Just think of them as glowing party hats. They can be taken much more seriously as enemies if you think of it that way.
Wanderers HATE him! Learn this one simple trick…
The coop game is fun, its alot like playing coop tower defense games like Sanctum, Orcs must Die and Dungeon Defenders. The combat is the best part, but the controls take time getting used to. Melee can be a great ammo saver, but be sure you get your timing right!
As a solo game, I’d say its a little on par with something like State of Decay but with less location variety, but better combat. The game has a good feel once you get the hang of it. And the balance between guns/melee is spot on. State of Decay was the last game to do it right with Dying Light right behind it.
I wish I was home playing this right now!
Definitely an odd decision but it is probably based on a long-running precedent with the series. The Metal Gear Online modes used to charge the same amount for a new character slot going back to the PS2 days.
The save game slot charge is stupid but it is not that outrageous considering you really don’t need more than one character, unless you want to play another character. The only charge that IS annoying is the one for charging for extra teams in base mode to scavenge. But even then, one is enough since having multiple teams would kind of upset the balance.
All the crying about the game is stupid… DLC has been WORSE in alot of games… even MGS V had these stupid things, and it doesnt ruin the game. The only issue is longevity for fans who WANT to grind loot. The loot grind is near perfect so far for me. As well loadout for playing is integral to how you manage resources. You might have the best shotgun/handgun/turret blueprints but it still needs precious ammo. Get good at melee and learn how to use the different abilities for each melee class. The melee combat timing is Dark Soulish.
Also more advice for new starters… save a few potatoes, onions, tomatoes and corn for later… it’ll save you a few hours. And also, like some JRPG;s… if you play the story some things get unlocked naturally whcih make reaching certain areas a helluva lot easier… ie. you don’t really have to grind levels in this game… and playing coop speeds up leveling as well. or you can solo it once you have your resources balanced (but coop makes it SO much easier).
Finished this game. Found it actually quite fun. I am aware that people on the internet have a hate boner with this game, but thats not enough to ruin my fun.
I like the story and the combat. Feels somewhat like a black and gray “Horizont Zero Dawn”.
The game expand later in the game, kind of like MGS-V. You get base management, different type of gear and defenses.

Haha, I wrote a review for the game giving it 3/5 on Gamefaqs and it got featured on the main page (god knows why). My review instantly got a bunch of angry negative comments, and a few positive ones. I guess the idea of the game even getting a middling review is painful for some.
This one?

I don’t see the comments. Are they on another page?
Ah well, the comments themselves are private, but my objectivity was called into question and I’m told I’m on drugs. I mean, Tom got some much worse crap on this site, but I found it mildly interesting considering 3/5 is nothing more than “hey, it’s okay”.
Dude a 3 out of 5 is like a 7 on the 7-9 scale. Why you gotta be such a hater?

Gah, everyone’s a critic. Even the critics.
Their problem is that I’m not enough of a hater.
