Imagine The Walking Dead started in 50 years from now. The way things are going now, picture this scenario:
>A survivor is walking down a lonesome road.
>They arive at a small resort and there’s a car covered in dust and dirt in the parking lot.
>They approach the car and check whether it still has some bio fuel left in the tank.
>Still plenty.
>They look around spotting a decayed body close by.
>They search the body and are lucky to find a ‘keyless’ key belonging to the car.
>There are no door handles and the battery inside the key corroded away.
>They break the glass and open the door from the inside.
>Finally inside, there’s still no way to start the engine without the key.
>They have an idea.
>The digital wrist watch on the body should have the same battery as the key.
>After a bit of tinkering with some tools they get the key working again.
>They press the ignition button.
>The displays light up but the engine remains quiet.
>The displays show error messages:

B42 is sadly going in the wrong direction currently. It’s addressing a lot of early and mid game stuff that allows you to basically just fuck off into the woods. But end game is still dull.
Yea true, not going to say you’re wrong but I feel like they’re making the bones of the game really solid and from there, branching out. The basements and the high rise buildings are going to be crazy imo, and the new skill tree and class reworks are going to give it a solid foundation, not to mention overhauling how weapons shoot. Them adding in NPCs is also a step in the right direction for making the game more interactive.
Let’s hope the can pad out the end game. Because like you said it’s kind of dull after a certain point. But I feel like with any sandbox game, you have to make your own goals and fun - and those experiences are always better with friends.
I do think they have the right ideas, it’s just a matter of time and implementation.
