I heard the first game was an absolute mess and probably abandonware.

I enjoyed the 1st game. Nice open world and forests.

When the zombies grabbed you they literally tore you apart.

I liked the first game - though it felt a bit lacking without co-op support.

I've been looking forward for this game since I heard it was going to have co-op......Sadly, I'll pass on this game since it's only supported by Windows 10 and I haven't wasted my money on a console since the PS2 days. I've had enough headaches with what Windows 10 updates have done to my HTPC that I don't care to put it on my gaming computer.

Yeah the no MP or Coop was a slap to the face... i was following the development of for a couple years before it was released, then it was no thank you, no mp for you! I believe they also promised being able to choose how you character looked, but it was also scrapped for the community based gameplay.

Ill probably pick the second game when it hits Steam at around 10 Buck.

You were misled. They supported it for years, and then even released an updated Day One version 2 years later, so not abandoned. Also, it was popular (very positive reviews and well over 1 million sales), and is very moddable.

The only “downside” was that it was only SP. I don’t consider that a downside though, since they invested in a fairly lengthy story.

Americans will love it to blow up someone's brains up.

And the rest of the planet plays only puzzle adventure games? Puhlease...

Not me, looks like a bore-fest. "Weee, more zombie games!"
You keep on telling yourself that, though, if it makes you feel good about your own country.

16GB space requirement isn't very promising in terms of detailed open-world experience. I hope it's not just a small upgrade from the first game.

Remember, they created it for the Xbox and ported it over. Hopefully they did well with the port and actually allow decent graphical setting options. MS needs the game to run well on the Xbox first and foremost. In the pictures in the OP, all that motion blur in the third picture hurts my eyes and the fourth one reminds me of PUBG.

Also, all the zombies look very glossy in those pictures - maybe you won't notice it if you're actually playing the game?
