Trying out State of Decay 2.

What are thoughts on it?

What are thoughts on it?

It's fun, so far. Camera can be a bit wonky inside buildings but it's a minor issue.
I haven't been able to kill those big boys yet, as I can't find a decent gun. And I started 3 games just to see if it's different each time, and it is. Once you finished a certain mission things get (somewhat) easier. Later it get tougher when aforementioned big boys appear.

Location is key though, as rtwjunkie has said before, you'll probably be switching upgrades a few times before you find a perfect* spot.

Spoiler: *

There are trade offs

I'm on my 7th playthrough of State of Decay 2. Bugs abound, even after yesterday's 17th patch. None are game breaking though, and there is quite a bit of charm in it. Undead Labs keeps providing new content, as well. Replayability is high. After each campaign finish, you get the opportunity to take through to the next game three of your best survivors. @SN2716057 (I'm not giving away a spoiler), just before your final mission, load the three up with as much good gear and resources and mods as you can. Ignore them telling you they are overburdened. When you select them for the next playthrough, you can skip the opening tutorial and have at least a few supplies and weapons when you start. You'll start out like this:

Spoiler: SoD2 Screenshots

If you are really quick, you can get a screenshot of a juggernaut kill. Rifle shots to the head, stay out of his way. When he falls to his knees, you have about a second and ahalf to get close to his head and hit the execute button.

I love defending stairwells!

If only the zombies had invested in a "Zombie Crossing" sign...

@rtwjunkie
How does SoD2 stack up against the other zombie games like Dying Light, TWD and others?

@rtwjunkie

Well, unlike TWD or even the first SoD, there isn’t much narrative. Just barely enough to scoot it along. Nothing compares to Dying Light, IMHO. However, it’s important to note that it may be an unfair comparison. Dying light is a 1st person action/shooter/parkour game and TWD is a narrative driven adventure. SoD is a group survival/base building game with some light roleplaying.

Even so, it’s addicting as any TW game for me. It’s a game which emphasizes compromises, in terms of the community you assemble to which bases you move to and what you build. None will be all good and beneficial.

You might desperately need a carpenter, but once you welcome him/her into your group you find out they “Built the worst deck ever” and will waste half of your building materials that you can’t afford to waste. Or you welcome someone who has storytelling trait (raises morale) and is a great fighter, but you discover they are depressed and waste 3 of your meds every day to cope. Or someone is always picking fights, lowering group morale. What do you do? Exile them? Keep them? The choice and group success is yours. Zombies are only half the problem.

Finished Beyond Two Souls,amazing single player game and well worth the 10 Euro I paid for it and now I'm interested in their other games.

Atm I'm playing this,catched my attention recently and since D2 was a big part of my childhood/highschool years + I also played GD a lot.
Diablo 2 mod for Grim Dawn,its quite impressive for a mod imo.

Playing a Javazon mixed with Nightblade for the passive bonuses.

Mod is harder than D2 and GD by default,some enemies hit like a truck even on Normal but I guess thats fair considering the character/gear combinations in the mod that could be really strong.

I can only imagine what a Necromancer 'fusion' could do,classic D2 Necro+GD Necro combined. 'maybe I will make that as my alt char'

 

[metalfiber]

Alright, alright...junkie and bender convinced me to play State of Decay 2 next. I'm putting in a rush order on finishing up Fallout 4. This will keep me on the whole post apocalyptic theme anyhow.

 

[Drone]

Started to play Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D.
Oh boy, it's a sex type drug. Addictive as hell, never had so much fun. My favorite Resi game ever… after REmake on GameCube of course!
Capcom knows what they're doing. I'm going to play this at least for 100 hours. Level design, missions, controls, engine and especially enemy AI are top notch.
Really love games with clever enemies: they flank you, dodge your attacks, plan in advance, ambush you, throw grenades when you're around the corner. Absolutely impressive.
Whoever programmed mercenaries AI deserves billion dollars. Resi 4 and 5 had lazy majini and ganados but here they're relentlessly searching for you and doing everything to destroy you.

