The Best Zombie Game This Year Coming To PC - Hint, It's Not TLOU.

[QUOTE="SecretPolice"]

[QUOTE="Obviously_Right"]

True.

State of Decay certainly isn't one of them either.

does this game have multiplayernarutosup

No, thanks to time-constraints they had to scrap co-op. The proposed sequel will though.

lucky for us, the last of us isn't a zombie game

Yeah because nothing screams strong DRAMA then holding your hand the entire way intermixed with set events in which you have no control over..

Lol these people saying TLOU isn't a zombie game. No 'Zombie' game has actual zombies in it anymore, there is always some different name given to them. Let me knew the difference between a runner in TLOU and a infected in L4D2/Dead Island or whatever. Both of those games have tougher versions of the zombies synonamous to the clickers in TLOU. 

I'm curious about State of Decay and will probably pick it up but doubt it will surplant Dayz as the best zombie sandbox multiplayer game on the platform.

Yeah, they're zombies

Thanks for clarifying that they are indeed zombies.

I heard that it is really good but the graphics are less than great and the frame rate has some issues on 360. I will most likely pick it up on PC if they add Co-Op. I've been told its very fun. Better than The Last of Us though? Ha, that's a laugh.

Seriously, I shouldn't have to paint you a picture. Humans get infected and then make it their duty to get other humans infected. The ways, means and habits of said infected don't vary wildly enough between them and "traditional" zombies to afford a differentiation. A spade is a spade, because it has a shiny handle doesn't make it a JCB.

They're zombies, plain and simple. It's really not a big deal so the very fact that we're having this conversation is a bit silly.

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"][QUOTE="SecretPolice"]Open world sandbox go anywhere game with derivable vehicles > hand holding more linear game with a bit prettier graphics. :P

Yeah because nothing screams strong DRAMA then holding your hand the entire way intermixed with set events in which you have no control over..

What are you talking about? I seriously have absolutely no idea what your post is about :? The only valid conclusion that I can come up with is that you probably never played TLOU. And as for you going on about "set events" pretty much every single game with an end objective has set events. You can say skyrim is open world and non linear, but does it not have a main story? does this main story not have a finite number of possible conclusions? Therefore is it not a "set event"? Lets look at GTA, does GTA not have a main story? Does the main story not have a finite amount of possible conclusions? Therefore can we not say that it has set events? its impossible to create a game with an end objective and not have set events, well, not until you create AI that can think on its own and construct the game world in real time ever altering the game world.

As for holding your hand the entire way...once again I ask, have you played TLOU? Cause it clearly seems to me that you are talking about a different and completely unrelated game. I'm pretty sure that this game puts you in an area, throws you some enemies, tells you to go from A to B, and then its up to you how you do that. You can be violent, sneaky, a mix of both. And when things go bad, its up to you to think on your feet. So I'm not quite sure what you are talking about which once again leads me to believe you havent played the game or are an idiotic fanboy.

And as for Drama, do you not watch movies? those are completely linear events where you have absolutely no input on what occurs, yet people still find them to be highly dramatic and entertaining, so completely ignoring the fact that you seem to know absolutely nothing about TLOU, you also seem to not know what makes something dramatic. Just to make it easy for you "open world and non linear" is not synonymous with "dramatic".

Not everyone has to make an open world game. its a trade off, open world games trade off deep characters for a larger world. For linear games are able to tell the story they want you hear, and show the character exactly as they want u to see the character. Its like those books where you can select how the story progresses. They are fun and all, but every now and then, you just wanna read a really great novel that tells you an exciting story, rather than having to make it up urself.

TLDR: You, sir, know not of what you speak of.

I hope they fix the bugs and put a little more care into the environment for the PC release, it was pretty amateurish on the 360 despite the ambitious nature.

maybe if they'd been more like zombies, TLOU wouldn't have flopped

TLoU doesn't have zombies, zombies are people that are unDEAD.

You can't strangle a dead person. 

