I want the cannibals to LEAVE.
Yu-No was amazing, I think you'd have fun with it. It's a bit clunky and has a lot of that backwards moon logic (in gameplay) sadly, but was still quite good. A VN with a bunch of point-and-click adventure stuff.
Is the next one Factorio?
18:43 when you here your name in your favorite youtubers video.
So... at 17:10 i realized you like Berserk.
do you have your live streams with shammy on some channel somewhere?
“What’s the point of [self-hurting fire rock]?”
Easy: for nonverbally telling the natives that you are a level of crazy that they are _absolutely_ _unprepared_ to deal with.
ways to assert dominance: immolate yourself while staring straight at the enemies
Now that's what I call a "power move".
6:19
Y-know, that's not a bad idea. Reminds me of the Lewis Black bit where he suggests we elect the corpse of Ronald Reagan as president, because absolutely NOBODY will fuck with us after that.

@@Sir_Bucket should be a secret ending where you accidentally spread smallpox to the cannibals and wipe them out
I remember crafting a autonomous funnel for them to run in and get clapped by traps and there were miles of bones everywhere
This game is scary until one gets 8 homies and starts a bone cult.
😆
I had ONE. It begame unordodogs.
My friends would only eat the legs. I'd be out all day hunting shit and putting it to dry or cooking it but nooooo, the fuckers only eat legs.

Is the leader of the cult the Bone Daddy TM?
6:42 clarifying what Mandalore means: booze doesn't actually warm your body; alcohol relaxes your capillaries so more blood flows to your skin, so you feel warmer. But what's happening is that you're losing heat faster.
So IRL alcohol bad if cold
@@calebprouty288 very very bad
@@calebprouty288 there is one specific situation where booze is good for cold.
Some places used sambernars as rescue dogs and those dogs carried booze with them.
Drinking it and then laying with the dog will help you warm faster from your big puppy friend.
The same can be applied if you have stable campfire.
Tl:DR Booze bad for cold except if you got dog or fire.
Yup, known as vasodilation.
@@user-nz2vk9rq6y BTW, St. Bernards carrying booze with them is a common misconception created by one artist in his painting. Later it was revitalized in many other public media resources(films, cartoons, stories, etc.), so the myth became so much widespread that it is now considered truth. However it is not.
I played this game with a friend who played it in VR. They didn't have a microphone so they could only communicate in gestures. However, they could swing the axe as fast as they could swing their arms, so it was sort of like playing with a mute Hercules that would fell entire swathes of woodland in minutes and then come running back to camp with about ten of the locals chasing them.
That is honestly some hilarious ass imagery.
honestly one of the funniest things ive ever heard
@@gridwreckgamer6254 It's literally a micro-scale Captain Jack Sparrow getting chased by the cannibals lmao
Vr in the forest was terrible. The scaling feels fucked
but every VR has microphone.
"what a trial over a minor thing. I need to stop thinking of smash Bros."
Holy fuck it took a few watches to catch that
Dammit, it took until I read your comment to realize the genius of that line.
Also the „Like smash players practice the wrong kind of grooming“ 👌🏻
I have no idea but it sounds like I do not want to have either.
10:57 The fact that cannibal actually looked at the bomb then back at you as if "What the hell?" before exploding is genuine comedy gold.

