I love the almost comedic contrast of somebody who’s covering a game’s updates and also hates it simultaneously lol.
Very glad to hear how much you’re enjoying game development!
@@MrMelonsz I like farket but I enjoy sotf he just seems like a grumpy old man now, I get it he thinks sons sucks but he’s not god and he can’t bring down a game that has a decent returning player base to a game he says “has no replay ability” I also understand that we look to him for game updates but I’ve since switched to people who are happy to do their job :) and cover content (yes I know he’s in game development but if he’s so pissy to stop and cover some updates for a game then just don’t do it. The attitude is shit :(
I miss happy farket
@@killer_panda4993 He's got a few points though. I mean, for one, the game just isn't for him, but the audience pretty much keeps screaming for more about it. No game is going to be for 'everyone', and as we see, the more they try to make it for everyone, it loses the original audience.
As for replayability, I kinda have to agree with Farket, I've run through it once all the way, and the other two times friends have convinced me to join them, we get about half way through and get bored, because we know whats coming next.(Same problem existed in The Forest too, for me.)
@ Lmaoo, I see what you mean. Hopefully as he gets more into game design we see the great return of happy Farket!! :D
I think I know why bows feel weird: you spend the game using most all of your tools right-handed, but bows are left-handed.
Isn't that how bows are used when right handed? Never seen a right handed person hold a bow the opposite side because the dominant arm is drawing the boosting
@@dekay1428 Right handed person use their right hand to draw, not hold the bow itself. Probably because the lighter is always held in left hand in this game
It was like that in the first game as well I think, it's a very strange decision and multiple forum posts were made asking it to be fixed or provide a right handed solution but nothing ever came from it, bows feel super awkward with the left handed setup =\
surely by design bows are ambidextrous lmfao
this such a perfect comment illustrating how Endnight have no consistency
"I'm done with Sons of The Forest"
....
"Update 20 Sons of The Forest"
Bro needed the money
Done PLAYING sons of the Forest, he’s still the largest creator that does updates for the game he knows people come to his channel to see
@@ContinuedOak which is why it was so silly to put out a video saying he will never cover sons of the forest again
@@lukey666lukey He said he wasnt going to make another "episode". Which would be a continuation of his previous "seasons", or a new one. This is about the update, not a new episode.
Most of his videos have been about (Sons of) The Forrest, so why wouldnt he make a video explaining the update, like he has for every other one?
I mean making content for a game while your mother just passed away makes a person make mistakes.
Its been 3 months I missed your voice its so nice to hear it again keep it up
"its for comical reasons" The main characters of The Forest games tend to wear the bones of their enemies as armour. Put that dress on and you're literally larping as Buffalo Bill. Thats why I play these games!
Didnt Farket say in a video "I wont ever cover SOTF again"
No.
@@evensmedal2611 he did in this video :
ruclips.net/video/8QJjgCaeaZQ/видео.htmlsi=0rSinZ_7aUQhJKAr
Also said that the approach they took for sotf was different from the forest enough to lose interest
@@evensmedal2611 he absolutely did
Ive been watching for 6 years because of his forest content
he did i think like twice but the youtube checks come in and opinions change
Omg have I been missing your voice! But for real tho it’s great to have you back :)
I agree, the textures being duplicated breaks the immersion.
Looks so lazy
Good luck on your game development journey! Don’t stress.
I never thought I'd get back to this but they finally did it! House boat is not broken like the the forest thou.. it takes literally forever to get anywhere xD Climbing rope is really good cause the water collectors are shorter, you can still jump up but its tricky. The advantage in the forest was that all of the entrances were easily accessible by the water so you could raft close to where you needed to go and have a base close by and mobile as soon as you get out. If you made a house boat day one in the forest you were basically set until you beat the game and unleashed the flying enemy. Mooring seems kinda pointless but it looks cool. really sick that you can carry a NV and a glider.. they need to let you add an additional platform onto the side so you can park a golf cart on the side xD
I actually really liked the placing walls one log at a time. it made it immersive, i especially loved sharpening the logs afterwards.
well, you can still play that way which is great. This just gives players more choice, which is seldom a bad thing
@@kIDNEYKid-xt9uc
would the legend of zelda be a better game if link had the choice to not save the princess?
@@Gravitatis Braindead comparison tbh
@
do you think it would be?
@@Chris77Rocks77
what if the rest of the game was exactly the same, except the only difference was that at the end of the game you had the choice to abandon the princess and let her die
would the game be better?
