Whaaa? The original game was incredible, even with first-run "persistent" world stuff, I was completely hooked on it
You could say this game is in a state of decay, really. They named their game well.
They should sell the "State of Decay" (IP) to a bigger company capable of allocating funds and more developers to work on a sequel. Then they should quit their jobs and pick up library keeping, plumbing or whatever instead because the YOSE is the product of inept developers and so was the vanilla State of Decay, but after 1000 patches it was 'playable'.
We've got the patch done. We're waiting for the greenlight from the publisher before it goes live. They have it going through their testing pipeline right now, so if history is any judge, I'll be able to tell you something between one and three weeks.
Don't quote me on that - just wanted you to know where we were.

Agreed, bought it three times, once on 360, twice on PC for the wife and I, major letdown was the fact they tried to cash in on an xbone version rather than moving forward with a coop and/or SOD2.
The patch has likely been long done on PC, but since this is Microshit and their "dedication to PC gaeming", they're forcing parity by holding up deployment while the XBONE version is going through certification.

The potential of the first game was tremendous, but it always felt like a cheap console game. Something similar in style but ramped up to 11 would be awesome.
I *adore* the first game, hands down the very best zombie title I've ever played. A lot of my anger towards UL/MS is the cash-grab "upgrade" they did, because I loved the original so much and hated it being monetised in such an obviously anti-consumer way I'm not looking forward to Class4 because I simply have no interest in online, but a proper full-on non-online SoD sequel? I'd be down with that.
.... as a yarr, because fuck supporting MS/UL after their escapades
Agreed, the game has its flaws but it's easily the most complete zombie "experience" (if that even makes sense ) around, or at least the one that makes you feel right in the middle of a serious brain eaters apocalypse. Another game that somewhat captures this sensation is Dead State, although that's a different genre entirely.
It would be a shame if they go full online, you never go full online
Yes, you rescue other NPC survivors, build a base and try to fix a motor home / winnebago thing in order to escape.
A problem it has is how only the character the player is controlling (at the time) seems to be doing something. You see some NPC characters go outside doing nothing, not working or scavenging or nothing to benefit the group. The missions get -very- repetitive when it comes to the other survivors, for example the ones where specific NPCs get trapped and surrounded by zombies and you have to go rescue them; only for the same NPC to get trapped again later...
