I love this game I just wish stealth was a little better. Funny how much people complain over a $20 indie game, I got it for $10 on Steam and it is awesome! I have it for xbox and PC and it's sooo much better on PC, runs very smoothly.
You realize they're not charging you for the materials inside the package but for the long long time they put into the game, right? Also, are you calling *me* cheap? I'm not the one stealing.
Just got this one finished, great game, and best Walking dead-ish game, that FPS-Walking dead is poor and Telltale game has very narrow and shallow gameplay. Only thing which I did not like about this was the constant NPC babysitting, because it´s an open world sandbox game, I want do my own stuff like loot, build up my characters and kill zombies, and NOT babysit NPC´s. But PC-version is really, really poor, it´s really choppy with horrible framerate, very poor port. But I give Xbox 360-version 8/10 good game.
Just want to say, it runs great on my PC. (good systems will run it well!) I had to turn down the mouse sensitivity because it sure feels like a console game at heart. Also the expansion pack they released removes most of the "NPC babysitting" along with most of the main quests. It focuses on survival and creating stronger bases. Check it out!
This game is probably the closest experience your gonna get of a zombie apocalypse. Yes, the game has problems but no game is perfect and this is more realistic.
The big zombie the big fat one is not the hardest. The feral is the biggest threat. Can't outrun Can instantly kill you when you have 50% health left. Tackle you all the time Attacks without warning!!! Always comes unexpected and always at bad timings!!!!
"Let's show how dangerous more than one zombie is!!" Goes ahead and kill 5 with one shot, then just goofs around letting them bite her, brawls with 10! zombies, and then push them all away like nothing.. Uh yeah, not the best presentation there, lol. Other than that great vid :)
All those games seem to be taking place in rural southern USA. What a bore. Why not mix things up? That's why I liked AC series, always some new setting.
I have a question regarding the number of zombies on the map. As you play and kill zombies, does the overall number of them decrease, or are the constantly being added to the map?
First time I played lost all my first characters and eventually 3 more got killed and I started over. Lost Marcus again, and lost Sam later, otherwise everything went a lot better. I'm freaking loving this game.
Awesome game although you don't get an emotional feeling about your characters you'll be pissed off if you go out on a resource run and come back to find out a feral zombie jumped your bases fence and ripped your favorite character in half without you knowing lol I give it 8 survivors out of 10
My first game to fall in love with im so sad that sod2 turned out so bad they could have done so much more the first sod is a GEM of single player zombie games and this game brought me to dayz but sod 1 is one to be remembered for ever!
The UI's "looks extremely complicated"... you serious? I mean - I know that IGN folks are not particularly intelligent, but... seriously? This is one of the most primitive hud's available from simple precodes on copy'paste bins; wait - have you ever seen X or EVE's UI's? Now, THAT'S huuuuuge and complicated UI's.
Just a tip for a few of you who do not know it yet, when your max stamina decreases you can just drink a cup of coffee or an energy drink to recover it. I have completed over half of the main quests without having to switch characters by doing that.
Actually in a few houses I found notes about the people that lived. I even found out that the Park Ranger asked for High Powered Fire Arms to get rid of people who over fished. There are even a few places with depressing messages written on the walls.
dunno about this, they *might* release a patch to run smoother and/ or add some small details like animations and stuff, but so for the time being they're focused on the pc version. hope you get some update/ addition after they're done, my console brother
Actually, even though my love for minecraft has faded last year, i tried running on a decent laptop, and even with minimum drawing distances, no monsters on screen, you still get incredibly low fps, and it's due to the amount of processing it takes to generate random areas that also make sense within the game.
This is an amazing game. If they add multiplayer, fix bugs, and add a few new things it will be one of the best games on the arcade and the best zombie game.
