I won't be able to attend today, I'm afraid. Deadlines beckon, and I am compelled to obey.

I finally broke down and got The Long Dark, as well as the Zubmariner DLC for Sunless Sea which I'd honestly forgotten about. But between Finding Heaven due out later this year, pre-ordering Tacoma for the August release, and my too-big library of unfinished games, I'm just not motivated to get any more.

Quoting: razing32

Quoting: KelsIt's a pity that I can't even watch people play the game (I tried with a streamer who also gets simulation sickness, but no dice), or I'd be all over this when it's released.

Is it just this new game ? Or the old ones as well.

I think I saw a vid a while back on simulation sickness and potential "cures" to try.

It's the whole series, even the ones under the old engine although HL2 is especially bad. Setting the FoV to 90 or 100 improves it so I feel less queasy, but doesn't fix it.

The wobbling effect is enough to take it off my radar entirely, sad to say. It's just too distracting.

Quoting: tumocsIt seems to work. Animations are clunky and starting seems to require a bit of grinding to get all that gear and food and shelter and whatnot. Not sure if it's my kind of game but interesting none the less. I do like Albion Online a fair bit better.
(I was also in a brief alpha test of this earlier)

I got a key a couple of months back, and there's still a LOT of grinding involved. I played for weeks and still couldn't find a recipe for an improvement over the basic bow, for instance. I might try again after a few more updates and see if things improve, but I'm not holding out that much hope.

I did find that since it's a player-driven sandbox, the low population of the PvE server basically ended up as an exercise in nothing BUT grinding. There's really not much else to do or interact with. By contrast, I hear the PvP servers are cutthroat, so I expect newbies will get ganked a lot.

From what I know of the game so far (mainly from the updates on Steam and a bit of your gameplay a few months ago), I'm surprised they waited this long to add a FoV slider. The devs seem to be the types to be on top of that sort of thing.

I'm very interested in the game, and this only helps. It's got a lot going for it, like non-fantasy basebuilding and the vehicle assembly stuff.

I'm currently trying to decide if there's any good reason for me not to pre-order this, and I'm coming up empty. It's not something I usually do, and I don't really use GoG a lot, but otherwise that's about it.

I see you enjoyed it much more than Samsai, who was apparently resistant due to the same oldschool anime look that you found appealing. I admit, from the little bit he played on Friday it does look interesting.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the crafting menu looked a lot like Terraria.

In the future, nobody listens to jazz. Only NuMetal, it was made law in 2040.

Anyhow, I've had my eye on this for ages, and aside from the Gone Home connection I'm really interested in some of the new mechanics of this game. It looks like they've packed in a lot of individual story arcs, which promises to make me very happy indeed.
