State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition

你大爷的，每次进游戏都要登录发验证码，我不如玩盗版，烦死了靠

State of Decay 2 is a zombie apocalypse game. But the real horror here is Microsoft forcing you to log into Xbox Live just to play a game where you're supposedly able to play single player only. You read that right: even when looking strictly for a a SINGLE-PLAYER GAME experience, it requires a constant internet connection and an active Xbox Live account, because god forbid you enjoy a moment of your one wild and precious life without a tech conglomerate confirming you're still a paying customer. This isn't game design, it's a leash with a controller attached, and the fact that they built an entire zombie survival simulator around "always-online DRM masquerading as a feature" tells you everything you need to know about who they think you are: not a player, data mine node with thumbs. Refund requested. I honestly thought the "Requires 3rd-Party Account: Xbox Live" bit only applied to multiplayer. It applies to single player, too.

Não é o que eu esperava no modo multijogador

I am having to jump through hoops just to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sign in. First, it's using accounts associated with Xbox Live and Microsoft accounts instead of just letting me use my current email to sign in, WHICH IS WHAT THE ACCOUNT WAS UNDER. Then it has me set up a backup email, then switches the main email to that. THEN it tells me I can't verify through my main email because OH, YOUR BACKUP EMAIL IS NOW THE MAIN EMAIL FOR THE ACCOUNT! Too many hoops to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ play a game. I'm thoroughly annoyed. I heard it's a great game, but I'm not seeing it as so great now. Edit: Had to make an entirely new account. Once I was able to finally get it going, it's a fun game, but it's too many hoops. They are using a dated system to have people sign in when they should be running off Steam in general. I get this was an Xbox game, but they had the opportunity to update the sign in system but missed the opportunity. Save your money unless you want to struggle signing in. Edit 2: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! I just made a new account, only for my account to get LOCKED for violating their TOS, and I only played the game once, tonight being only my second time playing. The ♥♥♥♥ did I do wrong!? How can I violate terms of services FOR SIGNING IN using the method YOU HAVE SET UP!? That's literally what it said. "We've detected some activity from your account that violates the Microsoft Service Agreement and have locked your account. This browser is not supported; we recommend you sign in using Microsoft Edge." THE ♥♥♥♥ DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!? THIS IS HOW YOU'RE HAVING PEOPLE SIGN THE ♥♥♥♥ IN, YOU CANNOT PUNISH ME FOR IT!

后期很无聊

[h1]Pros:[/h1] + Sandbox about building communities in zombie apocalypse, ( if you're into games like that with no story and no real end-goal ) + Base/Outpost management + Looting [h1]Cons:[/h1] - Game doesn't have any real story campaign, other than you building your own story - There's no real end-goal other than trying to survive (which is really easy to do unless you max out the difficulty) - Game get dry real fast, only after few hours, after you've cleared out the map of plague hearts - No fast-travel between base/outposts(?) - It's just a sandbox [h1]Conclusion:[/h1] The game is kind of fun to play in smaller dosages, but it doesn't keep you hooked if you're not into games where you build and manage your own community in zombie apocalypse with no end-goal other than surviving in sight. It's not a bad game, not at all. But it got really dry for me after few hours, after clearing my first map from plague hearts and doing busy-work missions just so that those enclaves don't complain if I ignore their missions. The first SoD was great introduction to this franchise, but this sequel kind of falls flat in not pushing the franchise further and evolving more. SoD2 mostly just adds some quality of life features that the first game lacked. The only reason I'm giving this game a thumbs down is, because it didn't evolve enough from the first game. Hopefully the SoD3 (if it ever comes out) will push this franchise further and adds a proper story campaign.
