Imagine waiting for patches for VTMB or FO2 for ages when these were only released.

I am still waiting for that zerosum developer to post the source code to prelude to darkness after he gets back home from his weekend vacation after like 10+ years.

Hopw is better. Have some!

Am I the only one who finished this game?

 

[Daedalos]

I bought this game at release - stupid maybe - but I really wanna try it out. Hopefully the june 19th patch will make it playable.

Fingers crossed!

I essentially finished it, minus the last 30 minutes or so of the game because of that water purification plant bug. Absolutely insane that's the list of changes for this supposed upcoming patch. It's fucking nothing. After this long. Boggles the mind man.

Weren't you leaving forever or something?

Another proof that UE is a TERRIBLE engine. Another brilliant game DESTROYED by Epic's incompetence.

Some people doesn't seem to understand that the above post is a joke aimed at people who writes the exact same thing every time Unity is used poorly. It's not the engine that's the problem it's the coders or whatever who are bad at utilising it.

The users listed below rated the post by Pretty in a way that I interpret they didn't get the jab:

Additional (free!) content on its way!
14 JUN @ 6:19AM - KOTAN

Hello everyone! V1.5 is soon to be deployed and we felt that now is a perfect time for another fun announcement. After all of the support and patience that our community has shown during the past months, our team wants to give something back to express our appreciation to you guys.

After the v1.5 release, we will introduce a content update that will include:

• 3 new special encounters on the global map: survive through yet another deadly Pyramid Mercenaries ambush, restore order in a distant camp infested by savage cannibals, and get ready to be punished by the righteous if you choose to take advantage of the weak;
  
  
• 3 mini-bosses to challenge: try to outwit money thirsty leader of the Pyramid Mercenaries, confront the mind rotten Butcher the Cannibal and fight the owner of rusty Tank Armor who just might remind you of someone you’ve met before;
  
  
• 1 secret location to find. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? More likely a room filled with peculiar corpses to loot and… shoot… if you want to, of course;
  
  
• 5+ unique items to use: new armor, vest, shotgun, gasmask, axe, and other equipment.

The content update will be available for everyone who owns the game, free of charge. More details regarding the planned update will become available as soon as they are finalized.

See you next week, insomniacs!

I don't need new shit. I need to you to fix the old shit that didn't work.

 

[Wunderbar]

Original dev team was fired, and a new programmer is fiddling with their codebase, trying to figure things out through experimenting and adding new stuff.

 

[commie]

Just wait patiently for Nordic to buy them out and release an Enhanced Edition.

 

[Jenkem]

It's gonna be great. Every bug will be fixed. The new content will be amazing. It will be truly be the Russian Incline we all know it can be.
