State of Decay's new expansion revealed

<< LINK REMOVED >> That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Having coop wouldn't make any difference to people playing CoD. It's not like people can't play more than one game at a time ya know.

I agree that this game just screams coop, but to suggest that Microsoft is somehow conspiring against it behind the scenes is just nutts. They want to give people MORE reasons to buy & play their games, not less. Plus, this is a small developer. It may be more of an undertaking than they can handle right now.

and every microsoft headline is about hope and how good things are gonna be or could be or might be or whatever, hope hope hope, hey keep pushing that hopefully things will get better, whatever, just take notice now, its always about the future :/

<< LINK REMOVED >> I followed the game for a long time before launch and was really interested, but after awhile I could see it wasn't going to be what I wanted. For me it turned out to really be mostly a typical third person action game. The survival elements and base management are just kind of on the side, but the core of the game is that expected action style.

Still I commend them on finding the balance that won over a large number of gamers. They straddled the line a bit towards hardcore survival, but stayed enough on the traditional action arcade-y side to make it successful.

<< LINK REMOVED >> bet that will have multiplayer.....

They already stated that co-op doesn't fit the model of the game. It will never happen.

<< LINK REMOVED >> seems like you wnat a lot from a simple indie game. the whole idea was great and somthing never done before, just like gta 3 it will change the game and create a new genre. no matter what tpe of game you build people will find a way to say something is wrong with it.

@Shelledfade1 Wow broseph. For people like you who clearly don't respect gameplay with an established goal, there are more than enough open-world voxel games or games like DayZ mod. Rust, 7 Days to Die, Terraria, Minecraft, Starbound - go play those.

State of Decay doesn't need a map generator.

<< LINK REMOVED >> No beef, but I think its a LOT harder than you make it sound with that "do this now or no buy" thing. Hard enough to where I doubt the sequel will feature that at least not fully functional let alone an expansion. What do you mean one map? As in the entire game we have now? Of course another map in an EXPANSION would be absolutely perfect and more than we could ask for. I would be shocked if we actually got an ENTIRE new map because considering what the game is..that would essentially be the sequel. Ppl gotta remember this was a $20 game that has value more than a lot of full priced games. As for building anywhere...I wouldnt be surprised if that function originally existed and they just got rid of it or something...why would anyone want to live in a regular house or shed when you can have a base?...I like how the things you build actually show up and can be seen. Its pretty obvious why you can't set up shop inside a shed or something...your not going to be able to build anything..unless they take some unrealisitc route where you don't actually see anything....that would be terrible. The building and supplies stuff however was my favorite. I would like to see the system they have now but ramped up....it would be awesome to see outposts expanded upon more with building options there. Maybe being able to build in a "base" and connect it to close areas with fences etc.

<< LINK REMOVED >> The "penalties" for ignoring stuff like that was incredibly minor. If you wanted you can ignore things like that. I found it overwhelming too at first...ALTHOUGH I did appreciate the fact the game always wanted to keep me busy. Then once I realized half the crap isn't really required for me to succeed....I appreciated it more so because at least they actually made it so you can always have something to do. I've never played a non repetitve video game before.

<< LINK REMOVED >>

I think that juggling all those missions builds character, but I agree on that bit about not the game running on itself - or more precisely, make extrapolations on what could have happened in between your previous session and current one.
