I get the dirty bandages along with the good one in the bus scrap everything I've got from looking around scrap the food in the morning so I can make a stew I do the quest to get the 45 and then I try to get good bandages
Just got this game and I thought it was just a bit to much for me (I'm and old gamer from the the Atari and intellavision days lol) but your video gave me new hope Thanks
Counterintuitive things to know: You don't want to eat food, but rather throw in the garbage can so that you can then make better food (out of the garbage, which is more nutritious, naturally). If a zombie is trying to eat you, just put your hand on its head (don't worry that that's close to its mouth and you wouldn't logically expect that to help in any way at all), and it suddenly turns into a Three Stooges bit, rendering it helpless. Frying pans are the ultimate melee weapon, and pillows are made of kevlar. 😆
Yeah, there's some oddities to be sure. I think the food mechanism is explained by the food that scavenge is all old/rotten/spoiled. You'll notice you get stamina from it, but it reduces your health.
You definitely CAN remove all ammo from a fully loaded gun, just hold the A button (or whatever action button opens the chamber) and keep holding so it doesn't close back with movement and while holding, turn the gun upside down and jerk down and all ammo will fall out . Just try to do it over a table. This is how you can manage ammo recovery easier by removing bullets from your gun, then salvage your gun, once you craft a new one, you get the full chamber of ammo so then you have the new ammo plus the ammo from the gun you dumped before salvaging. If you have plenty Nuts and bolts, it's easy to just repeat this step to gain free ammo . Rinse and repeat. Obviously the gun frame is always infinite plus a portion of metal from each salvage so all you need to have a good amount of is nuts and bolts because the salvage of a gun doesn't give those back. This works brilliantly for early game when you haven't opened up the .30 revolver round upgrade at the weapons table.
Yeah I just dumped out my revolver on the PSVR :( it appears the bullets are gone for good. I keep doing it! I hate these archaic controllers. I can't wait for psvr2 to come out. I don't know if I should keep playing or wait until 3/31/2023 they will have chapter 1 AND 2. ... Bah just talked myself out of it. Hopefully it will prevent me from the ridiculous desire to repurchase the game for psvr2
Just got an Quest 2 and bought this game. Thank you for the excellent starter guide. I wasn’t quite sure this game would be for me after the first half hour but your tips have really helped. Looking forward to checking out your other content.
What a great video. So many of these videos are just showcases for how good the maker is at the game without ever teaching anything. This video is made by an intelligent person trying to show newbies like me the basics. Most of us need a little help at the beginning to be able to learn the complicated stuff in most games that require more than one brain cell. That's what you do and you do it well. Thank you sir.
Great no spoiler tips and tricks. I appreciate your thoroughness. I played on PSVR but now I’m going through on the OQ2 seeing what the differences are. Thanks!
I have been playing the game for about 9 hours on my PSVR2 & I really wish I had seen ths video fisrt as it would defineltly had enhanced my enjoyement of the game as I have jsut been learning as I go along but also missing out on a lot of things. Many thanks for making the tutorial.
Thanks. I'm late to the party. Would be good to clarify the link between the recycle bin, the big chest just next to it and the crafting benches outside. I think its the case that you drop anything with junk status (or others if you wish) in to the recycle bin. That provides 'parts'. Those parts aren't actually the items you see in the big chest but their numbers are shown above the big chest. You can then go outside to the crafting benches and the numbers of materials you see above the big chest indoors are avail for crafting. TBH would have been simpler (game design, not your guide), if anything to do with crafting was together i.e. have the bin, the counters of parts and the benches in one location. Just a thought :) Good guide though. Most time I've ever spent in VR was yesterday on this thanks to your guide.
I don't know if you talked about it but you can use pots and pans to attack zombies. It uses no stamina and can be a one shot if you hit them correctly so its a good tip for early on. Its also very fun
The pans also deflect bullets. One time an NPC fired at me, hit the pan and the bullet ricocheted back at the NPC and hit him. Pillows also absorb bullets.
