Use the terrain to your advantage climb and run over objects, down hills etc. slows them down and lets you lose them if you need a breather for a second
Get that secret ending its worth it sort of reshapes the whole game imo
Just beat the game. I'm pretty close to a platinum. Just need to get one camp to trust 3 so I can get the trophy from nitro 3. I liked the game but I can see the low scores. Aside from the horde mechanic, everything it tries to do is pretty mediocre.
There's a good story there but it goes on for 10-15 hours to long. The story picks up at camp 3 but that like 8 hours into the game. Then after camp 3 the story gets bad again in the next region as your stuck doing fetch quest for everyone until the endgame starts and the story picks up again.
I didn't get to much bugs but we're already on patch 1.07. So they were there. Bend even somehow broke the game more with patch 1.06. Luckily they took it down before I installed it. It seems to be selling well so I wouldn't mind a sequel on next gen hardware. In the sequel they should introduce smaller hordes earlier in the main story instead of saving them for endgame. I'm at the post and you're post game is literally horde farming.
I would give it a 7.5.

It says HDR is on, but I'm not seeing anything that looks like HDR. Bug? Am I just getting old?
OK, looking good now (had to change a setting on my LG TV after an update). I just had to beat a few zombie children to death. Fuck.
I think that's the one where I missed one speaker. Only 10 or so freakers appeared, but a couple of breakers helped me with that. I think I also killed the screamer just in time.
You got the typical speakers + two on lightposts, one of those is outside of the checkpoint, just follow the power lines.
Yeah I've been doing that recently as well. Doing anything at night is stressful
Good way to get exp and money atleast, the night has alot of benefits but risks as well
For people who completed the game. Should they stay in the same city/area, expand or move to a different part of the country?
I'd hope they'd stay in the same region. They're based out of Bend and we don't get enough PNW games. We get tons of games about places like California, New York, Japan, etc. They did such an amazing job on the environment likely in large part due to their local familiarity with it. There's tons of wonderful environments to work with up here too.
Plus it sounds like California would just be *completely* gone lol.
And well:
One of the Nero conversations/logs says everything east of the Mississippi was gone in 2 days.
Honestly never had an issue with that night never felt stressful or anything but then again i found a superior mace mid game that decimated them fast so freakers were never a threat long as it was not a horde for me.
Yeah even Skizo isn't as bad as Tuck when it came to the workers. When Boozer was late he expected him to make up the lost hours but didn't punish him otherwise.
400k+ in 4 countries alone in 3 weeks or less and all without digital is an exceptional start.
I think Germany has digital estimates or something but that is the only one.
I know many may absolutely hate it but how would you guys feel about maybe a co op option if they have a sequel. I haven't finished the game so no idea how it ends but would it be possible to travel this world they built with a partner?
Hell, even if it was just for hordes.

Online co-op horde mode would be fantastic
This is a good start too
Not online but online challenges

Give me that performance patch! Already finished the game but i love exploring this world, I think I'll enjoy it more with better performance lol

You can have XP numbers pop up onscreen in real-time?
How did I not know this. It's not on by default.
Just reached the fourth camp and did the first mission there. Kinda starting to burn out tbh. It's a long ass game. How much do I have left?
Yeah, I like it. Reminds me of Diablo or something. It's in the settings menu in the far right tab.
Anyone check out the screenshots accompanying the trophies? They're fantastic! Not the usual randomness or blank-screen type stuff, some thought was put into when they actually trigger.
Visually I think the very first area, Copeland's forest is the most impressive. It's so lush with all the trees and foliage, especially when the fog rolls in. Nothing really comes close to that spectacle for the rest of the game except maybe the towns.
I'll disagree about the writing quality, but no one is saying you can't bail after 25 hours if you're not having fun. That's fine. You didn't enjoy it, the story didn't grab you. No quarrel. But there's a difference between that and deciding to make a bunch of ignorant claims about various plot points and characters based on an incomplete understanding of the material. I never finished the Red Badge of Courage, but I know that means I don't have a basis to criticize the themes and character arcs in full. And yet, for some reason certain writers think that's totally normal for games. It's a shitty attitude, and diminishes the form to act like that's acceptable.
I actually find the story and characters to be surprisingly good. Better than what I expected (I expected straight up garbage).
If you haven't finished the game yet I don't think you have room to pass your opinion off as objective truth.
You know what.. after playing more.. I take that spoiler comment back. The characterization for these guys is aaaaaaaaaaaal right. The game just seems to take a sweet time getting to it.
Progress: A ways into Crystal Lake missions
Sarah and Deacon are a good couple, just got done with their lab mission and the subsequent cabin-sex scene. I think it's OK for you to stare at your wife's ass Deac ;)
Although I did blurt out laughing as the immediate next camera cut has cheery music which was straight out of a Viagra commercial you see on TV.
I just watched a dear enter a horde area in the middle of the day and drag the entire thing out.......guess that's why Decon still hates dear crossing lol
Yeah in away deers are enemies too they can cause alot of problems lol from what I seen
is it ever explained why, exactly, when deek bunks down in lost lake, he sleeps with his head at the foot of the bed? :) ...
I'd like to know why he lies on his back, on top of his baseball bat with a sawblade and spikes attached to it
I'm pretty close to the end game, I can see hordes on the map now, and I have no idea how some reviewers can say that Deacon has no character development.
I mean he's putting rescuing Sarah secondary to helping the people at Lost Lake. Deacon from the start of the game would never have done this.
I'm pretty confident some reviewers didn't actually finish the game, because yeah Deacon develops QUITE a bit.
Holy shit that sawmill is no fucking joke.
And LOL at my dumbass missing a speaker on the NERO site even though people here warned me about it. Bend are some sly jerks for hiding that last one amongst some trees.
It didn't bring the horde down on me (I shut that generator down right quick) but I had two breakers AND two screamers to contend with. I am SO fucking lucky I was able to down both screamers before they spotted me.
Just being near that sawmill and seeing that massive horde for myself...that's one of the most unsettling things I've ever experienced in a game.
