@@baverfjant I found it hugely satisfying that the Swedish voice actors also voiced the English dialogue. I thought it made the English dialogue much more immersive.
Not to be too dramatic but the first time I ever played the game and night fell and I had to rush to a safe zone was unlike anything I've ever experienced in a video game before. It doesn't sound that special but the feeling and ambience of the surroundings really makes it
@@S0n0fG0D most of them are only weapons and to help you out for base building and vehicles, the two other ones are story and i say its pretty worth it.
I have actually lived in one of the old Swedish 80s underground Fortresses for like 3 months. It was a place called Hemsö Fästning close to the city of Härnösand, and the Underground Fortresses in the game nailed everything to identical. The layout, equipment, beds, doors, stairs, machines. It was like going back down and visiting the ones I was in again. The devs did a fantastic job.

few little bits of knowledge, you do not need to spam the healing items, the basic ones heal like 15 and the better ones heal more, the weak spots on machines change from type to type but every one has some sort of external fuel source which is a weak spot, plus you can shoot off their guns (the head is not really a great spot to shoot), all in all great video and this game is awesome (been playing for a few years) hope you come back for more and look foward to future vids, Subbed!
The base ones acutally do 25 but this decreases if you max out the "Health amount perk" then the basic heal only does 19. Same with all the other heals.
@@datoofgaming9370 I've tried using most of the skills across all the 4 characters I've created and I've found that some of the support skills are better suited to multi-player although I've noticed some streamers don't use adrenaline. Some lobbies don't use safehouses and killing large mechs that appear on the map is a breach of etiquette that favors looting. People forget about specific spawn locations where large machines appear even on an "empty" map
It's kinda cool to see how they added additional sound for gun fire when in the bunker as it normally would. Very impressive with the level of detail they added to the game.
The title of this video is spot on; Generation Zero is a great game, and I actually just play it solo for the most part. It does a great job of making the huge map feel so eerie because EVERYONE has basically vanished, and there are these strange robotic creatures roaming around and they are dangerous as hell. It can be a tough game as the robots are powerful, but you slowly start building up your arsenal with better and stronger weapons to even the playing field a bit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
The sounds in this game are actually awesome. When you shoot a gun, it echos in the woods like a real gun. Thats so realistic! Edit: Would like to see more
One of the bigger problems with this game I found was that some sounds aren't so realistic, the wind in forests often sounds like a storm and covers sounds that should be heard over it, a TV on empty channel can be heard from far away, and sneaking on some stone and floors sounds like you were wearing wooden clogs and stomping on metal stairs.
@@AnalystPrime the ambience sound is intentional. But highly doubt your unable to hear other sounds because it covers up other sounds (no seriously I highly doubt it. ) The TV I can somewhat experience but this is rare.
They also made fighting robots satisfying, something that can be a bit hard to do considering they don’t bleed or grunt, but the way blue sparks start flying when you hit critical components, the sputtering sounds, that nice pop when you hit a robot’s battery, the ability to make even the robot tanks stagger if you hammer them with .50cal or rockets in critical areas, they nailed it.
I’d watch a play through! All these quests where the npcs talk to you are updated versions of the quests. Same objectives but updated! Also you guys were entertaining and actually using the lure into trap strategy pretty effectively!
Yes Tomo. Been playing through this for a few months with a mate. It’s a good laugh. Nice to see I’m not the only one on it. Rad video as always cheers bruh.
I tried gen zero a couple years ago, didn't like it - the combat, the empty world... But I tried it again a couple months ago - LOVED IT. They've filled out the world, gave plenty of things to do, and I like the combat - Definitely recommend it.
This game is very awesome a I personally loved how the DEVs said that damage is persistent on enemies and that holds true. The game personally plays well and the story is great in my own opinion. Glad you covered it.
I love how you keep bringing titles most people won’t have seen or even heard of. I really enjoyed this gameplay. I’d love to see more Marauders content too. That game is ace
best tips i can give you if you want them is: loot containers re spawns every 2 hours so long as your away from that area but manage your carry weight! early on its good to stock pile a bit of everything till you find the guns you like the most, your storage box has a limit so remember to break down things you dont need like lesser quality guns and attachments for crafting parts, steel is your friend! its used in bullet making and most crafting for later, tho some things are better to break down then others... you can find it ealry on by looting the pre killed dogos and checking under car hoods dont worry about getting killed there no real penalty then your pride learn the difference between armor, component, and raw damage armor (damaged by AP ammo) is things like armor plates, grill and vent covers, most are protecting the most components under neath. component (damaged by FMJ) this is the soft electrical under belly or even openly exposed bits and are considered there major weak point: things like fuel cells, spot lights, ventilation ducts, there faces / eyes you can even shoot there guns and other weapons systems like blast waves or gas clouds off with practice raw damage: no bullet is wasted but it will do less damage, any hit thats not damaging armor or components gets marked as raw damage towards its over all health (so you could kill a hunter by shooting in the toe but it will take 3x as much effort) also any damage by breaking parts off (even armor plates) does health damage. healing: small is +25, standard is +50, and advanced is +75, you can pre use a med kit during its pull out animation to skip the applying animation with practice stealth is a real part of the game the robots dont just know your there, but better tiers have better more powerful equipment to see you with but also better loot! and lastly have fun it can be a bit of a buggy mess at times but its much better in co op (also loot is separate so you can share your finds if your co op friends need it)
If you find any enemy schematics, there's a 3d model in the Log menu that shows where the fuel tanks are. On a Firebird, it's on his backside opposite the gun. They changed the loot spawns so they'll reappear if you run away 200m and return but it might be different for adrenaline, clothing schematics and found weapons. Daily challenges always give blue/3 crown weapons and crafting loot. The sewing machine allows you to upgrade your clothing perks for your outfit but you need to have the previous tier equipped to get the next level. 10% bonuses are a good alternative to spending your schematic points on crafting loot you can find in the world. Hats, hair, glasses, gloves, jewelry and facepaint don't get any buffs, so I hope you like changing hats! Fall damage reduction is an easy win early on and really comes in handy riding motorbikes off-road
This game is all about sneaking past stuff that is too big to handle with your current gear. I played a free weekend ages ago and really enjoyed it. I don't think this game had much in the way of marketing sadly. Also, the bicycle is a valid form of fairly silent transportation. Really glad you are giving this a go.
