Unfinished: The Forest 07/02/2014

Armed with circuit boards and a knapsack full of booze, Brad and Dan go on a cannibalistic nature retreat.

Sometimes we look at a game before it's done. When that's the case? Well... it must be Unfinished.

That's the best kind of nature retreat.

Wait, what?

Edit: I think this game needs more penis, like Rust.

MY name IRL is Forrest. You have no idea how many times I have heard this phrase. And When I introduce myself, people say "WHAT, LIKE GUMP?" and make chocolate jokes.

I am well used to it by now. It makes for interesting introductions though.

One of the only times I have been annoyed about it is when I was playing Watch_Dogs and after I bumped into a guy he shouted "Run Forest, run!".

I ran him over with a car. A lot.

Story time over. This Unfinished should be good :)

Super happy Dan is representing me in Quick Looks by talking about games relative to other games. I don't know how anyone who follows games manages not to liken every system or mechanic in a game to something they've seen before.

The odd audio silence for a second at about 3:55 really confused me.

I think I might give this one a shot. I'm usually not into games with Minecraft like crafting systems, but this seems pretty cool.

So, were you sitting on a park bench, eating chocolates while writing this?

I'm sorry.

Been having fun with this since v0.02. There is some busted-ass shit in there, but it's clearly got a bright future ahead of it. Still could be a hunk of shit. That's every game though, so whatever.

That's the best kind of nature retreat.

Wait, what?

Man-dong is *always* appreciated!

<3 Dan. Seems like one of those guys who just has a good rapport with everyone. "Does he have a head on his head?!" Entertaining quicklook despite them spending most of their time just collecting wood and food. This game looks pretty dang creepy.

As much as I'm burnt out on these types of games, it's good to see that this game is going Early Access, but still have some degree of polish to it already.

Looks pretty interesting, if only it was actually a finished game.... Really tired of this early access stuff.

I think it was pretty intentional and definitely funny. Good to see Jason's got some fight in him. I'm really interested to hear more of him. Dan's a pretty known quantity at this point, but I got nothin on Jason.

Dan representing with the CHOICE Commando reference.

Edit: Also, when Brad said "I need more sticks," I totally was ready for Dan to start singing Mr. Roboto.

Looks like a really promising game, reminds me of horror films like Wrong Turn, where characters are being hunted across the wilderness by creepy ass people. Now that's a game I could get around.

@jonny_anonymous: Wouldn't actually mind Patrick or Brad making a daily feature of playing this game. Can't find myself to watch quick look solos, though. Just find the dynamic conversation way more entertaining than Patrick talking to himself and yelling a lot.

This looks ok, but the survival priorities sort of bother me. You can go way longer without food than you can without water. I mean, food is still important for energy to do other things like build a shelter or explore, but I would probably be scrambling to collect that precious rain water. Who knows how far you are from the next water source! I know this is just a video game, and maybe there is an option for water collecting, but it seems weird that hunger is your first priority right off the plane. I think it speaks volumes as to how easy killing those rabbits and lizards are. They're practically serving themselves seasoned to you on a platter with a side of mashed potatoes. Obviously the game wants you to be constantly concerned with getting more food if it's that easy to hunt. Again, I understand it's just a game, but I've tend looked for more realism in this genre.