Watching it and playing it are 2 completely different experiences, I wish instead of watching this people would try the game. Im completely with you on this. I love the game, just bought it today and its amazing for its 20 dollar price tag (25 in Canada) either way its a great game. Sneaking, hiding, etc its all great.
yeha I heard that..but apparently they wanna see how it goes and sells first..let people get used to it etc..there a lot of stuff in the menus it can get kinda confusing..its very addictvie tho but has a lot of framerate issues atm
The focus of the game aren't the "zombies" and the zombie-like creatures are NOT zombies. They are infected by the cordyceps unilateralis, which is indeed real. Those people are the infected and in the early stages of the infection they struggle to kill you because they still have their humanity.
hey i cant get to the town at the top of the map, theres these weird green barrier thingys anybody know how to get past them or what because i dont have a clue
Well, you can keep playing after you finish. But when you do the only thing left to do is kill zombies and explore. Exploring isn't really useful since you're done with missions. Most people rushed through the game, but I explored 95% of the map fully and I had 50 hours on my first playthrough. Good game, don't rush through it like 80% of people did in my opinion
The framerates are an issue because I can run the first METRO with fairly high settings at 60fps and I get frame drops in this game. Really hoping they fix it because Im loveing the game itself.
My left side of the screen is constantly having 3 things of stuff to take care of all the time aside from the main missions. The worst is i drop survivors off and another one needs a ride instantly. Then someone starts crying at home, then they need food or they want to hunt a special zombie by themselves, now some are missing they better ring back something haha.
I wish you could loot some of the more distinct zombies, load rucksacks into cars, and a hunger meter if some sort. I just got the game today and I really enjoy its current features, but these ideas might make the game more fun. I am not saying the game isn't fun without them.
No, they're not zombies! They're just infected people who attack everyone who isn't infected. And zombies are dead infected people who attack everyone who isn't infected. THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE!
Undead Labs detailed the patch that is coming in the next week or so. The game has already sold around 350.000 so don't be surprised if its the million mark in the next week.
Its not quick it feels like that because the story it self is not that long but you have so much time in between where you have to take care of your group make sure you have medicine food your defenses are good than you have all the exploration which is really fun just to go out and try not to get cought for 20 download its so worth it
I was taking your comment serious until you said "graphics are terrible". Games do not have to look like Crysis or Battlefield to be fun. Graphics, as a gamer, should be one of the least (if not THE least) thing to worry about IMO. Gameplay is always first. And this game (despite its current bugs) delivers a fun gaming experience.
I bought this game and I am enjoying the shit out of it. There are a few technical missteps like framerate issues, but nothing that distracted me from the experience. I have also heard people complaining about the driving and combat. I for myself thought both of those elements were good and had nothing wrong with them. If you can look past the minor technical problems then you are in for a treat.
I think State of Decay is an amazing game! It delivered the experience it intended to and is well worth $20!. The only problem I have with it is that it repeats a lot. For example, the same people would always go missing and I would have to find them constantly. The game does have some great features though. I love the Mercy Shot and I thought it was a really great addition. One of my favorite zombie games, a nice change of pace :)
It's not supposed to be a "zombie kill everything hack their face off with a chainsaw blade" sort of game. It's a zombie survival game, and I'm pretty sure there will be more zombie than what's shown on the screen at times. Also, you have to remember that this game intends to be more "realistic" and realistically you'd have hands full with only one or two zombies.
Eh. It kind of is. The main premise is surviving against hostile human survivors, but there are zombie-like enemies as well. It all depends on what angle you're focusing on. I'm not much of a Sony person, so I'm not trying to defend his statement or anything, just trying to explain why some people might classify it as a zombie game.
The atmosphere is what makes it though. no other game has gotten me so invested in characters like that, or made me actually want to fight for the cause within the game so hard. It's a game that's like a movie, but also equally like a game. that is why it is so great. and I said ONE of the greatest of the decade. also check your spelling and grammar plz
ARGH! I WANT THIS GAME SO BAD but it is delayed where I am - Australia. I'm constantly looking online at news to see when it'll be finally released. It's strange though, we have a R 18+ rating now and we still get delayed (V_V)
7/10, a store would be nice, work shop for building stuffs/upgrades, glitch of zombies climbing over stuffs or popping out of no where , vehicle easily flipping over. Just to mention a few fix
OHH SO LUCKY. I have a Macbook Pro 2011 15inch and im surprised that it doesn't burst into flames when I try to run the latest games. In fact, I can run Tomb Raider on High, Crysis 3 on Medium-High, etc. The only game I have trouble running is Skyrim. For some reason, I can't run it at any setting without at least the slightest lag.