@@Accursed_Farms Sounds like The Road To El Dorado

Nice to see you here, Ross.
I played this with a friend of mine, he went the good path, armor from animal skins, sticking with found weapons. I on the other hand immediately went into wearing monster hide, eating people and using a skull on a stick. My goal was to run the entire thing with 0% sanity, we eventually role played it as he was a figment of my imagination that manifested after my brain snapped. Good times.
lol...Seriously though. Does a lower sanity level do anything ? I didn't pay attention to it and I would frequently eat limbs to survive (they filled my stomach pretty full, hence why I hoarded them).
@@snakesghost7817it makes you hallucinate a bit and causes the cannibals to be more aggressive towards you. That and it lets you build crazy person shit. It doesn't effect too much but when it hits with the hallucinations or big raids it hits hard
yeah that's not really the game being good though. As mandalore said 2 good friends could roll a dry turd back and forth between each other and still find a way to have fun. These games rely so much on other people creating the story and roleplaying without really having the tools for it.
@@lunova6165 I mean let’s be real that’s sort of a silly point. “Anything can be fun therefore just because this is fun doesn’t mean it’s good” just enjoy the game bro or don’t.
A nice detail is all the sharks on the beaches - sharks have electroreceptive organs in their snouts that they use for navigation so if an EMP goes off it could cause them to beach themselves.
Woah thats actually fucking insane, I never knew that. Wild that the devs went to that effort
@@TooMuchSascha That's because they didn't. The lab plot was a late addition and they had a different plot planned but scrapped it, so you had beached sharks and stuff when the EMP didn't exist in the setting. We call those happy accidents, not effort.
You do realize the sharks were in the original release of the game, well before any plot was in it, right?...

Hey hey people.
That episode is pure gold.
THEYRE TRYING TO OUT PIZZA THE HUT
I remember my first time playing, I set up my base at the beach right in front of the plane crash site. A couple of days in, I look at one of the cliffs and I see a small group of cannibals just watching me from afar. That's when I realized how great/scary the AI was. I could have never looked up at that specific cliff and saw them, but they would have seen me. Makes me think how many times I haven't seen them.
Some of the worst (best) interactions I’ve had were at night after building a pretty big base with a watch tower
I look down and see one of the spotlight guys walking around from afar, can’t even see his body just the light he casts
He stops, facing my general direction, I’m not lit up at all so I’m not sure if he actually sees me, and then he frantically runs away into the night. Maybe him running away at that moment was just a coincidence, maybe he was going to tell his friends
@@tommykarrick9130 Do the spotlight guys use flashlights ? They should have made it so you can collect their flash light when they died.
Wasn't fun for me I got jumped 15 min after the crash never thought I would complain about handholding in a game but damn
@@joeschmoe3665 Same thing happened to me bro. I got jumped like in the first 10 minutes of playing (my plane crash site was right next to the abandoned village where the cave is when you die). That's a rough spot for the plane crash to be.
13 minutes of "This is amazing!" followed by "Yeah, don't bother..."
I am not a fan on horror so without friends to egg me on in single player it's mostly just me sitting in a tree house not wanting to leave.

As a man with a receding hairline that child is in for a wild ride.
Mine has been, let's say, less than wild, what's your secret?
@@FairyRat There are three stages of a balding mans life, Denial, acknowledgement and finally acceptance. With acceptance comes true power.
@@benjamindover2601 Does that power happen to involve being the master of all four elements?
@@dffffffzKDEN I don't know about that, but it does involve the mastery of the element of wearing warm hats.
Balding seems to be easier for people who never cared much about their hair or put any effort in. Balding as someone with great looking, long 'metal' hair is a nightmare.
The Forest Dad: Can easily lift 200+ pounds of freshly cut logs while still being able to sprint and/or jump.
Also The Forest Dad: *gets knocked by a malnourished cannibal*
I mean, to be fair, lifting has more to do with leverage than strength, and flesh is easily cut and torn
@@quitkid8727 Not sure how much leverage you're getting out of lifting several logs that are each twice your length onto your shoulder like bags of rice, or how it lets you then run around like you're not carrying body crushing amounts of mass. Sprinting and jumping are completely out of the question for actual loggers with the physical conditioning to carry logs for a living, let alone when carrying several or by a guy with a complete dadbod who shouldn't even be able to lift or carry a single log in the first place.
If your character is that strong you should be built like a Norse god and going around cleaving cannibals and mutants like they're nothing instead of struggling to make clean cuts and needing repeated heavy swings to dismember them, let alone getting thrown off-balance because the 90-pound cannibal with kuru smacked you with the force of your average bulimic teenager.
@@KaleidosXXI Yeah. Any dude physically capable of hauling that amount of weight for prolonged periods even with the omission of sprinting/jumping should be able slap an emaciated hobo to the shadow realm.
@@KaleidosXXI there’s a technique to getting heavy cylindrical loads on your shoulder. Once it’s on, it’s a lot easier to carry since it’s supported by your core and legs instead of just your arms. Still fucking heavy but a lot easier to manage. Source: I move a lot of dense handmade rugs at work

