Что лучше the forest или the long dark
26 сен. 2014 в 7:06 Which one would you buy? The Long Dark vs The Forest
I would like to play a survival game and i looked some up.
There are 2 games that look very interesting.
The Long Dark and The Forest. I have watched some gameplay of both and i still can’t decide which i like more. The crafting mechanics and the gameplay look very nice in The Forest but i really liek the art style and the winter theme of The Long Dark. Also im not too much into horror games but i really like the survival aspekts of both games.
My question now is, if someone of you have played both games and which you would recomment.
I just want to buy 1 game. Maybe i ll buy the second one late but atm i just want to spend money on 1 game.
Thanks for every help.
26 сен. 2014 в 7:18 hard decision indeed.
honestly i must admit i’d go for «the long dark» rather than «the forest». both are quite neat, do not get me wrong here. but i kind of like the realism of the long dark combined with very nice and simplistic graphics.
the forest has some very nice crafting system, the building mechanics feel well, but then again i am not into horror-games either. i neither like zombies nor mutants. well, in the long dark you get killed by wolfes (if not by your own failures), so in that way wolfes replace the zombies. not having played much both of them i must admit the long dark is my favorite, although i’d like to have a way to finetune/rebalance some aspects of the game.
26 сен. 2014 в 7:19 I have booth. Havent touched «the forest» in ages tho. 26 сен. 2014 в 7:21
The Forest has more to do right now as far as content goes, but it is very buggy. Takes a pretty decent rig to run it as it’s resource intensive. I would say that this is more about the crafting (and horror, with cannibals) than survival, although it has survival elements in it.
TLD is definitely the way to go for a more survival themed game as it’s survival mechanics are pretty in depth. Less crafting than Forest, and there is a lot of content missing from TLD, but it’s been out for less than a week. Buggy and needs to be optimized, but pretty decent for being 5 days in EA.
Note: There is an option to turn off the cannibals in The Forest and play it simply as a survival/crafting sim.
i can’t tell you which you’ll enjoy more, for me in the long run I feel TLD has more potential for a more enjoyable «survival experience». I will say the DEV team for the Long Dark is second to none from what I’ve seen, commited and always working on suggestions from the crowd. Forests dev’s are pretty non-existent and recent patches have definitely hurt the playability of Forest, imo.
The Forest:
— Construction of buildings and fence walls, which takes ages of log transport.
— Very few crafting recipies. Only 3, atm, I think.
— Mutants, cannibals, dismemberment. Staples of horror genre.
— Four animals (rabbit, lizard, bird, fish)
— Peaceful mode option.
— Temperature, hunger, thirst, not functional yet other than aesthetics.
The Long Dark:
— No construction. Snow shelters maybe later, but nothing else.
— Lot more crafting already, and more planned.
— Only natural creatures for enemies.
— Two animals (deer, wolves)
— Permadeath.
— Temperature, hunger, thirst all functional, though balance may be an issue.
They both still need a lot of work, but I think TLD is just a little bit further along to ‘Game’ status.

I agree. I have read their forums and checked out some AMA with them and they seem to be a respectable, intelligent and ofc commited bunch of folks. Heck, i bought a «love» voucher 5 times beause i found eskil to be such a likeable guy.
This is one of the upsides in EA. If you educate yourself and not just blindly buy ( and then come here and tell people they suck and its not what YOU expected ) i go with gut feeling.

I have both, I believe that both games have potential. At the moment I would chose The Long Dark, for being out for such a short time its doing great, the Devs seem to really care about the feedback.
In regards to the forest, it has so much potential; I just wish they weren’t taking 2 steps back for every step forward. I have high hopes for The Forest, I think it needs to age a little more.
I would go with The long Dark for now, I would also like to recommend another two games to look at, Miasamata and the other one is 7 Days to Die.