This game was pretty fun until half my population went missing/died for apparent reason. Now all the work I put into building up my home and my characters doesn't mean dick.
mkay is a colloquialism meaning ok, asking if its ok for him to ask someone to let him know. so, it was a question, hence the question mark, why correct correct things?
Years of development time don't mean much, only final product count, Duke Nukem is one perfect example. I think that The last of us is also rushed a bit to avoid major fall release line up, like GTA5 and other popular FPSs.

thumbs up this if you're gay.
Vince P You have to be a real cheap piece of shit to pirate low-priced indie games.
19Jones91 Thumbs up the comment above if you're gay.
You realize they're not charging you for the materials inside the package but for the long long time they put into the game, right?
Also, are you calling *me* cheap? I'm not the one stealing.
Vince P Do you really think they're just charging you for disc? So if you're buying off Steam you're just giving money away for nothing?
STOP CUTTING HIM OFF AND SAYING OK EVERY OTHER SENTENCE DAMMIT
just what i wanted to say... dat okay makes me laugh though xD
I really wish the second guy would shut up with his stupid comments and let the reviewer speak about the game without interrupting him...
Thank you!!!!
It annoys me that one guy is constantly interrupting the other just to say things like "yeah", "hmm" or "okay".
Especially since his voice is so much louder than the guy who's explaining how the game works to everyone.
I wish Mitch (guy making the wisecracks and asking all the questions) would keep quiet and let the gamer speak more about the game.
Will this guy stop cutting him off annoying as hell!!!!
Idiot
which guy who you talking about?
About Mitch Dyer,my friend.
Welcome to the real world

Love how he said medical supplies but he picked up food
He makes this game look difficult
If you have gun little less the p.s fhahels are assholes
This game is probably the closest experience your gonna get of a zombie apocalypse. Yes, the game has problems but no game is perfect and this is more realistic.
Game is truly amazing. Commentary is fucking garbage.
XD
this guy said if there are more than two zombies you should run lol I attack hordes.
Squidward Testicles lmao one molitov or grenade and the horde is gone and if you have a guy with good enough fighting skills you can't be touched.
nomoreclickbait please With the prodigal hero I can do it with a sword
Without useful perks/guns and breakdown mode level 12 +. I dont think u can survive
18:26 "I like their animations a lot"
The most awkward ladder climbing animation ever.
The dude raided a restaurant and found food jars and says "now this has medical supplies" at 5:13. Good job buddy!
First time I saw the trailer I thought this was were you are a wanderer and never had a base.
The other guy is constantly talking over the guy who tries to explain the game. :E
I'd like to have State of Decay 2 set in a big city... yeah I know Lifeline exists (don't have it, it seems urban though), but regardless.
I think the next SoD game is going to be an MMO-like game.
Tubbier Wombat Well that sucks.
IMO lifeline sucked ass
Willy Mills-Fantin agreed I hate lifeline
M8gazine it's confirmed they do :)
at 4:00 an Xbox 360 on the little closet?
Are those sirens at 9:45 in the game?
This is the best zombie game I've ever played
Agreed
You think its as good as SOD?
wow... that truck is not ford 350 or 150.
its a sierra.. or a silverado
a mixture of both sierra and silverado i believe
its a Cayonero
The big zombie the big fat one is not the hardest.
The feral is the biggest threat.
Can't outrun
Can instantly kill you when you have 50% health left.
Tackle you all the time
Attacks without warning!!!
Always comes unexpected and always at bad timings!!!!
You sir are the best I 100% agree they are assholes I lost Markus and maya to one!
"Let's show how dangerous more than one zombie is!!"
Goes ahead and kill 5 with one shot, then just goofs around letting them bite her, brawls with 10! zombies, and then push them all away like nothing..
Uh yeah, not the best presentation there, lol. Other than that great vid :)
"here's you're map, here's you're open world"
"dam!" Lol
This game is now $6 on steam for limited time!
All those games seem to be taking place in rural southern USA. What a bore. Why not mix things up?
