The fact that the crash scene (the actual video cutscene) is different depending on where you land is totally awesome. It really adds to the immersion.
to get the "hot bar" you can add/remove items in your back pack ( in inventory your back pack is top right) then hold your inventory key (i) or tab if you changed it to bring out your pack to quick select your items
Yea, as far as I’ve seen there is no hot bar as of launch. Hopefully there will be some sort of update soon because going into the backpack to change items is a pain.
The "muscle icon" is your "strength". The more "heavy work" like cutting trees and carrying logs, the stronger you get and that will slightly raise your vitality/stamina. Also, "S" to scroll through Kelvin options of which there is an option in the Get for him to gather fish - and it's hilarious to watch him catch fish.
If you go the GPS tracker (purple circle with '!') closest to you at 6:26 then go downhill, there is a camp with contains the modern axe. Also you can find a pistol located on the dinghy offshore where another GPS tracker is at
The building and crafting animations are really cool. The fact that you have a NPC who can help you is really unique. So far, this game has some mechanics and details I wish other survival games had
I don't know if everyone watch the same as me, but i think the thumb of the protagonist is a little bit GIANT for the rest of the hand when you pick the GPS. 🤣🤣🤣 Nice video Kage.
Dude, that's a different starting cutscene than what i have seen on other peoples playthroughs, that's pretty cool that it has multiple different cutscenes for different starting locations.
I'm excited that this is out but also I'm somehow more excited that Kage gets to play it. He's been looking forward to this and it shows. His enthusiasm has been giving me enthusiasm.
I started in the ocean on a beach as apposed to the snowy mountains. Also... I believe hitting the C key will dismantle what you've built. Have Calvin fish... he's much better at it than you will be.
I just played this for over 5hours tonite. This is a great game for what it is in early access. I really enjoyed it, I know everyone else will too. Love watching your streams kage, your not corning or annoying the slightest bit. No stupid screams into the mic, could never understand why my kid would watch others stream games. Thanx for streaming for the adults.
@@nutz4buttz15 Mann that's crazy how u got time for that playing games, watching videos, while still having a kid going to work and all that. Man i only go to work and i still have barely any time to play video games or watch any kinds of videos u lucky or just better i guess Good Job!
@@turgimees4131 well you see most my tube watching comes while "working" in my down time. And yes I have 8 arms. And identify as three different people me myself and Mike. And all three work harder than my Co works, so my boss doesn't yell at me for slacking.
Love the video, was playing along with it last night. For the hotbar, when you hover over something in the inventory, and it's highlighted, all you have to do is hit 1-8 and it will assign that to them. Also if you want turtles you were too early, like IRL they won't come up on the beach until evening and go into the ocean in the morning
I restarted once and both starts I spawned on the same beach peninsula. I'm about 3 hours in, day 4, and I have a nice log cabin overlooking the bay with the survival raft in it, the raft had a pistol in it and the green dot closest to this bay has a 3-d printer in it. A sexy mutant wanders the shore at dusk but I've only ever found one rope. It's awesome how everyone has different starts.
I used to watch your old 7dtd series and it got me hooked, love your videos man. Hope you continue to do you and have fun playing these types of games :)
Brooo I missed watching you when you first did your valheim playthrough, alot of stuff has happened and I lost track. I am so happy you are also doing this game too, gonna be binging your playthough before I touch the game.
For me green hell is my favorite survival game followed by the forest then DayZ with modded servers. Green hell is just exactly what I think of when I think of a survival game. this looks like a must play as well.
I spawned about half way up the mountain near a big pond, not sure how beginning spawns work but I definitely spawned in a different area that wasn't snow.
Holy shit, those mad lads actually did it, They took "The Forest" and just made it even better! My hype for this when I get to play is unreal!! I think my favorite part is how Realistically dark it gets, Seeing your small area lit by a campfire and just Inky blackness beyond is so reminiscent of camping.
The first thing i noticed was you start in a diffrent place because my games crashed 5 times in a row before i got a tent down and every restart was in a different place, its LETS GO time tho i been waiting along time on this one just like everyone else, the original forest and 7D2D was what made me follow and support #Kage848 because of the effort you put into your content bro
I can't believe that it's out and I'm happy to see kage playing it can wait to see the base that he builds. Don't forget to go big kage. Love the video as always
I missed this game coming out. Geeze I remember when The Forest wasn’t even finished and I used to watch game play. Game looks great I somehow missed the hype train for this new series. Looks very good.
