CM.

I'd like to know this too. My Google-fu is not helpful at all.

When I upload a Screenshot does it gets Public right away or is this something you have to edit on the Privacy settings?

I asked because one screenshot of mine from Batman Origins is featured in the Community hub and I was shocked to see so many "Thumbs Up"

I mean it's the second most popular screenshot with more than 300, almost 400 "Rated Up"! Lol

Why can't I hold all these thumbs up.