I have both comrads. Both are very fun and can be tough.
The Forest:
Personally Id actually say that The Forest really isn’t a horror game, or really a survival horror game. When you fight the cannibals your not really afraid, you can fight, run, or scare them off. And it feels like a BATTLE. Now the caves can be quite scary, and thats when elements of a horror game really show. And the devs are adding more everyday! If you’d like to read The Forests updates, i feel like you’d be quite impressed. The crafting is much better and more diverse than some other games, and allows more freedom, to an extent. Harvesting resorces is very realalistic (hope i spelt that right), when trees fall, they fall. There is a whole lot more to explore, craft, hunt, and generally do than in The Long Dark. But where The Forest and The Long Dark really differ is the survival element. In the forest, its all about surviving the cannibals, not nature. Food is plentiful and shelter can be made within 5 mins, if there were no cannibals, it would be a very boring game. But in The Long Dark, its all really about surviving the elements, hunger, shelter, fatigue.
The Long Dark:
A good thing about this game is the sense of almost a constant state of panic. Or never feeling comforatable with where your at. Your either hungry, thirsty, tired, or freezing, ALL THE TIME. And once you start getting into the late game, resorces are very, VERY scarece. When you run out of an essential, all of your time will be dedicated to finding the resorce, and once you have it, you will be out of another resorce. Unlike in The Forest, there is next to no crafting. There is however a harvest and repair system to improve the condition of your exsisting items, but you will never create your own. And also unlike The Forest, you dont find your own wood (lol), you click on a button and your character looks for wood during a black screen, and depending on where you are, you’ll find different types of wood. A good thing when first starting, but gets annoying later on due to the fact its based on random chance, and you also feel like you are fast forwarding the game. But The Long Dark really is more of a survival game than The Forest. In a real life situation you wouldnt be building forts and giant spike mouse traps, like in The Forest. You would be looking for food water and shelter, all while braving the elements.
So all in all id say its about what you’re looking for, if you want a game about surviving your enemies and strengthening you defenses, go for The Forest. But if you want a game about surviving against nature and collecting resorces, the go for The Long Dark. Hope this helps. ^_^

у тут уже что тебе больше нравится. Если тебе нравится из врагов какие-нибудь монстры или людоеды, то The Forest, если волки The Long Dark. Если нравится больше строить и исследовать мир, то The Forest. Если суровое выживание в холодной Северной Канаде, то The Long Dark. Если нравится мастерить всякие классные штучки, The Forest, «апгрейдить» готовое, чинить, искать, то The Long Dark.
Что-то одно посоветовать не могу, это слилком сложно. У меня есть и та и та.
Однозначно The Forest,можно даже не объяснять почему.
омг, почему же? обе игры хорошие, я играл в одну и в другую, долго, но больше склоняюсь к the long dark она более красивей
Denision Мастер (1573) По красоте спорить не могу, но наиграв несколько скучных часов в The Long Dark пожалел потраченных денег. В The Forest всегда есть простор занятий и цели, которые можно ставить. Спавнясь же в рандомном месте замёрзшего леса не совсем ясна задача.
игры по своему хороши. но лично я бы предпочёл the long darg так как мир более большой и возможностей больше.
Че лучше купить в стиме The Forest или The Long Dark

Что лучше the forest или the long dark
The Long Dark
If you enjoy fighting the elements and playing a more thought provoking game with a really good atmosphere and sounds then play TLD.
If you enjoy more Arcady base building with more action then play the forest. Also has multiplayer.
It really falls on what you prefer, but honestly for me (I own both) I’d recommend TLD especially for the cost.
Haven’t played the forest for about 1 year, but theese 2 games are completely different.
TLD is about finding food, staying warm by the fire, and defending yourself against wild animals. More real-life type survival. And trust me that is plenty hard.
The Forest is about building bases, hiding from mutant cannibals, killing mutants, finding your son, and exploring caves. And it has co-op multiplayer.
29 янв. 2018 в 2:24 These are my options since I want something crafting related and survival. Both seem so similar and reviews are positive. Wanted to ask you guys who played both.
Good Luck with your selection and travels. and may the RNG god go with you.
I actually bought the long dark, played first chapter was good, playing 2nd chapter meh.
too much running, too much overly dramatic «mysteries», only thing matter is that a good save point. and after purchasing I learned that game has more chapters to come meaning it’s not fully ended game yet. Kinda dissapointed. I would definitely play again but when all the chapters come and story ended.