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"]You do realize that being open world doesnt automatically make a game better right? SOmetimes having some focus and linearity is important to get the story going. Its certainly necessary for a game like TLOU which is more about human interaction than just blowing stuff up.II_Seraphim_II

Yeah because nothing screams strong DRAMA then holding your hand the entire way intermixed with set events in which you have no control over..

What are you talking about? I seriously have absolutely no idea what your post is about :? The only valid conclusion that I can come up with is that you probably never played TLOU.

Actually I did play quite a few hours into it..

And as for you going on about "set events" pretty much every single game with an end objective has set events.

No I am talking about gaming in general.. TLOU doesn't some how contradict this.. It freaking personifies this..

You can say skyrim is open world and non linear,

Skyrim has it own set problems, I am more pointing out the idiotic idea that having a game linear is some how desirable in most genres.. It isn't.. Not to mention the idiotic idea that if a game isn't linear it has to be open world.. It doesn't..

but does it not have a main story? does this main story not have a finite number of possible conclusions? Therefore is it not a "set event"?

You seem not to have a clue what I am talking about.. Let me explain it to you.. CoD syndrome.. Where your funneled down a narrow cooridore.. Ultimately led to some huge set explosion in which you have no control over or any input in there.. Bioshock Infinite was a damn good example of this..

Lets look at GTA, does GTA not have a main story?

Another stupid example, no where did I mention GTA.. IN fact I felt GTA 4 was quite linear due to the very little things you could do outside the actual missions..

Does the main story not have a finite amount of possible conclusions? Therefore can we not say that it has set events? its impossible to create a game with an end objective and not have set events, well, not until you create AI that can think on its own and construct the game world in real time ever altering the game world.

As for holding your hand the entire way...once again I ask, have you played TLOU?

Yes I have as stated earlier.. TLOU isn't some masterpiece that some how broke the boundaries.. It had the exact same build up narrative in which you are hand held in doing certain things.. TLOU didn't do anything new in this regard, in fact it was quite standard to other games..

Cause it clearly seems to me that you are talking about a different and completely unrelated game. I'm pretty sure that this game puts you in an area, throws you some enemies, tells you to go from A to B, and then its up to you how you do that.

You can be violent, sneaky, a mix of both. And when things go bad, its up to you to think on your feet. So I'm not quite sure what you are talking about which once again leads me to believe you havent played the game or are an idiotic fanboy.

And as for Drama, do you not watch movies?

And here is where I am going to stop you right here.. Your comparing a 2 hour movie to a video game in which it is meant to be interactive.. Has it ever occured to you why people are starting to yearn for games like Dayz? Because they are sick of the same linear ass narrative people have been playing for years now, especially in genres like FPS's..

those are completely linear events where you have absolutely no input on what occurs, yet people still find them to be highly dramatic and entertaining, so completely ignoring the fact that you seem to know absolutely nothing about TLOU, you also seem to not know what makes something dramatic. Just to make it easy for you "open world and non linear" is not synonymous with "dramatic".

No I just find it hilarious that you some how think that sacrificing game depth just so the dev can shovel their half baked canned sh!t down your throat of a plot line is tolerable.

Not everyone has to make an open world game.

No where did I state that.. Which pretty much illustrates what is wrong with gaming right now.. That there is either open world or linear train track runnning games..

its a trade off, open world games trade off deep characters for a larger world. For linear games are able to tell the story they want you hear, and show the character exactly as they want u to see the character. Its like those books where you can select how the story progresses. They are fun and all, but every now and then, you just wanna read a really great novel that tells you an exciting story, rather than having to make it up urself.

TLDR: You, sir, know not of what you speak of.

The mere fact that I criticize games for their linear and handholding quality automatically assumes I support open world games like Skyrim is hilarious.. Which just illustrates how fvcked up mainstream gaming has become as of late..

It was announced it was coming to PC a long time ago, so that's old news.

Can't wait to play it on PC when it does come out on steam.

Yeah state of decay is not "the best zombie game this year"

Sorry bub. It's good. But it's pretty rough of a game.

:shock: TLOU is a zombie game?