I did laugh earlier when we all broke steam trying to buy and download the game at the same time. I just amused myself playing war of the walkers 7 days mod while i waited. So far the npc helper is just fantastic and my favorite thing so far. i did end up dropping a tree on his head by accident, but hey its all a learning curve. Clocked just over a couple of hours on its before bed time so now here to see how a true professional plays the game! Also you dont start in the same place, i started in summer and crashed into the sea in a completely different place to you. Also just across from where you were on the beach is where i started, there are seagulls there that you can get a ton of feathers from and one meat per bird which when you cook on the fire gives you a tone of food. Much better then the berries. There are turtles there and clam shells which give a bit of food. I built a log house there as it seems like a good enough starting point.
I am so tempted to buy this game. Haven't played The Forest because the way it played gave me headaches to even watch with the field of view and motion blur. This looks almost too good to not try though. In real life, don't ever drink from a stream that close to the ocean. It will be brackish water, a mix of fresh and salt water, and will make you quite sick.
Wow, all the games I've started I have spawned in the same location beside a lake/waterfall. I saw someone complaining about spawning on a snow mountain and thought I was crazy lol
Took me an hour and a half to purchase. Pending for over an hour then it failed and I had to buy it again. But totally worth it. Now we just need a hot bar or atleast a scroll to change weapons
I started next to a lake. Same crash scene. You need a shovel at the golf cart area. And if you want the pistol, look to the ocean. 😆 I won't spoil too much for you. The building is definitely different. Get to those exclamations and other areas. You won't be disappointed. I have a quest to retrieve the bodies at the exclamations. Will have fun following you and playing along. I met the blonde chick, but not sure how to friend yet. Guess we shall see. U want food get to the green dots. Take care!
The Other lets play i watched(Gamedged) his Heli crashed on a cliff and fell into the water. He started on a beach peninsula with seagulls and 2 dead guys staked out on the point. I wonder if its random or if difficulty settings maybe effect it,idk.
Okay, I have now seen 3 starting locations. One in snow, one in water, and now one in trees where you cut a rope to fall to groung with chopper left in tree. I still have no idea other than it must be random ?
I started a new game where I crashed on the shore. Totally different animation where the crew drowns. Makes me wonder how many different beginnings there are.
I found that if you really are in need of food, kelvin can fish and its quite good to be honest, but if you really are hurting for some food, near the cave on the beach you can find oysters along the water.
know its 'early access' and thats a modern term. is this one ov those 'early access' games that is actually playable? or is it like RDR2 Fallouts Cyberpunk where you dont really get to play it untill all the bugs are worked out 3 to 15 months latter?
Also, I restarted the game a couple times (i suck at games like this) and the first time I crashed, I was in the woods, but now I crashed and washed up on the beach
Me and my friend landed at the exactly same spot like you! Probably the safest place around BTW... the crash sites are random just like in the first game! I watched an other UA-camr's video, who landed the other side of the island.
Also you can send Kelvin I believe to gather fish but I wonder if it has to be near a pond because he seems to work within a radius. I'm trying to figure out how to heal mine because he got smacked in the head with a log and now has blood on him.
Not sure if anyone has told you but if you had of kept following that beach line you first start on you come across a small camp that has a machete stuck in it
The fact that the crash scene (the actual video cutscene) is different depending on where you land is totally awesome. It really adds to the immersion.
@@Scavendon should get the game yourself on max settings
@@Scavendon 🤓🤓
Yeah, but the lack of sounds just ruined the crash scene a bit. They need to fix that
Only problem with this video is it ends.
Soooo trueee
😂😂
to get the "hot bar" you can add/remove items in your back pack ( in inventory your back pack is top right) then hold your inventory key (i) or tab if you changed it to bring out your pack to quick select your items
ty, was wondering how also
Yea, as far as I’ve seen there is no hot bar as of launch. Hopefully there will be some sort of update soon because going into the backpack to change items is a pain.
@@zaistarsgamingandfun pretty unique though
@WraithHeart yeah true, that's why it was in " ". I'm sure a mod will come out for a true hot bar.
@@trystanstewart3970 "pretty unique" does not equal good. Or even fair. That's a pretty big deficiency for a game like this.
Your forest playthroughs are nostalgic Kage. I remember watching you paying this game 2014. Enoyed them so much. Here we are again. Thank you
Wow those 27minutes just flew by!! Can't wait for the next episode
The "muscle icon" is your "strength". The more "heavy work" like cutting trees and carrying logs, the stronger you get and that will slightly raise your vitality/stamina.
Also, "S" to scroll through Kelvin options of which there is an option in the Get for him to gather fish - and it's hilarious to watch him catch fish.
I cant even contain how excited i am that this is out
I’m so excited I’ve been waiting for this video for over a year
If you go the GPS tracker (purple circle with '!') closest to you at 6:26 then go downhill, there is a camp with contains the modern axe. Also you can find a pistol located on the dinghy offshore where another GPS tracker is at
near the flashlight
but sharks are around the pistol POI, so beware
The building and crafting animations are really cool. The fact that you have a NPC who can help you is really unique. So far, this game has some mechanics and details I wish other survival games had