That's why I liked AC series, always some new setting.
I think a zombie game in London would be great! Not like zombieU but an interesting 28 days later style survival open world game!
I would love to see a zombie game in the snow.
Tough Kaapro - Leader i agree on that.
EnhancedNightmare southern areas just add a little bit more to the creep factor
Rural southern USA is underused how many Arabian cities have we seen
the guy asking the questions is a donkey
I have a question regarding the number of zombies on the map. As you play and kill zombies, does the overall number of them decrease, or are the constantly being added to the map?

I.got really sad when I lost maya
I lost maya on the farm hold out and the moment I saw here guts spill from her body I reset the game!
The Crazy Khan Maya was always on the rag on my game lol, she was pissed all the time and had to be talked to and I ended up hating her.
My first game to fall in love with im so sad that sod2 turned out so bad they could have done so much more the first sod is a GEM of single player zombie games and this game brought me to dayz but sod 1 is one to be remembered for ever!
The UI's "looks extremely complicated"...

For a zombie game its damn comlicated
Richard Gill
You must be fucking joking. How does that even matter?
at 4:02 , is that a xbox i see there on the dresser?
Will the xbox one version have online
Mitch gets more annoying and irritating the longer the video goes on.
9/10 it was ok. -ign
***** How do you rate it a 9/10 if it was ok?
crusader68 it was a joke
WHY ISNT THIS GAME CO-OP?
Because it was the first game from the devs.
Is there much of an end game style option? Or is it finished when you get to the end? not sure if that made sense but I hope you know what I mean haha
Just a tip for a few of you who do not know it yet, when your max stamina decreases you can just drink a cup of coffee or an energy drink to recover it. I have completed over half of the main quests without having to switch characters by doing that.
Stop interupting the revieuw guy ! verry annoying
i wounder if this games campaign is over quick and if so what is there to do after the main story line and after you searched all the houses.
Actually in a few houses I found notes about the people that lived. I even found out that the Park Ranger asked for High Powered Fire Arms to get rid of people who over fished. There are even a few places with depressing messages written on the walls.
Not yet, but developers says that they have plans for co-op/online and expansion in the future
Is their any online co-op in this game?
dunno about this, they *might* release a patch to run smoother and/ or add some small details like animations and stuff, but so for the time being they're focused on the pc version. hope you get some update/ addition after they're done, my console brother
When the game ends and you escape, you go back to your last save so you can keep on playing.
Actually, even though my love for minecraft has faded last year, i tried running on a decent laptop, and even with minimum drawing distances, no monsters on screen, you still get incredibly low fps, and it's due to the amount of processing it takes to generate random areas that also make sense within the game.
I would be fine with a tacked on multipaler, perhaps just a free roam or something, as long as it doesint mess up the single player's content.
Does the final game have that much screen tearing, that is quite a lot whenever the camera moves
This is an amazing game. If they add multiplayer, fix bugs, and add a few new things it will be one of the best games on the arcade and the best zombie game.
I like making a ram drive and loading games on it. Fast load times. Overkill is nice.
Lily has a surprising amount of things to say about Sam. Her death is actually a sentimental moment compared to most.
Watching it and playing it are 2 completely different experiences, I wish instead of watching this people would try the game. Im completely with you on this. I love the game, just bought it today and its amazing for its 20 dollar price tag (25 in Canada) either way its a great game. Sneaking, hiding, etc its all great.
4:00 is that a xbox under the tv?
I hope they'll patch up the framrate issues in the PC version a little bit
how come in my game i only have 1 mustang but when i see you driving around there is like 5 laying around?? where can u get more?
Does anybody know if there will be any updates that add any items and other places to explore?
yeha I heard that..but apparently they wanna see how it goes and sells first..let people get used to it etc..there a lot of stuff in the menus it can get kinda confusing..its very addictvie tho but has a lot of framerate issues atm
The focus of the game aren't the "zombies" and the zombie-like creatures are NOT zombies. They are infected by the cordyceps unilateralis, which is indeed real. Those people are the infected and in the early stages of the infection they struggle to kill you because they still have their humanity.