Im on my second playthrough of the game, this time with another person. We absolutely love this game, I really dont understand why you dislike it so much.
@sille4829 the game is amazing but after you beat it a couple times and spend more than 100 hours in game, it gets extremely dry. Nothing is rng and 3/4 of the map is worthless. I got bored of killing enemies and upgrading, and building was o ly fin for the first 30 hours or so before it became tedious. Overall the game has hours of wasted potential given how it started
I wouldn't even have known that an update had come to sotf if Farket hadn't made the video. Because sotf is so underwhelming compared to 1. I loved part 1, but this update underlines that the developers never understood what made their own game so good in the first part. The whole early access phase, like this update, served to desperately bring back things that players liked in part 1, like the armsy mutant, building options, etc.
Everything is so insignificant, the island is so huge that the cannibals, who don't even really fit into the environment in a meaningful way, can simply be ignored. no threats, everything is so big that you just run past them, why bother with them or waste time. The boats also make zero sense. You can really feel how the developers have their own vision for part 2, which was actually really good in its beginnings, only to then ignore everything in panic mode and dump fan service into the game. First they publicly emphasized that it was important to them to make something better, not just copy from the first. One thing which I really welcome. It would have been enough to simply make the island of sotf max. twice as large as part 1, the density of the environment would have brought back the threat of having to share the place with tribes, interesting places would not have been annoying to reach because they are closer to each other. but to do that they would have had to understand what made part 1 so good.
oh what the heck, now that they're obviously not trying anything else, there's a hope that part 3 will be more like part 1, which is actually welcome. Let's just hope that this chaos of the trial with a number of unanswered questions and inconsistencies about religions, parallel universes and the like will finally be clarified sensibly and actually concluded. Here they have exaggerated massively. Please give us a Forest 3 again with a small island, fewer military weapons and more primitive tools, maybe a drone for flying and scouting, let's play old Eric looking for Timmy again and clarify the story sensibly while the game has a density of interesting places with good atmosphere delivers.
Its shocking what gaming became in modern days, compared to the 2008 - 2014 era...
Loved The Forest, but SOTF can never live up to it for me, I thought SOTF was gonna blow The Forest out of the water when it comes to survival horror, atmosphere, mystery, & tension, but it turned out worse in those aspects.
If they make a 3rd Forest game, I'm not gonna play it.
Is it coming to ps5???
Between this, KSP2 and Mount and Blade: Bannerlord I'm absolutely done getting hyped for sequels, especially if they take a fucking decade to come out
@irishlad1367 i wouldn’t get your hopes up for it, i haven’t seen anything that says it will
Farket video after 3 months!
This is gold
Thanks!
lmfao
Add a generator upgrade, custom boats, use for the kayaks (only boat able to travel upstream with the motor of course), athleticism and have the speed boost affect paddle speed; these will all make that update seem more worthwhile.
Glad to see you making videos again. Hope your feeling better.
You know I felt the exact same way about sons of the forest until recently. I didn’t even replay the game after the 1.0 update and when I seen the new update the other day I said fuck it let me start a new game and I’m quite surprised. The game feels a lot better than it did when I last played it and now I’m really enjoying it actually. At one time Farket was cooperating with the developers frequently and something makes me think that that relationship turns sour but as far as the game goes, it seems quite packed. I’m finding tons of tons of things that I did not see in the game before there’s a lot more cannibal camps and other things around the map it’s starting to feel more complete
its diffrent from the first game but ive always liked it for what it is
@ I think I’m starting to like it better then the first game
So the sons of the forest reached 1.0 nearly a year ago, and they didn't have any boats in the game, while in the original forest, they had buildable boats in version 0.02 back when the forest first launched in the summer of 2014. .🤷♂
ok
Boats are useless on the SOTF map. Most people wouldn't care if they were never added
@tacktical1951 A buildible boat would have been handy when you go to the life raft that has a glock in it, and is also surrounded by several sharks.
Great video. Just wanted to say that I personally love the way building is done in this game compared to the first one, not everyone hates it.
I agree, I also love the building-system in sotf
Finally, the SotF update content I was waiting for: the news delivered in a deep Aussie accent.
Honestly I'm fkn loving the cynical review, now that you're learning it, sounds like you're even more knowledgeable, I love this honesty ❤
Haven't watched you since the release of the game. Before that I've watched you for years, and now when I clicked on that video I felt the nostalgia running through me with that intro... iconic!
I love your honesty and to be frank, most of your gripes are mine too. I’d play The Forest multiple times, but Iost my passion with SOTF.
