    Hey, dude. I really like the idea of a RUclips channel that checks up on the progress developers have made on their games. Obviously with early access games and the practice of games as service, this type of content is needed, and I've only really seen that here.

    i think there is a reason why you cannot bring extra fuel and there are also 2 cans on top. Buzzard and his repo team comes after you die to collect your car and any supplies and would need extra fuel to return back to their base. the supply bags would take up the front, back and trunk space due to how fricking big the bags are and the colony really needs them in the lore.

  • @appelpie7663
    @appelpie7663 2 года назад +1

    Great video. You summarized essentially every point of concern and appraisal I have for the game. Being able to upgrade your character in addition to being jacked from mutations increases the pace of endgame gameplay compared to the start, where supplies are more scarce, enemies are more threatening, and picking your fights matters more. I can also relate to suffering from randomized environments, such as hellfires inside HERC labs preventing me from accessing antivirals.

  • @mikkelnpetersen

    I like that you have a way to "upgrade" and make the next run easier with gear and buy upgrades, i've tried roguelite games where it's more like a "full reset, now try to get further", I don't like them, I like it when there's SOME way to upgrade your "profile" for the next run.

    "Less precise more generic elements"? I'm sorry man, but that police car obviously crashed against the house. 😜 LOL
    I'm playing this game for the 'first time' (technically I started it before, but I bought it for PS4 and it was unplayable, so I waited for a patch). Now that it's playable I can say it's a great game; it's definitely remarkable how much they have achieved since the first game. Now I only wish they keep up with the patches (specially on consoles) and keep adding stuff.
    Great video, btw.

  • @martinmarinov1334
    @martinmarinov1334 2 года назад

    I would say this review is just about right! I bought the game and now have 40 hours, just completed the main mission and have almost all upgrades.
    To anyone who is considering to buy this game, I strongly advise you to do so. I am a big zombie/survival fan and I really enjoyed this one.
    Also indeed it does seem the developers care, since the patches have been spot and really improved the experience.

  • @Stabbyhead

  • @Ranemoraken
    @Ranemoraken 2 года назад

    I've been wanting a series that specializes in this type of review - where you compare an initial release to the current state. This is especially true for games that get a deservedly bad rep on release, and then improve with patches (for instance, I remember looking for videos on Ghost Recon Breakpoint, trying to figure out if after a year if it was worth playing. I never did find anything.)
    I'd like to see a section of your video that details the changes specifically, but I can see how that would be tricky, since it would require either a lot of research, or you actively playing games day one and then revisiting them for your content.

    • @StandardGaming
      @StandardGaming  2 года назад

      I'm so glad you like the concept! It's definitely got some complications, but I currently have my eye on about 7 different games-in-progress and old footage for 4 of them.
      Also ideas for non status-reports that I reaally hope the algorithm doesn't kill when they come out.
      Aftermath hasn't visually changed TOO drastically, which is part of why I made the intro more about the similarities maintained in the evolution from flash game days-
      but the inventory/encumbrance stuff is taken from footage from around launch!

  • @NooB-Celica

    You should keep up the Status report on games. I haven't really seen anything like this on RUclips before and honestly it would be nice to get updates on games I may have forgotten about playing when they were early access or whatever.

    I bought the game on day 1. The game states it’s optimized for Xbox Series X. It certainly is not. Background textures don’t move smoothly and the horizontal image is stretched. I was shocked the game released in that state. The dev states the console versions were outsourced to a third party and it shows. I didn’t panic though because the dev was getting the game back in-house to work on himself, but had issues getting dev kits. Now he disappeared. I feel swindled. I hope he’s secluded somewhere fixing the game. But the lack of communication worries me.

Damn man.. will another game happen if it takes elements from all three games of Last Stand 1 and 2 and Union City? So now Last Stand Deadzone and Aftermath are both mysterious games to me.. been a huge fan of it for a long time..

    My main complaints/personal opinion is the fact that you’re infected, can’t create your own character, randomly generated maps, and anytime you kill a zombie on that location more zombies pop up out of nowhere. I wish this game was enjoyable, could have been better than How To Surive/Dysmantle buuuut, same same, but different.

    • @StandardGaming
      @StandardGaming  2 года назад +1

      I feel that- by the end of my time playing I found that I could get to the end zone with only 2 or 3 chunks infected, but in any long-form game that gives you an end timer it can get frustrating to deal with-
      it would sort of ruin the concept of the plot, but I wonder how it would be if you didn't start out sick but it was much easier to get infected

    Is the frame rate really as bad as this video makes it seem? I can deal with sub-par graphics, but not stuttering or low frame rates... Is it just choppy/stuttering animations maybe? Either way it's no Bueno.
    If I wanted low frame rates I'd buy a console.

    • @StandardGaming
      @StandardGaming  2 года назад

      There were some performance issues that I don't think I can blame on my PC/recording software- though substantially fewer as they've rolled out patches. This is definitely "flawed but ambitious labor of love" territory.
      I'm definitely keeping an eye on the dev's next move as far as optimization on PC- as well as on Console, which hasn't gotten the newer updates yet.
