Why didn't >you people tell me about this kino?
>survival crafting experienceI don't have brain problems.
>>731133331I did tell you it was shit
Because it's a game you need friends for so nobody here has played it
i love this game
>>731133468It's perfectly fine solo except for the bullet sponge final boss
We had quite a few fantastic threads about it while everyone played through. Highly recommend, friend or not, but it does have an ending, so it'll probably be hard to get threads going about it since most people finished already.
/v/ shits and pisses itself over hunger bars and crafting.
>>731133331People bring it up semi regularly
So I was pumpin iron the other day...
>>731133680yeah was great, even survived the people crying about "shills"
>>731133331very fun game. wish nights were a bit more of a threat and base raids weren't total non-events. time to spend a penny perhaps
We did, you didn't listen.Now you are late to the party.It's fine though, the game is perfectly playable solo.
>>731133928Are there any decent mods for this?
>>731134004theres a mod that makes the raids more difficult from what ive seen but i havent tried it out
>>731133928the witches broke a bunch of expensive crafts in my base reeeee
>>731133331It’s really fun, I’ve finished it now so I’ve done everything and there’s really no incentive for me to do another run, when I do boot it up now it’s usually just to build and decorate my base or set up little camps

>>731133331You wouldn't fuck a penguin would you /v/?
>>731133468Solo is perfectly fine which separates it from actual friendslop. Lets you progress the story at your own pace and you can craft what you want instead of farming stuff again.
survival crafting game if he good
>>731134214It has digital aids.
If you plan to to play this game Solo i heavily recommend only grabbing what you need.. I see a lot of people burnout becasue they start dismantling everything they find which just grinds the game to a halt..Also try not to dismantle the rooms aesthetically as you will get bored fast just running through empty rooms and it kills the immersionIf you wanna do building projects think small and cram a lot of stuff into a small space
>>731133772you look at this UI >>731135196 and tell me it is okay. hell no. i am not playing a game with shit meters. this is a poor man's half life
>>731133468Simply not true. I've done two playthroughs with my brother and enjoyed them greatly, but I genuinely believe solo is the better experience. It's absolutely mandatory for a first playthrough. Being solo so you can build your base however you want, take your time, experience sections like Flathill alone and a bunch of other stuff just feels really important to me.
>>731135462i actually have it at like 0.25% or something.. you can actually disable it entirely, which i did at the beginning
>>731135196>cram a lot of stuff into a small spaceThat's not really possible if you want to cook, farm.etc though
>>731134954That's what condoms are for silly
>>731133772>over hunger bars and crafting>game world have fucking sliders to ajust the shit for solo play
>>731133331It was nominated for this year's /v/gas, so people on /v/ are aware of it.
>>731135462>this is a poor man's half lifeThe half life comparisons stop at voicelines and a little bit of the art style.
Levels' interconnections and loops are fucking brilliant. Survival mechanics are dogshit
>>731135676>If you wanna do building projects think small and cram a lot of stuff into a small space.You need to read it all in its entirety for context..i didnt say that you'r base should be small but keep the building projects like the image i posted small and simple so that you dont burnout
>>731133772hunger bars do suck ass objectively. i do not like needing to stop having fun every 30 minutes to click an inventory item and make the bar go back up. survival bars are always either a boring annoyance or a crippling tedium, no inbetween.
>>731133331It's fotm and you missed the month.
it's last year's goty
>>731133331Because (You) missed the period of time where there were plenty of threads on the game.
>>731136979GRENADARENADA
>>731133468It's literally a "it's worse with friends" games unironically, playing with friends on your first playthrough undermines all the cool reveals
>Dr. Derek Manse reporting, Research Director, GATE Cascade Research Facility.>For some reasons I'm still unclear about, Keystone decided to outsource most of our containment duty to India, most likely to cut on cost.>I was unsurprised then, to find out that containment procedures have been completely overlooked or outright ignored.>IS-0102 was left in the open, infecting several thousands people, and an small piece of IS-0154 was used as a paperweight in some dubious [REDACTED] call center.>But what I found particularly more damning, is that their careleness seemed to have undeniably damaged or otherwise destroyed some of those anomalies, potentially permanently.>For instance, IS-0013 is now filled with cow dung, IS-0223 was sexually assaulted repeatedly, IS-1057 is now brown, IS-0083 no longer work after being dumped in the Ganges, IS-0138 is now suffering from an overcrowding problem, and more.>This cannot be allowed to continue, I will send a strongly worded letter to Keystone about this in the coming days.
is it true it runs like shit because its on UE5?