Funnily enough this is one of those games that becomes a comedy in VR, ESPECIALLY in multiplayer. The main reason for this is that damage... Isn't based on momentum. Which means you can just wibble your way through cannibals having a big laugh.
Is it PSVR?
@@tkd10 No, only PCVR, so stuff like Index, Vive, etc
I found that even though that's true, it's significantly harder and less efficient to play in VR. It is funny to be able to freely move your body, but building and contributing takes about twice as long.
@@MDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMD that's why you play multiplayer with people who are in flatscreen mode lol, they do the building and you chop down trees at ridiculously fast speeds
I'll never forget the scene of my buddy holding the severed head of a seagull in one hand, a katana in the other, doing an interpretive dance after he had just thrashed a Virginia in seconds

@@ValentineGrimCC I know you're kidding, but that's also EXACTLY what I mean! :D
Early on in the game's development, the best thing you could do, early on, was let the cannibals get you. They'd take you to the exact spot the flare gun was, which, at that time, was a one shot weapon with infinite ammo, and, after that, you'd never see that fatal second capture that ended the game.
Lol I picked the game up again after a few years and this was my strategt
Now it takes you to the caves map and the compass, I think
@@jorgedeanoperez2997 i think its randomized, now
There are like 3 or 4 possible spots, now, i think.

Truth be told its been a while.
It's not that the animal AI has issues, it's just that you were a Disney™ prince and you didn't know it.

Video Game Sanctuary oh and he plays the forest in it!
The true end game is when within your game room in The Forest, you then play The Forest so you can survive while you survive

Me and my wife did a playthough about a year ago. We made it through 70 in game days before completing the story. In those 70 days we built an absolute fortress on the beach and had several pitched battles against armies of mutants. Catapults, seige towers, enough snare traps to stop the Normandy invasion. Good times.
Me and my friend played this and we used the raft base strategy. One day we were near the coast and there was a patrol of tribe cannibals walking up. We stop when they see and us and crouch, then the cannibals stop and crouch. We stand and crouch again, and then were just teabagging at each other for legit ten minutes straight then go our separate ways.
The AI in this game is an absolute treat.
WOW I can't even play The Forest with devs inserting politically charged self-immolating deer into my game.

I'm a The Forest veteran, and nothing in the game scares me anymore. But when I played it in VR... I screamed with genuine terror, before chopping cannibals up while screaming "DIE, DIE, CRUCIFY!"

"Hatchet" and "My Side of the Mountain", two books I've loved as a kid and read through their sequels. Holy shit.

@@adenowirus This is the kind of crossover I'd like to see.
I belive the "crafted rock /upgraded rock" is so that you can put it in a catapult then set fire to it and have a flaming rock shot at your enemies. Never tried it, would just assume so.
Nope! It doesn't light itself when you fire it, and if you light it you also light yourself on fire. It's just to troll players, and I'm all for it. That said, the rock with 30 shards of glass on it is one of the most satisfying weapons in the game to use.
@@BewareofTarps Always confused me when I started playing
@@BewareofTarps good to know...
"HE'S DESTROYING THE PEOPLE-JERKY!"
Jesus man, he's probably trying to grab some part of one or several of his family members so he can arrange some kind of funeral. Show some sort of civility, won't you?
You don't just steal another man's food, bruh. Would you let a turkey crash your thanksgiving?
I miss the glitch where if you didn't fight back or run and you just blocked all their attacks they will eventually stop attacking you like they've determined you're neither food or a threat and then you'll have a unusual relationship with them where they won't attack you but will just observe you.
So is that not a thing anymore?

