Roblox 3008 is one of the best horror games on the platform. Check this article to find out how to survive and thrive in it.]]>

Roblox 3008 is the horror game adaptation of SCP 3008, a short story from the SCP Foundation. In this game, the goal of players is to survive in the infinite ROKEA supermarket (dubbed SCP-3008-1) while getting hunted by humanoid monsters (dubbed SCP-3008-2), who becomes aggressive at night. In this article, we are going to showcase a complete guide on how to play SCP-3008 Roblox.

Furthermore, if you like horror, it might be a good idea to check out the top 10 Roblox Horror Games.

  • 2 - Expand your base and improve security
  • 3 - Dealing with Employees
  • 4 - Advanced survival tips in Roblox 3008
  • 5 - Special events
SCP 3008
Spoilers: They lied.

1 - What to do on your first night of Roblox 3008?

In survival games, the first night is always the hardest... and Roblox 3008 is not an exception to this rule. Your main task is to keep the SCP-3008-2 (or Employees) away. Do any of the following things to increase your chances of survival in Roblox 3008.

Create a base

  • Build a shelter to protect yourself from Employees, preferably near a food source like Cafeteria or in places hard to get to like industrial shelves. Find food and friends in the server to survive with.
  • Create waypoints using the extras menu (T key). It is recommended to make one on your base and any important areas you want to remember.
  • If you spawn during the night, just try to make a small shelter with whatever you see around. Don't walk too far away from spawn, as that'd only lead to an early death.

Find friends

An extra pair of hands or two would be much needed to survive until the end. There are two methods of locating friends.

  • Follow the White arrow in the middle of rotation arrows. There is a white arrow in the middle of the rotation arrows when the player first picks up an object. Just rotate the object on the Y axis and tell your friend to do the same.
  • Whistle: This action creates a temporary beacon at the player's position. When your friend whistles, you would see an exclamation mark and his name on the map. Last 3-5 seconds.
pallets
Employees can see through those pallets.

2 - Expand your base and improve security

After surviving the first few nights in Roblox 3008, it might be time to expand your base and improve its security. Below are some of the most important tips for developing your base:

  • Employees cannot crouch, therefore, you can make an entrance that can only be entered by crouching. Just be careful, as some of them are short enough to enter without crouching.
  • Employees can climb ladders or ladder-like objects, including pallets, ladders, shelves, bookcases, etc.
  • Try to build multiple base layers. Employees cannot pick up objects, so a manual door is very useful. Create various obstacles in the vicinity of your base to slow them down.
  • Using TVs to build your base can be a good idea as they provide decent lighting. This lets you preemptively know when an employee or friends are coming.
  • Don't create bases with pallets as Employees can see through the gaps. Coffee tables and ladders are see-through and Employee-proof, so you can make walls from them and look outside at the same time.
  • During Blood Nights, a group of employees can pile on top of each other and swarm your base. To deal with this problem, just build walls as high as possible so that they can't see you or climb.

3 - Dealing with Employees

Employees are your main enemy in Roblox 3008. They are more or less a variant of zombies.

  • King is the most dangerous enemy in Roblox 3008. If he sees lights turned on by a player, he would go to the area and search. The Industrial Shelf is the only anchored structure in the game that cannot be broken by King. King can be stunned by whistling.
  • Employees will stop chasing you after they lose sight of you, even if it is a big horde. Just hide behind something for a while to lose them. Both pillars and manmade structures are viable.
  • Don't try to outrun Employees, as they are faster than you. Running only draw more Employees to your location.
  • Employees cannot die. However, you can punch them (at night) to stun them for 2-4 seconds.
  • If you are trapped with an Employee in a small space, just left click them once to stun and run. Come back later if that place is your base.
  • Employees cannot harm you in the day unless it's a foggy day. While they get considerably slower, you also can't stun them anymore.
King SCP
King in Roblox 3008 is actually an alien lifeform.

