Revisiting The Forest AFTER Sons of The Forest 

That fucking main menu music

looking at you pfp reminds me of one of the xbox 360 pfp picture you could pick.

It was scary lol. I was too scared to play solo.

I was all for playing alone till the mfs started climbing trees 😭thought a treehouse was a easy way to counter them

Facts man... I still vividly remember my first "night" in The Forest, one of my most memorable gaming experiences to date :')

right and going through the bunker u just had no clue what to expect

I never played the forest, but my first play though I never knew what was going to happen, and the caves freak me out. The baby things are the least scariest mob I’ve ever seen tho

i agree

hehe ye it was epic.. played with 4 friends we didnt know anything about it .@@brody8440

dude in sons of the forest they still are terrifying

It's not even that they find you. in SotF they literally spawn near you. In The Forest they had fixed spawn locations, and would then patrol around set routes. So they basically went from realistic enemy patrols around the island to "eh, just spawn some mutants around the player."

Gave it untill winter, then I got bored and started killing them. I'm playing on normal though, tried solo hard and it was a nightmare trying to build anything.

yeah the atmosphere of your first playthrough in the forest was horrifying for most people lol. But it was always a great experience, wish that I could forget everything and play the forest again for the first time.

i got the gaem yesterday so im laying it for the first time@@CrusaderLarry

once in a while I come back to The Forest to see how glorious the build Ive done there with Farket's inspired building.

it's mental. I played the forest on PS4 3 years back? Me and some friends had a save we spent days building on. We had a gigantic walled base built around our smaller orignal base, a fully fortified beach, a zipline to an emergency base, treehouses, farms etc. We had all the secret buildings up including the giant glider tower too. With the church blueprint we thought it would be funny to build them in totally oposite locations, so we have a snow church built on a little lake, a water church built in the sea somehow, and plans for a mountain church. My friend also built a giant hotel deep in the forest. In the end we had exausted so many possibilites we decided to build a giant warehouse to store every log in the game. I went to load it up one day around that time and noticed the loading time was longer than usual. When it finally loaded, I am thrown into a 1fps slideshow with intense motion blur rendering it completely unplayable. I frantically reloaded - nothing, restarted the game - nothing...just like that 100 hours gone. With that, our little group gave up on the game. I remember it being capped to 4 players on PS4 but in total I think about 6 of us visited overall. Of the 5, I only speak to one of them now and regretably left on bad terms with 2. It lived in my mind as a little snapshot of such a relaxed and care-free time I'd never see again. Anyway I thought I'd boot it up again. See if I could maybe salvage some screenshots as it had randomly popped into my mind one day. I hadn't even touched my PS4 since so had to get ps+ again just to gain access. I load the game and boom...I'm in...no lag, no stutters - a perfectly playable framerate. I had a look around, explored old memories. It was this weird mix between heartwarming nostalgia and a cold eeriness as it almost felt wrong to be back, like I was intruding. It's only been 3 years. I can't imagine the strange sensation we'll have exploring decade old worlds provided we still have a way to access them. Anyway... back to reality XD

@@nathanr6381 did you upload the screenshots? I'd like to see. I didn't even know u could do all this in the forest

​@@nathanr6381cope or seethe

We NEED blueprint building back since having Kelvin. Even if they go Satisfactory-style, where you blueprint a structure you already made so that Kelvin can do most of the work finishing it for you.

@@DizzyDJWvalid.

@@DizzyDJW Yea I've never used Kelvin for finishing buildings. Because I made all of mine custom, and building storage is much faster when you do it yourself. The only thing Kelvin has been for me is a resource gatherer. Especially logs and stones.

Sotf is really bad compared to the first game.

Same. More recently I watched Green Hell and Stranded Deep since I finally played them. Nice to see Farket go back to this, probably the best builds he ever made.

yeah, brought the entire food chain that would function even years after...

​@@randomannoyanceIm sure we can suspend our disbelief just a tiny bit further, seeing how we already have giant blob monsters with tons of arms and legs and much more unrealistic things

@@randomannoyance never underestimate billionaire eccentricity

Bring in full knight, samurai armor, a helicopter, a kayak, a celeberty guest, other exotic or antique weapons or tools they keep hidden away from the general public and the people it came from and so on. So much can be done...

There were bear skulls in the forest on certain bone effigies (theres one near the main cannibal camp by the cliff), but no actual bears which is strange

That sounds insane. Can you upload your save somehow so others can take a look?

Oh i forgot.every base has a rabbit farm and the huge garden thing even though growing berries and herbs is dissapointingly useless.

Yea or make a video guide of it

Ive built over the entire map.. 3000+ hours

Your game must be called The Plains then.

literally, same here!

Im a mom and declare your mother the coolest.

@@𝕸𝖊𝖓𝖆𝖈𝖊𝕺𝖋96 she is the coolest! We love playing video games together, and I hope to play more after I graduate college lol

Is she single?

YES! I need the house boat again!

I have a feeling they'll probably reintroduce those tbh.

they prob add in a feature to repair a steel boat or one of the dingy on the beach and use the motors with gas they can add in

@@connorthomas2667 that would be good enough, but the House boat and all you could build on It was kinda epic and so useful.

Trust me you're not the only one. The new inventory is cool but after awhile it does get annoying. Wish I could zoom out at least or something. The panning around is very annoying.

Nah I agree. They tried to implement the back pack as the "quick inventory" but the back pack is trash. Couldn't even run with it which made no sense, I am not sure how it is now but it doesn't even matter since you can bind stuff to your keys now.

I don't mind the animations too much, but the panning around to find stuff is annoying as all hell.

I mean, we the players can't drink booze anymore, so someone has to.

The player moves a lot slower too. I like the new AI it feels more immersive almost like they’re plotting imo

@@whitelightest9933 To me the cannibals just feel like people. It's harder for me to try to kill them because they're like whimpering dogs. In sons I feel like the cannibals are too human, and that kind of takes the creepiness away. It would definitely be better if they were faster as creepies are rather slow too and it'd be some nice contrast, especially if it felt like you couldn't run away from the cannibals.

Don't count on it I'd say. They plan on going out of EA in like 2 months now...

The only time I actually beat the forest was with my gf , was probably mine and definitely her's best gaming experience , loved that game , broke up with me recently after 5 years had to move back in with parents temporarily , finding it really hard to enjoy SOTF because it just reminds me of the great times we had playing the game , booting up the forest now and stumbling onto the same spot we built our first and only base felt really sad.

If they bring back Athlethicism I will celebrate

I hope they bring it this year