I don’t know why, but the motorcycles are broken for me lol, I can just ride past machines and they barely see me! Other than the time two tanks saw me…
I was riding my bike and came along a group of 5 or 6 hounds, essentially marching single file. I didn't see them, so they completely surprised me. But as they marched right on by, they had no clue that I was even there.
I've been playing since launch and its one of my favourite games It wasnt always this good It used to be a buggy unplayble mess with barelly any enemy variation Its come a long way since launch and i'm glad to see that its finally getting the attention it deserves Heres an enemy and weakpoint list Fnix machines: They have 4 classes Prototype: the weakest enemies with almost no armor and bad weapons, they're the orange ones Military: sligthly more armored with more weapon variety, they start using poison gas, they're the green ones Fnix: heavily armored with really powerfull weapons and always some form of explosive as a secondary, they're the black ones with red wires Apocalypse: completly covered in armor all their weapons are either incindiary or toxic and cause damage over time, they're the blue ones with glowing parts (you wont see Many outside of hjimfall) Divided into six machines Ticks: the small ones Can be normal armored explosive or toxic depending on class Seekers: the small flying ones that allert other machines if they see you The only difference between classes is the armor and call distance Runners(aka dogs): the dogs Shoot them anywhere they're all weakpoint but if you want to snipe the shoot the eye or gas tank to insta kill Hunters:slightly bigger two legged ones Shoot the weapons, the gas tank on the back and to the side or below the eye Harvesters: big 4 legged ones These are easy up close and hell at a distance as they only have ranged weapons and have trouble Turning, everything on the back is a weakpoint they can spawn hunters and dogs Tank: bigger two legged ones You can shoot the guns off but its hard so shoot the eye and optics(the little computer above the weapons), if you shoot off the face armor theres 2 weakpoints and the back is all weakpoints but they turn around very fast and can shoot behind them with some weapons Now onto the soviet machines: These will shoot fnix's machines 3 classes Scout: same as prototype just green and not orange Soldier: stronger weapons and heavily armored, they're a darker green Spetznaz: same weapons as soldier just a lot more armor, the white ones The soviets have 3 machines (a new one came out with the motorbikes) Lynx: the little ball thing Shoot the eye or the ball and weapons Wolf: big crab that can either stand up or roll around with its legs folded Can only use its minigun when standing and drops lynxes from the back, on the sides of the head it had missile pods and healing systems, shoot them out then go for the back of the head after it drops the lynxes, the face has a weakpoint under the armor but it has too much health to easily take off Fire bird: flying thing bigger than a tank Good luck trying to shoot the weakpoints on this it moves a lot Never stop it has explosive weapons that do AOE damage Good luck it only gets harder and harder
Honestly great fun to see new people get into this game, reminds me of when me and my pals started this game for the first time, we've just gotten back together to resume playing this game too thanks to the latest updates. I certainly agree that it's a pretty damn good game (although I say that a lot about underdog kinda games lol), as someone else noted the story and lore is quite interesting and well worth looking into as well!
Yes! Thank you, Tom, for taking a look at this. My brothers and I bought this day one and had a blast playing it, despite a plethora of bugs and shoddy net code. You do play the story mode/campaign in co-op and it's a quite well written story in my opinion. Please do more of these and show off the skills and clothing system if you can as that's part of the games charm. Also, you can make your characters look absolutely ridiculous. :) [Edit] This game is also included with Xbox Gamepass so if you have that, absolutely give the game a try.
I play this game ever since it released. Beautiful outdoors (I dare to say it is among the best looking open world shooters of this times), regularly added new content, captivating combat, good stability (it was bad at release, now it rarely crashes), met a lot of good players there. I can recommend it to anyone who loves tense, open world games with cold war aesthetics and terminator franchise.