Sseth was right about Mandalore's personality in his Wizardry 8 video.
@@unconscious7219 Sseth really knows well about mandalore. I'm really getting invested in this Sseth-Mandalore plot.
I think we all want to be part of a dad collective someday.
I think being red scares them because the doctor who stole Timmy was red, and if he was willing to take a small, defenseless child, who knows what he did to the cannibals. They probably think you ARE the doctor when you paint yourself red, and are afraid of what unspeakable horrors this man, bathed in blood, did to them.
There's lore that indicates that the doctor intentionally conditioned them to fear red to control them better.
@@TheShadow7771 so your saying I'm correct
@@bigmikey5575 Not sure how you interpreted that as you being correct when you have it completely backwards and your assumption is wrong. They're not afraid of the doctor nor do they mistake you for him when you're painted. They fear the color red itself, not some red man who did "unspeakable horrors" to them.
Also, willingness to sacrifice a child to save their own child doesn't translate into any kind of rampant sadistic behavior or willingness to inflict mass horror to an entire population, it's not even a particularly immoral decision all things considered and plenty of people would make the same choice if they could.
I'll never forget my fear when I saw the war party coming up the hill with what I thought were torches or flamming tennis balls. Only to realize I threw so many molotovs at them they learned to make them. Also, FISH TRAPS?!
Ill never forget getting 5 creepy mutant at one plus a molotov thrower also the annoyance of never finding aloe vera
@Gabriel Patrick yes and no. If you raise hostility high enough, new mutants start to appear. One of them are fire mutants, which are the only type of mutants that use projectiles, which are fire bombs
The Molatov Cannibals suck at aiming tho half the time you can make them hit their own tribe members, the issue is when you aren't safe at a base and they gang up on you while the other fucker pelts you with fire.
When you think you're gonna roleplay Hatchet, but you end up roleplaying Bone Tomahawk
This is unbelievably accurate.
So true! When playing The Forest with my friends I would always say how it reminded me of Hatchet!
I wonder how many people didnt get those two refrences. Also good job with the capitalization.
They're even both a kind of axe. I hadn't seen anything about this game since v0.01 in like 2012 or whatever when it was in alpha, but that howl at the beginning of Mandalore's video immediately made me think of Bone Tomahawk. There has to be some inspiration there. The cannibals even look kinda similar to the ones in Bone Tomahawk.
I remember the first time I played the forest, it was terrifying. I had a fire going, whilst working on my home. Just out of reach of the light, I could see one of the cannibals just watching me.

Pro Tip : The Burning Rock is for you to throw or slingshot at The Cannibals. Molotovs and more efficient and deadly so these are more risk for less reward.
11:03 Vampire: The Masquerade gave you an arm as a melee weapon. You can even talk with its previous owner post dismemberment.
I don't think you talk to the arms owner, in Gimbles basement, you DO talk with Carson, the bounty hunter you're asked to find as a favor to the bondsman, Arthur Kilpatrick.
One word: BioForge
In Splatterhouse(2010 ), you can get your arm ripped of by enemies and you can use as a weapon until a new one grows back
Blade of Darkness and Rune have that option but I don't remember it being very useful.
He's right, the hand owner was long dead at this moment
9:28 "what locations are important to them? does building around or going near them piss them off?"
17:48 > proceeds to build around their sacred tree.
It was a good plan, the people jerky came to us.
I built a church there with a tower with Ziplines to my other bases lol
heyimsasquatch- That sounds like the story of colonization since time immemorial.
I've actually never had those issues with the animals. They never have stuck around for me. My main source of food were turtles because if you built a base on the right spot, they were a constant and slow source that crawled in a straight line
11:32
You can actually see the moment when the cannibal goes "Jesus what the fuck is that" when it sees the chainsaw.
I can't believe you didn't mention the fact you accidentally started building your big fort base like 100 yards from one of their "sacred trees" once
I don't think I've ever clicked a UA-cam video this fast seriously I saw "the forest" every neuron in my brain fired up I saw it in tandem with "Mandalore" and my central nervous system began collapsing in on itself

Did it become a Black Hole?
The reason you are so good at survival is because Eric Lebanc is a survival show TV star in the story
You play as Eric
Also you can "be friends" with the tribals by leaving them and the trees alone
Can you even finish the game without cutting down trees for logs?