4 - Advanced survival tips in Roblox 3008

Below are some of the more advanced survival tips in the game:

  • Cafeterias refill on Mondays and Fridays. It is important to find multiple cafeterias to get enough food for the week. Get as many Striped Donuts and Medkits as you can, as they are the most useful.
  • You'd die of starvation if your energy level reach 0. Each punch costs 4-8 energy so don't waste it. Food refills the energy meter.
  • A server starts at day 0, which is a Monday. More employee spawns as the server ages.
  • Make little huts away from your base to hide in case it gets invaded.
  • If you can't make a base, it might be possible to find an abandoned one and fix it up. Older servers tend to have more of these.
  • Punches are the only Roblox SCP 3008 weapons available on a normal server. In VIP servers, there is a new weapon called Tool Gun.
running away
It is best to run away as the enemies cannot be killed.

5 - Special events

Blood Nights/Foggy Days

There are two types of Special days in Roblox 3008. There is a very small chance for both of these events to spawn on a normal day (not a multiple of 10 or 16).

  • On Night 10, 20, 30, 40, and any other multiple of 10, there will always be a blood night. On these days, you might want to stack up food during the day before and build more defenses.
  • On blood nights, employees are even more powerful. They can run faster, jump higher, and do more damage than on normal nights. Employees also spawn more frequently on blood nights.
  • On Day 16, 32, 48, 64 and any other multiple of 16, there will always be a foggy day. You need to prepare more on the day prior to that, as wandering around on foggy days is troublesome.
Blood Night
A Blood Night turns everything RED.

Roblox SCP 3008 Wounded survivor

  • The Wounded Survivor (also known as The Lost Survivor) is an NPC that spawns in the game. It can earn players the ''A Lost Survivor'' badge by clicking the survivor for the first time.

Roblox SCP 3008 Escape

  • There is currently no way to escape and will probably never be added. The game is based on an "Infinite" Ikea, so there probably won't be any exit at all.

Minecraft's survival mode is not challenging enough? These are the best five survival games with zombies you can try.]]>

One of the biggest factors contributing to the massive success of Minecraft should be its Survival mode. Players must collect resources, build structures, manage hunger, battle modes, and much more to explore the world and survive. However, if you find that Minecraft’s Survival mode is a bit too easy for you, don’t worry, we have several more challenging survival games that will surely satisfy you.

The Forest

The Forest is one of the best survival games developed and published by Endnight Games in 2018. While there won’t be any zombies in The Forest, it is still a horrifying game, with lots of mutants and cannibals who love to kill you. 

The Forest Survival Games 2
The Forest was one of the most anticipated survival games at the time.

The Forest Survival Game

In this game, you will be a father (Eric Leblanc), whose son (Timmy) was kidnapped by cannibals after their plane had crashed on an unknown island. You will have to do everything in your power to stay alive and save your son.

The crafting interface of this game is pretty interesting. It allows players to create shelter, weapons, and other survival tools to survive.

Night of the Dead

Night of the Dead is relatively new as it was released just over two months ago, on 28 Aug 2020. The primary objective of this game is to survive and explore a vast island, which is covered with zombies. The main character of this game is Lucy, who wakes up from a human experiment. Aside from surviving the nightly zombie waves, she also has to communicate with a small group of survivors to get out of the island.

Night Of The Dead Survival Game 1

Night Of The Dead Survival Game 2

Similar to Minecraft, players have to look for resources, tools, and craft weapons as well as make buildings to defend themselves from zombies at night. However, you will find this game to be much more realistic and violent than Minecraft.

Dying Light

Dying Light, released in 2015, is a survival game developed by Techland. The story of this game revolves around Kyle Crane, who is an undercover again sent to infiltrate a quarantine zone in a city. In this game, there is a dynamic day-night cycle, in which Daytime lasts for around 64 minutes, while nighttime lasts for around 7 minutes. The zombies will be clumsy and slow during the day but will be very aggressive at night. 

Dying Light Survival Game 1

Dying Light Survival Game 2

You can play the game alone or enjoy it with your friends in the asymmetrical multiplayer mode or four-player co-operative multiplayer mode. The gameplay is mostly focused on free running and weapon-based combat, allowing users to choose between fighting the zombies or running away from dangers. 

7 Days to Die

7 Days to Die is among the best zombie survival games, and deservedly so. The game takes place during the aftermath of the Third World War that destroyed most of the world, except for several areas. The main character survived the war and he needs to stay alive by finding food, water, and shelter. He also has to scavenge for supplies to build a strong base to fend off the zombies. Similar to Minecraft and Dying Light, this game also has a dynamic day/night cycle, in which it gets more dangerous at night. 

