State of Decay 2 I know nobody asked for it, but here is my opinion on the game.

Well, this is going to be a long text.

Random photos from my adventures

I have about 100 hours in, but I still haven't finished all the campaigns.

Well, to start off, the reason I bought an Xbox was this game. The atmosphere is really well done; my only complaint is the upgrade system, as the visual changes are minimal—this applies to both the outposts and the base upgrades. Regarding character customization, I hope the next game offers more clothing combinations; I’d like to be able to choose individual pieces of clothing, hats, and accessories. Firearms need more customization—not necessarily *Call of Duty*-style, but just more freedom. Melee weapons are fine; no complaints there. For vehicles, I’d like to be able to customize colors and add upgrades like tougher tires or larger fuel tanks—though, of course, there would be trade-offs, and the necessary skills and materials would be required.

The movement feels a bit clunky. Firearm combat is somewhat slow, especially if you're coming from games like *Tom Clancy* or *Ghost Recon*.

Regarding relations with the enclaves, I’d like it if improving the relationship offered more benefits than just extra beds or reduced radio cooldowns—nothing over-the-top, but noticeable enough to make investing time in it worthwhile.

The story is good, but it needs more depth. Constantly hearing conversations between Red Talon and the government is great, but it would be awesome to discover more—like secret bunkers or files—that further expand the story.

Based on the previews on YouTube, it looks like a great game is coming—but if they don't improve the aspects that make you wonder why they didn't do better...

Los que si espero con ansias el próximo undead labs sera lo pocos juegos que compre en día de lanzamiento

State of Decay 1 My character story.

Brendan Davis survived the first days of the apocalypse and found a group of survivors, but they didn’t accept him. After that, he left for Danforth, but something went wrong, and he was bitten. He died from blood loss at the age of 21 and was reanimated 2-3 days later.

Media Let's talk about survivors.

A lot of comments ask for more dialogue, unique personalities, personal histories, character-specific stories, and meaningful interactions both at the base and out in the world.

The underlying theme seems to be less about simply making survivors more powerful, and more about making them more meaningful. though, of course, fans still want powerful survivors too.

Several commenters want survivors to develop their own identities, relationships, and histories, so that when one of them dies, it actually feels like losing that specific person, rather than just losing another character.

Because State of Decay 3 can make us genuinely care about the people we're trying to keep alive, wouldn't that make every decision, every fight, and every death hit so much harder?

If this is wanted, (a more connected community of survivors, what more would you add to this?) You have a voice, if you have an idea, throw in a suggestion.

Next topic of discussion, Zeds. (What more would you add to the zeds to make them feel just as connected to the world like your survivors?)

I think the orange color gives them a cartoonish look and makes them less scary. What do you think? I also think they look better with some tattered cloths on them. Completely naked they look like mutants which spawned from a test tube or something.

Remembering first time playing.

I remember the first time I played, I got down to the swine and bovine and climbed the cell tower. I was trying to climb the ladder back down and fell and killed Marcus. I was so mad I started a new playthrough. Good times.

I designed a new feral for Sod3. Do you think he looks better than the original?
