Wasted potential. Fun Pimps snatching defeat from the jaws of victory again and again
Great concept. Was fun at one time. Now it's falling victim to the typical dev strat of throwing gimmicks at the game until it dies. Some 1600 hours in, I still can remember the first time I played, trying to hide in some random, burned out house that was near my spawn. It was so dark. It was intense. It was scary. It's none of that any more. It's bright at night, neon zombies, changes to core mechanics, otherwise weird and pointless mechanics. Oh and grossly overpriced today. The one thing they did right recently is to add ways to turn a lot of the garbage off. Except I still can't figure out how to get rid of the lame rancher and boulder throwing guy. And now sold to a larger company? Yeah that always works out great for games...
Good foundation. Terrible development The weather , theres got to be a better way (Take Fallout radiation for example) The Biomes - There is no substantial benefit to going to other biomes. The skills, theres got to be a better way (seriously you had better skills before) The magazines/books - Lord almighty, theres got to be a better way! The combat - Its aight The models - Its getting there The sound design - it exists The DLC- they shouldnt exist The farming - Theres alot of it on default settings The Pathfinding - Zombie be very dumb. and yet if you dont use your brain they can be brutal. There is no in between The quests - montone, I wish there was more voiceacting telling me why im doing these things. I wish the NPC told me "I have this to do" instead of picking the one I like everytime. The economy - I only play singleplayer or friend only. So the traders just seem like they price gouge anything worth buying. other - Why cant I use working ovens/cars/coffee machines/etc I have many complaints. I have to wonder what all the development time went to. I have to wonder, is this game worth 57.99CDN$ And I think its more of a 39.99 game personally. It has some fun to it, but it also clearly isnt finished. the wonky jumping in particular is my favorite example. SO little has changed in all these years, but also everything has been made more "wider appeal". It kinda makes the overall bland. Grow food and sell it to buy what you are missing. Trust me. There still is a good time for those who want minecraft but for adults.
Devs hate their community so much they ignore what their players want. If you like grinding out books for your skills and not by actions themselves really brings down the game. RIP my favorite game of all time.
I am so furious with the changes they've made to make the zombies somehow genius sappers if they can't reach you. We figure out a way to "beat" the game and the developers just CANT have that. What is wrong with you guys?
There's so much still to be changed and added to this game that saying it's no longer in early access is just a straight up lie.
unoptimized AI slop that runs terribly and hasn't had any significant updates in a decade
I used to love this game and have over 600 hours logged but it has forgotten it's roots. Chicken suits?! WTH?!! Will not play again until the devs come to their senses.
This was a great game once, until the Fun Police decided to make sure you can't have fun and experiment and they systematically hunt down players and exploits and successful tactics that have the gall to deviate from the little tracks that FP have decided is the only way to play. And have even publicly stated that in the past. Coupled with a multitude of bugs, horrible optimization and the game randomly resetting any changes you make to the game world, like fixing destroyed bridges, I cannot recommend this game.
Played the game since alpha. Loved watching the progress and never minded how long it took. To see the fall to casual slop is very depressing. Fun Pimps please reconsider your choices and do better.
