Yeah, I literally got ambushed by SEVEN runners the other day while doing a marauder camp. Just crazy how these randoms spawn into the area. Giving me old-school RDR cougar vibes.

Beat a horde on some railroad tracks earlier by just massacring them with a machine gun. Damn fine bottleneck, that. That said, constantly having to scrape together jank for napalm 'tovs is kinda annoying, so I've been making do with attractors + regular molotovs + pipe bombs. Also unlocked a few more missions (apparently from fighting hordes?) to finish some questlines, though the resolutions aren't always that developed. Lisa goes to Lost Lake and hangs out? Maybe?

As for the sequel news, it'd be kinda cool to see another one, provided they iron out the kinks. It falls prey to "open-world fetch quest" syndrome, where 90% of the missions are kinda lame and the MC is constantly talking to himself since there's no one else around. I also got a good laugh at how MC can't swim more than three feet without drowning, especially in the last mission, where he went all the way to Wizard Island...in the water! (And don't tell me used those logs either. I won't accept it.)

Alright, I did some quests and saw O'Brian is turning into a freakish albino mutant (???) or something. He really jumped to get into that helicopter on egress, so things ain't looking too good for the NEROs. Surprised they even let him out in the field.......although seeing the type of things NERO's been studying in the field, maybe I shouldn't be.

Also killed another horde in some cave. It was a little one, so I just used a few molotovs and Chicago Chopper to cut 'em down. Should try out some of these MGs instead of snipers to see how fun they are.

Did a job for Weaver to clear a gas station and got the final trophy for marauder camp extirpation. Should try out that Rock Chuck weapon to see if it's any good. Also, the horde right by the station attacked after awhile, but I didn't get any "you beat the horde" notification for doing so. Sucks, man. =(

Welp, beat the game. Went to Wizard Island, blew it up (Boozeman fakeout death!), found Sarah, slit Skizzo's rat bastard throat, then saw the psycho colonel get Socrates'd to death via hemlock. And Weaver survived! Damn, quite a good day. Shame we didn't get to visit NERO or anything, but the final stuff was pretty brisk, so I won't complain too much.

Didn't get the trophies for the marauder camps and exterminations, though, despite (IIRC) doing all of those earlier. Kinda sucks, but I don't feel like playing through again.

Oh, you can take on a horde with hit-and-run tactics? Didn't know that. Might be more useful than just running around like a headless chicken, constantly wasting precious resources. Should try to get some more LV3 stuff (Lost Lake just hit that mark) to buy explosive throwables. Someone's gotta have molotovs.

Hoo boy, I finished the story mission at that old lumber yard. Probably circled it six or seven times, wasted all my ammo and stamina pills (which only refill half a meter? I need that perk...), and finally managed to kill the remaining ones with Li'l Stubby. One of the most hectic battles in the game so far and a pretty fun one, considering I came in half-assed with only about half the amount of molotovs I wanted. Curious how it would've gone with a machine gun and that super-powered penetration perk -- my sniper didn't work that well.

Getting kinda sick of LV3 trust being so high, you can't reach it before these "points of no current return" that gate you out of 'em. Looks like after the next story mission, I'm waving sayonara to this idyllic hellscape and going back to Boozer & Co. at Lost Lake. Deacon said the colonel would probably attack it if he knew where it was, so I'm guessing that's exactly what'll happen. (Haven't these poor bastards been through enough?) I look forward to LV3-ing some of the northern places, though.

Whew, finished the NERO checkpoint questline, plus the nest infestation one. I wish I'd get something better than some gaudy bike skin for the effort, but at least a few are giving me useful stuff, like explosive bolts and stuff. Also, killed a horde at the college football field, just so I could get Weaver's missing Zune or whatever.

Sarah and I barnstormed this college. She has some mental scars, though, I bet, and not just from the college kids who got Jonestown'd.




I HATE CROWS



This mission where I rescued that chick from a marauder-infested train tunnel had some good lighting.



Romance is in the air.

Haven't ran into too many glitches yet, other than the one time the game crashed, that time (two seconds ago) where my bike fell through a bridge, and that time I crashed into Invisible Mountain in Unloaded Texture World.



Give me back...my BB!!!



Nice shot of Wizard Island. I doubt it was that god-fearing whackjob who just imprisoned Sarah and Weaver in his ark who named it, though.



Ah, yes, Satan's favorite medium: prison tattoos. It's right there in Leviticus 17:3.