So I wonder if he's supposed to be more Les Stroud or Bear Grylls. I'd lean toward the former.
Do you people even watch the video all the way before you head off to type your "Um actually" comments?
He says both of those things later.
Played this game with my friends for an entire summer. Such a well thought out game with an amazing sandbox. The shit we would do with the physics were hilarious! Story was solid but kind of strange towards the end. Glitches/bugs were littered throughout, even after early access. Overall 8/10 was my score.
This game has trees in it,
You are welcome for this advice.
Ah, I see you also played D&D 4th edition. Now tell me about the bears and the caves next.
Damn man, spoilers

Didn’t Uberdanger do that in his Forest video?

Even more different now. RIP Miura.
I remember in the early build blocking any block any type of damage, including fall damage. So you jump into the hole and just block and then you are safe

@@hoganbentle3582 SPOILER!
You get new blueprints to make a wooden Timmy and wooden wife to live out the rest of your days on the Peninsula. You can also make a "TV" and a "car" to round out the suburban dream experience.
@@Dankalank do the car and TV work?
Those were so pathetic they weren't even worth mentioning.
@@MandaloreGaming sounds like you don't see the wooden stand-ins as their real world counterparts, as I would expect for someone stranded on an island with cannibal mutants, as you went crazy/delusional.
Kind of a missed opportunity. Imagine waking up one morning, kissing your wooden wife goodbye as you drive your wooden son to school in your nice wooden car, before going to work at the human jerky plant.
Having just stopped playing this game after completing my intricate peninsula-wide mass transit system via a network of ziplines and glider towers (form the deck of the yacht to the cliffs at the base of the mountain in just under 3 minutes, or your money back!), I am so happy to see this showing up today.
Please record this, upload it, and notify me here when I can view this work of wonder.
@@MickSwanson Honestly? I just might. A friend and I literally spent months on it (it's a Survival game - no Creative help), and we're pretty proud of our ridiculous over-engineered project. Might start by recording individual "routes" rather than one giant walk through, because there's a lot to show.
@@BewareofTarps pls upload it
Yeah man, sounds really cool!
Thanks for the detailed captions :) It really elevates the quality of your videos for HOH people, and points out things we wouldn’t otherwise hear.
Hear me out, maybe the cannibals were the researchers children?
After the outbreak in the lab, the inhabitants were chased off to the caves. Not being able to find out the exit in maze like cave (or it being blocked off, idk) they resorted into cannibalism. Some didn't want to, so they starved to death resulting in the mass of dead bodies. After years passed, they found the exit but by than they went coocoo after too much human meat so uga buga monkey see monkey do time. Some monsters escaped from the lab, reproduced in the caves, so that might explain the monsters in the caves and how the cannibals can live with some of them.
Or idk, fucking alien made everyone go wheeee. Its 5am here.
I thought of that being a possibility too, but it would be too soon timeline wise since the lab has HDMI cameras and a lot of modern equipment, plus Megan Cross was still fresh enough to be revived properly. Even if the device completely restored your flesh too there are a lot of dead scientists in the lab that aren't too long dead and you can even eat their cafeteria food they left in a rush. I can only hope the sequel clears some things up unless I missed something major, but I scoured everywhere.
There's proof that some crhistian people were in the island, and they were hunted by the canibals, we know that because of some draws about the mutants and stories
So probably the canibals are the natives
The mutants idk
I thought the natives were either an original population used for previous experiments...or they were the failed experimental subjects (from previous plane 'crashes') that developed into a 'society' on it's own.
Fun fact: It's only cetain part of human meat that induce psychological damage/illness (as long as you are morally fine with eating someone) such as the brain. The brain induces an rare illness called Kuru (which is either Mad Cow disease or at least linked to, I can't remember), a prion disease.
@@crispypeepohole69 I don't know...I seem to recall that human meat can cause 'The Hunger' which in insatiable...at least according to that documentary 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'.