Watched someone play it a while ago. It looked great in the beginning but after a while it got really tedious

lucky for us, the last of us isn't a zombie game

Im not gotta copy paste the entire post cause it would clog up the thread but let me respond:

You seem not to have a clue what I am talking about.. Let me explain it to you.. CoD syndrome.. Where your funneled down a narrow cooridore.. Ultimately led to some huge set explosion in which you have no control over or any input in there.. Bioshock Infinite was a damn good example of this..

What are you talking about? where did this happen? this clearly shows me that you havent played the game at all, because if you had played it (or read any review for that matter) you would understand that this game is devoid of set pieces. That's what makes it so different from the uncharted franchises. There are no major set pieces where you are running down a falling building shooting people along the way. This game is understated. All the tension in the game is due to character interaction and the tension and fear of being vulnerable amongst a large force of hostile forces. The entire time I played the game, I cannot remember a single COD-esque set piece. If I am mistaken, please, feel free to correct me. The only thing that may even remotely in some skewed way be considered to come close to a set piece, is the first 10 minutes of the game, the prologue and thats it for the entire game. So please, if you have evidence proving otherwise, do tell.

Yes I have as stated earlier.. TLOU isn't some masterpiece that some how broke the boundaries.. It had the exact same build up narrative in which you are hand held in doing certain things.. TLOU didn't do anything new in this regard, in fact it was quite standard to other games.

You don't always have to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes just making the best looking and performing car is good enough. You are assuming that every single game that comes out has to be a brand new and completely innovative adventure, which is a flawed way of thinking. What you are saying is that unless a game is completely revolutionary and innovative, it automatically cannot be a masterpiece. If you look at any medium of art, the majority of what we consider masterpieces are derivative of some prior form of art, gaming is no different. Sure there are masterpieces that are completely fresh and innovative, but those are the minority. The majority of masterpieces are just a perfection and extension of existing art. That's is what TLOU is. Its not brand never before seen concepts, and it doesnt have to be. It just has to be the best or one of the best in that category, and that's what it accomplishes, just like Bioshock Infinite. So your assumption that only brand new revolutionary experiences count as masterpieces is flawed at the core. Mozart and Bach didnt invent classical music, they just refined it to perfection, that's why their works are masterpieces.

And here is where I am going to stop you right here.. Your comparing a 2 hour movie to a video game in which it is meant to be interactive.. Has it ever occured to you why people are starting to yearn for games like Dayz? Because they are sick of the same linear ass narrative people have been playing for years now, especially in genres like FPS's..

Has it occured to you why TLOU is selling so amazingly well and is one of the highest rated games of all time? Could it possibly be because people like the game? You are erroneously claiming that people are no longer interested in a tight, cohesive narrative with linear but well defined gameplay, yet TLOU is selling very well. And while we are talking about linear games that hand hold you...What's the best selling franchise these days...I think it goes by something like...umm....Call of Duty? Yeah that's right CALL OF DUTY! King of linearity. So clearly people dont seem to have a problem with linearity. Once Day Z sells more than COD, then we can talk.

No I just find it hilarious that you some how think that sacrificing game depth just so the dev can shovel their half baked canned sh!t down your throat of a plot line is tolerable.

Once again your personal opinion being thrown around as fact. This is an art form, it is the creators RIGHT to show you what they want to show you. You make it seem like you have some special right to the game. Like the developer should consult you before they make the game. That's not how it works. The developer had a story in mind they wanted to share with you, and if you were interested, you bought it. If you werent you skipped it. Simple as that. I not a fan of all that abstract modern art nonsense, so I dont buy it. Simple as that. But people who understand it and enjoy it, buy it and love it...that's the thing about art, different people experience it differently. And once again, being linear doesnt automatically mean sacrificing depth. Give me some examples of how depth was sacrificed. Cause this game has a good melee system, a deep gunplay system, a deep gathering and crafting system, great survival elements, good stealth system. Where was the depth lost? Every aspect they decided to include in their game had sufficient depth for the scope. Or are you one of those people that thinks adding random frivolous activities counts as depth (i.e. San Andreas body building side quests)?

tlou cant be on pc anyway:?
