THIS THREAD IS MINE, ALL MINE... Ok, no, but this is silly...
Anyway, this came out this morning, on XBLA (PC is in a few months, I think) for ~$20 or whatever that is in MSBux.
So, you start out on a fishing trip as one character with a tag along AI friend. Eventually going to a ranger station, you are enlisted to help them. pick up another AI friend, this one, you can switch to playing as her, if you want. Blah, blah, stuff happens, you move to a church in the nearby town as your base for now. Do some missions, like climb a cell tower to scout for places that might have supplies. missions to retrieve those supplies, going to rescue others you've called in as runners if they get caught in a horde of zombies, that kind of thing.
I was on a mission to go get some supplies, on the way home, I decided to check out a house. Bad fucking idea, I got my character, Maya, ripped to bits. Genius move. So, it shoots me back to the church as another character (this time, the original character, Marcus) So I decide to go retrieve Maya's pack of supplies, and her personal equipment. Also, again, a bad idea. But that comes later. On the way there, I go back to a plce I know has supplies, call in a runner on the radio, drive off in a car. Forget engines are loud, alerting zombies. So, I have to go back and rescue the hell out of that runner. This goes fine. Then I go to pick up Maya's shit, forgetting how many zombies were there the first time... Get torn to hell. And because I've not done enough missions to satisfy any other characters to have high enough trust in me, That was the end of that game.
So, yeah, play it smart, park within walking/running/stealthing-slowly-through-bushes distance of your objective, if you must drive. thank god there are not many zombies hanging about the church itself. and even then, they tend to follow your car as your car is the noise maker. and depending on the distances, don't fucking drive!
Course, they have home made supressors for guns, but no home made mufflers or something for cars.
I forsee several horrible things like this happening to me in the future, as this game is horribly addicting.
Haven't downloaded an Arcade game in a while. This is totally worth it. Now, just hope the TMNT and DuckTales HD Arcade games are good, too.
