Some video of my first few hours of game play

Hey guys,

Just got started with this game. This is my first few hours of attempting stealth, avoiding zombies, and finding loot summed up in one clip.

My only criticism so far is that it seems a bit choppy. I don't have the sleekest rig so I'll probably run through one of the 'video settings' tutorials and tinker with some of the effects to get a smoother experience. The motion blur was irritating me, but, as I understand it, turning off post-processing effects removes this?

I've been following this game for some time before jumping into it (had some projects to finish first before I could take some time off). I heard all the commotion about removing the starting weapon and such.

Not sure if things have been changed since then in later updates, but in my first two characters I was able to find a hatchet pretty quickly. I think thats a decent compromise. Maybe if you wanted to make it a bit easier have players start with the hatchet, but I can't say I'd complain if they don't. I think it would work either way.
