The end of The Long Dark is in sight after over a decade in development, culminating in a fifth and final story episode that is '3 to 4 times as big' as episode 4 (www.pcgamer.com)

TLD is one of my favourites but the way they have handled the story episodes isn't great. It's all long overdue and they release extra dlc before finishing it off which is kind of bullshit.

Thankfully survival mode is infinitely more fun anyway but I do hope they stop updating the game (from May with the planned graphical updates due) before it loses it uniqueness.

Also it's on sale right now on Steam for ridiculously cheap so I really recommend you buy it. Like I said, even with some small issue the game is a favourite and well worth even full price.

Don't forget that they were one of the main devs raising a shitfit when Steam brokered a deal with Nvidia to allow users to stream their entire Steam library via GeForce Now. They wanted to force players to buy it a second time to stream it. A game they already owned.

They've been dead to me ever since that greed-fueled tantrum.

I'd forgotten about that but I don't mind what happened and blame Nvidia not Hinterland. If they are going to make money off of others then they should at least get permission from Devs to be part of it.

And make people pay twice for aomething they already paid for? Nah, fuck that double jeopardy bullshit.

How grindy is the story mode? Is it like The Forest where you can go through the entire thing in ~10 hours without building a base or more like Subnautica where a base is necessary and it takes like 30 hours to complete?

It’s episodic and each episode is its own self-contained thing. You don’t build bases, but find shelter and your gear changes for each episode. You’ll still need to scavenge and craft, but it’s not

I see. I guess it's kind of like The Forest. The type of survival game I might enjoy.

I want to get into this game and its story mode, but I, for whatever reason, can’t get it to click with me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Survival mode is where the real fun is. Your first 10 attempts will end in an easy death while you learn the game but it will eventually click and you'll survive for 5/10/50 days and you'll love it.

It's just a extremely boring walking sim.

Wait this game has a story now? I remember when it came out and it was just survival in the snow. Barely stayed alive for 3 days. It was amazing(ly hard).
