The Forest - Co-op Survival Zombie Cannibal Oculus MF Rift Shityourpants Crafting Only $14.99 Simula - Games

Getting beat up and dragged to a cave by naked feral mutant cannibals. 11/10 would(am) shit(ting) my pants again.

Managed to try the game on my crappy laptop using steam's family library sharing thingy connected to my friend's account. Runs pretty good surprisingly with settings on medium low. Running on an i7-2670, GT540M and 4GB RAM. Gonna buy this shit now

The AI in this game is really good I saw one of them make a gesture and I lost control of the game and a developer console opened up long story short, my computer has been speaking to me in a strange language for about 20 minutes now

Guys, i've played for two hours and i have killed two groups of them, now i can't find any of them on the island, is it suppose to be like that??

So how long do we think until the game is actually released? Like, I dunno, three months?

[QUOTE=VangaMate;44967064]Guys, i've played for two hours and i have killed two groups of them, now i can't find any of them on the island, is it suppose to be like that??[/QUOTE] They did say something about finite amount of mutants on the island

[QUOTE=Cheh3x;44967087]They did say something about finite amount of mutants on the island[/QUOTE] But not 7 in total?

[QUOTE=VangaMate;44967090]But not 7 in total?[/QUOTE] Did you try going into the caves and such?

[QUOTE=Cheh3x;44967104]Did you try going into the caves and such?[/QUOTE] Yes, i went into one, there were no people but there were those weird creater things with many legs and hands, that was it...

Apparently if you dont get caught / die once and wake up in a cave they will die out pretty quickly

[QUOTE=BloodYScar;44967165]Apparently if you dont get caught / die once and wake up in a cave they will die out pretty quickly[/QUOTE] So i just need to get caught once and then it will be fine?

So it's definitely worth the buy?

[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;44967213]So it's definitely worth the buy?[/QUOTE] Like others have said, it looks so promising at this point you are probably better off waiting for the final product. Otherwise you will know too much of the game in it's unfinished form

I found a hidden ambient sound in the caves.

the parallax mapping on the sand and the rocky ground texture looks nice

Wonder who put it there in the first place? Also, I found out that if you duped the flaregun and use the dupes, it would have unlimited ammo. So go crazy

So Cryaotic was streaming this and did his best to display how bad of a state the game is in (:v:) and I being a mod and having the ability to post links decided to just completely outdo everything he does to prove the opposite Started out fucking amazing, I just jump off the plane, axe all the nearby bags and start chopping down trees not too far away (like, literally right behind the planes tail). After having one side of my spiked-pole-fence up about 6 mutants showed up. They were walking slowly at first but quickly went to approach. No shyness, just bang on attacking. I fended them off for a good while until only 2 remained. Now here's what I thought was [I]really cool[/I]: AS SOON as I killed off the 4th one, 2 of the mutants just collapsed. They stopped fighting, and dropped to their knees. [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/3281183405790409561/0936DB083851C2E924FE4279915D3609248BD3AA/1024x640.resizedimage[/t][t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/3281183405790351608/27A3095447A90AE86112E6498867658FCBABA7F0/[/t] I walked around them back and forth but they didn't respond to my movements. I figured there was no point in engaging them (in fact when I thought of doing so I kinda felt bad... which was an odd feeling). So I leave them be while I continue building. After about 5 minutes, they were gone. I never saw them leave, and I don't know where they went - but they just left. This is probably the coolest display of the AI I've seen so far. It seems like they just flat out surrendered.

I find it more terrifying that these cannibals will follow you around. Watch you from a distance and then disappear, only to come back later with a couple of their friends, still watching you, way more terrifying than when they actually decide to attack you. The tension man. It builds up.

I just realized, by the way: Has anyone seen mutants directly interact with eachother? In the trailers they show one mutant dragging away another one who is injured. I can't say I've seen that happen so far, and I've tried to make it happen by downing a mutant and pulling healthy ones towards it. No dice.

I have gotten a leader to sit down with his legs crossed a number of times before even attacking. They tend to do it just before his friends will attack like he wants to watch a show.

While most of these AI stories would be fake in other games, I totally believe them here. They really are THAT good.

[QUOTE=Coyoteze;44966351]One last female, and it looked like she was leaving, so I backed off. I thought maybe I could leave that last one alive.[/QUOTE] The female cannibals are seriously the most dangerous ones. Their bodies always onehit me, no matter if they are alive or dead.

I had something interesting happen to me during my first time playing. I'd only watched my friends playing it (they were really bad at it, my 22 year old brother was too scared to play the fucking game it was boring to watch). I rushed straight into my objective of building a big camp on the beach near the dead shark and tent, I was building my shelter as a group of 3 cannibals walked past. They just kind of walked by casually looking over at me and just walked on by. Later I went to sleep and woke up at night time, I went to go gather some building materials and noticed a cannibal checking out my camp. He looked like some kind of war chief and was carrying a fire stick or something of the likes. He walked up to my camp as I crouched in the rocks and observed from afar, he walked around my camp for a little while then turned around and started walking away. I sprinted towards him but it didn't seem to phase him, it was as if the cannibals had accepted that I would be living along side them. Anyway I threw a Molotov at him as he retreated and he ran away and burned to death, I then survived days on end without seeing any cannibals. After a few days of building my frame rate had dropped immensely and I was chugging along before I decided that the action was over and I wasn't going to see any more cannibals that run so I swam out as far as I could before I reached some sort of invisible barrier which made me fly up into the air and then die of fall damage. I awoke in the cannibal cave and started trying to find my way out, however none of the rocks inside the cave had loaded, only the terrain so I ended up getting stuck inside some walls. I decided I would kill myself with the explosives I had created but apparently they do no damage to you. Then after trying to kill myself with fire I gave up and quit. Very fun game but really buggy at the moment, I think I'll wait for it to be finished before I buy it.

Fuck this game is good. Everything I do, I have a feeling of being watched or hunted. Any sudden noise and I freak out. It looks pretty good too. I can only hope the bugs and shit will get fixed and then it's only going to get better.

I find it annoying that I can't play in 1280x1024(yeah I have a small monitor so what :( me and my girlfriend moved into our own place and I had to sacrifice my big tv) so it looks odd.

[QUOTE=Bird;44968273]I wish the intro was just a skippable pre-rendered movie that played when you launched the game. It gets annoying when you have to go through the entire thing each time you die.[/QUOTE] Maybe rename the file in the game folder so it skips? That's what I've done with games in the past.

Did maybe a small patch come out? I have a feeling it's better than yesterday.

I don't understand how I'm supposed to use the logs, they're too big to go in my inventory :C How do i craft with them?

[QUOTE=paul simon;44968514]I don't understand how I'm supposed to use the logs, they're too big to go in my inventory :C How do i craft with them?[/QUOTE] Use them to create a shelter from your survival guide? Only played the game once so far but that's what I found with them :v:
