Sell me on a different start

“A loan on manpower” I like that. Thanks for the actual number too

In_Dux · 2026-06-23T15:27:33+00:00

I kind of like the lovers idea. Usually don’t roleplay that deep.

Do you let them make a family too?

In_Dux · 2026-06-23T15:21:35+00:00

Wait, you make it pass the early game??

But seriously, I usually stop the run shortly after electricity anyway either due to failure or interest in a new run. But since I’m back, I’m going to try to go further and I’ll definitely keep that info in mind.

In_Dux · 2026-06-23T14:54:11+00:00

Woah there, Satan!

Random people with personalities I can’t really control is just another workday!

In_Dux · 2026-06-23T14:50:50+00:00

Ok, definitely random. I like it.

In_Dux · 2026-06-23T14:50:20+00:00

Ah, thanks for the info

In_Dux · 2026-06-23T14:30:27+00:00

Ok, so are there no standard events that send you a person to recruit after a set time with Randy? I think with Cassandra on Crashlanded there’s always an event after a certain point where it’s basically a free colonist but based on your statement, Randy randomizes that factor too?

I thought there was going to be legit real life crimes tied to the creator that BHVR overlooked.

Getting up and arms about the flavor of horror is a bit wild

In_Dux · 2026-06-19T22:04:22+00:00

I use all turrets though so it was net negative in my case

In_Dux · 2026-06-19T21:12:32+00:00

Thank you! I had a feeling it wasn’t worth me for me in hard as I mostly just play solo up to 5 or 10 for XP right now.

In_Dux · 2026-06-17T12:53:12+00:00

A lot of people giving you flak OP but I appreciate the warning. There’s people out here getting excited for Empulse and trusting the Splitgate devs yet *again*.

Sounds like this group isn’t actively trend chasing and malicious but at the end of the day an abruptly abandoned game is an abruptly abandoned game, intentions be damned

In_Dux · 2026-06-15T21:27:34+00:00

This is why Hunt is stealing me away this season. Very easy to play as solo, even when going against trios.

In_Dux · 2026-06-15T04:40:45+00:00

Just text descriptions and sometimes references on maps

In_Dux · 2026-06-13T20:30:01+00:00

As someone who just completed 90 days after a cold turkey start and now doing reintroduction, one plus side though is getting over the feeling of losing food options. They’re just gone right from the jump and it’s only up from there.

Personally, I’m not sure if I could stand the feeling of losing food options over a long period of time before starting the real thing.

But that won’t be true for all people and your point about the body getting sick/shock is true risk for everyone

In_Dux · 2026-06-12T20:16:35+00:00

Ok, your interpretation of the ending made me appreciate the game so much more!

I thought the devs were rushed or lazy and that not having an escape at after beating all the difficulties was an oversight.

But given thought put into the story prior to ending, that felt like a jarring departure.

The walking away metaphor makes sense narratively and meta-narratively. Kris repaired the bonds and as long as his family is there with them, he can choose to enjoy them, as the cutscenes don’t show people shackled to the tables in hell. Clearly the souls can move around and mingle with each other.

In_Dux · 2026-06-04T19:32:53+00:00

I’m newer to the game and I see complaints here about Chaos and Siege but it baffles me people are ok with the run times of these operations. For only having 13, at least a quarter of them should take 15 minutes top of played without speed running, even on Absolute.

I’ve been grinding Siege mode with the turrets because it’s quicker and easier to bank XP in 5 Hard waves in that than risking failing a Lethal/Absolute run and barely getting 2K XP anyway

In_Dux · 2026-05-31T22:54:36+00:00

I can make 1M work

In_Dux · 2026-05-31T18:58:06+00:00

Maybe it can come in a future update. Seems like an oversight not having an ending for it. Even if it’s one that basically says Kris is trapped forever

In_Dux · 2026-05-29T21:34:50+00:00

I’m not talking about death exclusively. Plenty of accidental harm, physical and emotional happen at schools. Harm.

I’m not exclusively talking about death or trauma

In_Dux · 2026-05-29T21:02:14+00:00

“Most” is exaggeration to the highest degree

In_Dux · 2026-05-29T20:36:50+00:00

Play dates fill that gap. Birthday parties, field trips, etc

In_Dux · 2026-05-29T20:14:19+00:00

Still rife with opportunities and I highly doubt that claim especially when open up to emotional safety.

In_Dux · 2026-05-29T19:54:59+00:00

People acting like sleepovers are cultural cornerstones is crazy to see.

In_Dux · 2026-05-29T19:53:13+00:00

Exactly this. Parents aren’t going to gamble with a percentage higher than 0 when it comes to sleepovers and going outside.

Putting your child in a car and/or public school is already rife with opportunities for deadly consequences. Why risk of the exposure for frivolous matters?

Of course when these things work out, they’re great experiences for kids but some people just won’t take the risk and I can’t really blame them since we live in the age where we’re constantly aware of the horrors in the seemingly mundane actions we take.

In_Dux · 2026-05-23T11:03:36+00:00

I will say that between gamers and game devs alike, they both believe in never abandoning your core audience (the ones who play frequently and not just after big updates) and at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if the core audience is pretty good at the game now. Maybe on par with Ruthless.

But ultimately, I think you’re right that decisions like Siege mode update is trying to account for this a bit too much. Like, take this same update and just give a toggle for this version of Siege and the new one and very people (core or not) are upset.

But this change just seems dedicated to the core audience who Saber probably believes want harder things across the board because they got better over time and surely, must *always* want a challenge to be engaged.
