Yeah I think its 40 days! Yeah the black and white actions do limit it a bit which is something people need to remind themselves about, that in real life there may be other options!

Yes indeed as to my mind morality is 'always' a choice.

Awesome that people have given this a shot. It also reinforces my view that preppers are (and should be!) normal people with normal lives and interests, not just sitting in their bunker and praying for the world to end! I bought This War of Mine on Steam, and to be honest I feel it falls down a lot as a game. The lack of resources (understandable in the scenario described) translates into gameplay that is a grind, as you're searching for X more components to craft with. Which may be realistic, but doesn't always translate into a fun game. I also got sick of people constantly smoking the cigarettes I wanted to trade with!!  Has anyone played 7 Days to Die? It's a Minecraft/Walking Dead type hybrid. I've been hiring a server on and off (currently on) for the last year. Awesome fun to build a walled compound with your friends, grow crops, hunt, and raid nearby towns/cities for valuables.  |

Hey there ygidorp! I think the point of the game is to try and get that feeling of a daily grind during wartime and is meant to be a more realistic experience (within its limited capacity)! Yeah I like to keep the cigarettes for trade as well and I also like the fact that once resources are used up there are no more! I play a lot of minecraft (got into as I wanted to find a game I can play with my daughter! I have paid for a minecraft realm but have not tried 7 Days to Die!

I agree it does capture some grind, but it's questionable whether it makes engaging long term gameplay. 7 Days to Die can be bought on Steam here for USD25. It does have some grind elements as well, but when you're playing with people it's so much more enjoyable. I've racked up a fairly silly number of hours lately with friends playing it. Working as a team really helps start things off, although late game now 2-3 of us are able to maintain/grow things. PM me if you ever want to try playing it on a server with us. |
