Didn't it have some combat logging thing
There's a 15 second delay for logging out but yeah, you can log out mid-firefight and many people do. However the point was that when you die you don't get to try again from last save - you start again from zero.
It was a lot of fun. A lot of just walking around, checking out houses, mundane stuff really and then suddenly someone starts shooting and you fucking panic and try to run aaand you're dead game over. 20 hours of game time gone.
No other game has got me so panicky, it was awesome. You really really really don't want to die after a while, but you also sorta forget to be as careful if nothing happens
It is by far my favourite game ever. I'm not aware of any other quite like it. The level of immersion is insane and like you said, you really don't want to die and lose everything you've been working for tens of hours. The base game itself is not that difficult once you get the hang of it but the fact that you may get shot at by other player literally at any moment changes everything. It's an absolutely massive map and even if there was like only 5 other people playing you still can't let your guard down because one may be in the same town as you. I just wish people were more willing to talk instead of shooting on sight, though I can't really blame them.
After all the times I've gotten blasted when trying to be nice towards someone...
But some of the best moments from that game are when I've actually managed to find nice people.
