I had really high hopes for this game and I even really enjoyed it at first but I’m just upset with where it’s gone. I really hope Endnight is working on a massive update that will cover all of the issues players have brought up but I’m concerned that they are pretty much done working on this game.

the system doesnt even make logical sense, in the cold, you'd want to move more to heat up. You would ostensibly not have any less energy just because you're cold, if anything that can inspire someone to start running around more. this is definitely a system that should be only tied to hunger, thirst, and rest.

[baraka]

Honestly I think they should have asked the community about fixing the game instead of them doing it because they don't know what they're doing it's almost like deck 13 except deck 13 does not care

[octopusguy]

This is just laziness. They didn't want to fix it, so they made it a feature...

As much as I like Forest/SoF, I really dislike the stat number difficulty method. Giving enemies more HP / reducing your stats is not satisfying. I personally would always prefer if the higher difficulties would just equate to more enemies, or enemies generally being more agressive instead of waiting their turn to die. My favourite combat moments in both games were when I was mobbed and cornered, forced to use my expensive equipment to get our alive. Not shooting the same enemy 20 times because their HP reached mind boggling levels. I mean, on the hardest difficulty, I saw people eat two shots of buckshot dead center more times than I'd like to count.

Additionally, when I saw spear thrower cannibals and armored ones, I was getting so hyped for them to start learning from the player. The more you fight cannibals, the more they'd evolve their arsenal. Outside of boat motor giants, I don't think there is a single upgraded tech variant.
Imagine how scary it would be if we saw them make bows and arrows, fire or electric arrows, start setting up rudimentary traps around their camp site, or even make a pipe pistol with all the ammo around.

I get that this isn't a AAA game, but still, I'd rather have bowman cannibals, then another boosted health reskin of the same thing we fought an hour ago

The irony of the situation is that EndNight took a jab at Bethesda in-game with one of the power tool posters. "It Just Works."

[weirddestiny]

omg I have for a long time related to your frustration with this game compared to most bethesda games, I want to play and enjoy their games but damn its hard sometimes.

[Robert-ptjz]

Sorry im not watching the video, but i did give you a thumbs up.

Used to watch your videos all the time, dont want spoilers for sons though, looking forward to a console release sometime!

Have a good one Farket, your videos are always enjoyable, sure i will check them out for some tips when i get my hands on sons!

[joeykerr]

I can't with this game sometimes, lol.

[Scientist_Albert_Einstein]

Can you do a video about playing on "real time" mode? People think its on real time, but most things are not, for example, batteries energy get drain fast, also cooking food and boiling water takes way too long even for "real time." I put water to boil and i recorded a 20 min in real time, i went to do other things and when I came back water had boil, but it took more than 20 min which is unrealistic. Now I am stuck in this game mode.

[CoreyAReeves]

maybe someone at endnioght waas drumk...

[boncinini]

Tbh what does hunger and thirst even do, i always have it under 25% or dont have it at all, you doesnt take damage because the lack of it, if not the stamina that regenerates by eating u could live without it

[nathanmitchell]

Not to stroke me own fella but ive always said Endnight are just incompetent when it comes to game design, whether its a lack of preplanning phase of devlopment or just laziness i really dont know but its the first game i was super excited to play only to an experience that barely even knows what it is.

[grumpymonk]

Not sure why anyone even still plays this game.

[maninthesnow]

Ok when i see a armsy or something fly up 150 feet for no reason I’ll believe they pulled a besthda

[monarch]

You say pulled a bethesda but in my opinion bethesda got away with it this is just vile

[SMiThaYe]

Ain't played this in a while, if you need to use a custom game to get around this bug do you still get achievements?
And thanks for the very well explained video, had to watch it twice though. Not your fault, just what are Endnight thinking!?

[extrawhiff]

Your supposed to be done with this happened

[crizpacito]

people are now only hating on the game because farket doesn’t like it anymore. give y’all balls a tug

[Kaimine]

This feature is dumb XD. Lets be honest. This game has three priorities.

Building
Killing/Defense
Exploring

Unless you do multiplayer, then it's a little different. Top priority of this game should be placed on making building easier and most fun. The biggest issue I find is that End Night wants to force the community to only play in the way they see fit. Nothing wrong with it, but it's so different from their previous game that it almost feels like a different genre. Fans are frustrated and new fans only see this as a casual game with friends. Sometimes End Night comes up with these goofy ideas like cold and stat penalties and I gotta ask...who are these even for? The cold thing is understandable. Your cold, your fingers don't work worth a crap and you just want to go someplace warm so energy levels are eh...But the stat regen thing? That doesn't make sense. This isn't even the type of game where gimping yourself makes the game more fun. It just makes it more frustrating. Especially when you get killed. You then end up in a camp god knows how far away from your base and there's a good chance enemies are there so you're just going to get killed again and lose all the progress you made earlier. It's not fun to get killed and making life harder on yourself makes it all the more furstrating.
