swamp is the first obstacle

as much as i complain

it's a good games

game*

Ironically, I almost think the Ubisoft approach would make me feel more accomplished, even if it made the game worse

Swamp could be: "earn favour with this faction, so they lower the bridge for us: and then just have you do open world bullshit for a few hours until it's time to go to the next map

It's a very different feeling that they have right now, which is cool/unique

But (at least in the Swamp) I never felt like I was doing anything

I was scraping by to get from point A to point B

I'd clear a camp, but it's not like that would really get me anything

That is how the desert feels

Actually

I'd argue most of my time was spent driving in the desert

Unironically

the most fun part of the desert is the spider dungeon

whicu hurts me to say

Oh no

Its just

i can literally describe EVERY other part the same way

"WE NEED X FROM BANDITS, GO GET IT ARTYOM"

and then you go

head shot 4 bandits

I like so much about the game, but there are a couple gamey systems I wish were done better

I wish it wasn't open world

just gona say it now

after playing it,

It doesn't work.

I wish they did "open world" better

I'm serious, copy Ubioft

When I heard this metro was going to be somewhat open world

I thought of a free roam metro with the city overtop

which would of been 10000000x better

That would have been cool

IT WOULD OF BEEN SOO COOL

mapping out and exploring the metro, using railcars to your advantage

using the surface to get more supplies

a whole city to explore

but nah

lets just make a swamp with 4 bandit camps

Actually, even if it wasn't quite that, but you had more freedom to move between a bunch of "open world" city sectors it could work

Thst would work

I just don't think this format works

There's no point in doing any of the open world stuff aas it is, which takes the fun out of the open world

I didn't agree with you when you first said that a day or two ago

I like the feeling you get though, it' a lot like Stalker in parts

I just wish there was a reason to do everything

I think if the areas were better and there was a better plot

this format COULD work

Nothing interests me about bandits in a mad max setting

We need water and fuel from them? Ok cool. That's the whole point of being here

incredible

In hindsight, there was no reason to 100% the swamp

THE TWO UPGRADSD THOYGH!!1!1!1!1!1!

Literally nothing is needed if you know where the upgrades are

The map is laid out really well, and it has a good number of points of interests

get helm upgrade, get revolver upgrades

But there's no point

I know you said there's a lot of notes

Een something simple, like marking the shit on my map I've cleared

Would go a long way

but i wish they made them more noticeable and more relavent

There are a lot of notes but they're all so borring

Same with audio logs

yep

couple funny ones

I was really hoping the cannibal camp ones would be interesting

Nope

it's literally just

"ha ha we eat ppl nowxd"

My favorite one so far, was the one where the guy is accidentally recording over his tape

YES

The music one right?

Yes

"How the fuck do you work thsi thing?x

And I was wrong, I thought there would be more collectibles on the map, other than the guitar/bear

I thought their had to be

Nope

There isn't.

i googled it

I did too