Miss your videos.
me too, still playing the forest (80+ hours) and still enjoy it, sons of the forest less than 10 hours and i completely uninstall the game for a while now
I don't think this game can be saved, never gonna buy another game from endnight that very clear of course
@@GiulioTopLad huh, I see myself going well past 1,000 hours in SOTF never having played The Forest. I absolutely love this game. Gives me stealth options, while making it downright fun to try and troll the cannibals. Except for those damn glowy raids :(
I wasn't going to watch this at first until I saw it myself, but after seeing the thumbnail and realizing it's literally the same 3 as before, I said screw it. I was really hoping they'd also add some uses for them. I hope they still do. Maybe some smaller islands and fishing at least. The bug fixes are nice though. Hopefully they get the bow dialed in and move that stupid laser from the top of the crossbow...
Oh, I'm also glad to hear you're enjoying your own game developing! I can't wait to see how it turns out!
Welcome back Farket! I'm excited to see your game's progress!
I learned that you use the arrow tip as a site.
For example:
If you are aiming at a cannibal's head, make sure the arrow head is obscuring your view of the cannibal's head.
FARKET IS THE GOAT! this update brought me back to ur vids, glad to be back watching
My son and I were hoping you uploaded this! Thank you! Going to watch now, I'm sure its epic.
You haven't made a video on this in ages! Glad you are covering it
On our houseboat a Knight V in the Knight V holder disappeared on one of the reloads. The Shelf on top disappeared, and put all the stuff on the roof. Then when we moved it all disappeared.
Thank you for putting out this video despite having such feelings about this game and it's direction it took in comparison from the first game. I always watched your update videos, and learning that you were basically quitting the game it made me feel as if I wouldn't have that same update formula and direction your videos on it had. While I am glad you made this video, I would have for your sake, preferred if you hadn't if You honestly don't find enjoyment or fun in doing so. I know as a content creator who more or less was one of the big Forest channels, it's hard to branch away and retain your audience. I know in terms of revenue and income you probably don't have much of a choice, assuming you are doing RUclips as a means of stable income, but I would hope you have luck in retaining what you had here but elsewhere.
Missed you Farket!!! 😁😁
Great to hear from you again man, hope you've been well!
Good on you Fark et, wish you all the best with future development.
Glad to hear you are making progress with game development. I would definitly play any game designed by you. Hope to hear more about it soon. Cheers!
Still love this game. Hope the updates keep coming
Hope it comes to ps5
I want this for PlayStation.
I only played the forrest for the first time last year. Bro your channel helped me out so much Thank you
Sounds like theyre essentially porting old code/assets from the Forest, as a developer myself this level of work after 9 months, even if a month or two was taken off for the whole team, is super sad, it's almost like a "take the money and run" scheme and there is little to no work getting done. A solo or duo dev team could get this done in a fraction of the time
peak laziness tbh
@unlegitdev I'd disagree
We have a full game, a full meal
This is just a little extra treat
@Crazydarkside That full game is empty as hell though in comparison to what they accomplished with The Forest
Btw, I loved your build videos for both games. Great voice. Sad you did not want to return, but I get it. You do you for sure. I understand what you mean about replays. The limits (like not building in caves) kinda annoyed me. Don’t tell me how to play! But I also loved when you would work around the dumb ones. Anyway, glad you are doing well.
I have to agree with everything Farket is saying. This update is underwhelming for how long it’s been since the last update. It really feels like the developers lost their motivation. The game has so much potential. The map is huge and there are so many creative items and structures that could be added to the game. On top of fixing or improving off fighting/ building mechanics. The beta had me hooked, the updates kept the game fresh with them always adding to it. I don’t see why there can’t be a continuation of the story after so many days survived or something to keep people playing for the long term.
The game is great as is, if you are doing a single play through but after that it leaves you desiring more. With the lack of updates what else is there to do? I have already built so many bases and cool structures. Breaking the game in some cases to create awesome things but after awhile of doing that what else is there?
I fully agree, I hope the developers continues... I was also hooked during beta, every 2-4 weeks it kinda felt like a christmas gift with each update, you didnt know what they would add and it was exciting. I've built so much during my 600h of gameplay but something is missing in the game
Can't wait to hear more about your experience of building your game and learning more about the game in progress! Missed hearing those ASMR dulcet tones of yours😂
Really don't see why they didn't just let us use the rafts/boats that are found around the map and attach the boat motor to the back, or at least make newer versions of the rafts that's kinda crazy it took this long to get the same old rafts that should've been in the game since day one. And that DIY helicopter mod deserves to be put in this game it fits so well
I’m still playing the forest as I only got it this month on holiday sale but I have to say I’m glad your still making videos! Can’t wait to start the sons of the forest one day and you’ll be there to hold my hand 😂😂
I thought you were done covering the game? Well, its nice to see someone cover the updates as well as you do anyhow.