I want an AK. =(

Had some fun with it, but the campaign and its mandatory progress + get sniped with magic bullets no matter where you are to be kidnapped stuff was awful. It had a pretty good level creation/sharing system, though. If you're playing on PS4, look up one of the maze maps I made -- it's called Exit Strategy. Can't believe I still remember that name after all these years, haha.

Pretty sure Crowdbreaker is LV2 trust, too. I don't have LV3 trust anywhere yet.

Speaking of, I switched out Crowdbreaker and it's ridiculous capacity (64 shells with that ammo-boosting perk) for the Chicago Chopper, which seems like an obvious throwback to that RE4 infinity spam SMG. It's been surprisingly good so far -- high ammo capacity and cleans up pretty well for crowd control. That penetration+ perk I have might be making it punch above its weight class.

Can't stand these mutated wolves. I don't mind the amount of health they have, but they don't even flinch with a point-blank shotgun blast, so they're constantly getting in free attacks. Oh, and when they attack, they end up behind Deacon, i.e. off screen, so you're always wheeling around and getting back-attacked by their canine cohorts. Hopefully I get a flamethrower or something later on.

I initially used some cheap AR with a big clip, but have been rolling with Crowdbreaker (shotgun) since I bought it in Lost Lake. I said I'd change things over yesterday, but having multiple shotguns for swarms and other annoyances -- like that clothesline trap I just ran into -- are pretty invaluable, on this difficulty, anyway. Once I can get a military spec AR, I'll probably switch to that + Li'l Stubby + sniper. Make sure to get the sniper that has a bigger clip, though, 'cause the initial one only has five max shots or something, so that's not very useful in a shotty/shotty/sniper setup.

Sadly, I haven't gotten any clip upgrades yet, so that hasn't been a big factor yet. Currenly just exploring the southern region, burning bird nests, seeing the sights, etc.

I like how, in the snowy areas, dead bodies immediately get frosted over. Makes me feel good inside for some reason, kinda like how dumping bodies in the water in MGS3 makes me feel good. Must be the stealth angle.



Me and Kouri motoring around this deforested hellhole.




This would-be rape victim (???) stabbed this dude in the jank. Even Deacon was backing up to give her space and he'd fought a breaker, two kinds of wolves, motorcyclist gunmen, and several thousand zombies.



Kouri reminiscing about Wizard Island...or his wife...or something. Deacon pretended his wife was named Beth to cover his tracks, so I'm interested in how that'll come back to factor in.

Okay, I finally found Sarah. She was the camp egghead or something, and after all my searching, she doesn't want to come with me because of some cause. The colonel's a religious nutter (or at least that's my impression so far), but I guess he hasn't been too bad so far. I mean...when he introduced Deacon, Taylor, and that idiot girl, he did so on the gallows, so I definitely thought there would be blood. Maybe he's more level-headed than I thought.

Here are some screens from when I went to blow up that reservoir and turn the valley into Mudtown:





Eventually got up into the mountains on some goat trail...that was something I could've found myself.



Here's that horde I was talking about earlier. If my molotovs could explode more than an M80, maybe I could do some big-league damage. Should try out those berserker bolts one of these days and see if that helps.

They keep referring to this Colonel person without any particular pronouns. Gonna assume the Colonel is a chick, and if I make that assumption, maybe it's Sarah! Yeah, let's get in a happy mindset.

Damn, just crossed Thielsen Pass. I think this is the first black dude in the game and they're making him into a villain! Maybe he has Sarah's ring for a good reason, like he saved her life and that was the only repayment she could give. Yeah, that makes sense...let's go with that. (That said, an army guy wearing a weird, eye-catching edgelord skull ring is odd.)

Alright, gonna advance the story. Iron Mike's gonna take me on his super secret goat trail into the southern region and it's gonna lock me out of Lost Lake for awhile. I "promise" not to return, lol. The peeps aren't giving me any loyalty quests right now, so I might as well skidaddle. Hopefully that quest to visit Sarah's headstone in the ass end of the map won't fail and lock me out of trophies.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Hopefully it's an AR, 'cause as much as I love Crowdbreaker, I need to go back to AR/shotty/sniper for best effect. Just had one of those machine gunners across a chokepoint high up and didn't have any sniper ammo, so it was kind of a time-waster, haha.

Yeah, I don't want to look up things yet. I just found a horde in Carlos' territory, all holed up in some...I dunno, gravel pit or something. Maybe once I can craft attractor bombs, things'll be a little easier. Oh, and that perk that lets you hold more crafting components and objects. I'm gonna be Bomberman in awhile.