7 Days To Die Survival Game 1

7 Days To Die Survival Game 2

DayZ

DayZ is a hardcore open-world survival game. In this game, there is only one rule and that is staying alive. Players are placed in the fictional post-Soviet Republic of Chernarus, where a disease has turned everyone into zombies. Being in a survival game, players have to look for water, food, medicine, and weapons as well as kill or avoid zombies in order to survive. However the infected is not your only enemy in this game as there are also other humans in the game, who might kill you for your supplies.

<![CDATA[Instead Of PUBG Mobile And Free Fire, Here Are The Highly Recommended Survival Games For Gamers]]> https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/top-highly-recommended-survival-games-11186 Sun, 05 Jul 2020 03:17:31 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/top-highly-recommended-survival-games-11186
If you want to experience the feeling just like when playing PUBG Mobile or Free Fire, here is the list of highly recommended survival games for you!]]>

Along with the huge number of players, PUBG Mobile and Free Fire have been the two top-world survival games on the mobile platform. However, if gamers feel bored with these games someday, why don’t give a try other games? If you want to experience the feeling just like when playing PUBG Mobile or Free Fire, here is the list of highly recommended survival games for you!

Hopeless Land

This game may have the most similarities with PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite. Hopeless Land also brings the same experience about gameplay, control, and even graphics. It supports some features such as completely new facilities or a variety of communications. Hopeless Land has been downloaded many times on Google Play Store and scores 3.8/5 stars.

Hopeless Land

Knives Out

Knives Out is developed in a bid to bring one of the largest-ever maps to gamers on the mobile platform. It is well-known for the number of terrains, landscapes, and places that are extremely vast enough for gamers to enjoy and discover. Gamers can stay in a city or on a snow mountain to their liking. Additionally, there are lots of tunnels, paths, and any spaces for you to start a survival war.

Knives Out

Due to its large map, gamers always have to feel thrilling and nervous as playing Knives Out. It’s too hard to guess where enemies are attacking, as well as what corner you can find your enemies. That also means there are lots of ways to approach the fighting. Becoming a powerful Rambo or a secret sniper depends on your choice. And of course, the most important thing is to become the last survival.

It’s much greater if you play Knives Out with your teammates in some modes such as Duo, Squad, or Fireteam. You can easily remove your enemies or at least your teammates can support you if necessary.

Cyber Hunter and Cyber Hunter Lite

If you get familiar with Cyber Hunter, it must be easy for you to try Cyber Hunter Lite. These two survival games have some similarities with PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite. One version is designed with full of graphic characteristics, while another version is optimized for low devices. However, both bring lots of excitement to gamers in love with survival games in mobile devices.

Vast Survival - Last Name On The List Of Survival Games Instead Of PUBG Mobile

Vast Survival turns out to be the one with the most realistic and impressive graphic quality on this list. As a completely free game, Vast Survival deserves praise. Gamers have to start their adventure on a map with a countless number of enemies that they need to eliminate by any kind of weapon on their way. This game has a visual control system that sometimes sounds complicated and doesn’t always work well. Additionally, Vast Survival requires relatively high configuration because it has similar graphics as the version on the PC platform.

Monkeys see, monkeys learn! Make them your trustiest minions on this island!]]>

Back in 2015, we've seen a quirky prison-break game namely The Escapists from the publisher Team17. The game is a phenomenon at that time, and its success has encouraged the developer to deliver the second installment two years later.

But we're not going to talk about it today - but about The Survivalists - its survival spin-off that shares the same universe as The Escapists. The visuals and controls of The Survivalists look very similar to its prison-break counterpart, but this time, you'll learn how to survive on desert-island with the help of monkeys.

Below is the announcement trailer of the game for Nintendo Switch, but the game will launch for PC and other consoles as well:

Overview of The Survivalists

The Survivalists takes the settings of a desert island - also your new home that you've somehow visited. As a newcomer, you will come against a lot of difficulties trying to live on this island, especially when the native inhabitants here obviously not welcome you. Hence, you'll have to build your empire from scratch, but only by surviving first.

The Survivalists Pc Consoles Revealed 1
The Survivalists put you in a desert island

As a survival game, your highest objective is to stay alive. Hence, in the beginning, you'll have to travel on this vast island to search for foods and necessary items to meet your daily needs. Collecting fruits is a much safer method, but you can also test your adventurer's spirit by hunting wild animals as well.

