As a new player you would think these dumb zombies as you say would not know where you are if you break LOS but they do because you did not realize you had to stop for two seconds after breaking the LOS. It goes against a sort of logic that one expects from a game. Or how zombies dont naturally form large moving hordes, you can kind of hack it with group sizes and try to crank up the migratory settings but its not really the same. or a lack of zombie variety and i dont mean different clothes +Sure some problems can be solved by mods, but mods should not have to fix the game for the devs, they should expand on whats already there. This hurts because sometimes those mods go out date and then people will just say +>oh will mod it yourself! +No, I would like to base game to be functional thank you. I mean it does have bad survival mechanics thats not personal preference, you cant even die from the cold!

It's relatively free from street visibility, put a pair of sheets each over the doors leading outside and to the cafeteria, the windows inside the library, and the kitchen windows looking into the cafeteria, and you'll almost never be spotted from outside. There's a staff room with a couch for sleeping off to the side. The bathrooms are centralized, largely separated from vision from outside, and with a sledge you can turn them and the nearby storage room into a giant living space with three exits. The school yard south is nearly entirely high-fenced in and easily fortified with carpentry, plenty of room for farming. The kitchen has two fridges, the nurse room has med supplies, the locked storage room outside usually has a generator. You'll never run out of mags and books to read. Ton of furniture to disassemble, and a ton of water sources. It's reasonable distance from town and easy to divert hordes, and it's surrounded by lootable houses and harvestable trees. +Stick a generator between the double windows for the classroom next to the kitchen and it'll cover the kitchen, bathrooms, and staff room. +I usually secure it day 1, then run out to the supermarket and stuff everything perishable in the freezers (including sacks of produce in the back), then loot as much food as I can from the nearby buffet and restaurants. It covers my needs for the next few days of scavenging for other essentials and once a car is acquired to lug back all that frozen food I'm well-fed for months.

Glad I bought a copy of 4 and 5 years and years ago second hand. Never got around to buying a console to play them on though. But PS3 emulation has come pretty far. +Yeah. I was hoping to grab 3/LR/N=9B/Nexus to go with my copies of 2/AA/4/4A and fucking scalpers inflated the prices to a point where even Dobson would think the price is too freakishly large. That said I might try to grab loose copies and repro cases. I only ended up with a PS2 in 2010, so I was incredibly late to the show. Managed to get a lot of great games for next to nothing, but there are just as many I missed out on. +--- 426175673 +>>426175379 +Ah yeah my copies are EB games bargain bin ones so they have the janky case with no cover. I don't have copies of the PS1/PS2 games because even way back then I couldn't find a copy locally and shipping them from overseas was too much for me to care when I can so easily emulate those. I got my copies of 4, For Answer, V and Verdict Day with the intent to actually play them but then I just never got around to it. Shit, I still have to finish Master of Arena and the rest of the PS1 lot, come to think of it. +I played rented copies AC3 and 4 when I was younger but don't have those consoles anymore for reasons. +--- 426176559 +>>426175673 +>Ah yeah my copies are EB games bargain bin ones so they have the janky case with no cover.

I think I might slowly try to get copies of the 3 era games now and either buy or make repro cases for them, all this talk of AC has me a bit excited. Pic unrelated, just a surprisingly aesthetic and stylish weapon loadout I put together. +--- 426176885 +Vostok update seems fairly minor, I thought it'd be a new map.

Hell Let Loose requires you to grind to unlock shit, which is already a big departure, but you could try that if you don't mind it. You could also try PR, as they also have WW2 servers, or Forgotten Hope 2. Easy Red 2 as well.

A large contingent of people will only play once it's 1.0. +The people that made the video could have shared it to multiple social media sites begging for clicks because they thought that might have helped them win. There's also the fact that not the same few hundred people are playing every day. They rotate. I believe you're drawing conclusions from data points that are very loosely related to one another, and there's many factors that we don't know when it comes to the youtube algo. I think your post is trying to oversimplify things to a broad "videos don't work to promote your game" which is ludicrous.

Darkest Hour turned into some shitty PR clone, then you have the other PR clones. There is nothing to fill the gap left by the Red Orchestra series.

That's about it off the top of my head.

Quickly after, the guy I shot at, shoots me twice with a crown and king and I'm dead. Such is hunt. He then messages me that I'm trash. It just felt ridiculous. An hour later, it irritated me.
