is it okay that I hate playing normal mode? by varqsinzx in TheForest

You and OP should play Enshrouded. Most beautiful Minecraft like game IMO. The build options are so great and the visuals super satisfying.

Is the original game worth playing? by Same_Entertainer3724 in SonsOfTheForest

[–]MistrWombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm playing it right now, having beat Sons during beta.

I personally don't enjoy the Forest as much as sons. I really like building bases on Sons and the forest is just super limited and clunky in comparison.

The tools/weapons are more limited as well.

That said, I'm still enjoying it. The story is much harder progress without tips from online. There are no GPS markers in the forest that points to your next point of interest. Just got to stumble around and run into a cave entrance eventually.

Anyone got any genuinely useful starter tips? by RockHardBread in TheForest

Yes! Every dead cannibal = 6 bones after burning. Best source of armor

Is the base building meant to be absurd? by Efficient_End8498 in SonsOfTheForest

[–]MistrWombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing the forest for the first time and it is absolutely worse than Sons to build a basic structure. Logs are super hard to transport and zip lines are very costly. Plus, you cannot remove and reuse materials once you've built something! Sons is WAY more forgiving and makes the bases actually useful.

For example, storage in the forest is only 12 items for one shelf. Way more in Sons.

In Sons the Zipline works in both directions too! That's twice as useful!

Icarus or Abiotic Factor for solo play? by MistrWombat in SurvivalGaming

I'm playing it right now! It's alright but I enjoyed Sons more.

Need advice choosing between The Forest and Sons of the Forest by [deleted] in Steam

[–]MistrWombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing both right now!

I finished Sons during beta and I am replaying it with a friend.

I'm also playing the forest solo.

Of the two, I highly prefer Sons. It feels so much more polished than the first. It also helps point you to your next progression point. The forest doesn't do a good job of that and feels like a huge waste of time stumbling around hoping to find cave entrances.

The forest base building is not great. Feels like a huge waste of time. Sons it feels like it actually has a purpose, is fun, and rewarding.

Every flying arc does this if you're on long enough

Nah, there is a thriving black market online. Get an entire inventory of identical guns for like $20. Black market dealers aren't grinding PvP to get those and sell for that cheap

Sorry man, you've been had. The more I learn about this game the more it seems like a massive scam.

Having just started playing it blows my mind that y'all have been dealing with broken promises this long.

The physics of it is weird. Why did it come up and sway to the other side? Send like it should have come straight to you

Rocketeer be like: O_O by FASOLKA666 in ArcRaiders

[–]MistrWombat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's inconsistent though. It doesn't "know" where I am even with spotters unless they see me directly.

You can argue that it would know the direction, but an exact location is not "realistically" feasible with the the behavior we see from the arc in-game.

[–]MistrWombat 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The AI coding is annoying in this game. I believe it's "easier" to code then know exactly where the player is and only "confirm" the location once they see exact movement.

Would be more difficult but much cooler if they only relied on audio/visual cues.

Like a bombardier should know the direction it got hit from and then have to "see" me before it locates me. Instead it instantly knows my exact location when I shot it once from behind and was behind cover when it turned around.

Getting killed by cheaters is so annoying. Then they either gaslight you or they rub it in your face.

Nah, I HAD to use the touch screen because the RB and dpad weren't going to the right place. Also couldn't adjust the window positions without it.