I've just bought DayZ, and I am on the edge of buying this. Are they too similar, and, if so, is this any better?
I wish you could loot some of the more distinct zombies, load rucksacks into cars, and a hunger meter if some sort. I just got the game today and I really enjoy its current features, but these ideas might make the game more fun. I am not saying the game isn't fun without them.
No, they're not zombies! They're just infected people who attack everyone who isn't infected. And zombies are dead infected people who attack everyone who isn't infected. THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE!
one of the houses has a line of sunflowers aligned and zombies on the lawn. nice easteregg to a famous ios hit :D
That would be great. I just hope they can fix the frame rate problem.
if you have the option to either get this on PC or 360 get the PC version for sure it looks soo much better, theyve fixed the pop-ins, and no lag
Undead Labs detailed the patch that is coming in the next week or so. The game has already sold around 350.000 so don't be surprised if its the million mark in the next week.
04:00 is that a x360?
Its not quick it feels like that because the story it self is not that long but you have so much time in between where you have to take care of your group make sure you have medicine food your defenses are good than you have all the exploration which is really fun just to go out and try not to get cought for 20 download its so worth it
These two guys seemed like they were verbally battling with each other the whole commentary
Thanks, I figured it out. Took me a while to map all the buttons but I finally got them ALL. Even the freaking radio after editing a file :P
I got it on the steam Black Friday sale (PC) with dlc for like 12 dollar played it for 34 hours! Good game!
when is this coming out for NZ?
establish a base kinda feel like white knight chronicles improvised??
Im pretty sure there is going to be a update where there is coop
I was taking your comment serious until you said "graphics are terrible". Games do not have to look like Crysis or Battlefield to be fun. Graphics, as a gamer, should be one of the least (if not THE least) thing to worry about IMO. Gameplay is always first. And this game (despite its current bugs) delivers a fun gaming experience.
when is it going to get released on PC?
Can they still do updates, like multiplayer, since it's an arcade game?
I bought this game and I am enjoying the shit out of it. There are a few technical missteps like framerate issues, but nothing that distracted me from the experience. I have also heard people complaining about the driving and combat. I for myself thought both of those elements were good and had nothing wrong with them.
If you can look past the minor technical problems then you are in for a treat.

I love the Mercy Shot and I thought it was a really great addition. One of my favorite zombie games, a nice change of pace :)
All dat screen tearing?!? Why don't you have V-SYNC or any FPS limiter enabled?!?
You mean in this video or in your game, cuz if it's in the video I am so blind lol
Well, I watch the video again, and when he rotates the camera, it gets really annoying.
They said that they will add Co-op if the game does good so i think that feature might come in the future
It Is coming to Australia there just checking it and will be available some time next weeek
It's not supposed to be a "zombie kill everything hack their face off with a chainsaw blade" sort of game. It's a zombie survival game, and I'm pretty sure there will be more zombie than what's shown on the screen at times. Also, you have to remember that this game intends to be more "realistic" and realistically you'd have hands full with only one or two zombies.
wait can you put thing in the back of the truck for storage
Eh. It kind of is. The main premise is surviving against hostile human survivors, but there are zombie-like enemies as well. It all depends on what angle you're focusing on. I'm not much of a Sony person, so I'm not trying to defend his statement or anything, just trying to explain why some people might classify it as a zombie game.
The atmosphere is what makes it though. no other game has gotten me so invested in characters like that, or made me actually want to fight for the cause within the game so hard. It's a game that's like a movie, but also equally like a game. that is why it is so great. and I said ONE of the greatest of the decade. also check your spelling and grammar plz
ARGH! I WANT THIS GAME SO BAD but it is delayed where I am - Australia.
I'm constantly looking online at news to see when it'll be finally released.
It's strange though, we have a R 18+ rating now and we still get delayed (V_V)
7/10, a store would be nice, work shop for building stuffs/upgrades, glitch of zombies climbing over stuffs or popping out of no where , vehicle easily flipping over. Just to mention a few fix

after the end game can i still just play in the open world? if not then its not worth buying imo
Is this an online game ? can you play with other real people ? or single player only ?