"...Timmy with an unfortunate haircut..."
*Looks at mirror and worrys*
The frickin enemy design seems sooooo good. The clips make it look very impressive. The sound, the choices they make, their movement.
"You're a Dad-"
Say no more. 10/10.
The Forest is such an important game to me. I'll never forget the time me and my friend spent on the island. Two dads searching for their son, living on a raft in the lake, dressed in white robes and wielding katanas. We weren't afraid of the mutants, they were afraid of us. Spinning with flaming air refresher bottles and chopping up cannibals with our axes to the tune of the 80s soundtrack.
Haha that premise is just so ridiculous. I mean that's totally me if I lose my son and get stranded on an island

I remember when it was in early access and me and a buddy got to the bottom of the pit, went through the water tunnels and got to the door before the keycard was implemented. We were both in complete shock, and it raised so many questions and got me excited for the next update.
"When I cover another early access title that got released."
Mandy you already reviewed Factorio. You just don't remember because you weren't on your meds
Ssethteznch reviewed factorial?
It's gonna be Risk of Rain 2 I'm sure of it.
I really hope it's subnautica
@@spencersanderford7518 that would be a really good review
@@spencersanderford7518 hey, remember how Subnautica devs fired their audioguy for his opinions?
The Forest reminds me of my highschool years and i find those to be infinitely scarier than anything on display in the game
Me want video oo aa give video ooo oaaa aa
What in tarnation happend in your highschool years?
Oh look you're still alive
I ran into you though your mystery of the droods review and man your humor really hits home for me. It's kinda dry and I love that.
Also A+ for deadly premonition music!
When me and my friends played it recently, we only had two bugs. One where my friend who activated the boss scene got teleported back to the door where you enter (very minor) and the second being that one of the cannibals got stuck in a rabbit trap (which hilarious to watch) for about 30 seconds.
I remember my best moment playing this game. My friend and I finally set up camp right before the first night. We were building some walls around but we both tabbed out of the game to look up some stuff in the games wiki. We tab back in around 5 minutes later, and as we look up, there are about 6 or so cannibals just STARING at us. They don't move, they don't make a sound. They just stared at us for a good minute and then ran off into the woods. That still scares me to this day, I love it.
Btw, I caught that Scooby Doo music at 22:04 LOL
Maybe they too where looking up stuff in the wiki
@@PadaV4 "How to deal with land invaders 101" lol
Yeah they stare from a distance. I remember noticing them while hoarding luggage near the plane after like 3 minutes of thinking they were trees. There was like 8 of them. Super creepy.
Once too I had my bow cranked at them, keeping them at a distance since they tend to back off when you aim at them. Finger slipped off mouse, headshotted a mom by mistake, instant kill. They cried over her body and kept me away while some of them dragged it off into the shrubs. I knew I was fucked by then. And I was. Night after night the aggro increased tenfold and they clawed at my shit until they got me. All I could do was scramble to rebuild during the day and fend off disgusting abominations throughout the night. The AI might be a little glitchy but god damn do they bring life to the game.
@@SoilentGr33n Always loved the AI in this game, the fact that you can effectively teach the enemies that you aren't a threat (at least the non-mutated enemies) is brilliant cause most people just attack on sight since they want to keep themselves safe, unknowingly making the journey much harder down the line since they pissed off everyone long ago
@@aaronoconnor4803 Yes. I played the awesome coop quite a bit with friends and at first we would literally go on hunting missions to bring back bones and whatnot. Eventually we realized we were going nowhere with the actual game because all we were doing was fending off pissed of savages and effectively losing the armors we built by killing their husbands and wives. It was a doomed cycle but it was kinda late to figure this out as the game became so fucking hard we decided to let it go and start over. The second time we knocked off the aggression to the point where we left meat dryers outside the base to give them food and dead animals. Not sure it did anything but we liked the role play and they were a lot more manageable. We tried to kill only as a last resort. It felt like SWAT 4 instead of Rainbow 6 if that makes sense, and it was also ten times more fun because the tension during encounters was insane.
I really think the Forest is the definition of a hidden gem and it's extremely impressive that it was made by such a small team.
I feel like "Something foul you might only see on National Geographic or your local Con" is a joke that went really underappreciated. Well played.
