[QUOTE=NoobSauce;44952423]Alright, what are the overall opinions? Are people treating this game like a finished product? Does this game have potential? I plan on buying it soon to try it out.[/QUOTE] The game has amazing potential in my opinion, what they have so far is quite a solid foundation.

[QUOTE=NoobSauce;44952423]Alright, what are the overall opinions? Are people treating this game like a finished product? Does this game have potential? I plan on buying it soon to try it out.[/QUOTE] Bit buggy, some areas are nicely polished and unique like the inventory. Definite potential. It depends on the updates on wither this crashes and burns or becomes a fantastic title by the looks of it.

Holy fuck this game. [sp] Was building some tiny base, constantly watched by the muties. I decided to go fishing and I heard footsteps around me, thought nothing of it but quickly realized the cannibals were swarming around me just chilling. I decided to go up to one of them, he proceeds to whack me in the face with a club and the rest decided to jump in and knock me out. Woke up in that cave, killed one of them with the flare gun and made my back home. Later on I saw about 10 of them walking up to my tiny home, I panic and try to back away but I set my self on fire by walking over my campfire and try to put it out by jumping off a cliff and missing the water, killing me. [/sp]

It's nice to see people understand this game is under development. I'm watching a stream right now and this looks fantastic and hard to believe it's an alpha. If this is somehow alpha material, then imagine what it will be like as a finished product! I'm definitely going to support this game and buy it later.

Ignoring everything that's been posted so far, don't want spoilers. Just wanted to say that I ended up going to the bathroom during my math class so I could make sure to buy the game on my phone so it would be ready when I got home.

Can the AI swim?

I thought mutants were supposed to only really come out at night?

Tried to build a hut, got knocked out and taken to a cave. Try to build another hut, get killed. Jesus, they should give you some time to get established rather than getting your shit pushed in 30 seconds into the game

It's cool how there are multiple/random starting locations

[QUOTE=An Armed Bear;44952529]I thought mutants were supposed to only really come out at night?[/QUOTE] It doesn't have to be night, no, although it seems they do hunt in big packs at night though.

How about stop buying early alpha products expecting a game that works and has features...I don't understand how i'm continually surprised by the stupid people on there.

This is like the one game I've played where my massive amount of paranoia is actually justified.

can you plant seeds for trees and other plants?

After multiple attempts a grace period during the first day would be lovely.

[QUOTE=Dr.Fragg;44952635]After multiple attempts a grace period during the first day would be lovely.[/QUOTE] I have a way to incorporate it into the story: The mutants were scared of the loud crashing sounds, but became curious after a period of no contact.

Whats with all the other assholes on that plane who managed to set up tents, unpack and just leave you there, in the plane...which was about 10ft away.

very first go through [sp]I walked out of the plane and there were mutant people climbing the trees already, survived 1 day. [/sp] second run through [sp] ran from the plane found a bunch of body parts on sticks, built a log cabin near the rocks beside it. A random guy came up, killed him, heard the screams of his counter parts, and then a day later they disappeared. Went looking for stuff, found landmarks, died, fell through cave floor, survived 7 days. [/sp]

Does the game become extremely laggy after the first day for anyone else? I had a pretty solid camp up with enough food for days, but I quit due to the unbearable lag. I can play it on highest fine, until after the first day. Even on the lowest settings it's still super laggy.

[QUOTE=Kommodore;44952527]Can the AI swim?[/QUOTE] If "walking into the water" counts as swimming, then yes :v: General impression so far: It's definetely an alpha. It's pretty buggy, but just the usual stuff. Dupe glitches, infinite ammo on the flaregun, multiple items in hand, floating objects... Nothing too big, really. Generally though, I like it. The AI is REALLY solid. - First time [sp]they flat out murdered me without a hint of doubt.[/sp] - Second time [sp]they left me alone, I hardly saw any of them during the day. At night about EIGHT of them came out of nowhere, one of them had skulls on sticks attached to his back, and they just landed blow after blow on me until I fainted.[/sp] - Third time [sp]I saw one cannibal who just kinda chilled. I hid, but he noticed me and started inching closer. When he saw it was me, he began landing hits, and I managed to take him out. The same night I get stalked by 2 other cannibals (didn't even attack, they just followed me). They eventually got the drop on me and I died.[/sp] They REALLY need to add some sort of ambient sounds though. My mind was going numb from the lack of stimuli after a while since all I did was chop wood. Also the graphics weren't as pretty as the screenshot painted them to be, at least not the ground and stuff. Trees were okay, characters are great - but the rocks and ground? Meh... Still good! I'd say it was worth the wait! Gonna be cool to see the future updates!

Is the game using CryENGINE? They way it looks makes it look like CryENGINE. I'm pretty bumped that I can't get the game for a long time. Really wanted to dig into the game and enjoy something like that game.

[QUOTE=Mr cake fingers;44952684]Whats with all the other assholes on that plane who managed to set up tents, unpack and just leave you there, in the plane...which was about 10ft away.[/QUOTE] Remember that this is supposed to be a North American forest - not a desert island. People go camping in the forests. Those tents are from people who went out camping. At least that's how I figured it was. I also had tents pretty close by.

Just bought the game. I'm downloading now, Will do a stream when I got it finished DLing.

God damn it I was making a nice house and then they surrounded me and now I'm stranded on a Yacht . LEAVE ME ALONE

Also, sincerely sorry I fucked up the tags on last page <3

killed a seagull 10/10

Did anyone try out the traps yet? Or the the raft?

[QUOTE=Glitchman;44952850]killed a seagull 10/10[/QUOTE] killed a hundred birds they just kept. coming. BACK.

-snip- Graphics problems

It took a bit until I realized that I had a mutant head in my hands instead of a rock.:v: I played 2 hours and I really enjoy this game. There are bugs which killed me after 4 minutes the first time but I think this game will be a lot of fun especially in the future with friends.
