    Default State Of Decay (Xbox Live Arcade Game)

    I'm loving every bit of this game so far, glitches n' all, there is just a ton to do and explore. Never, have I ever, played a game where you could enter almost every single building, I've only found one that you can't go in, so far. I don't care so much for the zombie part, but the game wouldn't be nearly as appealing without them. I have a pretty huge distaste for zombies because nearly everyone who claims to be a fucking nerd in this town thinks the idea of a 'zombie apocalypse' is the greatest thing ever! The open world and scavenging everything in it is what appeals to me, a fuck ton! I'm just wondering what you guys think about the game, i'll answer whatever questions you have about it, if you're not ready to decide on purchasing it anyway. There is NO MULTIPLAYER, that seems to be the main concern that people have with it. They've said several times on their twitter that they will try their best to add co-op, at least, to this game. The game would be a lot more fun with other people, but that doesn't take away even the slightest amount of joy to be had playing this game by yourself. Thoughts? Opinions? Questions? Random Wiltzuh Babble? Go!

    I've only tried the trial version so far and seems like an amazing game. I first heard of it through the guys at IGN when they made a video about it. Was so stoked on it haha I generally like zombie games, and the idea of scavenging for survival and everything seemed like something I'll like in a game for sure. The map seems pretty big as well, especially for an arcade game. Didn't have the chance to explore it much or even play it all that much, but will definitely buy it whenever I'll have more time to play video games.

    Pretty much the closest thing to DayZ for consoles.

    I've been thinking about getting this but I'm more interested in open world exploring and scavenging than managing friendships and safehouses, is there a large focus on that kind of thing? I saw in some gameplay that people get angry and need to be talked to and BS like that makes me seem meh on it. It looks great though, I've also heard something about how it randomly spawns or changes or something everytime you play? Any idea what that is? I mean do like the random items tou scavenge change every time you play or vehicle locations or what? Also lastly is it all story driven or is there room to free roam and just have fun killing zombies and finding stuff?

    The scavenging is the best part man, I fucking love exploring every nook and cranny of each and every building. Sometimes a member of your little civilization will get everyone else upset and you need to take him out to bring morale back up, it's not that bad 'cause it gives you a chance to have someone back you up and you can take that person to help you with other stuff. You'll find yourself in some tight situations where you'd wish you had another person to help out. Back to the scavenging, if you don't go around looking for resources, you'll end up dead, along with your entire base. You have to go out and explore the world to find materials, ammo, medical supplies, each and every single time you boot up the game. The people at the base use a daily amount of it, that's why it's so vital. I haven't experienced any severe changes, but the game continues even after you turn it off, a couple people may end up missing and you'll have to recover them later or some may just be dead, it doesn't say why people die though, which annoys me because I have no idea how to prevent it from happening to the others. The story is very lackluster type stuff, there is one, but it's just bad. The voice acting is decent, but whoever wrote the script did a terrible job. You'll find yourself not giving a shit about it after five minutes of playing, just the interesting mission every now and then to move the game along more. One great thing about this is that ALL cars stay exactly where you left them, unless you didn't touch them to begin with, then they are just exactly where they've always been. I'll find myself in a shit car after running over too many zombies and realized I parked a nice car in the back of some house and just go back there and grab it. Let me know if any of that sounded confusing to you, I can see that this post i'm about to make is already long as fuck, but hopefully not that bad.

    Seriously debating spending the last money I have until next paycheck on this jawn. Looks like a console version of DAYZ. (sorta)

    Is there a lot of replayability or is the story long enough to satisfy?

    I just beat it, the credits are rolling as i'm making this reply, the story just blows. I stated above that it is very lackluster and it's sad, but doesn't diminish the experience overall by a lot. I'm going to do another playthrough because I made a few wrong decisions and didn't search everything. I want a playthrough to have the best of the best, basically. I think I put about 20 hours into this first playthrough though, I'd say the story itself only holds about five hours, exploring was the rest. Let's just say if you're interested in the story more then anything else for your gameplay experience, this isn't for you. It's all about exploring, scavenging, building. (whether it's your base or your characters)

    It's coming to Steam as well. Looking forward to Keyboard+Mouse even if the X360 controller is fine.

    Bummed lol, I was that Marcus dude, started a game and scavenged tons of sites everywhere, I had a badass hoe weapon and stuff, got tons of influence stocking the supply at my base and then I went to explore this house in the woods at the end of a curved road, it was all abandoned and they said I could setup an outpost, next thing I know I get attacked by a super zombie and now I'm some asshole Ben with no influence and a garden spade...goddammit I wish I knew that you couldn't go back to a last saved point lol, pretty awesome and fun so far.

    all my people are hurt and tired. i don't know how to heal anyone and no one wants to rest. i am the worst thing to happen to the apocalypse ever. no body has died yet though. i have bitch A who is tired so i switch to bitch B. then i check and bitch A is off doing who knows what the fuck somewhere instead of resting. these people are assholes.