I have watched a lot of your videos. You just commented and put a link to this video on a post I did on Facebook.. I have learned a lot from your videos. I haven't watched this one all the way through because of its length but I'm doing that now
My game of 2020. Even with the limitations of PSVR and the damn move controllers the game almost single handedly justified purchasing the PSVR (day one) all those years ago. Along with Resident Evil Biohazard which is PSVR compatible with the exception of one part of DLC (still unsure as to why), TWD S&S is simply a must. Not perfect but way better than the dozens of so called VR games or experiences that have turned out to be nothing more than expensive proof of concept demos. Very informative, thanks for posting.
Bought mine purely for the walking dead. Ain't got money to burn, don't get me wrong. But seeing some of the sh#t you can get up to, seemed worth it. An I wasn't wrong!
Very informative video; much appreciate you making it. But my OCD mandates I tell you it's pronounced N-U-T-R-I-A stew, not "nutra". Nutrias are basically rats damn near the size of beavers that are common in the southern US.
I’ve made my items in Order so I can remember where I put my stuff and salvage the weak items and make new items and save all the ingredients for new weapons or food supplies and firearms etc
Love all your helpful vids! I can't seem to grab their heads consistently. Sometimes I grab, they dodge, and bite me. Actually, it's like 75% of the time. How do you grab properly? haha. Thanks man!
I haven't had that issue. Perhaps you're trying to grab them too late, they kind of lunge at you when they get close. Try to grab them and pull them in to stab.
@@substatica Appreciate it. Yeah, I have not tried grabbing and pulling them in. No triggers need to be pulled on the controller, right? You just reach up? I don't see the fingers making trigger movements when you do it. Thx!
@@DopamineOverload You have to pull the grip trigger (not the index trigger) to grab, as you would grab any object. On Quest at least, not sure about other platforms.
@@substatica thx (Quest 2). Still cant get it happening 100% of the time. But I built Negan’s bat. That saved my ass a handful of times. Love that thing.
@@substatica Thanks! Didn't work. But what did work (finally).... pulling both triggers, and A (for empty right hand), or X (for empty left hand). It worked 100% of the time... three walkers were after me... whichever was closest, I grabbed and shoved into the other two. Worked every single time. Definitely not a single-trigger move... can anyone else verify this? Again, when I had all 3 buttons...... it ALWAYS worked... I grabbed and shoved them randomly like 40 times in a row. No damage, and stamina stayed pretty high. I was walking backwards, back to my skif (and I was bare-handed, both hands). Felt like a god, haha, and definitely made the panic non-existent.
Yeah that whole random people coming into your bus while your passed out on whiskey and them dropping off beignets and jambalaya doesn’t sit well with me even if it is food I’m very familiar with ! Edit : man it feels weird to comment on a video that’s almost a year old 😂
@@substatica gawd lee 100 ?!? Man I can only play like 7-8 days per real life day since my battery life only allows me to play like 2 days per full charge, I couldn’t imagine playing til 100 😂
I watched the Tips and Tricks one, and it was like: how to choose the right things to bring with you from the near-infinite arsenal you have after beating the game. Now this one is a little too basic... I figured out most of this stuff by now. I'm on like day 7, but still have virtually nothing and have only unlocked one upgrade... I can't make food, and it says I need "protein"...WTF is that? I mean I know what it is IRL.. What do I have to do, scrap food? Zombie parts? (Edit: Google tells me yes, scrap food, ideally canned food. For some reason it didn't occur to me toss food in my garbage can when I'm starving. Seems a bit counter-intuitive.) The explanation of the map was helpful; I had no idea what the colored squares were supposed to mean. Guess I just need to spend more time looting all the explorable houses I can find instead of just doing story missions? Oh, grabbing zombies by the head...great tip. Never would have thought, "Maybe I should grab their head and they won't be able to hurt me for some reason."
Sugar and protein are sometimes difficult to find. Kitchens and pantries are good for those (soda on the streets too). Basically anything edible or drinkable will give you sugar and/or protein. It's tricky because making stew takes these resources as well as levelling up the station.
