Oh like, 'is that a torchlight you've got in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me' type of thing?

Lots of video game characters have the hanging torch on a gillet that keeps their hands free

Bend made the Vita Uncharted, so they’d be familiar with Drake’s torch that hangs from his chest, but I don’t recall Golden Abyss having an issue where, “if you rotate the camera while deacon is station[ary] with the light on, the light still rotates...”

Yeah the light source not showing could be an issue for some as it would surely have been easy to have one hanging on him at all times, but being able to rotate the camera and move the light to me is more beneficial than having it super realistic and having to point him at the direct angle I want to look in. It can be a farce when trying to do that in some games. I’m happy to have increased realism in most ways, but at the same time I’m very happy to have such small discrepancies to improve it as a game as that’s exactly what it is, a game.

Having just completed a few adventures within a cave filled with newts and screamers being able to move the light in such a way made it enjoyable and potentially more petrifying as slowly moving the camera looking for items or the eyes of the undead instead of swinging the character around with less control was a lot more satisfying and tense.

It’s like anything, including last nights GoT, if you decide you’re not a fan of something it’s easy to dispense with any suspension of disbelief and pick apart things you’d usually look straight past at the offer picture. I’m prepared to look past some things if it improves my enjoyment. And man I’m enjoying this game, even the bits like fuel management I thought I’d hate I’ve got a good grip on. Slowly trying to look around a fuel station before going up to the pump just in case marauders are awaiting those in need of fuel. Or having to push your bike to the nearest fuel icon before being set upon by a horde and having to abandon it and running off to hide as they swarm past before returning to it and starting again. It’s aces.

Deacon the Beacon, amirite?

Fair enough, although I’ve seen games that fairly easily have the player rotate to face the same direction as the camera when standing still.

I’m not sure why it would be.

Well if the torch is on his body wouldn’t that require his feet to sort of swivel ?

It’s horses for courses I guess. It seems to have found an audience and who wants to pick apart things like that? Especially if your not actually playing it.

Tbf if torchlight is the big discussion point then I’d say the game has exceeded many expectations.

I like you can skip a section if you can’t do it ... one stealth section last night was beyond my admittedly slightly drunken ability .. next thing cut scene and on with the game. More of this developers please

One thing a bit immersion breaking taking down some goons in a camp when we disturb a horde who come running round the corner.

That’ll distract the baddy as he’s over come by zombies

No he’ll still chase just me firing away at my health ignoring all the zombies ....

Hmm

Couple of questions for people further ahead how do I get more guns in my locker?

Is it possible to throw grenades without having to selecr them in the menu?

So I can't store guns I find?

The Torch thing is now bothering me when it's pointed out. With Deak facing you the light does actually shine out of his ass.

Anyway the Driving South with Boozer mission had a nice touch

There’s one ambush camp I’m struggling with

it’s
