The Long Dark

The Long Dong :-DDDDDDD

Any tips for this? Just started playing it and so far it seems to be one of those "as soon as you finish eating the bar is already empty" games. You know, those games where you have to drink 8 liters or water, eat 4 times your bodyweight and sleep 18 hours per day. I hope I'm wrong.

STOP PLAYING SHIT GAMES ASSHOLE

uninstall.exe

Yep.


wew lad
uninstal.exe indeed

It's still in early access right and they want to do some episodic bullshit.

yeah don't bother, it's shit

Literally all the had to do is tweak the settings so you can go realistic amounts of time without starving to death because you didn't eat 30 candy bars and 2 whole deers today, then release the game like that and rack up the cash from the survival autism crowd like mine

Is it? I thought it did its official release on August 1. Anyone have any expectations for the movie for The Long Dark?

If they didn't half-ass the survival mechanics into some arcadey bullshit and actually implemented realistic time frames and more options for crafting it could be the best survival game on the market.
But no, enjoy your story mode.

The only tips I have are:
1) Keep moving, the game will punish you with wolves for staying in one location for too long.
2) Find the frozen whaling ship and remember where it is. You need the furnace in that shit to smelt scrap metal to make arrowheads or else your bow is fucking useless (unless they actually fixed that shit in an update).
3) Don't get wet.

That being said, after you get enough warm clothing and learn how to hunt (or just make snares), there's no more challenge. Probably easiest place is the coast – indoor places everywhere, all viable for squatting, nearby mines with respawning coal, shitloads of good loot, animals to kill everywhere

Game seemed promising at first, but after you get past the initial difficulty and ensure basic, continued survival, you want to explore, but with the game going "lol it's night again, better go to bed rite nao" every fifteen minutes or so (during which you don't cover that much ground either), it just gets tedious.

This. Wolves will spawn even in indoor areas with locked doors if you linger around too long, unless this bullshit was also fixed in a further update. (knowing how these perpetual early access games work, I doubt it)
Not willing to check for myself though, I'll jump on the wagon that the best tip for this game is uninstall.exe. The wolf bullshit was the final straw for me but it has lots of other flaws.

get out LeBron.

I remember playing this a while back. Matter of fact, I still have it installed, played it only once I believe. I remember some extremely stupid shit about your character needing two hours to melt a liter of snow, and then boil the water.

God I don't know why boiling snow somehow takes 2 hours and you absolutely must be sitting right there keeping an eye on it the whole time. God help you if you need to chop some wood. Snapping six branches in half will just wipe your little numale ass out.

Maybe the MC was actually intended to be an obese burger. Simple tasks tiring him to the point of wanting to take a power nap, feeling on the brink of starvation every two hours, needing an entire day to walk a few hundred metres… it would all fit

Doesn't it take place in Canuckistan?

In case you bought it refund it. Pirate the game if you really want it