This game is definitely best with friends. I haven't played the new update yet but i have well over 700 hours on this game. Shoot for the little tank looking things on the dog's (runner's) back. Shoot the speaker looking thing on the top of the flying seekers. Ventination panels on the sides of the hunter's (two legged mech looking ones) head as well as a fuel tank on it's back. havesters (many legged giants a bit like spiders) take out it's guns first, then shoot off the armos on it's legs , the eye and the gas canisters under where the guns were. Tanks (two legged big boys), shoot off it's weapons then the armor on it's legs, then just keep going for the eye. You CAN blind it to a degree if you can manage it. It also has a fuel tank that can speed up it's death if you take it out. The ones that have names are strongest. You get the most loot from them if they are level 4, so once you gear up, don't kill them until you have them at level 4. Their level is dependent on the level of the region you are in, which goes up by killing bots. If you get a region to a high enough level, the Reaper spawns, and he's TONS of fun. Keep walls between you and him. When he farts out that gas cloud, if there is nothing between you and him, you're toast. I usually fight him from inside a building if I can, or at least around a building i can keep ducking behind. The new update has new bots that I haven't seen yet as I no longer have anyone to play with. I much prefer to play with a friend when I can. :) Edit: Crouching is your friend!!! As you upgrade clothing, you can make yourself quieter and more stealthy too, but the key when going into a new place is crouch crouch crouch so you can see them before they see you! going belly down when you are getting much closer to the bots can hide you even better and give you time to aim for a good shot. try not to stick right next to each other when you fight the big boys because their aoe's can take out two as easily as one
This game Rocks and even more fun with a bud or two . Glad you did this after the new update and would love to see more of this as you have only scratched the surface .
I'm happy to see you giving this game a try tommo. It's better with a friend. And it gets really hectic when you get deeper into the story and progression.
I remember how it encourages planning at times, like how a beacon was guarded constantly, and i didnt bave a gun to blow it up, so i crawled up, placed explosives, the gas canister ones, then set them off and ran
You must have missed the baseball bat. You can circle strafe any enemy with a melee weapon just as easy as an lmg if there's room for that. Saves bullets too
I love this game! I play it a few times a week. Listen though there is a mega robot called the reaper. In order to get him to spawn your region level has to be above 21 and you have to have 7 rivals. The 8th rival will spawn and have a chance to be a reaper, if not then kill the lowest ranked rival(because region level goes down when you kill a rival) and make sure your region level is 21 or over and hope the reaper spawns. If not rinse and repeat until he does. If the reaper spawns bring a ton of medkits a ton of ammo and a alot of adrenaline.
There's something with these cool games and UK accents that makes these videos livelier. I'm a new subscriber and I'm looking forward to more creative content. You guys' rock! 🤘
I've put quite a few hours into this game and I'm really happy to see it getting some love from more creators lately. It's actually a really good game to play with your mates.
Look out for different types, the main robots are scouts, ticks, runners, hunters, tanks and harvesters. There are different classes of each, prototype, military, fnix and apocalapyse. There are also 3 soviet types and classes on map, they will fight the other bots but also attack you. You also get rival bots on map randomly depending on your region threat level (checked through map)
Such a good game. I remember the excitement when Alpine Unrest came out. OH MY GOD! THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE ALIVE! I’d spent months trudging around Sweden with my mates with nothing but the voices on tape recordings or answer machines. Creeping through bunkers, bricking it, because you we do squishy. Amazing.
I played this game all the way to the end with a buddy. Honestly at the time we finished it they have added so much that needed to be in the base game. It wasn't early access when we played, but felt like it compared to what I've seen of it now. There werent even NPCs. This was last year. Watching this video makes me mad at the Devs for not saying it was early access when I bought it.
I love this game, I live in Copenhagen, I've been to Sweden a couple of times, I can assure you that the houses and cars and general feeling is spot on.
I played Generation Zero 3 years ago, this video makes me want to play it again. The worst part was moving around the map but seems like it is made better with the motorcycles :)
U gotta utilize fields radios I’ve got like 6 placed around the beginning island. You can place them wherever u want and fast travel as long as ur underweight
My only problem with this game which is more of a wanted feature if anything is ammo loss on the reload. They got the right idea with a bullet being in the chamber then you have you legitimate magazine. Other than that the day/night and weather cycle is super nice. Scary when your playing alone and suuuper fun with friends and a gun pack so you can move a bit quicker along the story line. Glad to see this game has its niche community with a pleasing gameplay. Another feature would have to be CROSSPLAY I can’t play with my friends and that’s one of the main things that makes this game fun is the cooperative
You two get to enjoy generation at its fullest, I still remember when the farmlands was the only area and when the possibility of a NPC would make you VERY happy.
My son and I have played this a couple times. We didn't get very far, but it seems like they keep updating and improving the game. Enjoying the content. Keep up the good work.
I can't believe how much new stuff this game has. Like 3 years ago I put 200 hours into the game and I just had an erge too replay it and wow it's a new game from when I played years ago. And yes it's underrated but has its fans.
My wife and I played this in CO-OP back at release when there were NO NPC'S or story at all. I want to replay it now that there are voiced NPC'S in it!!! Good job on the video chums!
As a Swede, I can vouch for the environment! The robots have stayed in Skåne and Blekinge so far, but apart from that they nailed it! The lichen-covered granite is so common here.