I'm glad to hear that you're expanding your capabilities. I think you'd be really good at game design.
I bought the forest to play with my gf last December and I'm having a lot of fun with it. And finding your videos even if they are 6 years old was great, they are so fun to watch and most of if is still very relevant for the game. I wish you had more videos I can watch because I really liked your channel and the way you do your videos. But I heard you wanted to make your game in one of the videos. What kind of game is it? Is a survival game too? I would love to see the progress of it. And i think would probably be great because of all what you did and said about the forest and green hell. You really understand how things should be made. I'm really looking for it.
one hokey pokey covers two lenghts of buildings.
i build a room four by four and eight hokey pokeys two on each siedem swingarm towards walls, make shure the spikes are an feet off the walls.
what ever trys1 to crush the walls, maybe fire traps the corners, for the meat tornado on legs and,,, i you biuld high there is not so much wall to defend.
hyped to hear you been grinding out ur game gl ❤️
Bruh. I’m glad to hear that smooth succulent voice again
1. steam game recording is awsome. at least for content recording or casual clip recording since it records up to 120 minuets at a time in native resolution
2. its a bittersweet feeling watching games like payday 3 and sotf continue to get worse. one one hand I feel bad because of course I want them to be the best they can be, but I also feel vindicated in my "if it launches bad I will never play anything from that company again" stance since they are showing a failure to improve
Glad you're doing okay! looking forward to seeing progress update on your game, sounds really fun and like you're taking it seriously which is great.
I literally checked your channel an hour ago to see if you had done any new videos. 45 minutes later, new video. LOL
It’s always such a treat when you post a video!!! Good to hear you brother!
Miss the video man glad to see new one here and there.
Farket, finally.. good to hear from you. YT is boring without you around. I cant wait to hear about your game dev. Cheers!
Finally, the raft structure😅. Hope they add carnivorous/venomous animal instead of sharks only. I mean, more variation would make things fun
One of my all time favorite games ever is The Forest.
I couldn't wait! For sons of the forest to come out!
I've legit forgot that sons of the forest was even a game until I was scrolling and seen this video pop up.
Smh.
I was so disappointed in the sons of the forest!! The biggest let down of my life. It just never captured The original Forest vibe, in my opinion.
HE RETURNS, i'm so hype
I want to put here that when I first played with the rafts, I found that while on the raft I believe my sensitivity went up. my camera was moving way faster while on the raft then when I was off of it. I can only assume since I have my sensitivity lower than default that the game sets it to default when on the rafts, or not, I honestly don't know. Has anyone else found that it to be the case that your sensitivity changed when on the rafts?
the laser sight on crossbow is normal, the crosbow only has a top picross that is there to attach a sight on it, not a bottom attachment for something like a laser. The laser IS attachable to it, but it also ISN'T made to be, it's just a bit of fun realistic detail for gun nuts, not "a detail that got past release".
Both the holders are nice. Would have been awesome back when I was doing it. The walls are nice. I wonder if the outfit ill work on Virginia? Probably.
Man I totally get you with the replay ability, I’ve played over 500 hours of the forest but I have 38 on the sons of the forest….. it’s really a shame and that’s after finishing it once and then joining friends for some time, it’s really sad how they went about releasing this game “in development” as it literally only worked for the forest because it was a new idea and they actually finished that idea before it even got popular
I love the island design on SOTF, it's gorgeous. But yeah, no rivers makes the rafts fairly useless.
I mean, I guess you could raft around the island to get to the other side to avoid enemies, but that takes so long. I prefer to build launch platforms all over.
I'm replaying for the first time, but this time using console cheats. It's been pretty fun. I have like 6 Kelvins helping maintain my base. I spawned 10 Virginias, but only 2 ever seem to stay around your base when they become high enough sentiment to equip items. The others are stuck around random points of the map.
I was hoping to build my own little defensive militia, lol..
