What do you guys think of "The Long Dark"
How plausible is a scenario like that?
Would you like to operate in a scenario like this?
Pretty cool. Operating at night is badass. More night=more badass

Thanks for the insight
Nice dubs too

Do they actually ever tell you why your plane crashes in that game? Because if they never do, then yes, it's totally plausible. And there's no zombies shitting everything up.
Is this game story driven, or is like every other "survival" game where you just gather resources until you die boredom?

Some magnetic wave that fucks up all electronics
>>30980614
It has both as far as i know

Polar reversal? Solar flare?
>>30980663
I think they were intentionally vague about it if i remember correctly it just says a "geomagnetic event".

Sandbox mode is pretty much the latter.
There are scenarios with specific goals that you can play. ie - gather enough food to survive a 30 day blizzard, make it to a point on the map while being stalked by a bear, etc etc.
I think it is a fun game and pretty well done. My only real complaint is that the last update I played had turned it into a dog attack simulator. I could barely walk a mile without one or more wolves jumping me, which left me nearly dead with my clothes torn to shreds. Then a blizzard would roll in and I would freeze to death before I could get back to shelter.
For the OP I think the scenario is completely implausible but I am not autistic and don't need video games to match real life. Were it to somehow happen IRL I would probably die from disease like most people did before modern medicine.

Plausible? Definitely no. Fun? Tons! It'll be best to play when story mode comes out with a full release, the sandbox is nice but a little repetitive. Some of my favorite moments were stalking the old dam with a rifle in hand, lookin for a wolf. I eventually got him, it was tense.

It's a pile of shit and this is a shill thread.

Probably interference from the northern lights
It's very nice looking and pretty /k/ related (it's basically Innawoods: The Game), but boring as shit.
There's nothing to do beyond gathering food and sitting around for sunrise so you can gather more food.

Survival the game

That kindof implies polar reversal.
Basically what happens when the poles reverse is that both poles disappear and then many poles jut out in all directions, slowly gathering towards the current north and south until there are only 2 poles.
To make matters worse, during that period, we'd be bombarded with solar radiation that would normally be deflected by the magnetosphere.

I don't really know the premise of that game but a (temporary) time of low temperature is very much possible, through nuclear or volcanic winter. These can, theoretically, occur at any magnitude. Historically, volcanic winters lasted one to three years. Yellowstone is projected to influence the climate for up to a decade, while the theoretical nuclear winter of a full NATO-WP exchange was simulated to last several decades.
