  1. Xbox is pretty good. There's no other game quite like it on the platform. Right now it's free to download with Game Pass.

    A few solid sessions in....

    Figured out the farming now. You need a shovel or a pick, then all your food troubles are over. Set the plot up anywhere there's dirt, and the terrain allows with the right trigger. Then plant some seeds, they're fairly common. Then water. A full plastic water bottle will do. Wait around ten minutes. I don't even bother with meat now. Eat a pumpkin and you're pretty much set to go. Disappointing that there's not more to grow and do with it. Maybe in the next, next update. They should probably do something with farming animals (building places to keep them etc). I'm here to check when exactly this 1.11 update is going to be. It has just hit the 16th here and there's no point in doing anything until it is done.

    Two days in and all that happens is starving to death. There's no food anywhere. I don't need clothing so much as I need food. Yes you may be able to fish, but the chances of finding all the bits to make that happen is slim. Not enough food. Can't eat worms even. Can't catch and eat chickens without other tools. This whole game is a pile of steaming shit. Same mesh interiors, blocked doors, raincoats that don't protect from the rain. If it rains you pretty much got to wait it out or get wet and get a virus, which kills you in the same day. Can't go one day without character starving to death? What are you people doing? Do even live human? You don't die of starvation in one day you fkn idiots. A cold doesn't kill you in one day. That would make it more dangerous than the zombie virus. The menu system is clunky and shit. Can't even swap between weapons without opening the menu. Don't reinvent the wheel. There's so much shit mechanics in this game, it's going to be hard to find enthusiasm to continue. Fix the food issue with more food to find and longer starvation meter. I could do that in five minutes with the game engine. What is wrong with you people? You are close to something gold in concept, but you've got some idiots working for you. It's not going to end well Bohemia Interactive.

    No food in any of the buildings. No fruit, no point in getting chicken unless there a knife and can make a fire. Got rained on. Whipped out my glowstick and went raving with a zombie. It didn't end well.
  5. I'll take your tips on board. Last time I tried sticking to the coast I starved to death with a fishing rod in my hand and no shovel to get worms. They need shellfish, like clams or mussels to scavenge. They need to model some proper fruit trees. That was confusing. Sometimes there Is no food at all. It has been picked clean. Sometimes I get spawned in a forest and there's nothing. Just death. I'm beginning to love to hate this game.

    That virus thing is bullshit. Had equipment and food, started vomiting, discovered one has to wash hands. Then died. Lost everything. The chances of finding a cure was next to zero. I don't even know what this game has as a cure. Antibiotics? I had some multi-vitamins, that didn't work. Between juggling the bullshit food meter and catching a cold three times a day, this game is not hard, it's just bullshit. Fix it. I have high hopes for the sequel.

    Omg, my character is sick again from magical disease carrying raindrops. Just dumb. They have confused hyperthermia with a virus. Go read some biology books. You don't get a virus from being wet.

    If they are going to make rain such a big deal, put some umbrellas in. Some rain coats. Something. Being stuck in a house because of some water is stupid. Also, it's stupid you can die of dehydration while water is falling from the sky.

    You're an idiot. Shut up. Go get a life and don't be snide you turd. It's not hard at all. It's crap. It has potential but the X-box version is barely functional. I haven't even begun to pick the full flaws of this game. If you think this is great, you got no idea what you're talking about. It's more tedious. A lot of the actions are not worth the effort.

    Food is too much of an issue. Have these characters got some kind of disorder? Severe diabetes? They starve to death and collapse within a day. It's not realistic, don't try to convince people it is. I like the idea of a difficult survival game but this still needs a lot of work.

    Still at it. Lucky it doesn't take a lot of drive space or I would uninstall it. It's like something from 2005.
  12. There's no food, no nothing. No animals no trees no fruit. NOTHING. The hunger meter has you starve in a few hours game time. It's RUBBISH.

    True Survival?

    It's not real because the food meter is ridiculous. I got to eat after crossing a paddock and go from fed to dead within hours in game time. The same day. What's up with that? This game needs to be rebalanced entirely. The health meters are way off. Also, hyperthermia is not a virus, like a cold. You don't get a cold by being wet. Omg this game is a mess....