Its pretty sweet they added different starting points with their own cutscenes, I got shot down and crashed in the ocean 🤣
Location is based on when/how long it takes you to close the laptop in the helicopter ride
@@rtcmedicthat’s a good thing to know. Thanks for the tip
that is wild
Yeah and there is one in normal woods one guy just opens the door and the door rips and crush him after he fell down
@@aresmorgan1974 it's kinda sad but tbh it was hilarious as hell, I was laughing for a solid 5 minutes when he fell down💀💀
I've WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS, you are the only person I wanna watch play this, thank you so much :)

Hes my chief rack filler upper 😁
He is my spirit animal !!!!!
🤘ALL HAIL KELVIN🤘

Started watching your channel from forest 1 and now it's good to see u playing forest 2.
I used to watch your old 7dtd series and it got me hooked, love your videos man. Hope you continue to do you and have fun playing these types of games :)
BRO I FUCKING LOVE HOW IT TRACKS YOUR PATH THROUGH THE SNOW AND MESSES UP THE SNOW
Gave you a like and comment to support the channel, but I can't watch as to avoid spoilers! Keep up the great work Kage!
I have been waiting for this gameplay for so long !! hyped!!
As soon as I realised this game got released I made sure to check that you played the game before I watched anyone else xD love you kage
Bought the game today ...can't wait to play tonight! The forest is definitely top 3 survival game ever
This game will consume most, if not all, of my free time in the foreseeable future!
LET'S GO! I'M PUMPED
As much as I am enjoying you playing this game for the first time, I'm gonna love watching you play it the second time even more. Good luck!
I’ve been WAITING for this!
I'm trying to figure out where to find the crossbow, assuming that is later game though. Great video! Can't wait for more.
Brooo I missed watching you when you first did your valheim playthrough, alot of stuff has happened and I lost track. I am so happy you are also doing this game too, gonna be binging your playthough before I touch the game.
I think Kelvin is the only friend on the island I can trust and rely on. Like Wilson in the movie "Cast Away.
The best is, he can't even hear you ranting and cussing. Since he's deaf haha
Explore your starting area especially the snow one. Follow the stream up and you'll find a bunch of goodies. Kage you were so close to it.
Poor Kelvin, he probably has a pretty severe concussion and definitely ruptured ear drums. But hey, as long as he can haul logs 😂
I'm keen for this series. Been years in the making
Kage I love watching your videos because you get down to business and just start playing! Keep up the great work! Excited for this series❤
I have waited for so long for this game to come out
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME!!!!!!
Woot! So HYPED now that this game is finally out. Gotta get the game now and play 😄
I learned of The Forest from you. I had to buy this game as well. It's so, so good!
For me green hell is my favorite survival game followed by the forest then DayZ with modded servers. Green hell is just exactly what I think of when I think of a survival game. this looks like a must play as well.
We all need a friend like Kelvin
I spawned about half way up the mountain near a big pond, not sure how beginning spawns work but I definitely spawned in a different area that wasn't snow.
Same. i think it might depend on what season you start in
From my understanding there are a few different starting areas based on the season. Ex autumn has a couple spring has a couple etc.etc.
you crash as soon as you close the laptop. Keep it open and they will fly around the island.
kage that spot you built in is gonna be really tuff there is no log cart anymore so you really wanna build in a
heavily forested area
Not going to lie as soon as this game droped
I knew exactly who to go to man keeep up the great work u are the best person to watch play though by
Ohh yeah been waiting for you to play thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Kage you legend. Couldn’t wait to see you play this. Keep ‘em coming man 👍💜
So hype for this cant wait for more videos
Holy shit, those mad lads actually did it, They took "The Forest" and just made it even better!

