That beach resort area.

Enjoy the resort while it lasts, it turns pretty shitty after that and gets progressively worse.

I didn't even know it was a thing.

I downloaded it last night, I wasn't a big fan of City but I guess well see.

Ghost Trick, Sneak Beat Bandit, and s&s ep.

Slowly making my way through TLoU, just met up with Bill. Game is easily my GOTY thus far, everything about it just clicks with me. This being my third playthrough and second on survivor (NG+) only makes it that much more enjoyable.

After recently getting my copy of TLoU back from a friend I decided it might be time to start my Survivor NG+. Only as far as escorting Ellie to the north gate but still so good.

If you have people to mess around with its fun. We robbed like 7 stores in a row using a chopper

Lmfao. That shit can be pretty damn funny from time to time. I ran a Cargobob into a police chopper that my bros were dueling in their chopper and it just exploded and we flew away

Been pretty much playing GTAO exclusively the last couple days. Nothing about it is all that great, pretty average in fact, but I'm playing with friends and at the very least it's a fun experience. We had 4 stars and were fleeing the scene when another player swooped in with a Cargobob (helicopter) to try and take us out, he made a mistake and got close enough to our car that I could throw a sticky bomb out and detonate it before it came back down to the ground and blew up the chopper and the pilot inside lol.

Meh, cheats and net code issues were the least of it. The ARMA engine is just janky.

DayZ definitely did this open world zombie thing the best, it's a shame the game it's built on is so bad.

I think the first one was my favorite, it's a small heist but it gave you the most interesting approach with the gas.

Ah yeah you're leading up to the one I was talking about.

You're doing a heist in the boonies, right? That one is really good.

Theres a stat screen in the options menu that tells you your progress.

In the end it's just not for me. There's giant gaps between objectives and it's really just not all that engaging. I can understand why people enjoy it though I just can't.

Guess we just had vastly different experiences. SoD stopped being tense when I solo'd hordes and infestations with a sledge hammer. Losing survivors isn't that big of a deal since all Zombies aren't threatening IMO and even when you do it's just tap A to get 75% HP. I haven't ran across anything as tense as some of scenes in TLoU but I also haven't/won't beat SoD. The checkpoints is a valid complaint I guess but faulting a game for a good checkpointing, although it may deduct from tension, is silly to me.

On Normal it definitely is. I never played it on Hard so I can't vouch for that but Survivor is definitely something else. I guess dragging in difficulties is a bit unfair since Normal is the default one. But I can just as easily make that claim for SoD, that it's more action that anything else.

Well I'm not arguing against it being survival, but it's just as cookie cutter survival as something like TLoU which I guess, when compared to the rest of the genre, is saying a lot.

would it have been a good game if it had co-op?It would've been far more tolerable. The mechanics are all passable, with the exception of driving which is downright awful. It's not a bad game, it's just not a fun one. Doesn't help that it was praised for being a "real survival horror" when face to face with TLOU.

Think I'm officially done with State of Decay. Game is pretty boring.

Meh, didn't pay for it.

I guess it's just not that interesting then. I'm not very far but I've cleared out multiple infestations with a single character since the zombies aren't all that threatening and their pathing is easily exploitable. I'll stick with it because the concept is cool especially since I'm not being sniped by strangers lol.

Started State of Decay, game's alright but I probably won't finish it. Seems like it's extremely repetitive with no real narrative thread to make a compelling argument for me to get through it. Having coop would've alleviated that issue IMO.