Sons of the forest is out! WE NEED YOU MANDALORE!
As usual you never fail in the music department Mandalore ! I loved the whistle theme background music so much that 5 months later it’s still on a perpetual chill loop in my head, nice one
The juxtaposition from "haha funny jokes about music and animals" to "there are cannibals on this island and you will think they are breaking into your house right this fucking second" back to taking out your feelings about quarantine while the Berserk OST plays in the background... is honestly pretty genius. Incredibly effective, thank you for another entertaining and really insightful video!
Oh yeah, it’s a trip
Oh god, Ross Scott is such a good call for that question. That man has probably already 100% thought through what he would do in this situation.
He already stated that forest is his preferred environment.
Avoid the mold !!
Why can't a major studio develop a game with this level of creativity?
Sometimes, Grasshopper, the answer you seek is within the question you ask.
Skill issue
Major studios aren't ran by developers or other creatives, they're run by people with an MBA.
People with an MBA are physically incapable of doing anything "new", "unproven", dare I even say "Risky".
Yep, I've been playing this game a lot, and I always felt like, with what it already has, it could do a lot more. For example, the fact that you collide with the trees and grass, and they bend down and make sound - which other game does that? And the sound they make also depends on the speed you collide with them, like running into the bush will obviously be louder than slowly walking past them. And the best part is that the enemies react to this! I can only remember Far Cry 2 which had similar mechanic, and it is abandoned now (see FC3-5, where the trees and bushes are just static decorations).
Did you know, that this game once had a completely different eating/spending calories mechanic? There was a method. The player could get "good nutrition points" and "bad" ones, and that, combined with the physical labor, could have earned more strength and better athletics, or - could do a complete opposite. Soda and snacks were the worst things in the game to satisfy your nutrition, which they should be logically. But all that went down the drain later, and now we just have to go break some crates at the main cannibal village, which shouldn't logically respawn and couldn't logically satisfy your hunger better than eating meat and stew (yes, you can make stew in this game).
This game could have created an immersive world better than Skyrim, but alas, the story and some completely crappy unfinished mechanics does not allow it to do so. I feel like at some point they just rushed to release version, adding only assets.
Hunt showdown has amazing sound if you're in to that kind of thing.
@@RyanLebednik Thank you for the hint. I might have a better look at it. Unfortunately, as far as I could see from a brief search, this is a multiplayer game with short sessions, which already like minus 2 points out of five for me, so... Yeah, I'll keep it in mind, thanks again.
"I just want this to be over"
Me: *Glances at my Berserk manga collection* Me too man.. Me too.
On the bright side, at least the “breaks” aren’t as king as A Song of Ice and Fire.
@Just a normal nazgul the 90s one is okay and actually brought most people to the fantastic manga. Also the music in the anime is pretty well fitting in my opinion.
like The Forest it sadly will never be completed...
@Just a normal nazgul better would be an actual ending of the manga. we will see neither, i fear.

Watching UberDanger's Journey to save Timmy before this review was the correct sequence. Now Sseth needs to make one so the trinity will be complete and Timmy will be saved. Forever.
I played the entire game with a friend, we focused on the story through exploration and that experience has put this game into my top 10 of all time. I didn't encounter any of the bugs seen here, I guess I consider myself fortunate. We learned quickly that building isn't necessary when focusing on the story. I really enjoyed the fact that you have to figure out the story on your own, I wish more games would do that. Watching Farket's videos on the UI impressed me greatly, there's far more development put into the AI than most players would ever see. I'm really looking forward to the sequel.
Did you play on console by any chance? I did and never encountered any bugs either
@@tman7042 I played on console and hardly ever encountered a bug. I had a log cart fly into the sky a couple times if a tree fell on it and one time my houseboat flew across the lake when a mutant came charging into it, but that’s pretty much it in probably 600+ hours of play.
I got the impression that the obelisk created the cannibals and mutants, possibly as a side effect, and Sahara was just studying it. Sahara does have notes as if they're creating the creepy mutants, but I think it's just them taking notes on how they are created, possibly with some test subjects of their own as well.
