Thank you, it does feel like its disjointed like that. Personally, the overall plot to me feels pretty generic for a zombie story, but not really bad exactly. It's the characters, the story focuses all its energy on playing with characters that just feel adolescent at best and down right irrational at worst. I cant think of one redeeming quality of any of the main cast that isn't undermined at some point, and character motivations are consistently unclear, not to mention how plot points have little to no buildup and many of the characters seem to be caricatures for the sake of the developer appearing to give minority representation. I do give it props early game for the tension of freaker heavy locales with your underpowered weapons and non-pinpoint accuracy. But by the time I started actively seeing and dealing with Hordes, I could wipe them out with most blue tier rifles and submachine guns with a couple standard molotovs.

The color and lighting just looks better in the e3 demo. The final build looks more cartoonish. Still a fun game.

[@danriordan6395]

The retail example is a noon setting on an overcast day while the E3 demo is late 'Golden Hour' just before sunset with clear skies. Without cloud coverage, the sun is a single point of light in the sky which casts hard shadows. The color of the sunlight at 'Golden Hour' is 'warmer' as it passes through more atmosphere to reach the surface, which is very cinematic and pleasing to the eye. During ~noon time, the sun is overhead and doesn't have to pass through as much atmosphere, so more 'blue' (or 'cool') light reaches the surface (making everything look more blue); also, a layer of cloud coverage diffuses the source of light and causes it to be much larger, which makes shadows look much softer.

I can actually see why individual combat doesn’t seem as impressive as let’s say The Last of us, and why the game had so may bugs at launch, the focus of the devs went towards the danger of this zombies apocalypse, which isn’t one fast or strong zombie that could murder you, but angry mobs that won’t give up if you started to mow them down with a machine gun I gotta say, now that i see it, the Horde AI and the way they interact with the environment is pretty impressive

I’m glad there is a New Game+ option by now. I’m currently on my first run and I can’t shake the feeling of having dealt with many situations in a rather uncreative way. Maybe I explored too much of the map to soon before the story could progress accordingly. Most of the time when encountering a horde I just used molotovs and other explosives to quickly reduce their numbers. For my New Game+ I will try to use the environment much more, since that seems to be the intended (and also more rewarding) way to engage these encounters.

If E3 demos wasn't scripted as hell, chances are the demo tester (if it isnt a computer-driven demo) would die from unpredictability. E3 don't have the best track record when showed live/relied on unscripted demo (there is a Playstayion game demo, don't remember the name, that during the E3 just after they said the battles will be "realistic", a giant crab showed up and there was a moment ef silence for the truth.). So I can understand that the actual game is a lot more unpredictable, and in a way it gives a little more challenge as people who watched the demo a few times would breeze through this fight.

Damn. I’ve played through the game twice now and I know the horde can break through walls and stuff but I didn’t know the environment was this interactive. I didn’t know you could pull down that door, cut down the logs and planks, or the conveyor belt. This is genuinely very impressive to me

[@DialgaMarine3]

Honestly, the fact that the horde is so much more random is both realistic and increases the tension by a huge amount. A large herd of aggressive feral humans wouldn’t follow you in a straight line if they had multiple options of getting to you. This means you can’t just continuously run and occasionally turn to shoot and eventually be good; that would honestly make the horde boring. On a side note, I feel like Bend took out the small cutscenes to give the player a more constant feeling of control, since too many small cutscenes is something people tend to gripe about in games, but now some people are upset they’re not there? Make up your minds.

[@first5435]

9:56 speaking on that change in the layout and how you wanted that “classic zombie scenario. There is a section in the game where you unlock the Napalm Molotov and take out your “first horde”. In that town there is a two story building which has the animation that was supposed to be at the saw mill. The scene plays with you running into the building and the animation plays with the doorway being blocked off and the horde pressing around the house. You can then walk up to the second story of the house over a balcony and see the horde trying to crawl their way up to you. Just wanted to mention that. So it wasn’t that the scene was “completely removed”. Just that it got relocated for a different horde.