For most big enemies, you'll want flares and fireworks to distract them, place explosives below them, and shoot their rear for tanks, harvesters you'll need to shoot the upper portions
One of the most fun games we’ve played co op. Early game being stuck in a house trying to stay alive with missiles raining down and those dogs busting in! Was just push bikes then, didn’t know they’d introduced motorbikes!
This game is pure awesomeness! I fucking love it...shit ton of content, MASSIVE map, the atmosphere it's top notch. So much to do and explore. And the gun play is incredibly satisfying!
After playing Gen Zero for a while now, its interesting to see the new effect that you newer lads have for bots I have little care about these days in the game
Hope U Guys keep on going with Gen Z its a awesome Journey with so much Love and Detail inside the world. Fun fact : Shot a machine today and Run away, next time U find that machine its still has the damage from the Fight some days ago. Love that Game never played a Game so much Times since years Greetings from Frankfurt Main Germany Hope U continue this Game 😌
That game was the only one that made me feel excited and nervous about searching places. They made every piece of equipment enjoyable to use and the enemies feel daunting but killable with enough focus and planning. Me and my friend became boss hunters at one point, seeking out the bosses and going to put them down.
This game is really good, I’ve played pretty much since launch, it’s had its ups and downs, however the story and combat are great fun multiplayer or solo , it’s great to just explore solo and play on higher difficulty levels, I would recommend skirmish setting for most balanced gameplay, a great game I hope to see a sequel and more expansions !
Those things are quadrapedal and bipedal BEHEMOTHS, and if you get 7 rivals and a high enough region score, if you're not properly equipped, pray to GOD you don't encounter the Liemannen (reaper), THAT is PURE DESTRUCTION AND PAIN INCARNATE...
I love how Tomo used a sample of his 6 year old sister's scream at 8:15. (Small lie to protect his manliness as he screamed like a tart LOL) Also, is that supposed to be a Commodore 64 at 22:52? How cool is that??!??!
I bought myself and buddy this game after watching this video. Returned to say we had a blast for the first 3 hours! hoping to play some more tonight. Great vid guys!
You picked a GREAT time to jump in, but also the WORST time. Because the Motorbikes are a wonderful addition, but the regular bicycles are so hilariously awful to use that it would have been great content if that was your only transportation option lmao. EDIT: I would highly recommend playing on a harder difficulty. It gets REALLY tense, even in the early game.
Yo I played this for like 3 weeks straight with my homie. He Uninstalled and I've been DYING to play again. Might just have to run solo Edit: If you see this Tom. The theme is heavily inspired by the Terminator theme.
I played this a few years back before motorbikes was in. The best addition I feel is the NPCs wich was not in then. Also the radio chatter in the bunkers really builds atmosphere. And I would say that the the voices are English with a Swedish accent I would say is by design.
I adore Generation Zero. The game’s stunning, terrifying, and you never really feel safe. At my point I gave a sniper, shotgun and AR, but a few dogs is still enough to kill me if I’m reckless. I will never forget the feeling of terror when I first saw a tank… This game is the DEFINITION of a hidden gem.
Picked it up yesterday day on sale and I should have picked it up when it came out. The atmosphere, the AI is impressive and the world itself is well designed. I've learned to not run, you just die tired. Excellent video, have a sub.
They are a small team, but done impressive work on this game. Played since the early days, the UI was so much different (back when the stamina bar was sliced in parts instead of one solid bar) The updates aren't as fast as triple A games but they definitely do try to fix and add new things to the game. You'll learn as you go. Right now you need better equipment. The larger machines can be a force to be reckoned with. You can also shoot off weakspots and weapons off. (Be very careful no to get too far north. Those Russian bots are lethal. Low on health, but will kill you fast. )
I’m sorry, but this is one of the most atmospheric and detailed, true to life games there is. And the fact that the title music is so 80’s terminator. 10/10 ign. Would play again.
I also shoot guns a lot (UK). And the difference in noise when your shooting indoors and then outdoors is so different. They’ve really done well with the sound design.
As a Swede,...that lived through the 80s.. I can ony say that, except for the robots, of course,...the devs have really gotten the feeling/asthetics right... :) The nature, the buildings, the interiors...even the names of a lot of stuff..
The audio engineer in this game deserves a moment of recognition.
I spent the better part of a day without the godly music just so I can hear the robots better
The audio in this game is one of the best imo, the audio engineer’s name is Peter Hajba, amazing talent.
true, i like the ambience and also hearing battles going on in the distance.
Lol I just cashapped all of the development team 10 bucks each for how well they did on this game
I just recently got a surround sound system, and this game in particular really shines. Gives me chills when I hear the tanks walking around to my sides and behind me, and the smaller robots making their vocalizations. Some of the best sound design I've ever seen
Loved this, it has a great ambience and drags you into the tension.
Gotta say, after being a mil radio user for over 25 years, the voice acting is more accurate than you might imagine. Seemed spot on to me; nervous, unscripted, anxious, clueless... Most people who use a duplex radio system aren't that slick.

