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

[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;44980831]Yeah just make the game boring why don't you.[/QUOTE] Lol, really? I mean muskets as in real muskets bro, not fire and reload in 2 secs. Take into account it would scare the shit out of the cannibals. Would make for some fun interaction with the AI. Until they realize it can only hit one at a time and it takes a while for you to fire again.... EDIT: Did anyone read the whole robinson crusoe? I mean, there's so much you can take from that book and apply to this game.

So basically, muskets would actually be pretty cool somehow, but I don't see the guy producing a fucking musket in that forest... I mean how should he do it? How would he get gun powder etc. ? Wasn't there actually a sequence in a trailer where the guy was using a rifle? Something Lee-Enfieldesque? (Which would be overkill)

[QUOTE=DesolateGrun;44981379]Its a north american forest though, says so on the site[/QUOTE] Finally, a game set in Canada!

[QUOTE=Ghost101;44975954]That's actually how we should probably all be playing this. As early access people we technically should be bug hunting and reporting stuff, actively trying to break the game and documenting it for the devs.[/QUOTE] Just to follow up on this, you can apparently email any bug reports or feedback you have to: [email]support@endnightgame.com[/email] I'm going to try and report things for them as I find things. If we actually treat this like an alpha instead of a broken demo then maybe we can get this stuff fixed. Hopefully they'll add a bug report button in the menu or something so more people can easily do it.

Maybe from some kind of hunters or expedition that went there and ended up being killed by the cannibals.

Something that'd be cool is war relics - you'd see a rifle butt sticking out of the ground or something, and you'd pick it up, have to really clean it out and take care of it to get it to a working state, and then the whole finding ammo thing... The game works well with rewarding exploration. Finding a nearly useless rifle might not be practical, but it'd be cool.

[QUOTE]Its a north american forest though, says so on the site [/QUOTE] Oh Well...WW2 US/Canadian Army outpost sent to watch out over the north (?)

[QUOTE=Cutthecrap;44982689]Well...WW2 US/Canadian Army outpost sent to watch out over the north (?)[/QUOTE] The US had very few forts inside the country that were manned during WWII, and virtually nonexistent soldier activity on the mainland. Only way you'd find any sort of WWII weaponry would be to find an abandoned fort that didn't have its arsenal transferred, of which there are none in the U.S. It'd be far more likely to find firearms from hunting clubs/lodges and outings than any sort of WWII memorabilia. The terrain and fauna points to somewhere in south western Canada or the area around Washington.

this game hates me I got out of the plane walked a bit and found a few "tribal" huts ... for a split second i tough huh i guess this is where the monsters live...a second later i have a tonne of motherfuckers swinging their sausages at me

I have no problem with there being so many enemies, but it'd be nice if they came later. Today I made a small camp in the woods and had to deal with about 20 cannibals at one. Of course I prepared for it by having fires everywhere, but I still got pretty injured at the few that charged in. This would be pretty cool if I had at least been given some time to set up, like a day or two. Also it ended when I killed about 8 of them and the rest just despawned suddenly

I connected all the huts with defensive walls and turned one hut into a storage place and another one into a garden. Its awesome.

How do you actually use the garden? Do you need to plant veggies in it? Oh and what do I do with old fires I have? I've got like 3 that look burnt and I can't cook anything on them.

Something I realized today: This game is a lot like the novel "Hatchet". Plane crash, lost in the forest, main weapon / tool is a small hand-axe, must survive until rescued. The only real difference is that there are natives that also occupy the land instead of worrying about bears or wolves.

[QUOTE=Loriborn;44983443]the mutants, both in aesthetics and behaviour, remind me a ton of the mutants from the I Am Legend film.[/QUOTE] Aesthetics, I'll agree on, but in I am Legend, I remember them all being instantly aggressive compared to these guys that are just cautiously aggressive. They'll leave you alone if you keep your distance.

Plus then any guns you find on their bodies would be sitting out in the rain and shit for decades so they'd be nearly impossible to find a working one. (Except maybe inside of the caves, but even then the moisture would be questionable) Nothing automatic obviously but I could see a bolt-action rifle being reasonable, like an M1903 Springfield. If they had the gun controls as complicated as that one game [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/234190/?snr=1_7_15__13]Receiver[/url] I can imagine that balancing out it's power against the cannibals. Also you'd have to make ammunition absurdly rare. I think it'd be fun to find journal entries and shit maybe, more stuff to expand on the lore of the island as well

Just looked on Youtube for gameplay (because personally I've never seen natives in the trees before) and it looks like Pewdiepie has made a video. Here comes a big wave of people who don't understand 'early access'.

Really i wonder what it will take for people to understand early access maybe a big window that you cant close with a shiny red font that literally shoves in your face the meaning of early access

Also, it seems the natives want to hunt you. They leave you at the plane crash, and then knock you out and leave you, gear and all, in the caves. Though, I've only done the caves once, because I usually just quit. I'd rather just have 1 chance to not die.

I didn't see anything leaping through the trees though. Closest thing to it was a lizard partway up a tree.

They definitely climb trees. I've had them do that on me.

So I don't want to wait until this comes out so I can "buy it off steam" My roommate and I want to play the alpha pretty bad but I think it'd be better to wait We'd go halves on it later tonight, but do you think that in this form it's just better to wait a couple months? Cause it looks great but if it's broken and shit then I don't want to tarnish my experience

Definitely better to wait a couple of months if you don't want a tarnished experience.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwghhhhhh alright, now I feel bad about hyping my mate up this morning with some gameplay

Even in its some what alpha/broken state, I absolutely love this game. I even find it fun as fuck with the bugs, I let my girlfriend play and she built a camp by the beach and was over run by seagulls so she made a new camp in land and was this time over run by kamikaze fire loving sparrows. Also, Where is the exit to the cave if you get knocked out? I just keep falling through the floor.

This game creates a level of paranoia akin to what DayZ has done to me. I feel like a meth-head while playing and love every second of it.

Alpha test as hard as you guys can do it for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'm waiting for that save patch, otherwise it's a fantastic game.
