What Happened To The Game I Loved - No More Room In Hell 2 First Impressions

[@ThatGuyPredz]

Just here to say "I told you so" Carry on

[@johnmclain250]

Yup, I sadly get to say the same.

[@gametech4101]

What made NMRIH 1 unique: - Risk of infection when grabbed by a zombie, which will turn you into a runner if you don't suicide or use pills - Suicide option - Zombie kids - Minimal hud that only shows up when necessary - Bandages that can only be used when you're bleeding - The hopeless atmosphere telling you that the world is beyond saving, thus you only fight to survive "NMRIH" 2 lacks all of those criterias. The 2020 trailer felt more like NMRIH than this.

If the game is taking place in the USA, it makes perfect sense to have guns and ammo sitting around everywhere. In fact, thats pretty scarce numbers of a 100 rounds of ammo. I use several hundred in a day at the range.

[@pyromancingking]

Only two gripes with the video: the original had a compass that would bring you to the exact point you had to go to in most cases and HUD elements informing you about bleeding, health and infection. The other gripe is that a lot of people forget how gun heavy NMRIH 1 was. You rarely had a lot of ammo but it was drip fed pretty regularly and guns themselves were common because the game is designed around 8 players so with less players, you had even more guns/ammo. What really limited you was your inventory space and bringing essential items.

[@spacehitler4537]

Yeah NMRIH with optimized play means you can basically mow down all the zombies. Unless the map is SUPER stingy and never gives you bullets, and those maps were generally ignored since they also had bullshit spawns.

[@Kenneth_Molotov]

Hey old tester here: some bugs that are still in the game since 2022 aren't fixed idk how they did that and for the maps in 2022 we had 3 maps: night of the living dead, broadway 3, waloboro and each one has differents endings either escape with a train or a boat that need either a generator or do X they had much more content in terms of maps even a mall map, generators to powerup a gate or a antenna because we were supposed to be rescued not saving the world the wheel was actually still there in 2022 idk why they changed it and the ammo types...we did all said that the heavy, medium, magnum, light rounds is shit, we wanted the old 9mm, 45acp, 9mm, they acknowledges it and they didn't do anything, the zombies..how did they managed to do this ? we were 8 ppl in the same place CRAWLING with zombies and the only problem was lag because it was on us servers but no rubber band no nothing only the teleportation when you got grabbed but man...even the health you needed to check manually how you are fellings and infection was a thing, zombies kids were a thing and suicide too

Really great video. I am glad to see a reviewer who has actually played NMRiH 1 and compares/contrasts the two. Blows my mind they went with only 1 big map instead of smaller varied maps like the first game. Why is every game company so afraid to make a nice 4 player coop game with a level select and a bunch of standalone levels? Everyone of them tries to be open world and it just ends up with so much filler, I hate it.

[@ministryofwrath]

the fact they went from pre-made characters that were memorable, to saying you can now have character creation, to PREMADE survivors? they just lost my sale, at least at launch. they really dropped the ball on that, how can you put something out INFERIOUR in ANY way to a game from that long ago? that was >FREE

Customisation. This is the death of most games. Why build a level, rework infrastructure, work on the network capabilites when you can work on a new shirt. As an ex dev but never worked on a game like this. How long do skins actually take to make? I sure could do with my character showing these things tho.

[@outdoorsvoyage6993]

People who try to cope just remember: Developers will always try to show the best they have, especially before a few days of going on sale. So just even though this is a "older" version they play on. Most likely it will be the same we will get. Maybe with a few fixes if we are lucky. They will NOT be able to fix all bugs in this video and add all kind of maps. I was hyped but I will be fooling myself if I know this game wont be "it" at release, maybe when it has baked 1 year in the oven. Until then I will just boot up the real no more room in hell. Hope it will be good at release but I think we are approaching a very low probability that we will have a succesful launch.

[@elijahwashington259]

So essentially the game has a myriad of technical issues which I'm not too surprised to see given that it's an early access launch rather than a 1.0 launch. Honestly the only concern that I can see with the game on launch is going to be content/replay value. While yes the devs have said that they intend to add more maps, weapons, enemy types etc. I don't see that having a massive impact if the player count is already low when the content arrives. Other than adding more content ASAP (which btw I don't think should be done, please take the time to polish the content) I feel the best way to keep players engaged in the game up until then will be through the difficulty and making the completion of the map fairly difficult i.e. resource scarcity and mob density, personally I am not a fan of the difficulty selection I think having a hardcore difficulty across the board will help with keeping the games identity in line with the first game. I have high hopes for this game and want to see it succeed but only time will tell.

[@a.keeper]

The problem with the game being full of technical issues currently is that Torn Banner Studios took the game away for 2 years, right before the original early access launch date and somehow it looks like the amount of bugs only increased, not to mention them overhauling, changing or outright scrapping a ton of things that were done or planned before TBS' acquisition of the game.

[@elijahwashington259]

@@a.keeper I see, didnt know that Torn banner had acquired the IP thanks for the info. Was it just the original mod team who was making the sequal ?