Rebecca and Claire kick ass but Jill is still mah girl. I'm gonna play with all the characters and unlock all the outfits/weapons/skills.

 

[Ahhzz]

Actually spending a bit more time in WoW Classic, leveling 2 of my 3 mains, and having a good time. Still not all the way back to the feeling I had when I first played, but nowhere near as bad as when we gave it up before Cata. Offsetting time there still with GrimDawn, got an SC 100 Purifier that's able to drop the MadQueen, Lokarr, every Nemesis I've hit... Not run SR or Crucible really hard with it, on Shard 10 or 15 without any issues, and 100 was easy in Crucible. Now just farming totems and bosses/nemeses for specific pieces

 

[WhiteNoise]

All I have been playing since last Friday is Mount & Blade: Bannerlord. Such a fun game.

Hey y'all, can't you play State of Decay 2 offline?

 

[rtwjunkie]

Hey y'all, can't you play State of Decay 2 offline?

Of course. Turn off multiplayer in the settings and it will put you in Single player mode and allows you to pause the game too.

 

[dragontamer5788]

I managed to find some extremely talented FreeCiv players (technically: WarServer, a 2009 fork of FreeCiv), who are now teaching me to 1v1 play.

I'm happy to spread the good news of FreeCiv to anyone out there. Its a free game, on Linux, Windows, and Mac.

 

[metalfiber]

Of course. Turn off multiplayer in the settings and it will put you in Single player mode and allows you to pause the game too.

Thanks, that's one of my pet peeves about a game. Most of my games from Steam looks like this in the time played.....

Some HFSHP2, I manage to got it working on Windows 10.. nice game BTW

 

[metalfiber]

Nope, i can't get State of Decay 2 to start offline...dang xbox live b.s. It'll pause and it's not running anything related with multiplayer either. I like running a game offline because of all the resources used in going online, i.e. the antivirus, firewall, updates and all the other processes that start when they sense an online connection. Most of them can't be shut down once they start. So it's no use to go offline after one signs into the xbox live account....oh well, i'll live.

Finished Ori and the Blind Forest, great game, bit short, but full of good content, no filler BS. Satisfied my metroidvania itch. Died A LOT. But got everything to 100%
Going to play Will of the Wisps eventually.


Finished Bloodstained with Miriam. Uncovered everything, killed everything, but didn't complete all the recipes, demons, shards and items. The first 3 are probably not that difficult, but all the items would be an insane chore. Would probably need to play NG+, which I probably will in a couple of years.
Loved the nod to Jojo's Bizarre Adv. with the stone mask. Lots of small easter eggs beside this one, mostly related to Castlevania.


Also once I made the OPest sword and got invert gravity everything became so much easier.


On my way to finish the game with Zangetsu. Playing with Miriam is like playing online CSGO, playing with Zangetsu is like playing against bots. And the bots have nothing but glocks... and you have a railgun.

Just finished playing Unravel and Unravel 2. Think I'm going soft in my old age.

Always looked like a game one could peacefully relax to in honesty.. pretty great with current situations globally.

What is best in life?

When your so good at something that people accuse you of cheating.

Was playing last night and we had a 170ms ping American on our team which is basically.... not rare but a unicorn experience..

Got all arsey with us, oh my score is double yours! Why are you Brits so useless?

So i told him that he is doing a good job upholding our views of USA from an outsider perspective and called him low IQ.

Blocked him for the rest of the game. 7 rounds he toggles +right in console and AFK's for ages, apprently he had been crying and screaming down the mic for a long time and i had no clue about it, drove himself into an intense state and just gave up.

Posted 32 messages on my seam profile LOL.


I blocked him there too..


CSGO... brings the crazies.

With Argentina having some of the lowest prices around, I couldn't resist the 15% off over at GreenMan Gaming for Doom Eternal - around $24. It had to happen, eventually.
Haven't opened the box yet, so I've got that to look forward to tomorrow