Yes Tomo. Been playing through this for a few months with a mate. It’s a good laugh. Nice to see I’m not the only one on it. Rad video as always cheers bruh.
Thanks Robin. Glad you enjoyed the video!
I tried gen zero a couple years ago, didn't like it - the combat, the empty world...
But I tried it again a couple months ago - LOVED IT.
They've filled out the world, gave plenty of things to do, and I like the combat - Definitely recommend it.
This game is very awesome a I personally loved how the DEVs said that damage is persistent on enemies and that holds true. The game personally plays well and the story is great in my own opinion. Glad you covered it.
I love how you keep bringing titles most people won’t have seen or even heard of. I really enjoyed this gameplay. I’d love to see more Marauders content too. That game is ace
Please make a series on this! Really enjoyed watching you both play this
best tips i can give you if you want them is:
loot containers re spawns every 2 hours so long as your away from that area but manage your carry weight! early on its good to stock pile a bit of everything till you find the guns you like the most, your storage box has a limit so remember to break down things you dont need like lesser quality guns and attachments for crafting parts, steel is your friend! its used in bullet making and most crafting for later, tho some things are better to break down then others... you can find it ealry on by looting the pre killed dogos and checking under car hoods
dont worry about getting killed there no real penalty then your pride
learn the difference between armor, component, and raw damage
armor (damaged by AP ammo) is things like armor plates, grill and vent covers, most are protecting the most components under neath.
component (damaged by FMJ) this is the soft electrical under belly or even openly exposed bits and are considered there major weak point: things like fuel cells, spot lights, ventilation ducts, there faces / eyes you can even shoot there guns and other weapons systems like blast waves or gas clouds off with practice
raw damage: no bullet is wasted but it will do less damage, any hit thats not damaging armor or components gets marked as raw damage towards its over all health (so you could kill a hunter by shooting in the toe but it will take 3x as much effort)
also any damage by breaking parts off (even armor plates) does health damage.
healing: small is +25, standard is +50, and advanced is +75, you can pre use a med kit during its pull out animation to skip the applying animation with practice
stealth is a real part of the game the robots dont just know your there, but better tiers have better more powerful equipment to see you with but also better loot!
and lastly have fun it can be a bit of a buggy mess at times but its much better in co op (also loot is separate so you can share your finds if your co op friends need it)
If you find any enemy schematics, there's a 3d model in the Log menu that shows where the fuel tanks are. On a Firebird, it's on his backside opposite the gun. They changed the loot spawns so they'll reappear if you run away 200m and return but it might be different for adrenaline, clothing schematics and found weapons. Daily challenges always give blue/3 crown weapons and crafting loot. The sewing machine allows you to upgrade your clothing perks for your outfit but you need to have the previous tier equipped to get the next level. 10% bonuses are a good alternative to spending your schematic points on crafting loot you can find in the world. Hats, hair, glasses, gloves, jewelry and facepaint don't get any buffs, so I hope you like changing hats! Fall damage reduction is an easy win early on and really comes in handy riding motorbikes off-road
This game is all about sneaking past stuff that is too big to handle with your current gear. I played a free weekend ages ago and really enjoyed it. I don't think this game had much in the way of marketing sadly. Also, the bicycle is a valid form of fairly silent transportation. Really glad you are giving this a go.
yeah, the bicycle is actually kinda fun
I don’t know why, but the motorcycles are broken for me lol, I can just ride past machines and they barely see me!
Other than the time two tanks saw me…
I was riding my bike and came along a group of 5 or 6 hounds, essentially marching single file. I didn't see them, so they completely surprised me. But as they marched right on by, they had no clue that I was even there.
I know I’m late, but the amount of first aid kits he used to heal near the start horrified me. You only need 4 to fully heal
Not that late unlike me
I've been playing since launch and its one of my favourite games
It wasnt always this good
It used to be a buggy unplayble mess with barelly any enemy variation
Its come a long way since launch and i'm glad to see that its finally getting the attention it deserves
Heres an enemy and weakpoint list
Fnix machines:
They have 4 classes
Prototype: the weakest enemies with almost no armor and bad weapons, they're the orange ones
Military: sligthly more armored with more weapon variety, they start using poison gas, they're the green ones
Fnix: heavily armored with really powerfull weapons and always some form of explosive as a secondary, they're the black ones with red wires
Apocalypse: completly covered in armor all their weapons are either incindiary or toxic and cause damage over time, they're the blue ones with glowing parts (you wont see Many outside of hjimfall)
Divided into six machines
Ticks: the small ones
Can be normal armored explosive or toxic depending on class
Seekers: the small flying ones that allert other machines if they see you
The only difference between classes is the armor and call distance
Runners(aka dogs): the dogs
Shoot them anywhere they're all weakpoint but if you want to snipe the shoot the eye or gas tank to insta kill
Hunters:slightly bigger two legged ones
Shoot the weapons, the gas tank on the back and to the side or below the eye
Harvesters: big 4 legged ones
These are easy up close and hell at a distance as they only have ranged weapons and have trouble Turning, everything on the back is a weakpoint they can spawn hunters and dogs
Tank: bigger two legged ones
You can shoot the guns off but its hard so shoot the eye and optics(the little computer above the weapons), if you shoot off the face armor theres 2 weakpoints and the back is all weakpoints but they turn around very fast and can shoot behind them with some weapons
Now onto the soviet machines:
These will shoot fnix's machines
3 classes
Scout: same as prototype just green and not orange
Soldier: stronger weapons and heavily armored, they're a darker green
Spetznaz: same weapons as soldier just a lot more armor, the white ones
The soviets have 3 machines (a new one came out with the motorbikes)
Lynx: the little ball thing
Shoot the eye or the ball and weapons
Wolf: big crab that can either stand up or roll around with its legs folded
Can only use its minigun when standing and drops lynxes from the back, on the sides of the head it had missile pods and healing systems, shoot them out then go for the back of the head after it drops the lynxes, the face has a weakpoint under the armor but it has too much health to easily take off
Fire bird: flying thing bigger than a tank
Good luck trying to shoot the weakpoints on this it moves a lot
Never stop it has explosive weapons that do AOE damage
Good luck it only gets harder and harder
Honestly great fun to see new people get into this game, reminds me of when me and my pals started this game for the first time, we've just gotten back together to resume playing this game too thanks to the latest updates. I certainly agree that it's a pretty damn good game (although I say that a lot about underdog kinda games lol), as someone else noted the story and lore is quite interesting and well worth looking into as well!
