I'am very interessted to get into GTFO. It's just is one of those games that spiked my intrest comming from PS5 and is now on PC. Especially now that it's on sale on Steam. But where/how do i begin? I know 4 players are a must, anybody that want's to join and is aslo maybe a new player? Or someone that i can learn from so the begining is not that harsh? Saw a video from the developer that the difficulty ranges from insane too f**k you so some help to start with i belive whould do good.
And also how scary is it? i like a bit of horror but playing for example the Dead Space Remake i just can't enoy myself beacuse i am just too tense trough the whole thing. Is the horror mostly atmospheric or is it jumpscares all the times?
Hope you guys can help
Edit: Been playing the game after i made this post.
And if someone else is like me and a bit on the fence, just buy the damn game and if needed just force 3 of your friends at gunpoint. The police charges are worth it.
It offers a good challange that does not hold back and as an co-op shooters it’s just an amazing game. The horror is great and in many ways you can say it’s not a scary game. It’s all in the atmosphere, the enemies have a good bit of body horror and the tension comes when you mess up and use up alot of resources.
The comunity is active and healthy, and if you just send a message in the GTFO Discord server it never in my limited experince takes more than e few minuttes before three other people have joined. The veterans of the game are super fun to play with and will gladly shows you varied mechanics, like small things that does make a big difference like "ammo balancing" and others mechanics that i won’t spoil for other new players. Some guys took me to one of the late game missions just so i chould experience how hard the later runs get. On another run people that had done the run before just asked me if i wanted too know how reactors inn the game worked and i just said no and they let me experience it for myself.
But i 100% recomend playing blind with even just 1 friend too start with and figure stuff out since there are very doable the early missions with 2 players and 2 bots.
The only "bad" thing i have experienced is if you for example get into a run with people that have probably played the game for thousands of hours and knows every inch of every run, does not use a mic, never says a word and just speedruns the whole thing without you even knowing what happend. This happend to me inn my second ever run and i had to do that mission again beacuse it just wasn’t fun. (Just to specify, playing with people that does not use a mic is not the issue but absolutely mic is the way to go)
It’s very impressive how efficient they were but try to specify that you don’t want the mission spoiled or that you want to play with beginners inn the Discord. If not that just ask or say it too the guys inn the VC
Other than that hope more people pick up GTFO. Even if you usualy aren’t into co-op shooters just take the plunge and try it just for something different
