+1 (Not port begging!)
I really want to try it but I've pretty well given up on my 360 gaming this gen, playing more on my PC and PS3/Vita.
I'm glad it's doing really well for the devs, looks great.

It's pretty popular on Twitch. If you're unsure of what you're getting into, check out a stream.

I'm just pushing buttons. Even though I love XBLA I'm not buying anymore because of a lack of BC. Will wait for PC.

I must be completely out of the loop. I haven't heard about this game until just now.

get it! it's well worth it
I think co-op improves just about every game, but it doesn't feel like I'm missing much here without it. It's already my favorite XBLA game and a ridiculously good value at $20.

Likely to pick it up on PC if it has co op.
I tried the demo on 360, it was just so janky and horrible looking. I watched GiantBomb's quicklook and it did look pretty fun though (and hilarious).

Such a great game! Haven't been this addicted to playing a game in a long while.
Undead Labs was pretty secret about their dev process on the game, other than a few shaky cam pics of the game. I've been following the game since...early 2012, maybe? The process from watching it be Class3 to what is now is really interesting.
Not to mention I'm pretty sure State of Decay launched in the worst window for press. Last of Us hype, approaching E3, etc....Still it's suprising it's doing so well. (Though it could be because Zombies = Sales.)
Actually, no. The game is much more rewarding and enjoyable playing alone.

Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing. Even just have ONE more friend in the same world with you as you do all this stuff sounds like a blast. Hopefully they'll hurry up with the PC version with the success this got on XBL and patch in co-op for both.
Multiplayer would absolutely ruin the experience and make it a crappy game.

The game is a lot of fun. I've been trying to find something to keep me playing and this game has done that. I'm going to go play it some more.

Fuck multiplayer. You guys have DayZ for that. Was nice to see a game of this type that doesn't rely on multi for it to be fun.
Screw you buddy. I liked zombies before they were cool.

Approved.
Really enjoying the time I've spent with it so far. Will happily rebuy on PC. Framerate and various bug fixes would be nice, but I'm really hoping we can mod the game. I have ideas...
Try the demo. It's worth at least 40 for me as I intend to rebuy on PC.
that ain't port begging
I always hate that phrase. "Fastest selling in history." It makes no sense without some frame of reference. Did the very first copy sell faster than the very first copy of any other game? You can't rate something as the fastest anything without a target or some sort of benchmark, such as "fastest to 100,000 copies" or "highest 24 hour average" or something.
It's ridiculous statement.

Considering Night of the Living Dead came out in 1968 and zombie movies/games/books/TV shows have been going strong more or less ever since, I'd say probably never. I love zombies, I don't get sick of them. Not to say there aren't bad zombie games, there are, but there are lots of good ones too.

I think people just had low expectations so it didn't get hyped up. I did hear about it a while ago but forgot until I saw the OT.
oh I know, just saying you don't have to worry about it talking about it in that matter
it's also been announced since day 1, I think

Not my fault! I've personally made two threads about it.
Surprisingly great game. Totally flew under my radar until I saw all the positive impressions on GAF. Great news for Undead Labs.
PC port begging is usually allowed anyways.

CO-OP NOW!
Hmmm. I was JUST looking at this in the marketplace about 15mins ago, and decided it looked too shabby, and that I don't need 'one more zombie game'. Hearing those figures makes me reconsider; I suppose I should at least grab the demo.
Whaaaaaaat is this from. I need to see this film.
One mention of Lego City Undercover though...
Please Bish, no

Not out yet in australia or germany I believe. I think they're trying to get it released but not sure of the details.

Great to hear, the 20-30 dollar games market should open up on consoles with more success.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Live Arcade/PSN is probably the best thing to happen this entire generation. These kind of games would never be able to make retail but at a reduced price point they're perfect for these online distribution platforms.
I'll give that a shot. Was not having luck just trying to drag the ADS gun onto their head though.

I'll play the demo but I'm still waiting for standalone DayZ to fill this niche.
To be fair, its release just sort of happened.

How much of that do they actually get cause doesn't MS get a share of profits from publishing it ?
