I mean the upgrades are literally just doing their job, making the game easier, thankfully the game itself isn’t so long so I think it does not overstay it’s welcome and it’s pretty well balanced

Feel free to goto the deeper zones where your car will melt by acid and then you upgrade to resist acid attacks then the car will be heavily damaged by explosives. Unless you want to just cheese the story which isn’t hard. Upgrading everything is hard. The game makes impact damage nonexistent mid game so you can focus on having fun driving and worrying about higher level anomolys that damage it in other ways. And try going for purple nuke missiles in the deep zone where you nab highest quality better than you can build in the workshop panels if you want a real challenge.

Saw this and the dead island video and was like.... I should subscribe.... and then I saw I was already subscribed from the sons of the forest videos XD, keep up the good work, you deserve more subs honestly!

Loot the Purple Loot in a RedZone thats the Jackpot and high Risk and Reward.

Well... yes, it's true. But I like to think of it as if you've finally "tamed" the Zone.

I guess developers found out that the systems they've made doesn't allow them to make the game harder without making it annoying and unfair. Like if you have that choice and the choice to delete most of your work and create different game instead of this one. I'd like to be mistaken here. If one day they will release a patch which makes the game harder in a good way I'd like that a lot. But now it's more about enjoying the atmosphere of the game than challenging gameplay.

Schade, wollte es mir eigentlich holen. Aber das ist dann doch irgendwie enttäuschend. Was würdest du sagen wie viele Stunden es waren an 'richtigem' Spielspaß? Weil anfangs warst du ja mega begeistert... BTW: Mache mehr Videos. Deine sind simpel aber richtig gut und auf den Punkt!

yeah thats what mods are for, maybe one day we'll get a fully kitted out version of the game with an intricate car modification system, much more aggressive anomalies and more of a survival/scavenging feel rather than swimming in resources.

Well, it does makes sense. Oppy, Tobias and Francis did survive all this time in the Exclusion Zone, so it *must* be possible for the Driver to survive as well, as long as the Zone didn't murder him already. For me, the slight disappointment is that the game seems to allow rushing through the end. After the strongly emotional "Red Meadow Research Facility" and "Deep Zone Crossing" missions, it appears that "The End of the Road" mission can be completed without the need to fully upgrade the car, workshop, or even personal protection gear.

I replaced all my off road tiers with summer tiers becuase tourist threw me some free ones and imp the driving and drifting is so much more fun without off road tiers.

The reality is that you have the upgrades that put the game into easy mode, then are complaining that those upgrades work. I agree that managing the exit storms is the only real pressure. I also think they were going for chaos, not super difficult.

Kind of depends on how you drive

Being able to save the game state before leaving the garage ensures a redo for no cost, some of the options seeing things through walls is also so cheese. give this game a year or two. 6/10

Agree I've never seen anyone die

I literally removed everything from my car to have a challenge lol. They need to make a second one asap thats more than just a proof of concept edit: its still pretty good i just want more. The game needs to evolve more as you upgrade and go further out. All it does really is add more anomalies and decrease the time. The time decrease is just annoying. Not scary... but annoying.

Game gets easier the more you play... so like every rougelike

played the whole way through never died and never lost a part always had putty or a blowtorch on me no matter what, game just gets stale once you see the first 5 hours of it, needs more aggressive anomlies like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series the ones in the game are at most a nuisance and at least you drive right through them like they dont exist.

Any games where as you progress there's an *incentive to remove upgrades* that make the game easier? Usually as players progress they start having to do things manually to earn upgrades to automate the manual gameplay. Instead games should start off giving players those QoL automation upgrades as "training wheels" to limit the number of game systems the player has to learn from the start. As the game progresses, it should provide incentives-like a limited number of upgrade slots/hardpoints or wanting to sell the early upgrades-to swap the training wheels out for more specialized player skill-based upgrades. Because at that point the player knows enough that they're comfortable doing some manual tasks in exchange for the extra value the specialized upgrades bring. And if players are more casual-nothing wrong with that-they can keep the automations, the trade-off being they will progress more slowly because they're falling behind the game's power curve. Examples include: - homing missiles and auto-aiming turrets vs more powerful manually aimed weapons. (Escape Velocity) - weak omni-directional shield vs strong shield but it's directional, like only covering half the ship. (X-Wing) - Same for comms antennae. (KSP) - lighting up the area with active sensors vs being stealthy and relying on passive. (Objects in Space, many submarine games)

Ok ok. You have to understand one thing. This game is about story, not survival, mostly. So this video had no purpose.

This video is too boring.

They had a great concept but they decided the narrative needed to be about DEI relationship nonsense, that it should be easily playable by toddlers and blind 90 year old women, and that a game about being on a roadtrip didn't require a full cassette tapes worth of tracks.
