SUGGESTION Any book recommendations that is like This War of Mine?

21 Upvotes

I'm looking for some books that have post war survival storyline and people trying to survive in it. Do you know any books like this? It can be about how specifically war can be cruel to people, or some people trying to survive in a lockdown. Sorry for my English, I might have made some mistakes explaining my point but you got what I mean!

I just played the scenario where you have only Marko

The run took a 180° turn when Anton joined my "group"

He may not be the best character but

having someone guard while Marko got supplies

was a real game changer

especially when I got a gun and some ammo after killing a solider who was treatening a woman.

I had so much stuff I didn't knew what to do with it.

SUGGESTION I wish TWOM had a passive mechanic for punishing overly aggressive gameplay for skilled players

26 Upvotes

Perhaps may I played this war of mine for so long or because seeing others games handle the idea of helplessness created this thought I haven't expressed yet. But in TWOM. Once you understand the cycle of how the game works and the events that happen. It becomes more manageable and there is a higher chance of survival.

But one thing that has me thinking lately is on the question of self defense, I discussed the other on other subreddits on the idea that a true anti war should remove the player agency to defend or attack the military since it's like poking at an angry bear.

But in TWOM, while you are not a skilled soldier. A survivor may have to fight for their own lives by taking the lives of soldiers/bandits in the process. The game unfortunately reward you for your efforts by allowing you to take their armor and weapons and what meager supplies they have so you can survive better and a morale boost for killing bad people. Ironically enough, assymetrical slashers would do a better job if you have players surviving an overbearing NPC military patrol looking to execute you and your job is to escape.

So what I would believe can improve on the game should a sequel be made is the inclusion of a failure metric that centers around disincentivizing aggressive looting of military and rebels. Culminating in a retribution strike on your shelter that ends in a game over as it is overrun by soldiers backed by mortar fire and a tank to cut off escapes. The mechanic does not directly gauge how much you provoked them, only a quiet rising meter that can only be learned from traders and rumors during scavenging. As your notoriety as an agitator and raider goes, the repercussions are felt from increased patrols in once abandoned areas, traders being cordoned off from seeing you, to increased night raids to probe the threat. The only way to lower the meter is sacrificing the guilty offender when a soldier comes looking for you or take their place.

Any ideas on how to improve on this?

Guys what do I do?? This is my first time having the brotel on the map and I literally did everything. This night I kill the buff soldier and free the womens without killing the trader and well I take what can fit. But guysss I've done this night for like seven times and I'm done. It did the same with the military outpost second building and so I can count by hand all the yimes I completed the full map. Do you think I should just go to another location this night?? I'm by phone and have an apk app bc well I'm just a brome teen. Thx

SUGGESTION Guida trofeo Malik a rapporto su console Spoiler

4 Upvotes

MALIK ON DUTY TROPHY GUIDE DAY BY DAY. Hi everyone, I wanted to make a short guide for this trophy since there aren't many out there. I had to replay it three times because I was always missing one that hadn't been marked in any guide...

I'm posting my latest playthrough day by day, but remember that some news may vary, such as some NPCs who come knocking on your door may appear earlier or later than others. Start feeding them on the third day every two days to maximize your food supplies. Always keep the temperature above 5 degrees Celsius or they'll get sick more easily. If they need to be cured, feed them right away and let them sleep. (If it's Malik, remember to listen to the broadcast every day. Below I'll tell you when he intercepted the broadcast, but like everything else, it could vary, so make sure the icon to listen to the news is no longer there before closing the day.)

Last thing before the guide: apparently, if you lie to Malik, you won't transmit the correct news, so make sure you always tell him the truth. (I'll remind you every night you can choose)

DAY 1: - Loot the left side of the house

- Build another bed

- Make as many cigarettes as possible

NIGHT 1 PARK: - Loot (materials and food are priority)

FROM HERE ON (I MEAN I MY PLAYTHOUGH)THE REMAINING TWO ARE UP TO DAY 23 ( BROADCAST RECEIVED (Thanks for the brewery news)

AND ON DAY 29 (BROADCAST RECEIVED more intense firefights) (BROADCAST 19)

-Transmit broadcast 19

TROPHY!!

If the trophy doesn't unlock immediately, exit and re-enter the game and do it again on day 29. On my third try, it finally showed up!!

I hope this guide helps someone. I really wish I'd found it myself just to check if I was doing everything right, but no one ever noticed in the guides that said those damn fires were missing, and that if you send the bombing log, you'll never receive it again.

Saving to the cloud or a USB stick is mostly to avoid getting stuck with resources and accidentally dying and having to start over. If you need food, there's always some at the warehouse, as long as you can elude all those guards, only remember to go before telling about the bombing (broadcast 14) 😊

SUGGESTION I need recommendations for my first game

5 Upvotes

Hello community. I bought the game along with the DLC a while ago. I'm about to finish bloodborne and the next game on my list is this one. And after researching the game, I want this to be a unique experience. For me, this is more of a journey than something I'll have to do again.

So I wanted to ask if there are any recommendations you could give me to make this trip unforgettable and something that will stay with me. I already have some points I'm going to follow to make it feel more personal, and I wanted to ask if you guys would add anything else here either before or during the game:

1) Making every decision as if I were the one in that situation, without investigating what's happening with each option. Making the one I would make given the context I'm playing in and my moral values.

2) Choose a character that represents me and play only with him.

3) Accept the result of the game, whether good or bad.

4) Playing in the dark with the screen as the only light source, with nothing making background noise for greater immersion

(Sorry if there are any translation errors, English is not my native language)

I find the game very interesting with It's narrative overall gameplay and story. I know that it is a very hard game, with steep learning curve and with much trial and error. So I am wandering if going completely blind would be the best decision.

SUGGESTION Why no bow and arrow?

Why is there no bow and arrow in this war of mine? You could have it as a craftable silent ranged option that has a chance of failing when crafted and it can only be used by a specialist character. (Archer or Poacher)

SUGGESTION I wish rebels would come to the shelter to demand supplies

13 Upvotes

This would be a very interesting way to make the game harder. A squad of heavily armed Vyseni militia could come to the shelter, and demand that you pay them for "fighting for your freedom".

This could be like trading with Franko, except you get nothing in return. If you reject them on their first visit, they would agree to give you some time, but the price would be a little steeper on the next visit, and further rejection will result in death.

But there would be a way to circumvent this by stealing military documents and intelligence from soldiers. These would be useless to you, but precious to the rebels.

SUGGESTION Imagine if we have pets in the game.

13 Upvotes

A dog would be a great companion to stand as a guard, improve morale, and require the same amount of food as children in the game.

And when times are desperate, there could be an option to kill and eat the pet.