Yes! Thank you, Tom, for taking a look at this. My brothers and I bought this day one and had a blast playing it, despite a plethora of bugs and shoddy net code. You do play the story mode/campaign in co-op and it's a quite well written story in my opinion.
Please do more of these and show off the skills and clothing system if you can as that's part of the games charm. Also, you can make your characters look absolutely ridiculous. :)
[Edit] This game is also included with Xbox Gamepass so if you have that, absolutely give the game a try.
What do you and Stodeh think about continuing with a PART 2? Seems like you guys enjoyed it!
I play this game ever since it released. Beautiful outdoors (I dare to say it is among the best looking open world shooters of this times), regularly added new content, captivating combat, good stability (it was bad at release, now it rarely crashes), met a lot of good players there. I can recommend it to anyone who loves tense, open world games with cold war aesthetics and terminator franchise.
Thanks for putting me on 🤝
GFuel?!? How do you only have one like? 😂
Som glad you played and enjoyed this game! I think it is suuuper underrated. Would love to see more!😁
I'm definitely ready for some more of this... Really enjoyed it ☺
Would love to see more of this, I'd happily watch a complete playthrough... Leaving the details sparse at the start worked really well.
This game is definitely best with friends. I haven't played the new update yet but i have well over 700 hours on this game. Shoot for the little tank looking things on the dog's (runner's) back. Shoot the speaker looking thing on the top of the flying seekers. Ventination panels on the sides of the hunter's (two legged mech looking ones) head as well as a fuel tank on it's back. havesters (many legged giants a bit like spiders) take out it's guns first, then shoot off the armos on it's legs , the eye and the gas canisters under where the guns were. Tanks (two legged big boys), shoot off it's weapons then the armor on it's legs, then just keep going for the eye. You CAN blind it to a degree if you can manage it. It also has a fuel tank that can speed up it's death if you take it out. The ones that have names are strongest. You get the most loot from them if they are level 4, so once you gear up, don't kill them until you have them at level 4. Their level is dependent on the level of the region you are in, which goes up by killing bots. If you get a region to a high enough level, the Reaper spawns, and he's TONS of fun. Keep walls between you and him. When he farts out that gas cloud, if there is nothing between you and him, you're toast. I usually fight him from inside a building if I can, or at least around a building i can keep ducking behind. The new update has new bots that I haven't seen yet as I no longer have anyone to play with. I much prefer to play with a friend when I can. :)
Edit: Crouching is your friend!!! As you upgrade clothing, you can make yourself quieter and more stealthy too, but the key when going into a new place is crouch crouch crouch so you can see them before they see you! going belly down when you are getting much closer to the bots can hide you even better and give you time to aim for a good shot. try not to stick right next to each other when you fight the big boys because their aoe's can take out two as easily as one
This game Rocks and even more fun with a bud or two . Glad you did this after the new update and would love to see more of this as you have only scratched the surface .
8:16 I jumped of my chair
ME TOO 😭
I'm happy to see you giving this game a try tommo. It's better with a friend. And it gets really hectic when you get deeper into the story and progression.
I remember how it encourages planning at times, like how a beacon was guarded constantly, and i didnt bave a gun to blow it up, so i crawled up, placed explosives, the gas canister ones, then set them off and ran
You must have missed the baseball bat. You can circle strafe any enemy with a melee weapon just as easy as an lmg if there's room for that. Saves bullets too
Love the feel of the game. Tomo just brings such interesting games to the spotlight. Love to see it.
I love this game! I play it a few times a week.
Listen though there is a mega robot called the reaper. In order to get him to spawn your region level has to be above 21 and you have to have 7 rivals. The 8th rival will spawn and have a chance to be a reaper, if not then kill the lowest ranked rival(because region level goes down when you kill a rival) and make sure your region level is 21 or over and hope the reaper spawns. If not rinse and repeat until he does. If the reaper spawns bring a ton of medkits a ton of ammo and a alot of adrenaline.