Sometimes you can't get to choose since those creatures will hunt you down as soon as they see you. Those creatures behave differently on days and nights, so you must learn their habits to stay away from death. Receiving quests from a secret stranger, you'll gradually reveal the mystery behind this island, and make use of its to become the ruler.

Build your own empire in this newfound home

Teaching monkeys to help you with your journey

On the road to become a ruler, your first minions will be no one else but the monkey that's both smart and stupid at the same time. They're stupid because whatever you want them to do, they'll do it without any question, and they're smart because they learn from your instruction incredibly quick.

To be more specific, whatever you do, the monkeys will do the same thing as long as you give them bananas. They can do a lot of jobs that you would have to spend a day or two to do on your own: chop trees, build houses and fight like real warriors as well. Even better, they'll continue to work even when you're not there, so you can see your base successfully planted after coming back from a raid.

The monkeys are your trustiest helpers in this game

The monkeys are your very trusty helper, but there's a quest that you can only do on your own: crafting. You can create a lot of items, from the axes to help you with your resource gathering, to the swords, bows and arrows to equip you and your monkeys. Like Minecraft, you'll have to find the recipe through exploring, but that's what you want to do anyway.

The Survivalists Pc Consoles Revealed 7
Craft your daily-use items and weapons with your resources

The combats in this game are quite simple, as you only have one button to hit your enemies either with melee or long-range weapons. However, there are a lot of native islanders here, and you will probably not stand a chance against them. That's why you need your monkeys on those battles, and if things go sour, you can invite your friends in as well.

Release date and supported platforms

The Survivalists will come out at an unknown date in 2020. At launch, Team17 will bring it to PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

<![CDATA[Surviving Mars Sequel - Surviving The Aftermath - Is Now Available On PC]]> https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/surviving-mars-sequel-surviving-the-aftermath-is-now-available-on-pc-7219 Sun, 20 Oct 2019 14:00:22 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/surviving-mars-sequel-surviving-the-aftermath-is-now-available-on-pc-7219
The Early Access version of the game is now available on Epic Games Store, while the full launch will be in early 2020.]]>

Earlier this month, Paradox Interactive and Haemimont Games have announced about 'Surviving the Aftermath', the sequel to Surviving Mars. Surviving Mars was a Martian colonization simulator game that was released last year - and if the name of the game sound familiar to you - that is because it was the free game of Epic Games Store last week. And today, the Early Access version of 'Surviving the Aftermath' is available on Epic Games Store.

You can see the trailer of the game in the video below:

'Surviving the Aftermath' Launch Trailer

According to the developers, the sequel of Surviving Mars will not take place on Mars, instead, the game taking place on a 'different version' of our Earth that's heading toward the dystopia. The Earth is on the verge of destruction, and humanity is close to extinction. Being one of the few survivors, you must try to do your best so that you can rebuild the Earth, and try to survive so that you can see the tomorrow coming.

The difficulty of the game is actually toggleable - that means you can raise or lower the difficulty of the game by customizing the scenario of the game: for example, trying to survive in the wilderness is way easier than trying to live through life in the desert full of radioactive. The goal of you when playing this game is to find more survivors, collecting resources so that you can rebuild human society once again.

Surviving The Aftermath 1
Try to survive your way through the dystopia

The developers of Surviving the Aftermath is a new name - Iceflake Studio - however, Paradox Interactive is still in charge of publishing this game to the market. The current Early Access version of the game is available exclusively on Epic Games Store, but the full launch of the game will be on all the other digital storefronts like Steam and GOG. The release date for the full version is expected to be in early 2020.

Survival games might be not for everyone. They are hard, extremely hard and unforgiving. But that is also why people love them. Here is the list of top 5 survival games in 2019.]]>

1. Don't Starve/ Don't Starve Together

Image1 600x381
You can play with your friend in Don't Starve Together

Keeping yourself from starving is certainly a major concern in Don't Starve, but it is not the only thing you have to watch out for in this unforgiving wilderness. Bees, pig men, spiders, and swarm tentacles are there to kill you if you dare to enter their territory. Even your own mentality will fight against you and drive you insane. Summer will be extremely hot which makes you overheat or there will be constant raining which reduces your insanity. Winter, on the other hand, is super cold and prevent you from going anywhere without a source of heat.