>>731137451It runs okay, and it would have ran great if it wasn't on UE5.Disabling Lumen instantly giving an extra 30 or more FPS is insane.
great game, exploring the lab and unlocking new sectors was a consistently great experience
>>731138307I usually bounce off of survival crafting games because they just go for a generic open world format, but the facility was really excellently designed.
>>731138586it's more of a metroidvania than open world
>hey guys lets make our game look RETROOOOOO like Half Life xD>but let's also make it in unreal slop engine 5 so that it can look like shit AND run like shit at the same time :3Not even gonna bother pirating.
>>731133331I played this solo completely blind, kinda feel it would've been great with a friend who also going in first time.Some of the parts were so fucking scary to me tho, like i have bad thalassophobia and i did only one trip to the dam which i survived only by putting the sound off and hugging the ground
felt like the game started to drag on after the halfway point, how did 1.0 turn out?
>>731138903the fish just wants friends why are you so heartless
>>731134214why did they add this dumb ass penguin in the game
>>731133331I tried it but the movement and crafting system just doesn't appeal to me much.I don't know if it is the fact the introduction is a bit messy, if the movement system is clunky or if the first combat with that dog thing felt like it lasted just a little bit too long... I just don't vibe with it at all.
>>731133331You are six months late. This game was played extensively and shilled to death over the summer.
>People who hate survival love it>People who love survival hate itYou cant create a sustainable base and you're not rewarded for creating much of a base anyway. Oh and the spot you chose? 80% of people choose that spot as well.You explore, raid, bring back, mass-dump items, move out, repeat. It's closer to lethal company than green hell.
>>731135196>base builder>dont build baseGREAT GAME!!!
>>731141860How is Green Hell?
>>731137451volumetric fog is the only problem child, everything else is perfectly fine if you're not on a 10xx carddisabling lumen makes the game look like total shit, and not in the "now it looks authentically like half life" kind of shit, just actual shit
I did, I've made at least three threads about this game in the past.
It was a fun game, better with 1 or 2 friends as long as they are not people who go full retard without reading or listening to anythingIt does need a lot of work still, it has potential to be much more fun but a lot of its systems are still too shallow, like the base raidsThere should be way more puzzles and situations that you can solve with "science", besides building a nice base lasers are a complete waste that could have been used for a lot of puzzles besides the singular super simple one that you don't even need to do.i know that the average person today is retarded but not giving more puzzles that needed to interact with the construction system of the game or with more player creativity is a total waste
>>731133331this looks like a poor man's project nortubel
>>731141323The Penguin is completely option-Wait, you actually need some of the materials from that video game world, right?Shit.
>>731142617i can't quite place where this base is from the floor and it's kind of driving me nuts
>>731142617please free them
>>731142835technically no, digital gold is used for a lot of high-tier stuff, but none of it is mandatory
>>731143031then it's mandatory. also i have autism
>>731143104frankly, it really isn'tyou're not gonna be hurting that much without the stuff you make from it unless you really want reactor armor or the plasma sword
>>731142871
>>731133331game is great but i wish the solution to 99% of progression wasn't "you need to craft X using components found in Y zone to get to Z". the game could have really used some puzzles
>>731143801i have almost 300 hours in this game and I still have no clue where this is
the dark zone was a joke. fuck the grim reaper i'm stronger
>>731144179
>raids are piss easy to fight off >can just shut off portal raids>jetpack is worse than long jump>some base locations are just too good>cant repair broken windows in your badeMy buddy and I loved the game but there are a lot of head scratchers in this one
I'm playing it now just got to the fungal zone for the first time it's fun but I can only play like an hour or two before it gets tedious. A lot of "you need 5 glorpos to craft the flinbo you need to progress"
>>731133331Friendslop
>>731146539Better alone.
>>731146693the cope of the friendless
>>731133331It had nonstop threads for weeks after full release. It was very popular here. It took like 2 months for people to move on.
>>731146860Nah, I played with friends but it's just not the same. You miss the story entirely because you're mostly just fucking around with your friends.
>>731146860I'm bald and old frfr. Back in my days we didn't play video games with friends like some shut in nerds.
>>731137220I'm playing with 2 friends and we are definitely not paying that much attention to the story. A few blurbs and there, but we are skipping some of the exposition.Game is fun for dicking around with friends though, and it was already decent to begin with, so it's good.>>731137451It runs like shit for what it is, so it averages out to ok.