This looks like a lot of fun! I absolutely love that in coop you don't have to fight over loot
Most players spend a fair bit of time nagging for extraordinary weapons
There's something with these cool games and UK accents that makes these videos livelier. I'm a new subscriber and I'm looking forward to more creative content. You guys' rock! 🤘
I've put quite a few hours into this game and I'm really happy to see it getting some love from more creators lately. It's actually a really good game to play with your mates.
As a swede born in the late 70s this game is so awesome :D and so fun to play with friends
Look out for different types, the main robots are scouts, ticks, runners, hunters, tanks and harvesters. There are different classes of each, prototype, military, fnix and apocalapyse. There are also 3 soviet types and classes on map, they will fight the other bots but also attack you. You also get rival bots on map randomly depending on your region threat level (checked through map)
Such a good game. I remember the excitement when Alpine Unrest came out. OH MY GOD! THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE ALIVE! I’d spent months trudging around Sweden with my mates with nothing but the voices on tape recordings or answer machines. Creeping through bunkers, bricking it, because you we do squishy. Amazing.
I'm sold
I played this game all the way to the end with a buddy. Honestly at the time we finished it they have added so much that needed to be in the base game. It wasn't early access when we played, but felt like it compared to what I've seen of it now. There werent even NPCs. This was last year. Watching this video makes me mad at the Devs for not saying it was early access when I bought it.
So glad you’ve found this. Been playing for about a year and it’s fantastic.
I had a good laugh when the first tick charged out of the container. "it jumped at me!"
I love this game, I live in Copenhagen, I've been to Sweden a couple of times, I can assure you that the houses and cars and general feeling is spot on.
Please continue playing because this game is fun to watch from popular people! ( If you buy dlcs you get few items
I played Generation Zero 3 years ago, this video makes me want to play it again. The worst part was moving around the map but seems like it is made better with the motorcycles :)
U gotta utilize fields radios I’ve got like 6 placed around the beginning island. You can place them wherever u want and fast travel as long as ur underweight
My only problem with this game which is more of a wanted feature if anything is ammo loss on the reload. They got the right idea with a bullet being in the chamber then you have you legitimate magazine. Other than that the day/night and weather cycle is super nice. Scary when your playing alone and suuuper fun with friends and a gun pack so you can move a bit quicker along the story line. Glad to see this game has its niche community with a pleasing gameplay. Another feature would have to be CROSSPLAY I can’t play with my friends and that’s one of the main things that makes this game fun is the cooperative
You two get to enjoy generation at its fullest, I still remember when the farmlands was the only area and when the possibility of a NPC would make you VERY happy.
My son and I have played this a couple times. We didn't get very far, but it seems like they keep updating and improving the game. Enjoying the content. Keep up the good work.
I can't believe how much new stuff this game has. Like 3 years ago I put 200 hours into the game and I just had an erge too replay it and wow it's a new game from when I played years ago. And yes it's underrated but has its fans.
My wife and I played this in CO-OP back at release when there were NO NPC'S or story at all. I want to replay it now that there are voiced NPC'S in it!!! Good job on the video chums!
This game piqued my interest a while back, but I never got around to it. Now might be the time. Thanks Tomo!
Of course! The new update definitely helps make the game more accessible and easy to traverse 👍
@@Tomographic me and a buddy are planning to check it out now :)
As a Swede, I can vouch for the environment! The robots have stayed in Skåne and Blekinge so far, but apart from that they nailed it! The lichen-covered granite is so common here.
I recently started playing this game i gave it a 10 out of 10! This game is so UNDERRATED!!
Would love to see you two continue this for at least another video or two. Was awesome to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully we'll pick it up again at some point!
This is a good game and good video as always tom
1:34 uuuhuhuhuh you said, “I’ve got wood.”
7:11 the way he munches through the med kits lmao
BY FUCKIN FAR the best audio in any game ive played i fuckin looooved playing this a few months back def recommend
For most big enemies, you'll want flares and fireworks to distract them, place explosives below them, and shoot their rear for tanks, harvesters you'll need to shoot the upper portions
One of the most fun games we’ve played co op. Early game being stuck in a house trying to stay alive with missiles raining down and those dogs busting in! Was just push bikes then, didn’t know they’d introduced motorbikes!
Yo I was playing this before I found this bideo, I love it, much love tomo 😂😂❤❤❤
just love you vids dude, mucho love
Would love to see more of this Tom! I’ve been wanting to check it out myself.
Had no idea those doggo lures were so good. Definitely going to give them a try.
This game is pure awesomeness! I fucking love it...shit ton of content, MASSIVE map, the atmosphere it's top notch. So much to do and explore. And the gun play is incredibly satisfying!
Pretty awesome! Thanks for making the video. A buddy recommended this last week.
After playing Gen Zero for a while now, its interesting to see the new effect that you newer lads have for bots I have little care about these days in the game
Hope U Guys keep on going with Gen Z its a awesome Journey with so much Love and Detail inside the world.
