Bit disappointing, this guy loves it!

How does it compare to SoD?

I prefer it, but then I prefer MP to SP

Thought you always loved it solo

Any bugs so far Curtis? I suspect this will still be a blast in MP. Not all the reviews negative either.

Looking forward to this still, a few bugs won't put me off. Pro Tips and strats from Curtis would be much obliged too, I remember the first one being a little daunting when you're starting out and have so much to concentrate on.

I watched Cargo on Netflix this morning, a decent zombie film for once and really got me up for the whole sneaky scavenging thing.

Yeah, not too chuffed about tethering to the host either. We'll have to see how it goes.

Yeah, but I kind of like having the option should it arise. Like you're back at base, you need to build a few things and are short of resources for other upgrades. I'd like the possibility for one or two guys to stay at base and defend it/build stuff/whatever and another group go our scavenging.

As it stands, everyone is either at base building or out scavenging. Four people on the same resourse run will take away the challenge, stuff like sneaking in and taking your time will be put on the back burner as it's not necessary, it's faster and easier to run in and smash your way through.

This is all conjecture from someone who hasn't played the game mind, but I did enjoy the slow and quiet approach of the original and it'd be a shame to lose it.

It's up !

Downloaded. Shall give it a whirl later. Although it's reset day in Destiny 2 and Iron Banner. Oh and I'm building a base in Conan Exiles as well. Yikes!

Fuck me the dark is tense!

Like your heart

No jank for me as yet. Played for a couple of hours and enjoyed it, but not sure how long I could play sp for though - hopefully get some co op going soon

The night cycle is on par with Dying Light in its "fuck me do i wanna venture out in this?" - the only real light source is your vehicle's headlamps, but they attract way too much attention, so once you're on foot you really cannot tell where the threats are coming from until their red eyes appear (or very late on the radar). I love it, but it means you get very little exploration done until the sun shows its face.

Top Tip: You cannot quit to Dashboard hoping the game didn't auto-save. I tried earlier when i accidentally wrecked my Police Cruiser with a trunk full of goodies. When i reloaded, i was stood in-front of my flaming wreck. lol! Luckily the loot didn't burn up, but it took me forever to find a new car to transfer all the goods. 

Most Important Tip: Do not go 4x4-ing over the hills & rocks in your vehicle! It will get stuck on scenery, and it will filp. Stick to the main roads even though it eats fuel. There are no shortcuts, even on foot.

I'm really enjoying the risk-versus-reward of "how far do i wanna push it?". Had some real butt-clenching moments where i thought that particular character was perma-fucked, but I narrowly escaped. 

Love the melee combat. Shooting is great. Traversal is awful. You have to be in the mindset knowing that its not as polished as most other games. But hey, i can't stop playing it.

Cheap enough to feel like renting a few games for a month G, if you don’t like any just keep it at a month, if you even like one then it’s worth another couple at least.

I’ve downloaded about a billion games free through GwG and bought about another half-billion cheap in sales, I haven’t played any of them. Why the hell would I pay for monthly access to another twelve-hundred billion games on top of that?

Indeed.
