Sons of the Forest - All Weapons

[@ISOCATO]

Despite people not liking the animation , i love it it has its own styles and using the GPS while shooting is funny like gunning down a cannibal while making sure you're not going away from the cave you wanted to explore

[@MAKAVEL-IAN]

I actually dont hate how he shoots with the gps in one it actually kinda reminds me of atomic heart how p3 will being doing something with his left hand and still will be able to reload and also I dont think it would be crazy if a highly trained mercanary would be able to double task between holding something and shooting

[@CreepyPersonCube.]

Have to give them credit for using a crank on the crossbow instead of using his naked hand. Gordon Freeman can do that, he's in a powered exoskeleton suit. For everybody else it just makes it look like your crossbow is made of yarn. Am I right people? 10:07 GIVE. ME. FIVE.

[@SainsSDR3SD]

I agree

[@peppermillers8361]

Gordon uses a specially designed lever in Half Life 1, and in 2 it has a mechanism for retracting automatically.

[@CreepyPersonCube.]

@@peppermillers8361The lever in HL1 is a straight pull with his hand, and the suit does the work. In HL2 the string kind of just magically sets itself up for him. Quantum physics no doubt!

[@peppermillers8361]

@@CreepyPersonCube. It was a weapon designed for human beings, I highly doubt that outside of extra leverage from the suit, it's mega hard to pull without it. Look up the concept art, the retracting bolt is actually intentional. It's a mechanism that retracts itself, VALVE just did a shit job at displaying it, whether through animation or sound.

[@CreepyPersonCube.]

@@peppermillers8361It's possible you're right about the xbows, especially the HL2 model. Kind of just popped into my head first. I'm kind of hoping one day for a game where you reload a xbow via foot stirrup, where you have to actively look down to step into the xbow, then lift your camera to simulate using your whole body to draw it. I stand by my high five though.

[@BootDranker]

Kind of weird that the devs didnt work on making the gun animations better for the full release but at least the game is fun

It is a horror game, if shooting was less clunky sure it may be more satisfying but also less scary.

[@fluffycube96]

for those of you that say the animations are bad on the guns which I personally don't find that bad- not saying they are god tier. I think you have to come to terms that Endnight Games (Indie Game dev team that created The forest and sons of the forest) is a small team and this is they're 2nd time creating a game. many people expect tactical COD God tier animations but this is a survival game not cod other video games with similar reload animations are games like SCP: Secret Laboratory And DayZ and people highly enjoy them at the end of the day we are here to enjoy the showcase and not solely rely on just the animations.

[@sunbather1576]

Ready or Not; Scum; Squad; Ground Branch among others would all like to have a word with you.

[@tanybrachid]

The animations in SCP: Secret Laboratory and DayZ are far superior to these ones. And SCP Secret Lab is an indie game, too. It's obvious that these will be polished further in the future, but you can't deny that this isn't as barebones as it gets.

[@GhostFace-sovietico]

[@josephvictory8046]

[@emtcantaluope1367]

Really hope they can polish more before 1.0,I like the new features they were trying to add and I enjoyed it, but most of the part is either like it's made in a hurry or just straight up ported from a web game, Like the goofy ahh golf car that I hated and loved, and the gun,I loved how the shotgun single hand pumping animation is badass, but yeah, this game needs either a 1.5 or a 2.0, but from the looks of it, 1.0 is the last update ever

[@Caynesss]

Guys , this is not some kind of cod with awesome animations, everything in this game is so awesome, what the hell don’t you like?

[@cookaboi9039]

The animations are terrible. Very stiff and awkward, take too long for many things, and unrealistic. The slide locks back when you reload, even when it’s partially full, there’s no weapon sway, the weapons are held in an awkward position, the rifle animations are dumb as hell (should be faster, and typically you grip the bolt with the top of your hand), there’s no scope for the rifle, the revolver animation is super weird and buggy, the shotgun has an extra animation that’s useless, takes longer, and just sucks, the shotgun also goes into your chest when you ads, the pistol laser goes on top of it for some reason (also a problem with the shotgun and crossbow), the sounds are underwhelming. The pistol is one of the worst to me, as it is way too quiet when suppressed, has too much recoil (your character has the same amount of recoil with a 357 revolver for some reason), and shit animations.
