I'm waiting on mine from TRU. Wish I had it now but I'm just grateful I'm seemingly one of the few people they didn't fuck over.

Because that's the death mechanic in the game. When you die, that survivor becomes a zombie. You respawn as a new survivor at the Safe House.
If you hadn't died, you would start at that save point, however. So there is a point to it.
And if you didn't lose your backpack after dying a second time, there would essentially be no penalty in death aside from retreading old ground. The game would lose some tension.

This game is amazing. Another zombie game getting strange unwarranted hate from certain review sites.

Some hilarious comments on Miiverse. I especially like that one that says "Gamespot: 4.5/10 because we can't play! [scriggly face]"

Really trying to enjoy the game but it's really frustrating when I'm doing great early on and
Just seemed really cheap and put my off to the game. I'm gonna give it another shot though.
then get killed defending the safe house by a random horde. I killed about 4 zombies and then 2 more decide to come from outta nowhere and kill my ass.

Take a screenshot of that, PLEASE!
Definitely the part that frustrated myself and my wife the most on our playthrough(s). I'd say the bet is to not to get yourself cornered. Best strategy I found:
If you can manage to get yourself near the fence that you can slide under to the right coming out of the safe house, zombies will try to crawl under. While they're crawling, you can OHKO them
Really that part taught me not to back yourself into a corner and to not be afraid to use the gun when you need to. Trying to melee more than one zombie is trouble, more than two is suicide.

Yeah, posted in the release day thread, but played a bit of it and Im having a great time thus far! I love survival games like this!

I really like the look of this game from the videos I've watched. Have a feeling it'd be up my alley. If I bought a WiiU this'd be the game I pick up for sure.
My opinion of the game has pretty much been reversed by now. Critics mauling it was worrying, but these loads upon loads of positive user reactions don't really need any further analysis.
You guys are making my wait unbearable, fuck EU release date.
Also, I decided to buy NSMBU because prices for Nintendo software usually stay high while Ubisoft games drop pretty fast.. but
I don't know what to do, I've been waiting for a zombie game like this FOREVER.
I think I'll wait for someone to finish the game and see how long it takes and how replayable it is..
PS: Also, Ubi € prices... 70€ (90$) or NSMBU at 60€...

God I can't wait. My newegg order finally shipped. So can't wait to play it. Seems that most are loving it. Doesn't surprise me one bit.
I had a lieutenant (didn't say in what) that last about 5 minutes, now I have a 31 year old consultant (love the career detail) and she's survived nearly 3 hours so far, now I'm nervous turning every corner, losing her would be a pretty big blow. This game is great, you always feel week, one of the most memorable moments I've had so far was reloading a mounted gun while a horde was rushing me down. that was intense

The 30th can't come soon enough!!! I'm planning on completing both the Single player game on the Hard difficulty setting and Survivor Mode with the crosshairs turned off lol.
GT have given it 65, unbelievable.

Your eyes aren't wrong
Same problem in AC 3 as well
The devs just need to make the game with darker contrasts

Yeah, I really want to "believe", but I've felt nothing but disappointment by so many games this year that were supposed to offer up the kind of gameplay I typically enjoy the most. The Resident Evil franchise in general was my favorite series up until RE5, having played all of them. The only game that came close to replicating that series this gen would have been the first Dead Space.
Anyway, my system and game should be here tomorrow, so I'll see!
How big is the eshop version? debating if i wanna download it, or go to the 24 hour wal-mart for it tonight.
Oh man I think I broke someone's heart tonight. They aren't a gaffer as far as I know but someone's zombie was teleported into my game with a 6900 survival score needless to say with mucho ammo and they were blocking my path of continuing so someone lost a lot of loot.
Current Survivor is a Major General so I feel pretty good lol

From the video review, it looked like they only played the first 15 minutes of it or something. I watched another video with a bunch of random clips and there were a lot of different weapons and locations and stuff. I think they were just lazy.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Damn 6900?!?!? I bet you that guy was fricken pissed when he found out his previous self was gone :lol. I know I would have been. You should have taken a pic and miiverse'd it just to gloat!

yea newegg haha
Yeah I couldn't believe it when I saw it. character was glowing red etc. It was literally standing in front of a door I needed to go through so there was no being nice and letting it live.
Wow this is intense. I was doing pretty well with my survivor until the damn
. Then they just dropped like flies. On number four now with my highest score at the moment being 1090. My own fault I think. I could have handled it better thinking back
. I am glad the handgun upgrades stay. Gotta remember to keep upgrading that just in case.
I can only take so much of this game at time. Put over an hour into it already. Think I'll play some more tomorrow. I am enjoying it though
attack on the safe house
My own fault I think. I could have handled it better thinking back
could have made better use of the mines I had. Also there was one spot where I was doing well at the end by hitting the zombiesas they were climbing over one of the counters. Allowed me to hit them down and then finish them off right after.

Like it a lot so far. Wife was watching me play so I was moving kinda fast. Thought she'd get bored if I went slowly. Bad move. I went through about 5 peeps pretty quickly.
She's just gonna have to get used to caution and care, my friends, caution and care.
And the push move is a life saver.
Gonna restart since I'm not too far in and play fo' reals this time.

Thanks. Too bad but I really like the look and feel they created would be awesome to have more interaction in a sequel.

It's really nice to see this game doing well for itself. Some of the design decisions seem kind of bold given the target audience, and I like to see that kind of ambition rewarded.

King of Zombies mode is brilliant.
My only complaint is that Ubisoft didn't include proper online
multiplayer. I guess that's for ZombiU 2.

So how does this work specifically?
I know when you die you can go back and kill your old self to get your stuff. But I'm curious as to when your old zombie self goes into the worlds of other players. Is that character in all worlds until they are killed by somebody and then that person gets their stuff? So basically first person to them, you or someone else, gets the goods?

Hey guys, do you know where those pictures from "Me as a Zombie" go? Is there anyway to download them or something?

After 7 hours and 42 minutes, my first survivor bit the dust in Buckingham Palace. Here's to Elijah Smith - it strangely felt bad having to bash his head in to get my stuff back.
Survivor #2 (Molly) is currently at the three hour mark. We'll see if she can beat Elijah in life expectancy.

Bought this on the eShop. About 5.6 Gigs. That was a SLOW download. Took about 4 hours, I think. I'm glad the Wii U handles downloads so well in the background, so we could at least play other stuff. The install, on the other hand... 30 minutes and you can't do anything while that's happening? Nintendo giveth and Nintendo taketh, I guess.
As for the game... fantastic. This is exactly what I expected and what I wanted. It reminds me so much of Condemned; a game that I feel was massively under appreciated. If you liked Condemned, I think it's safe to say you'll love this.

This is good to hear. I haven't played it yet, but I was kinda getting a condemned vibe from this. I love first person games that are deliberate in pace, so immersive. This looks to me like Condemned/Dead Island/Dark Souls rolled into one, and that's fine by me.
The day I pick up a WiiU, whenever that is, this is the game I'm buying with it.
I died multiple times during the first zombie mini-horde attack ;p. Although the cheesy strategy of running to this one area, closing the door and standing next to the partially open sliding metal door worked wonders as you clobber zombies on the head as they crawl through.
So is the best strategy for weapon upgrades is to use them all on the handgun since that is the only weapon you respawn with?
