I try to not look at it too often for that very reason… Generation Zero is still the best game to release this year. The fact that so many people have written it off is such a damn shame. I’m holding my fingers crossed for the day i can tell everyone they were wrong, and the games getting very close to that point.

I had this exact same experience with No Man’s Sky. I stuck with it, I was one of the few active players, but look at it now, it has more monthly active players than a lot of AAA games. This game has so much potential, and I really hope they make the most out of the 80’s setting.

I said back in may that GZ was the next NMS style success story. a year from now these issues won’t exist and we’ll be living in the golden days of generation zero just like how people are in NMS right now due to the developers not giving up

I think that’s at any one time, and considering that I can get to play about twice a week, it’s probably five times that…

Steam charts are good place to look if game has players. But they miss one statistic. Steam doesn’t tell how many unique players there are. So that 200 playing daily really dont tell whole story here. And console statistics are completely missing.

The 200 PC player statistic also struck me as odd. I just picked this game up on steam last week. Definitely enjoying it but I’m also wondering if I picked it up on the wrong platform. I like going through the game and figuring everything out solo but when I get to some level of competence I would like to engage in some co-op. Maybe I’ll have to think about purchasing on console at some point.

You wont have problem finding people in co-op. I have been playing on PC on the most odd times (like 2am on a Wednesday morning) and always find people in my timezone no matter what. Just try it out and hopefully you wont be disappointed. Remember that its a 4 person max group, so you need to find max 3 other players. I usually enjoy playing in 2 or 3 man groups though, upping my chances even more!
Don’t wait. If you do coop with higher level players they can show you the ropes and also will probably drop you some better weapons.
I think there are a lot more but like me they were using windows 7 and it crashed every 10 minutes and they got frustrated and are waiting for the monthly update to try again. I moved to windows 10 about 2 weeks ago and I play it a lot now and haven’t had any crash. I like this game a lot!

Yeah man, that free weekend was a fresh burst of life in the pc playerbase, it got so close to topping its all time record And now the average player base is sitting around 600ish people, and after this update will likely see that average get even higher!

The game is really unique, engines beautiful even on console. The shell of the game is there but it lacks the cream filling but gives you this feeling that it is there hiding or could be implemented later. I believe the devs are aware of the gameS status, it is a 40 dollar us game so I know it’s not a AAA. I took a break, I don’t want to play it atm because it’ll be a 4th delete return for me and I’m exhausted. I have no mission activity in game but my lists reward menu says I haven’t done less than half. I would love the content I deserve or it was glitched and I didn’t get the opportunity to play missions to get it. But I finished the game and I got the plat. I would like like others stated game +. Or reset. I’m tired of re lvlin up to 30. That could help this issue with us some people’s.
The other will take some time and that’s creating more unique additions in the game. Which we see have been in the works. This will take some time. Once the game gets another layer of frosting in the middle of the cake I think the devs should make a cheap simple advertised trailer on YouTube to grab the fans that died out from all the early bugs, lack luster of mechanics and assets.
It’s the 80s near 90s in the game. Bring in some crazy stuff from movies that you think the machines may create or adapted since the majority here know who’s in control…
I believe the devs will come to it. I watched first hands with the hunter cotw. But there isn’t that many hunting games on console now days that are good like avalanche did. So GZ May be in more trouble and may need a few more members outside of the projects crew to kick it up a notch faster. I wish the best to the project cause I love the 80s sci-fi, game engine and the honest caring devs that they are.
P.s. I can’t wait to visit the new additional area

hi.
well…
Even tho I love GZ and I convinced 2 people to buy it, they loved it for like 20 hours, I still love it, now clocked around 120 hours, but gonna be putting it to rest for now. We now went for Division and Destiny 2 hard to compete with those lol
Now sure the problem is mostly lack of content, GZ is a shell now… a platform lets say… but does anyone know what is it, and what is going to be? I dont know after 120 hours in it… Does devs know?
I thought its going to be a looter shooter, devs said its not a looter shooter…
Is it RPG? probably not…
We want features? Sure!
What features?
Crafting? - no, are you joking? its not Rust
Survival? - no, really getting tired of it…
PVP? - no, it ain’t COD mate
Building? - no, go play minecraft kid
NPC? - no this would break the immersion
Vehicles? - no, the map is too beautiful
Battle royale? - no, are you freakin kidding me?
none of those above! its a niche game, it’s so niche it’s only for 200 (plus me) people
Guys now seriously if they wont make money they will abandon it lol
i choose to believe reality before some teenager on youtube

I must hit some people to have them use instances of what I say. To put the frank in the beans.
But I don’t and the few others can’t speak for the masses of what they want the game to become since the game appears to be stuck in 1st gear to become a major genre of what today’s folks are mostly playing.
GZ To me is a general concept to a “Terminator” game.
People are drawn to this cause we’re looking for that excitement of frantic experience that we got growing up watching from the Terminator franchise. That is why some ask for crafting, building and other implemented concepts. They want to feel and be engage of it. The game doesn’t have it yet, that is why it is a shell. Not because there was missing content; which there wasn’t any, they made it clear day 1 what the game was.
The interests of us and others are their concern. They’re tackling a project most don’t do or have not done in a long time. That is why they ask us for ideas.
Personally the game could use soft touches of crafting, building, vehicles. Its already a soft version of survival game, and a battleroyal in essence. Your pitted against a mass production of bots with only You and 3 friends.
For example Homefront 2 and dying light are to me good examples of what this game glimmers to me as a related feeling of that intense run and gun while watching my butt and hoping my tactics work out. Pulling some concepts from these games I can see work. Soft crafting meds and throwables, attachments on weapons. Building I can see some kind of added system like rivals. Where you defeat enough rivals you are than tagged and timed before your raided by a large goup of normal bots. So you than can take refuge to a camp and put up make shift walls that can only be done during this mode for extra cover.
I also think the map could get roughed up after you beat the game for the next installed story. Advanced the bots. Advanced the players guns. Make it feel like this is the future wars of this games terminator feel. Bring in a resistance concept into the game as the second chapter to the game. I want to see or feel what the world is up to and doing to survive. Let’s see what the master of the machines have created for us.
Oddly enough there’s a company going to release a terminator game and they’ve released a trailer… so there is completion coming. Honestly I won’t be getting it until I see actual game play. I don’t like linear games even though I massively enjoyed that franchise up to the last 2 films.
Since full version I’ve spent over 300 hours in this game. Restarted 3 times due to bugs. I enjoy the game. Imo a couple tweaks are still needed in game. Besides avalanche my other favorite game engine devs are Techland. That’s all I play so my thoughts may be the byproduct to what I only play