You will have to go through all of it to feed yourself while collecting resources to build machines and tools before the world gets more and more dangerous. You won't have much time before the hounds come and then the winter and giant bosses.

Maxresdefault
Animals, the weather, hunger and giant bosses are always ready to kill you

Don't Starve Together is the multiplayer version of Don't Starve so you can survive together with your friends and ultimately build your own base to defeat nature.

Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together are developed by Klei Entertainment for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

2. Oxygen Not Included

Energy
You will manage a space colony in Oxygen Not Included

Oxygen Not Included is another survival game from Klei Entertainment released on July 31, 2019. You will find this game has a lot of similarities with Don't Starve such as art style, difficulty level, and basic gameplay principals.

However, unlike the other game, you won't have direct control over your characters in this game. Instead, you will handle tasks to them and set priorities for those tasks. Just as the name implies, the first thing you need to worry about is oxygen. Then you need to expand your colony to get other necessities such as water, bathroom, bedroom,... to keep your workers alive and not going insane.

Oxygen Not Included Early Access Available Now 0 3
Things can go wrong very quickly and unexpectedly. It could be anything

Things can go wrong very quickly and unexpectedly. It could be toxic gas, poisoned water or your own workers. You might fail a couple of times at first, but to see your space colony thrive makes all those struggles worth it.

You can play Oxygen Not Included on PC via Steam.

3. Subnautica

Will that giant fish over there become your dinner or it's the other way round?

You got crashed on an unknown planet filled with water. There is no other way but to go down to get food and resources. Eventually, will be able to build your own underwater base and make it your home.

The undersea world of Subnautica is just stunning the more you explore, that is if you don't die first. For a start, the lack of oxygen will prevent you from going too far away. Will that giant fish over there become your dinner or it's the other way round? Remember that on this planet, you are definitely not on the top of the food chain.

While there are a lot of things that might kill you are lurking around, Subnautica is fairly relaxing. Unlike many other survival games, Subnautica's story is well-written. You will uncover the mystery of this planet while fighting for your life and find yourself enjoying the magnificent underwater scenery of the game.

Subnautica is available for PS4, PC, and Xbox One.

4. DayZ

A famous mod of ARMA 2 and the inspiration of PUBG

DayZ started out as a famous mod of the same name in ARMA 2 and was released as a standalone game in 2013. While it seems that the game is a little bit too behind other modern survival games now, it is still a good survival game.

The world is plagued by an unknown kind of virus that turns almost everyone into a zombie. You will be playing on a server with 60 players. The goal is to survive as long as possible. There is no short cut, tip or built-in tutorial to help you. You will make lethal mistakes and you will have to start all over again. At first, it might be the infected, dangerous animals or the weather. Later on, you will soon find out that not all players are your friends, but its doesn't mean that everyone out there is hostile and will try to trick you. Meeting up with a friendly player can possibly lead to a real friendship between the two of you.

DayZ was first introduced for PC and is now available for PS4 and Xbox One too.

5. Green Hell

Maxresdefault 1
Build your own tools and weapons to survive the Amazon rainforest

What would you do if you get thrown into the middle of the Amazon rainforest with no memory of how they got there? All you have is your bare hand to get out of this place. You will be using the most primitive ways to build shelter and tools to protect yourself from danger. Predator animals and tropical diseases will be your worst nightmare, not to mention the fear within your mind that is slowly taking over you. If you are lucky (or unlucky), you might even get to see native tribes on your way through the jungle.

Having a radio with a familiar voice of your lover, you will slowly find your way out of the jungle to ultimately understand why you are here in the first place.

Green Hell2
Watch out for native tribes in the jungle

Set in the Amazon rainforest, the environment in Green Hell is spectacular and breathtaking. There are various kinds of animals and plants with dynamic weather. Note that the weather will heavily affect the environment around you, which means there will be different problems arise.

There are 4 difficulty options in total, A Walk in the Park, Welcome to the Jungle, Green Hell, and Perma-death.

Green Hell is now only available for PC, but the developer of the game is planning to bring the game to consoles soon in 2020.

One genre however, has shown that it is not only able to adapt, but actually prosper in this new condition. That genre is survival games.