@@substatica Thanks! I'm getting the hang of it now. There's plenty of food so far, I just didn't realize I should scrap it. Instead I ate it, poisoned myself, then wasted medicine to fix it. Also wasted some medicine because I didn't understand what it was for. And wasted all my ammo because I didn't realize unless they were the diseased ones, I am in virtually no danger if I just grab and shank, or better yet bash in head with frying pan and use no resources at all. So I restarted, and it's going much better now!
No, you can only go out once per day in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2, Retribution, you'll be able to go to one location during the day, and another during the evening.
@@substatica thanks for the video man. Just got my oculus so I been bouncing around games exploring the vr world. Played first day couple days ago. Immersion is crazy, cant wait to continue my journey
16:42 tbh I am really good at the game. Like srsly (I love you katana) but i just HATE going to houses for some reason Even tho they sometimes wont be really dark. and when i kill alot of zombies and more come and my heart it almost Gone. i cant handle mysylf anymore
Take a deep breath and think of ways out instead of the zombies from the dark. A good tactic is to use is using two handed weapons to push back crowds without the cost of stamina if you don't swing for the head. I wasted all my time on the first day, and ended up getting from the blue mansion to the skiff pushing back about 14 zombies.
on my first trip to the blue mansion i did the quest for the ring. the second day it was filled with people who was hostile is killing faction people bad? cause i really needed that mic and these assholes got in my way
Every time I go to reach over my right shoulder to grab my larger weapon I end up grabbing my backpack!!! I can even see the white circle where the weapon is supposed to be! It’s so frustrating 🤬 I can store the weapon over the right shoulder but as soon as I go to grab it I grab my back pack! Plz any help fixing this???
Try different spots in relation to your body. Try touching your right shoulder edge with the controller. Then try your right shoulder blade. Then try right beside your ear. Use your body as a reference to check different grab spots to see which works.
You can hit them all you like, but it won't do anything. You need a weapon. There are many you can pick up. A frying pan for instance will never break, always good to keep one in your pack.
There are a few tips and tricks videos on my channel too that answer questions like this and are a little more advanced than the Getting Started video.
There are small differences, better graphics, some maps are larger, and some extra non-essential items are available on PCVR. Overall they are very close.
I'm not sure about this video, but there is a Beignet recipe that improves stamina regen. It doesn't make you run faster, or give you more stamina, just regenerates faster. I rarely sprint, I find backing away/pushing Walkers and fighting is usually better.
@substatica hey I set up 2 save slots. After I played the 2nd save slot I wasn't able to get back to the 1st player slot. How do you alternate between the multiple save slots. Thanks for the video!
Saves are organized into Profiles. When you select Load a Save instead of Continue it should ask you what Profile to load a save from. Within each profile there are about 15 slots. Each time you save all of the slots in that profile shift and any in excess of the latest 15 are discarded.
@@substatica just want to make sure I understand. I created a new profile today and after I was done playing I wasn't able to get back to my original 1st player that I created from the start. Is there something particular I'm supposed to do in order to go back and forth. Thanks for your help!
When you select "Continue" from the first menu it's going to load the latest save, whichever profile was used last. To switch to a different profile when you start the game select "Load a Save" then it should show you a list of Profiles. Select the Profile you want, and then the save, generally the latest.
Because Oculus/Meta PCVR games were originally for the Rift and the store which offered those games was the Rift Store. It needs to be differentiated from the Steam version because if you were to purchase the Steam version you would not get any crossbuy.
Crossbuy is a feature that Oculus/Meta offers developers. If enabled for a game, those who purchase the Quest version get the Rift version for free, and vice versa. Purchasing the Steam version doesn't offer this perk.
Weapon gnomes. Ffs. I've got lighter and tobacco gnomes. The bastards gnomes from South park, lmao. Noticed you only have 2 sections in your storage chest on the bus. Got 3 with the PS vr