[@a.keeper]

@@elijahwashington259 yes, they were making this game for 5 years, on their own money basically then TBS came in around a month before their planned early access date. You can still find a lot of stuff, like 3 whole maps and basically most of the stuff that was in the original (infection, children) shown off on the NMRIH youtube channel

[@cloudnine2330]

Another problem is lack of modding support idk if they are gonna add it, but with the game now being a live service extraction thing we probably not gonna see tons of custom maps and content like the original and modders keep games alive and fresh way longer than devs

[@rhythm6161]

I think people will be completely correct to write this one off, even 2 years down the line. Frankly I think everything about this looks terrible, and is not NMRIH in any way. They removed everything that made NMRIH unique, everything that made it NMRIH. They changed and ruined anything that NMRIH 1 did very well, and everything that made it so iconic and so fun. It's like everyone just came together and said "hey, has anyone played the first one? what's it like? no one? ah whatever im bored, lets make tarkov" So, if 2 years down the line, they scrap this entire game, ditch their publisher, and make a whole new game with some new devs and very different ideas, I will be back to give it another chance ;(

Hey hey, was excited to see what you thought. I like the unfiltered criticism but in all honesty (and I am very critical of a lot of things in this game too), I felt a lot of the criticism here wasn't really fair. Your graphics were likely changed to an unfinished option and then complained about it not looking right. Most of the things you mentioned are things I think are likely to improve overtime, not actual design flaws with their goal. I don't like the new UI or inventory as well, but most of the other things such as too much ammo are probably things that easily get fined tuned. Still, I enjoyed hearing your thoughts.

[@WhiteKnightFN]

Another thing to remember is everyone that got access to this got an older build to test out not what is currently being worked on. A few other people i've seen talking about this game so far haven't been having as much issues with the performance so could be hit and miss depending on the persons set up. All we can do is wait for the release next week and see how much they have fixed.

Fr, the texture definitely shows it ages due to it being source engine but it does bring that old school horror vibe to it, again like cry of fear or something like silent hill vibe definitely make it bleak and despair which is what it tries to emulate a survival situation where your group is possibly the last remaining human in the seas of the dead

[@azureraine2505]

It feels like this game just spent so long in development hell that the original intent and desire was probably scrapped and restarted years ago. It makes me sad since I've waited for this game for years, I even played the original gmod server back in the day before they became their own thing. NMRIH is still amazing to me and I've gone back to it every so often but this is just too different from the original to even be considered a sequel in my eyes.

Sounds like a game a 14 year old you enjoy but other than that idk

[@Lem_Nade_Music]

please make them add a toggle to remove the HUD, it's literally the only unique thing here, like in Metro (minus the absolutely crazy good worldbuilding and story)

[@bniy]

Jesus, it's like they got people who hated the mechanics of the original game to develop this. Still going to get it, but wow

[@AnimaMik]

"Still going to get it" And that, my friends, is why we keep getting games like this. You vote with your wallet.

[@JeromeLad_94]

Seems like a soft version of hunt showdown

[@prax7807]

Why is it that people are incapable of making a good zombie game like ever (PZ Aside ofc)

[@leelime9857]

1 map launch XD what a joke ....game looks like hot garbage anyway

[@Dr.Dude-schitzo]

What if you press k in the new game??

[@ses7238]

Yea kinda expected this, it might be a good zombie game but its not going to be a nmrih game

[@doogleleafenthusiast]

Looks incredibly repetitve.

[@wartoaster3908]

shit i remember playing the first game it was awesome

[@lordbastich]

You seem to dislike a lot of the game's core elements and it looks like a technical mess - so why are you still going to be streaming it on day one? Like wouldn't this playtest tell you to avoid this for now?

[@Saulbreadman]

I figured it was gonna be bad it has generic as hell written all over it.

[@loggen3870]

Skills? Well they just killed the game. DOA Your not the main character in NMRIH. having skills imo makes it a Rouge like instead of a pure survival scavenger runs. Skills will make the game easier then it will become less scary. The best part of NMRIH is you are a weak idoit so when you do win the fight its great.

[@blainebickle1178]

well they said the difficulty would scale with the players' levels. Have to try it out to see how that balances out

[@rusty9x196]

They can make it work my friend... "can" Because of the perma-death needing to feel like a gut punch you have to lose stuff, now skills aren't inherently bad, a veteran survivor would be better at a few things, stronger arms, stamina, but nothing to over the top. It's a good idea on paper they just have to execute it.... I have low hopes though

[@Nevecus]

Literally grab the pipe or machete and the game is done. You're only a weak idiot if YOU are a weak idiot. NMRIH is not a hard game in the slightest.

[@blainebickle1178]

@@Nevecus toxic much? you must be fun at parties

[@Nevecus]

@@blainebickle1178 A little, but it's true. The first game isn't hard at all unless you manage to get yourself cornered through poor decisionmaking. Even then, several weapons can pop skulls with minimal stamina use and get you free anyway.

Also, the "version" a game company sends out for play test, is literally the latest build of the game. Sure there may be a few patched adjustments from some changes in the present build that are fixed. But what you received is what you will get at day one. If a game studio has a better version of the game, trust me, they will not send out what sucks first for the first impressions they will make. That would be completely asinine, and foolish. If they literally said this isn't the reflective of the day one build, they straight up lied to you.