Hey Kate, you can always get Kelvin to get fish for you. Use the notepad and if you build a drying rack he may even put them on it for you.
👍One of the first here Good luck with the new Series!
I can't believe that it's out and I'm happy to see kage playing it can wait to see the base that he builds. Don't forget to go big kage. Love the video as always
Glad to see you playing this
Damn it Kage.. you just made me go load up Steam and buy the game.
So weird seeing him land in the snow when my helicopter always ended up underwater!! Very cool!!
I missed this game coming out. Geeze I remember when The Forest wasn’t even finished and I used to watch game play. Game looks great I somehow missed the hype train for this new series. Looks very good.
Hype !! Lets go man !! Thanks upload more pls thanks and lets go !!! your answome !

It also runs well on the steam deck at quite good settings. Havent been this pumped for ages!
Nice start! Hope you’re able to find better food sourced next episode!
Kelvin can fish for you
I am so tempted to buy this game. Haven't played The Forest because the way it played gave me headaches to even watch with the field of view and motion blur. This looks almost too good to not try though.
In real life, don't ever drink from a stream that close to the ocean. It will be brackish water, a mix of fresh and salt water, and will make you quite sick.
I can imagine that your playing this game with a big smile kage
OMG please keep this series coming
Wow, all the games I've started I have spawned in the same location beside a lake/waterfall. I saw someone complaining about spawning on a snow mountain and thought I was crazy lol
Last night I skipped the opening scenes very fast and I spawned not far from the beach
Wow, the crafting system is next level realistic. I love it.
just bought this game cant wait to play it this weekend
OMG so excited to watch this series!
Took me an hour and a half to purchase. Pending for over an hour then it failed and I had to buy it again. But totally worth it. Now we just need a hot bar or atleast a scroll to change weapons
Now I've got this game let's see what so good about it
Man sees a arboreal forest... calls it a jungle! Man sees a Orca, calls them sharks! lol!
I was wondering when you would start this, but you were right on it!!
I started next to a lake. Same crash scene. You need a shovel at the golf cart area. And if you want the pistol, look to the ocean. 😆 I won't spoil too much for you.

Hey Kage, if you havn't alredy, would be cool to make a post on the community tab ranking your favourite survival games. Cheers
yer was crazy trying to buy it xD tok me about 30 mins, ben waiting for ur vid (:

Go to the green dots. 1 has alot of food underground. It's crazy 🤪 😆
@@timbaker2024 That is true, but most if not all the food found there is more of a last resort kind of food. To me at least.
Kage. My man. I been waiting for this. Please for the love god stream this.
cant wait to watch this series!
Kalvin the chill Zombie 🧟♂️ lol
You probably already know by now but you hold the inventory key to bring up your backpack to quick swap items.
know its 'early access' and thats a modern term. is this one ov those 'early access' games that is actually playable? or is it like RDR2 Fallouts Cyberpunk where you dont really get to play it untill all the bugs are worked out 3 to 15 months latter?

Hyped for this playthrough
i have to work so i can’t play till i get home, until then, super excited to see what resort you build on this island 😆
its out? OMG more Kage...
I'm looking forward to a complete series of sons of the forest
Full game and story
Was waiting to see how long before you pressed the round buttons, not saying why but I think it's a cool feature..
Also you can send Kelvin I believe to gather fish but I wonder if it has to be near a pond because he seems to work within a radius. I'm trying to figure out how to heal mine because he got smacked in the head with a log and now has blood on him.
You CAN tell Kelvin to get fish for you
I told Kelvin to get some fish while I built a basic house, when I checked on him he had collected 9 fish lol.
Not sure if anyone has told you but if you had of kept following that beach line you first start on you come across a small camp that has a machete stuck in it
U can find 3D printers in the cave on way to beach. U can print things but get the flask first
You can hold I for quick select
IF you find a way to hot bar, can we get a short on how to? love all your vids. hope you never wanna stop making content
So, are there 3 opening scene/start locations? The Beach, The Middle and The Snow Biome?
Keep up the good work!!