Fun fact : Shot a machine today and Run away, next time U find that machine its still has the damage from the Fight some days ago.
Love that Game never played a Game so much Times since years
Greetings from Frankfurt Main Germany
Hope U continue this Game 😌
That game was the only one that made me feel excited and nervous about searching places. They made every piece of equipment enjoyable to use and the enemies feel daunting but killable with enough focus and planning. Me and my friend became boss hunters at one point, seeking out the bosses and going to put them down.
I really love the variety of contents you upload, only one type of game would have been boring
This game is really good, I’ve played pretty much since launch, it’s had its ups and downs, however the story and combat are great fun multiplayer or solo , it’s great to just explore solo and play on higher difficulty levels, I would recommend skirmish setting for most balanced gameplay, a great game I hope to see a sequel and more expansions !
Anybody notice when he healed he just spammed all his bandages to zero. When they heal over time lol
Why is this game not talked about at all? Looks fantastic.
14:12 "I have little dogs" 😄
Those things are quadrapedal and bipedal BEHEMOTHS, and if you get 7 rivals and a high enough region score, if you're not properly equipped, pray to GOD you don't encounter the Liemannen (reaper), THAT is PURE DESTRUCTION AND PAIN INCARNATE...
I love how Tomo used a sample of his 6 year old sister's scream at 8:15. (Small lie to protect his manliness as he screamed like a tart LOL)
Also, is that supposed to be a Commodore 64 at 22:52? How cool is that??!??!
Tomo, cheers for introducing me to this game mate ! ... Currently on sale on Steam for $7 , I'm gabbing this bad boy .... btw Happy New Year man !
Literally the best game considering it's made by the devs of hunter call of the wild too
I have been playing this game for so long but gave it up a while ago, its so nice to see it get some love
also a piece of advice- shooting robots on the batteries will damage them far more
also also that noise at 13:00 means that a drone saw you and it is summoning all nearby robots, usually just kill lit quick and nothing happens
I bought myself and buddy this game after watching this video. Returned to say we had a blast for the first 3 hours! hoping to play some more tonight. Great vid guys!
Love to hear it. That's awesome!
I wish you play this more, Generation Zero is my favourite game currently and damn it is well made even having some wierd sound bugs...
You picked a GREAT time to jump in, but also the WORST time. Because the Motorbikes are a wonderful addition, but the regular bicycles are so hilariously awful to use that it would have been great content if that was your only transportation option lmao.
EDIT: I would highly recommend playing on a harder difficulty. It gets REALLY tense, even in the early game.
The scream when the bot jumps and slashes Tom. i was rofl🤣
Yo I played this for like 3 weeks straight with my homie. He Uninstalled and I've been DYING to play again. Might just have to run solo
Edit: If you see this Tom. The theme is heavily inspired by the Terminator theme.
i spent around 5 bucks for this game last week and wasnt expecting much... but this game is way too overlooked. enjoyed the video :D
5:08 survivor: "Appreciate it"
Tomo: Shoots her in the legs
I played this a few years back before motorbikes was in. The best addition I feel is the NPCs wich was not in then. Also the radio chatter in the bunkers really builds atmosphere. And I would say that the the voices are English with a Swedish accent I would say is by design.
I adore Generation Zero. The game’s stunning, terrifying, and you never really feel safe. At my point I gave a sniper, shotgun and AR, but a few dogs is still enough to kill me if I’m reckless.
I will never forget the feeling of terror when I first saw a tank…
This game is the DEFINITION of a hidden gem.
Dude, I remember watching this game during early access. It looks so much better! Definitely should do a series
Generation zero is a top 4 solo or 4 player co op sci fi game, I love it ! 🥰
Always enjoy the drops of new games that people may or may not have heard of. Keep up the great work
I played it years back solo and I really enjoyed it. I'd love to replay this again with a friend.
Picked it up yesterday day on sale and I should have picked it up when it came out. The atmosphere, the AI is impressive and the world itself is well designed. I've learned to not run, you just die tired. Excellent video, have a sub.
They are a small team, but done impressive work on this game. Played since the early days, the UI was so much different (back when the stamina bar was sliced in parts instead of one solid bar) The updates aren't as fast as triple A games but they definitely do try to fix and add new things to the game.
You'll learn as you go. Right now you need better equipment. The larger machines can be a force to be reckoned with. You can also shoot off weakspots and weapons off. (Be very careful no to get too far north. Those Russian bots are lethal. Low on health, but will kill you fast. )
Straight fire, convinced 2 pals to play after I tried it alone and we all loved it and all laughed with it too.
I’m sorry, but this is one of the most atmospheric and detailed, true to life games there is. And the fact that the title music is so 80’s terminator. 10/10 ign. Would play again.
I also shoot guns a lot (UK). And the difference in noise when your shooting indoors and then outdoors is so different. They’ve really done well with the sound design.
Love this game love how you can disable the robots in parts as well like weapons battery’s etc. keep up the great videos ya legend
As a Swede,...that lived through the 80s.. I can ony say that, except for the robots, of course,...the devs have really gotten the feeling/asthetics right... :)
The nature, the buildings, the interiors...even the names of a lot of stuff..