I've also found it fun to pit cannibals and mutants/demons against each other. Like how many cannibals does it take to bring down the demon boss? About 20-25 haha. Or can my base defend against a horde of 200 cannibals??
havent played this game since launch with my friend and it is so much better, we had a ton of fun and the game is better now. I won't say that its good just because there is still a lot wrong with it but compared to the other slop games you could be playing, sons of the forest is a good choice
i hope you do decide to continue these. i have hope for this games potential despite the shortcomings and i rely on your videos to decide when to force all of my friends back onto the game for another playthrough
Been watching you for a long time can't wait to see what you develop and release yourself!!
Coolest update besides the golf cart
Don't think I'm going back to the game though unfortunately 😢
I played the first forest for years. This one for months.
That defensive wall update was a slap in the face to the 2,000 log wall i put up on pre release lmao
Nice to see you in my feed! Sending my best you and yours!
Hey, you sound well Farket! Happy new year and thanks for the vid drop. I think I want to make a game and you're an inspiration
I didn't expect a new video of this game from you after last time.
Hey, I've just been looking longingly at your last upload yesterday! Nice good ol' update vid, and glad to hear you're enjoying gamedev!
Man I've been waiting for a new video from you my friend! Thanks for the content
I had to re read the uploader of this video title because I was so surprised. Great video. Looking forward to your game. I’m 100% going to buy it. I owe you after all these years of entertainment.
Farket can you please make a video sharing your experience so far learning to work on games?
I know you are not that interested in the Forest/SotF anymore but maybe a playtrough of the OG the forest would be fun to do.
Nice to have you back farket!
He lives....was beginning to think the cannablies ate you.. make videos on what ur learning/ trying to do. THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT CONTENT!
welcome back bro! Hope you enjoy this update
Welcome back farket
Off topic but glad to hear you switched from unity to UE5, Welcome to the future my friend! It’s painful, After making a game for the last three years I will admit that. But it’s well worth it! I wish you nothing but the best on your project!
I feel kind of enh with SOTF. I liked The Forest for it's simplicity, while SOTF feels too complex for me. It does give more freedom to builds, but....anh, idk. Also, I stayed away from spoilers, until I realized the game is either never coming to consoles or still years away from it, and watched someone beat the game....I don't know if I'll ever do it. Maybe, who knows? I can beat The Forest really quick and have fun, but idk about this game. I've been playing The Forest more on PC lately, but I started playing it on console, and it really helped me learn the game on basic controls, and I feel I need that for SOTF. But who knows if it's ever coming to consoles. I hope to be able to fully enjoy it when it comes to consoles (if it does), and then enjoy it on PC, but we'll see. As of now, I'd say I feel let down, but I still play The Forest and have a blast with it, and especially multiplayer.
Happy Aussie Day mate 🇦🇺
Missed you, waiting for new upload so much
Its so funny seeing Farket sick of the game not being how he likes it so he just starts to make his own lol
Based sir 🌞 always glad to see ya!
Shame this game didn’t live up to the first, but still happy to see a new vid from you. Best wishes on game development!
You were a legend in your guides with the Forest. I watched you in the lead up to Sons and like you there was great anticipation. But also like you I was less than impressed with the sequel. They should have focused on the build mechanic and just improved on the original rather than all this other nonsense that just took away from what made the original so amazing. I have also long lost interest and I hear they are looking at a sequel. After this, I won't be bothering. Really sad as there was so much potential. Very curious to see what you create mate! Something tells me given all your experience and your journey to learn programming a game that you will create something quite awesome!
as soon as i saw the new update I knew you'd be back
Im not good at building houses and stuff what I Was hoping they do in the future is add a bunch more blue prints that has different style houses and other stuff.
The legend is back
appreciate you for still making the video, even tho you dislike the game. always loved your vids
I can’t wait to see what game you develop!! I’m sure it will be awesome!
They need to add all the content from the first game into this one.
Hey fark, check out the "detection" mechanism in far cry 3-4-5 like games,
NPC ai can detect when player is clearly visible & can't when hiding behind stuff, I think you'd find interesting😮
I'm glad to see they're finally getting the game towards the state we were all expecting it to release in. In case anyone has forgotten, there was nothing about it being early access until about 2 weeks before release; it was assumed to have been done (especially after what, 8 years?). And as far as the laser sight, blocking the crossbow, IIRC flashlights mounted on the shotgun did the same thing on release. It's amazing to see how amateurish the development team is compared to the first game
Love you bro 😎
Fantastic video thanks 🙏🏻
I saw someone complaining about there being no rafts a few days before this update. I bet they feel like the messiah manifesting this update, the devs were silent for like a year.
Daddy farket!!! Bro please just do a play through of OG forest I need you back in my life 😂
