@undeadpool: I think the most underrated quicklook pairing is excited Patrick and begrudgingly interested Jeff.

EDIT: A Half Hour in and this game has become State of Decay: Ghost Truck Origins

Amazing how guys who have played so many video games still miss basic video game prompts such as where the next mission is.

I've been seeing the word "janky" a fair amount in relation to this game, but it hasn't seemed that bad to me. YMMV, as always, but I've mainly just seen quirks typical to most open world games.

Holy Shit. This is Cataclysm: DDA!

Permadeath, permanent resources, NPC allies, building construction, scavenging, crafting, vehicles...

The only thing that seems to be missing is vehicle mechanics. And mutations and cyborg bionics, but still.

Wow. I implore anyone who's interested in this open-world zombie survival premise to check out the Cataclysm website, it's a free, open-source roguelike that a handful of people are actively developing, and there's going to be a Kickstarter soon to hire one of our developers full-time.

Here's a screenshot for the curious:

We're almost to 0.6 now, though.

Hold the fucking phone. Leave it to Vinny to make the ace comparison.

Freedom Fighters in an open world with zombies. Amazing.

Hope the PC development is quick and smooth.

Missed the live stream? I archived the chat to demonstrate that it could be done! Check it out here and read how I did it and give me feedback here. Demo will take a moment to load the comments.

This game looks pretty damn amazing. I will definitely check this out when it comes to the PC.

I'm surprised that Vinny and Brad seemed decidedly lukewarm towards it.

About 2 mins in, Vinny should be in every quick look.

This looks pretty awesome actually. This is the type of game I don't mind inventory space in, but you have 2 dudes with you. Is there a way to access their inventory that the guys just didn't notice?

Its always painful to watch them fumble around and not understand things when it says right on the screen what they are supposed to do. Anyway, the game looks neat but it's a shame there's no online. Game looks like it would have been super fun to play co-op. Maybe they will add that in for the PC release.

Do you like Dead Rising? Its a lot like that but "less" janky and no annoying force time gameplay. Not sure if they got into it in the quick look ( had to leave at the end of the live stream \) but their a building system for your home camp. The game is awesome, i vote yes.

Caught this one live! Giantbomb is so much better live, way better than their studio work. It's so much more raw being there you know, not like all those bullshit drum machines and auto tune effects they use. Fucking brad can't stay in key and patrick's rhythm is terrible, but hey that live music for ya.