You need to play the sandbox. That is where the game truly shines. 29 янв. 2018 в 2:56
So don’t think there is nothing to do until the release of the rest of story mode, which will not cost you an extra dime btw.
Fire up your game and join the happy thong.
29 янв. 2018 в 4:18 I gave up on playing The Forest after 3 hours total. This game is way way better and well calculated. They thought about everything. 29 янв. 2018 в 5:54 I gave up on playing The Forest after 3 hours total. This game is way way better and well calculated. They thought about everything.
I was playing the forest with a friend and still got bored. It just felt like every five seconds a cannibal appeared and attacked or more like five cannibals. (And people moan about wolves) So couldn’t build anything much, always respawnd at the plane instead of one of the many buildings/beds like any other survival game.
Needed about 10,000 trees cut down to build anything, it should have been called ‘the de-forestation’
Oh and I had to eat and drink like every 2 minutes.
Hey look I made an overexaggerated post about a game I haven’t played much and probably don’t understand, that was fun!
In all seriousness though it had some good points but I just didn’t get into it like TLD.
The long dark или the forest что лучше
В этой статье кратко пройдемся по одной из самых занимательных игр, актуальных до сих пор! Приятного прочтения!
Поскольку в The Long Dark я прошел только доступные на 2021 год главы, то слово, по большей части, будет предоставлено человеку, потратившему в The Long Dark более 500 часов.
Немного о разработке:
The Long Dark — компьютерная игра в жанре симулятора выживания с видом от первого лица с элементами открытого мира, разработанная. Hinterland Studio The Long Dark является их дебютным проектом. Эта компания особо не примечательна (у них нет даже странички на Википедии). Разве что тем, что часть средств от выручки они отправляют на защиту дикой природы. Похлопаем им в комментариях.
Хотелось бы так же сказать, что у игры преданное комьюнити, и я думаю, что пока игра не выйдет полностью(сюжет), еë не забудут, так как она вполне реиграбельная.
А игра действительно реализовывается очень долго. Альфа-версия игры вышла 22 сентября 2014 в рамках раннего доступа в Steam. Разработчики получили финансирование на разработку игры за счёт кампании на Kickstarter в октябре 2013 года. Релиз состоялся 1 августа 2017 года. Но до сих пор доступны не все главы.
Суть игры (в общих чертах):
Игра в жанре выживания в достаточно открытом мире. Сюжет прост как пробка, но достаточно логичен, хорошо прописан, а иногда даже и драматичен. Для тех людей кто играет в эту игру с наслаждением — самое то. Выживание стало идейным основоположником всех механик игры. Именно с этой задачей игроку приходилось столкнуться после запуска на момент релиза Беты игры. Достаточно быстро, люди поняли, что в игре нет конца. Точнее есть, но он или в пасти волка, или в холодном лесу или подо льдом.
Как же я был рад каждому выходу обновления. Лично я играю в игру с 2015 года, и знаю еë очень хорошо. Как олда, сюжет меня заинтересовал, но был один НЮАНС. Сюжет не полный, далеко… Поэтому я решил не трогать его, до полного выхода, чтобы уже матерым профи пройти сюжет на максимальной сложности не поведя даже и пальцем. Люблю я все проходить на максимальной сложности да без урона;) (Кто понял тот понял)
Так вот, все обновления в режим выживания я встречал с восторгом. Новые карты, испытания, ачивки и так далее и далее… Что получили мы на выходе? Отличная сурвайвл игра с упором на атмосферу, повествование, изучение мира. Она может затянуть на очень долгое время, особенно кастомное выживание, а если на ПК, так еще и МОДАМИ. Survival open world с модами, прекрасно звучит… Если игра кому то зайдет, то скорее всего уже не отпустит, пока игрок не изучить каждую локацию, не сможет стать охотником профессионалом, охотящимся на медведей, с собственным бункером запасов. А поверьте, пока вы все локации обойдете, потом все в одну точку стащите, пройдет около 200 игровых дней чистового времени, что равно 400 часов. 1 день в игре — 2 реальных часа.
Геймплей (подробно):
Ограничение ответственности
Сразу стоит оговорить один момент. Создатели игры предупреждают, что все происходящее в игре не стоит воспринимать, как инструкцию к выживанию. А поскольку сейчас будет много информации про выживание в The Long Dark, предупреждаю, что все написанное в статье не является инструкцией по выживанию в дикой природе. Спасибо за внимание!
Выживание без сюжета
Появления персонажа очень важно в понимании ситуации, это предопределит ваши дальнейшие действия. На всех уровнях сложности кроме «Незваного гостя»(на этом уровне сложности рандом), вы можете выбрать локацию для спавна на своё усмотрение.
Локации делятся на сложные, средние и простые.
Естественно они распложены так либо из за погоды, животных и кол-ва ресурсов. Самых лучших и худших локации нет, все они по своему крутые, рекомендую к посещению все до единой.
В зависимости от сложности локации, надо выбрать 3 пути:
После того, как простая локация залутана, и база с персонажем готовы, то надо идти в среднюю локацию, которую лучше знаете, перебраться там, и сделать тоже самое что и в простой, дальше опционально.
Сделать так со сложной, или стащить ресурсы в на главную базу, где вы сможете раскачаться до максимума, и уже спокойно идти хоть на гору.
Не забывайте про бункеры, они есть в Отрадной Долине и Загадочном Озере, там много всего, но поискать придется долго.
Строить базу нужно желательно рядом с рыбацкими домиками, запасом металлолома и кузнечным горном(ЗГ идеально подходит). Где есть плита на 2 конфорки минимум, ну и место дропа дров.
В игре на сложности «Незваный гость» бесконечно выживать не получится, а вот в кастомной вполне, на прибрежной линии спаунится дроп каждый день. Даже тот, который может закончится на всем острове(металл и ткани).
Ходят слухи, что можно бесконечно выживать на сложности «Незваный гость», при условии, что вы не получаете урон и не используете металлические предметы.
Кстати советую как можно скорее перейти на звериные одежды, так как ткань в игре ресурс ограниченный, а без него ваша одежда — тряпки.
Для ремонта требуются шкуры зверей
Для ремонта требуются шкуры зверей