Survival games like Minecraft, DayZ, ARK: Survival Evolved or Rust have been attracting viewers on Youtube and Twitch years after their release. Newcomers of the genre are no slouch either. Raft, a game in which players have to find ways to survive on a, well, raft in the middle of the sea, came out in May this year. It managed to sell 400,000 copies in the first 2 weeks. Several popular YouTube channels such as Achievement Hunter and The Family Gaming Team have featured it, bringing it to hundreds of thousands of people.

High Stake, High Entertainment

As the name of the entire genre implies, survival games often put your life at stake. You are often put in a life-or-death situation and have to find ways to get through with very little resource. There are other threats that you need to take into consideration as well. You can lose days of hard work in an instant at the hand of another player if the game is PvP. Or you may simply fail to best the hazardous environment. The exhilaration that stems from so much being at stake makes for great entertainment. “To see someone succeed after all that work is a really great feeling for everyone involved, the person making the content and the person watching because they’re brought along on the story with you.”, says Youtuber Rob Winter.

Freedom To Express Oneself

With survival games being as high-stake as they are, each and every action could mean the character makes it out alive, or it could mean everything comes crashing down in an instant. This downfall could be crushing or hilarious, depends on the creator. They are free to play the game the way they want to, and that is why many content creators are turning towards survival games. In a world where competition is growing every day, each Streamer or Youtuber is constantly looking for ways to set themselves apart from others. Therefore, the freedom that survival games provide makes them appealing to many content creators.

Furthermore, many survival games give players the ability to mod the game to their liking. This further creates room for freedom and creativity. Streamer Alex Ponton, also known as FistofTheWalrus, compares games like ARK to a canvas. The base game is the surface, the mods are the colors, and you can paint whatever you want.

Ponton was able to convey his character, his story, his personality through games such as ARK and Conan. He became successful because he managed to turn his stream into a unique TV show that tempts viewers to come back to see how the story plays out.

Another example of content creators finding success through survival game is Achievement Hunter. This is a famous group of Youtubers who often create Let’s Play videos of different games. They began their career with Minecraft, and have since expanded to other games with open nature such as 7 Days to Die and The Forest. James Ryan Haywood, a member of Achievement Hunter, shares that picking a game to create a Let’s Play series for is a tricky endeavor. They need to find games through which they can express themselves.

Similar to Ponton, Achievement Hunter found success by operating in a genre that enables, and actually promotes, freedom and creativity. Through a sandbox game like Minecraft, they were able to discover their own style. Achievement Hunter's content is a perfect mixture of skills, cooperation and funny, friendly insults that is attractive to hundreds of thousands of viewers. Haywood said that the interaction between players and how they react to different situations is “kind of what Let’s Plays thrive on sometimes.

Both sides benefit

Most content creators might not always think beyond how they can attract viewers, but they have a lot of influence on game developers. Take Raft for example. Coming from Redbeet Interactive, a relatively small company, the game would probably have never been as lucrative as it is had it not been for popular Youtubers and Twitch streamers introducing it to their viewers.

Furthermore, content creators and their viewers also play the role of game testers. According to Redbeet Interactive CEO André Bengtsson, by watching gameplay videos of their own games on Twitch and Youtube, and looking at the comments, developers could get feedbacks on what they need to improve with the games, such as what bugs there are to fix, what features they need to add etc.

Survival Evolved

Not just content creators and viewers, but the gaming industry as a whole is noting the astounding success of survival games. Just look at the two games that are currently raking a massive amount of views on streams: PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite. The core idea of battle royale games like these is still survival: You are put in a harsh environment with nothing. You have to scour around the area for resources. Sometimes you have to fight almost literally tooth and nail with others. All of this just so you can survive as long as possible. The idea was actually nothing new. It was there in mods of games like Arma and DayZ long before the birth of PUBG and Fortnite. These game just did a good job of shrinking down the experience and make them more watchable and replayable.

Another promising game for Twitch Streamers and Youtubers who are into survival game is Bethesda’s upcoming Fallout 76. Survival is an aspect that has always been there in the Fallout series. But this next installment is looking more promising to survival game content creator than ever before.

Perhaps the reason we enjoy survival games is because they appeal to our natural survival instinct. The adrenaline rush that you experience when fighting with your life on the line is just not something you could forget easily. But what makes us enjoy watching people play this kind of game is they are kind of like a virtual campfire. Everyone, be they viewers, creators, or game developers, can join in and contribute to the story.
