So, is this game shit? was it ever finished? or is it classic early access pay for the game before we finish it then we never finish it, typical trash.

It looked interesting and the idea of building a homestead while you get attacked by and murder savage natives appeals to me. Does it deserve any type of time investment? I heard the coop is fun, but i'd only be interested in single player because i don't have any friends.

it's good and fully released now. Savages do regularly attack you and depending on your luck can be pretty hard.

Its finished and actually runs decently. The AI is simple and easy to fuck up and they vary in strength and abilities. Alone its much harder but if you play coop you can pretty much build your own castle and dick around all day. The story if you can call it that is more akin to the Soul series where you have to figure it out yourself but there is an epilogue. Its no minecraft freedom kind of game but it does a lot of things better than other indie shit. Pirate and try it out.

hows the combat? it looks primarily melee. is it light/strong attack and a block? or anything interesting?

>>15899644

harder doesnt bother me, but tedious might. can i still build a giant homestead? can i eventually cleanse the natives? or do they continuously respawn. do they have homes i can burn down and cause them to attack less frequently?

It got released at the beginning of this year so there's no early access meme on it.

The game is ok, not that great but not garbage either. It has quite a few neat things although it's a really easy game because the map and where the items are located never change, meaning that once you spot them and remember where they are (or look it up on the internet) you can get the best of the best within the starting ten minutes.

The more cannibals that you kill and the more days you survive the harder the game gets, so you actually have some sort of "timer" where stuff will eventually get really chaotic if you are not ready. Depending on where you put your base, cannibals patrols may take a few extra days to find you which will start on them attacking your base randomly at night forcing you to defend what you have.

Multiplayer is great but there's little to no tension on multiplayer unlike on singleplayer since dying makes you respawn as a new character and the old corpse can be gathered to obtain all you had before. So as long as you didn't die in a cave that is impossible to reach unless you have X tool (diving suit or climbing for example) you'll have an easy time just going back to it. The only penalty for dying in multiplayer is that you lose your map progression but as I said before, the map never changes so what's the point in caring?

Obtaining resources to survive is only hard at the beginning and later on if you want to build a bigger base it can get rather tedius, even more tedius if you already cleaned the forest around your base and giant cannibals won't let you rest since they like to climb trees and surprise you.

>>15899652

The combat is OK, you either have light and fast attacks or charged heavy hitting ones. You can also block to reduce the damage but you will never negate it, a turtle shell will be the best thing to block with but good luck being able to swap the item you are holding to the turtle just to block fast enough. You can also fight with a torch to put them on fire, most of the cannibals are scared of fire and easily kills them.

You can also have spears which are really good and you can throw them, you can use bows and arrows, granades… Most probably you'll stick with an upgraded axe or the katana for melee combat and a lot of molotov to get rid of those big mutants.

I think theyll spawn all the time and the longer you stay alive the more challenging they get. They live underground and have some primitve shit up above but I havent played it in a while so I dont remember if you can burn down the huts. The only limit to your own homestead is the amount of work and wood you want to put in it

Creator got caught shilling here when it was early, early access. Got buttmad we found out and started laughing and then claimed 'yandere dev was right' and left.

Its actually a good barometer to see how many of the 'i-i've been here for years cuckfugees are full of shit'.

As a game its okay as a proof of concept but The Long Dark does survival better and Far Cry Instincts did the core concepts better like 15 years ago. I'd get it on sale if you are starved for games but its pretty forgettable.

I love it, I've found great places to set up bases with my friends where abnormal mutants never attack. They also had an update planned for December I think, if that hasn't already released. It's also one of the few decent things to do in VR, though I still recommend people hold off on VR for another year. I'm starting to see VIVEs for 300 dollars, but still few games.

Some of us on /v/ should play.

It's just another one of the sea of "survival in the wilderness with building but lookout for the SPOOKUMS". Not worth anyone's time, functionally no different from minecraft.

Wake me up when someone recreates something with the building depth of Factorio in a first-person survival game with GRAFIX. I'd actually be interested to play that, though I'd still shit all over it for being a copy of something else even though it's a copy that I want.

honestly, since i was a kid ive been waiting for a zombie survival game that lets you build a village within an urban, and allow you to scavenge/loot for supplies and recruit stranded people, give them jobs, and have a society that you can build, defend, expand, and improve.

i thought the zombie fad would eventually give me this, instead i got nothing but shit.

this looked like it might be a nice isolated innawoods game to fuck around with. i've given up on getting my ideal survival game

Just pirate the game, most anons here already that have actually played the game gave you enough info to have an idea of what you'll find.

By the way, you upgrade weapons by placing feathers / shards / teeth onto it with a max of 30 and you place them manually wherever you want on the weapon you can even have a little smiley with teeth if you so desire, placing feathers for speed would lower its damage for example, you can upgrade however you want but usually the best is 15/15 like 15 shards 15 teeth.

The 'natives' are degenerated brain-damaged modern people drawn from a very limited population, with no sign that they're still functional enough to breed (and wouldn't repopulate from such a tiny population in realistic time anyway). So you would think this means you could wipe them out after a few hundred kills, but no, they'll just spawn more and more often as you progress.