Для ремонта требуется ткань
Экономьте инструменты, они тоже конечные, и они не допоются на береговой линии. Можете собрать рукой — делайте это. Единственное, сначала вкачайте навыки собирательства мяса на максимум, перед тем как руками его собирать. Ветки тем более, большие рубите только при экстра необходимости. На ночь не ешьте. Хотя последний совет относится и к реальной жизни:)
Цели в игре нет, можете считать, что проживаете жизнь одиночке на собственном диком острове.
Интересный момент. Меня, автора канала, отсутствие цели и отпугнуло. Но эксперта это наоборот привлекло. Про мое субъективное мнение про сюжет игры можете почитать в комментариях под статьей.
The Long Dark — игра не без приключений: бури, стаи волков, неожиданно вывернувший медведь из за угла, голод, дикой холод — все это ждет вас здесь! И при этом красиво рисованные просторы острова. Игра для настоящих ценителей эстетического наслаждения.

PS: Лично я играл прямо в Новогоднюю ночь. Я смог пройти сюжетку за буквально 3 вечера. И как же классно это было. Новый год кончился, все уже легли спать, за окном метель, а ты играешь в The Long Dark — красота. И каково же было мое разочарование, когда я прошел все имеющиеся главы, а развязки не было. Я стал гуглить и узнал, что конец сюжетки выйдет ой как не скоро. Тогда я расстроился и пошел играть в Майнкрафт)

I have both comrads. Both are very fun and can be tough.
The Forest:
Personally Id actually say that The Forest really isn’t a horror game, or really a survival horror game. When you fight the cannibals your not really afraid, you can fight, run, or scare them off. And it feels like a BATTLE. Now the caves can be quite scary, and thats when elements of a horror game really show. And the devs are adding more everyday! If you’d like to read The Forests updates, i feel like you’d be quite impressed. The crafting is much better and more diverse than some other games, and allows more freedom, to an extent. Harvesting resorces is very realalistic (hope i spelt that right), when trees fall, they fall. There is a whole lot more to explore, craft, hunt, and generally do than in The Long Dark. But where The Forest and The Long Dark really differ is the survival element. In the forest, its all about surviving the cannibals, not nature. Food is plentiful and shelter can be made within 5 mins, if there were no cannibals, it would be a very boring game. But in The Long Dark, its all really about surviving the elements, hunger, shelter, fatigue.
The Long Dark:
A good thing about this game is the sense of almost a constant state of panic. Or never feeling comforatable with where your at. Your either hungry, thirsty, tired, or freezing, ALL THE TIME. And once you start getting into the late game, resorces are very, VERY scarece. When you run out of an essential, all of your time will be dedicated to finding the resorce, and once you have it, you will be out of another resorce. Unlike in The Forest, there is next to no crafting. There is however a harvest and repair system to improve the condition of your exsisting items, but you will never create your own. And also unlike The Forest, you dont find your own wood (lol), you click on a button and your character looks for wood during a black screen, and depending on where you are, you’ll find different types of wood. A good thing when first starting, but gets annoying later on due to the fact its based on random chance, and you also feel like you are fast forwarding the game. But The Long Dark really is more of a survival game than The Forest. In a real life situation you wouldnt be building forts and giant spike mouse traps, like in The Forest. You would be looking for food water and shelter, all while braving the elements.
So all in all id say its about what you’re looking for, if you want a game about surviving your enemies and strengthening you defenses, go for The Forest. But if you want a game about surviving against nature and collecting resorces, the go for The Long Dark. Hope this helps. ^_^
