So... Has anyone tried this yet? It's an open-world zombie survival game where you have to hunt for supplies and try to keep your group alive. Except the only thing that ever respawns is the zombies. Once you clear out a house, there'll never be any more food in it, if you wreck ever car in town, you have to go everywhere on foot. If one of your group members takes too much damage, they permadie.
It's got a lot of bugs and whatnot, but it's an ambitious new take on a pretty overdone genre of games that manages to pull it off pretty darn well.

My friend who works at the local liquor store gave it a pretty strong endorsement. I'll probably end up trying it at some point.

I'll check it out too. Hopefully it won't end up like The War Z...

Under our old system, you'd get an exalt for that George Carlin reference.
Seriously, though. EVERY FUCKING TIME, I come across zombie MMOs, I run into a gank-fest where I have to deal with chuckleheads say "durr... it's survival. this is how people turn in this situation... derp". Now I have almost no faith in humanity whatsoever, but I don't see people going around and killing at random lasting very long. They'd piss off way too many people.

I'm loving how the game's going for me right now. Out of my initial group of three survivors, I got the leader killed testing myself against a zombie hoard with only a 2x4, his friend died from a zombie bite because I put off the story mission where you bring a doctor back to base to go scavenge supplies instead, and the remaining character has become one of my key fighters.
I've cleared out the starting town more or less, as well. No more food. Which means I'm going to have to hit the road and relocate my base to another part of the county soon. Just like The Walking Dead, but with actual gameplay!
