Big bearded Bear Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Hi everyone Just recently new to the forums and thought I would say hi to folks So, I enjoy a variety of games from shooters, RPG, Multiplayer to survival games etc. But I must confess The Long Dark has most definitely match my favorite gaming series and thatās Fallout, which is not similar I know, but survival is the key factor in both games. The only way I can express how good TLD is, itās like Fallout, Green Hell but on steroids. I just love all the survival elements you have to take into consideration, especially in the early stages of the upper tier survival modes, is the weather going to change for the worse and do I have enough clothing so I don't freeze my butt off and how the hell am I going to survive a wolf attack with just the basic protection (yeh I know donāt get spotted) let along being attacked by a moose or bear. Even though I have played all the four Wintermute stories I was in for one hell of a shock when I went full Interloper mode on my first survival run and yep, I died pretty damn quick. So, this old timer though, ok Iām gonna have to think this through and learn. This is what I love about this game itās a learning experience every single minute, hour, day and the slightest miss calculation and your food for the crows. Just need to play some appropriate background music, just to remind me not to die, like āAh, ha, ha, ha, stayinā alive, stayinā aliveā. Damn they were a good group and still are, well those who are left. Must confess if any veteran survivalist had seen me starting on interloper straight after the story mode, they wouldāve either laughed or given the old double facepalm with a triple āNoā head shake and a big Dāoh to top it off. I originally got the game via Xbox Game Pass, but bought it anyways, so I could help support the dev like everyone else, because it's such a fantastic game. Although there is just oneĀ downside time passes really quick: HolyĀ Tin Cans! Batman, do you know what time it is; yes, indeed I do Robin 23:45 GMT which means bedtime, or I be falling asleep at work tomorrow. Damn I loved them old Batman series when I was a kid. "POW" "BANG" Brillant. P.s Congrats to everyone at Hinterland, because youāve made one hell of an amazing game and hopefully, Iāll have enough experience behind me to try TFTFT on interloper when comes out on console next year. OMG I canāt wait. Ā Ā 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many laughs, exploding sex dolls, chandelier job, and Delboy tries to teach Rodney how to flirt with women in the gay bar, there all good, but I do like the scene where Delboy and Trigger are at the Bar, and the two women look over and Delboy say "we're on a winning here trig, play it nice and cool, nice and cool", and Delboy goes to lean on the bar, but the bar flap has been raised up.