The entirety of the game is: drag sled back and forth collecting logs and rocks to build with, occasionally get attacked by some retarded AI that spends most of its time running around you, standing still staring at you, and lunge-jumping into the sunset when it's trying to attack you. Cannibals and mutants alike are so easy to run circles around that the game can never truly be hard. You'd need horde numbers of enemies for that, and that doesn't happen.

I got bored real fucking quick, but if you're the autistic builder type you'll probably like it.

>>15899902

Yes, you have many kinds of decoration and totems to scare the cannibals, also traps to kill them or get yourself killed when you forget where they are.

>>15899877

If you play the game you'll realise that there's a certain mutant that won't stop shitting babies and those like to throw themselves at you, it is implied some of these babies end up as mutants or cannibals.

The enemies indeed look retarded just waiting for you to do something and just running around, at the beginning. The more of them that you kill and the more days that passes, the more hostile that they are towards you and will come in numbers trying to kill you, in fact, many of them will come and attack you with tennis balls that are on fire and those are the cannibals alone. The mutants are rather dangerous even when alone, it's far far worse when they come at night with one full tribe of cannibals at your door since mutants usually one shot your walls.

The game IS easy and by refusing to kill cannibals or only killing those in the caves, you make it even easier. However killing everything on sight kinda makes you unlock some sort of hard mode after a few days.

>>15899913

Yes, there are female cannibals too and you can actually tame the cannibals. This is how:

At the beginning you will mostly find cannibals that are starving, those will attack everything on sight you can kill them as long as there's not a single cannibal around that is not a starving one.

Look for cannibals that are not starving ones as fast as possible with a stick, get close to them but not that close, watch them move around and shout, sometimes you will get attacked all you have to do is block.

If you repeat this process for a few days, cannibals will only scream at you but not see you as an enemy, thus never attacking you except if they are starving or if there's a mutant commanding around. Within a few extra days, there will be no starving cannibals and the chances of you getting attacked after taming them is really really low.

However I have not tried if the taming still works after killing those in the caves since I found that boring and may as well play on the easiest difficulty that has no cannibals.

Originally, the game allowed you to exterminate them such that they didn't respawn, meaning you were rewarded for successful gameplay. Strange that the final version broke that.

What's the story? What's the purpose? My problem with all these "survival" games is that they're always infinite in length with finite supplies, so your REWARD for being the best player in the world is to die and fail, every time. The Long Dark is comfy as FUCK in the survival mode, but there's no end-game and eventually your food runs out and you freeze to death.

There are a moderate amount of decorations. Skull lamps are probably the single most interesting one, and make otherwise bland rooms look pretty good. Not enough variety to hold my attention long, though.

>>15899913

They can be cute enough, but somehow they didn't build a rape simulator into their mainstream as fuck game. No mods for it AFAIK, but I haven't checked.

>>15899924

I never got the impression that those babies were supposed to survive. They're malformed embryos which don't even have limbs.

Mutants get stuck so easily I stopped feeling threatened after the first few.

>>15899925

The story is, "Your plane didn't crash, it was actually shot down by an alien laser. The bad men who found and operated the laser went insane from other alien shit or were killed by insane colleagues and mutants. The head bad man shot the plane down so he could use an alien machine to revive his dead daughter with your son, but it turned her into the biggest mutant instead. You shoot down another plane to sacrifice another child to resurrect your own son, then he turns into the biggest mutant while you're on a talk show about your amazing survival. shoulda stayed in your hut lol"

Everything in the game bar (I think?) some ammo for the easter egg gun is infinite, so you can survive indefinitely very easily. It's incredibly boring, however, so you won't.

Pirated it a year ago or something, it was pretty cool. Solo can be challenging, especially if you don't use guides to look up the best base locations, best item locations, etc. It's far more satisfying to look for that shit on your own. Listening to the music tapes when you're delving into the deep caves with your trusty ax is pretty cool. Game can be fairly spooky, Ai has some interesting quirks and behaviors. Again, the game is best played solo and without guides for the most interesting experience. Coop seems like it's more for just fucking around than actually fighting to survive.

Anonymous 12/21/18 (Fri) 20:02:58 cab48a No.15900448

It gives you a nice false sense of security out in the world, but in those creepy caves wew It's dark, it's creepy, it can be spoopy.

The game also gets constant updates, latest update I saw the average family of cannibals go from 4 - 8 that run around in the world.

It also does have a full story which I recently completed and it as spoopy. They changed it from hat it used to be, and they've said they'll keep changing the game, more stuff is always added, for the price I'm very happy it.

It's so comfy to have a house boat fully kitted out, catapults built on top ammo storage, paddling around blowing the fuck out of cannibal and mutant freaks from a safe watery distance. It's so comfy.

He was posting screenshots from a unreleased devbuild that was a later version than the public one showing stuff that didnt end up in any build of the game. Got super passive aggressive when people started to cotton on and said "is OP actually the dev genuinely shilling his product? are we getting gearboxed?" and he kind of lost his fucking mind.

And then this thing comes up from behind and pushes your shit in. All your women are too weak from constant intercourse to assist you. As it thrusts it's spike into you you finally get a taste of your own medicine. Was it all worth it?

It's worth it to capture a Virginia with all those holes and titties it has and sexy lady legs. Remember to cut off the head of an Armsy though and Virginia in the game as if you don't, they can mutant, separate and half of the body can get back up again and attack you after you think you've killed it.
