Anyone else excited for this? The first game had some great ideas but was on a small budget. This looks a lot more fleshed out.

Didn’t play the first one,but I’m blown away of what I’ve seen and heard of this one.
I’m playing it on the 22 for sure.
You know it’s on game pass right?
 
Yeah I’ve heard it’s on gamepass which is great for people on the fence, I’ve ordered the ultimate edition so can start playing this friday.
 
It looks like if you've not played the original it could be good, but every review I've seen basically says "there's nothing new here" (and it's buggy) - and I didn't really like the first one (people dying for silly reasons while you're away from the base, weird movement/controls)...

Eurogamer say its "networking bugs struggle to keep up with the action" and it's "very much the same game" - Tom's Hardware say its current state is a "cause for concern" and Newsweek say it plays like it's set in "New Jank City".

IGN and Gamespot don't sound thrilled either, although I think they're giving them time to fix the issues - which the developer has already promised to fix.

When the dev is talking about big issues before the game has even launched... Yeah, this one stinks of "avoid" to me (at least for a few months)...
 
I’m reading most of the bugs/jank come from coop so will be sticking with single player unless they fix it.

If you wasn’t a fan of the first I doubt this game will change that but think it’s harsh to say it’s basically the same.

Turkish Xbox One version is £11.60, you can get it from here: https://www.microsoft.com/tr-tr/store/p/state-of-decay-2-Ön-sipariş/9pjrsk0h5kc6 I got Turkish Lira gift cards from https://www.mtcgame.com but there's probably other places, don't have an Xbox One but with it being a Play Anywhere title it of course then becomes available to play for PC :)

Thanks for that link, it'll come in very handy. I used to buy the gift cards straight off the relevant MS site but that doesn't seem to be working anymore so that site will get around it :TU:

BTW here are some price comparison sites for those who are interested to see what county sells whatever you're after the cheapest.

Jank and all the first one was still a brilliant, fun game, no problem for me if 2 is basically a prettier version of 1 with MP, happy to play through it with my wife :)
 
Damn and I thought them changing engine was supposed to make the game run smoother not worse!
 
So I’ve played this quite a bit now

If you enjoyed the first game you will love this, improves on everything like base building, character depth, dynamic missions, human enemies etc.

If you’re going to buy this for coop I would hold off as it isn’t working properly at the moment.

If you didn’t like the first game I wouldn’t bother with the sequel.

Sounds like pes/FIFA...
 
Despite the glitches and lack of significant overhaul from the first version it's still an amazing and fairly unique gameplay experience. I made a huge mistake last night, my best guy was really tired (stamina down to 1/3 max) but it said if I switched him it'd mean the end of a specific mission, so instead I decided to do the mission and took the Doctor along, it all went terribly wrong and two humans turned on us and killed them both, so my group is down to three, one of the three is injured (and waiting to do a mission of her own when I switch to her), so it's going to be hard to get things back to a thriving community, can't wait to get revenge though, in classic Walking Dead style my first task this morning is to kill the two bastards that took out my people!
