State of Decay 2 First Hands-On: Bigger, Better, and More RPG-y - IGN

IGN: "The zombie-apocalypse-survival RPG doubles down on what it does best. We tell you about our multi-hour hands-on."

Can’t Wait to give this game a shot. Really enjoyed the video that they posted yesterday

[gangsta_red]

Definitely, really looking forward to hooking up with friends the same way I did in Dying Light.

This game will be a blast..from the short gameplay video we have seen. Sea of Thieves in March, Decay 2 in May and a rumor Summer Jun release for Crackdown 3. What a great first 1/2 of 18' for Xbox One and especially X owners with all those games at 4K. 👍🏼

Lime funny thing is I won't be playing one of those games. What a shitty list.

[Kumakai]

@lime: out of that list, I’m interested in 1 game. God of war. The rest I could care less about. Sea of thieves and state of decay look more innovative and novel.

“And State of Decay 2 deepens all of these systems and more, with the result being a game the Undead Labs team had to peel me away from after I spent two days with it. ”

when the previewer has to be pulled away from the game you know it could be great

[OffRoadKing]

When the previewer is a massive xbox fanboy, which Ryan Mccaffrey is and anybody who's spent any time on IGN already knows, I would expect over exaggerated comments like this.

[Gazondaily]

Haha haters gon hate

[gangsta_red]

When IGN likes a Xbox game then you're automatically an Xbox fanboy with exaggerated comments. When they give that same praise to a Sony game then it's all excitement and anticipation and AND are gods.

@Offroadking

The same Ryan Mccaffery that has been mocked by xbox fans everywhere for his arguments against the xbox onex and his “who is it for campaign”

Yep sounds like a massive xbox fanboy smh

[OffRoadKing]

Yep the very same, congrats you found one article out of his entire time at IGN to try and make your point. Good effort though. Like I said those who know the truth know he is.

[Wasabi]

I like the idea that player characters are randomly generated with different character traits, the article gives the example "In my group, Eyman had asthma, which limited his stamina".

Attention to detail like this will encourage team play, forcing players to think about encounters.

Do you flee from enemies but risk losing Eyman as he may be left behind due to his low stamina?
Or stand and fight and take the bigger risk of losing more of the team in the battle?

[Kribwalker]

I agree. There’s a lot to like in these previews

[MegamanXXX]

My PC friends is ready for this game. 4 player co-op

[NoPeace_Walker]

Lets play co op. You on your PC and I'll be on my X. 👍🏼

[Vasto]

I will join you all too on my X or PC. I can play on either one!!!!!

[Kribwalker]

Sweet. The more the merrier. My xbox one X is ready to join you. Send me your gamer tag and we could play this and sea of thieves if you want

[Kabaneri]

So is the perma death optional? Because my real life is finite, and Im not gonna pour dozens of hours into a game just to lose all the progress.
