I’ve been paying State of Decay this weekend, and I’m becoming more enamored with it. Characters did and stay dead, the people you’re not at any given time seem to almost always be dicks. I’ve even gone so far as pay some characters a little hard just to watch them get ripped in two and never have to hear their stupid voice again. I still don’t understand how I’ve let Alan stay alive. I’d use that old bastard as zombie bait.
The ai definitely has some quirks, like how I help the besieged neighbours out of a jam multiple times and they never get the hint. Or my peeps have radios, but I can’t dial a buddy. Rusted out cars are immovable glacial boulders, picket fences are made of rebar and the rustling of bushes is silent while searching a bookshelf is like a dinner bell to zombie ears.
With that, here’s my real issue. Why are there no pets. I have no cat, dog houses with no dogs. I can’t change my clothes. Everyone is wearing mom jeans. Someday I need to make my own game.