>>731146964i played it with an autistic friend and we listened to each recording together and read all emails (sad that you can't use the terminals while your friend is using them)
>>731145683i should have figured out hydroponics from the green glow leaves in the background of the first imagei think because i so rarely even go to fragments i just could not place it
>>731135462it is ok though
>>731133331It's fun, and I should go back to finish it. Highest point for me was making it out of Silent Hill with all of the arcade games making me like 3x overencumbered.
>>731151030I hated playing with friends because they would always collect the annoying arcade cabinets and tv's then spam them around the base constantly blaring their annoying sounds.
>>731133331It's boring
>>731133331there's at most 1 thread at any time and people just have comfy discussion about basesnot that much to discuss now that 1.0 came out and everyones beaten it, just have to wait for the next update
>>731151179Ask them to stop or turn it off?
>>731151179destroy the noise makers, tell them that pests did it
>>731133468factually wrongt. friendless
>>731151030the roll skill from sneak is a fucking life saver>carrying an entire house in your backpack>maximum encumbrance>zero stamina recovery>just fucking roll everywhere bro
>>731151030took me a second to realize that was oppenheimer and not scooby1961
idk how you play through this whole thing with friends my 2nd playthrough when I knew what I was actually doing still took like 50 hours to 100% achievements
>>731133331It's only kino inside the base. Outside it's not so kino. But still good.
>>731151443i hosted the server so i could go farm shit by myself without the tard friends using up all my digital gold on mundane shit, and we'd only play together when going to progress the story since they dont have as much interest in grinding/farming
>>731151443it takes a long time, me and my friend marathon'd it over a christmas week where we just played like 8-9 hours a day and it was about 60 hours, although we'd both done separate playthroughs alreadyif we actually wanted to speedrun it's not like it'd be hard since multiplayer doesn't scale the spawns if you're already on Apocalyptichaving one person grabbing a mystagogue's aggro while the other blows his back out with a bullcharged carbon pickaxe makes them actually tolerable
> built his base in office sector security hall
>>731142617leyak's cousin is so hot
>>731133331we had a bunch of threads.
>>731133331Man, I tried. Game of the decade or more for me. Just pure bliss gaming from start to finish. Thought I hated gaming anymore, or I was just depressed or something.Turns out the games just sucked.Abiotic Factor is fucking great, and I'm only sad it's over.
how do you solve the food problem? i'm sick of going back to earlier areas to hunt for peccaries for meat soup
>>731153884Just grow super tomatos. 15food/10water per.
>>731133331>StreamSlop
>>731133468It plays perfectly fine solo, it's actually spookier and more challenging that way. Only thing you need to do is adjust the stack size since you don't have extra players to haul loot.
>>731153884Just grab whatever food you find while you explore and make other soups, salt + peas is a good one, there are a ton moreotherwise just plant what you need for some soups that use only vegetables
>>731153957What is this new zoomer 'insult'?
>>731141964Dogshit
>>731153884convice a friend to play with you, and them put him in farming/cooking jail
>>731154517...i'm the chef
>>731154601well now you're also the gardener
>>731133331I love this game but I always bounce off after security. It feels like youre supposed to play solo up to that part and then right after that make it multiplayer and go crazy with bases and weapons and shit
>>731153884>>731153940Xanterium Rice gives 20 food each, and 4 servings per pot. Plus you can stack it unlike soups.Granted, super tomatoes can be eaten directly without boiling.Keep in mind that once a plant is ripened it stops consuming water until you harvest it.
>>731153884Just make MRE soup.
>>731154834you can beat the game solo with default settings, nothing in it requires you to play with friends
>>731154101It's just some zoomer with no friends mad people are enjoying a game.
>>731155027I get that, but progression slows down a lot, and the direction of the game opens up such that it seems more directed at multiple teams going in multiple directions
>>731133331it's good but it's also pretty demanding. by the time you get teleporters to not make navigating the complex a slog, you've basically reached the end. You need friends for this one. I cant even imagine playing it solo.
>>731155104>splitting upuhh what the heck don't you want to see everything? even teams should go together
>>731155023>Granted, super tomatoes can be eaten directly without boiling.Yeah, that's why I like them. Just stack them up in the freezer and much 5 or 10 when you get hungry and off you go.Boiling soups is efficient, but its a lousy use of time when I could be out collecting shiny objects.
>>731155331>ESLNevermind
>>731155485i'm right Though
