I completed all Expeditions & earned all achievements! - Feedback / thoughts

[Sethioz]

I got it all done! it wasn't as hard as i thought, but i absolutely hate carpathians region, it's like trying to walk in jungle with a blindfold. there's just no open space at all.
here's some of my thoughts and feedback:

I like the echo sounder, but i rarely used it.
drone is quite fun and useful.
tyre pressure feature is cool, but i never really used it, just tested couple times, but you don't really need it. i kept forgetting about it aswell and rather just used winch if i got stuck.
i don't like those mini-games tho, they're annoying and don't fit in the game.
could definetely use trailers.

altho i used mods for the fun, upgraded official vehicles are actually really good and i completed few "very hard" missions in carpathians with upgraded official vehicles only. wasn't very hard at all, you just have to be careful not to roll down the hills.
i managed to fall off in one place, trying to get the upgrade and ended up hanging from a tree :/

fully upgraded Loadstar 1700 SE is actually really good, it has 4wd and diff lock always on, with rock crawler suspension and best tyres it's really good. it's a whole different vehicle once you fully upgrade it.
upgraded Warthog is also good, but could use a snorkel!
Khan 39 is also quite good
that other 4 wheeler starter truck is also good once upgraded, only issue is that it flips really easily, but it can climb really well and has pulling power aswell.

STAY AWAY from bandit tho, it's total junk! i don't know why devs nerfed the hell out of it, in snowrunner it was amazing, but then again in snowrunner it was DLC vehicle .. no wonder it was better, but seriously ... bandit is total junk. it has diff lock and 4wd always on, but it EATS way too much fuel and lacks power. i have it fully upgraded with best engine and offroad gearbox, but it just won't move. it also flips too easily and winch points are too centered, so its hard to get it back on wheels.

Tatra FORCE is also very good, it has lot of space for stuff, including radar and it climbs really well, but be careful. if you flip it, you need heavier vehicle to pull it back on wheels. I used it for most seismic vibrator missions.

ANK MK38 looks really cool, but even most powerful engine is just lacking power. it often gets stuck and won't move, even in L- gear it just won't move as engine doesn't have power, but once it starts moving, it's really good. it has good pulling and climbing power.

I also got all achievements
https://steamcommunity.com/id/sethioz/stats/2477340/?tab=achievements
i find it kind of sad and funny at same time, that only 0.2% of players have driven 200km, it really shows that people touch and quit :(
drive 100km isn't better either, only at 1.3% .. what you people doing? start driving!

not sure why there are 3 achievements with 0% tho, i have them, so it can't be 0%.
2 of them are easy to get, just takes time. repair 10000 points and recover 100 times. also pick up 100 removable anchors, i spent about 30 mins on doing those 3 achievements just for the sake of it.

saddest part, is that only 85.8% of players have completed their first expedition .. makes me wonder, what are those 14.2% of players doing if they haven't even completed the tutorial expedition?
is tutorial really too difficult for some players?

ugh .. and only 52.3% have completed all expeditions in colorado ... it's literally so easy, you can do that in 30 mins or less.

anyway now i'm bored and bit disappointed that achievements were so easy to get. why is there no achievement for completing all side missions in region? snowrunner has much harder achievements.

overall game was totally worth playing and even tho i'm bit bored of it, mods will keep me busy for a while. i strongly recommend using mods, it's lot of fun. just don't pick some low quality nonsense mods, get something realistic. like that APC, it's amazing. it's so well made.
If you're not sure if mod is good or not, first check how many up and down votes it has, but also check mod size. bigger size usually means better quality as mod creators have put more effort into detail, which results in bigger size.

I really like the ANK pack (3 trucks) and the APC (it's 4x4, but has prototype suspension that adds 2 more wheels). there are other fun mods too, that have realistic performance and good details.

here's my playlist with all the videos on the franchise:

will be updating that playlist, i have at least 10 hours of footage that i need to edit > render > upload > publish :)

Then he proceeds to cry in the comments why are people judging him for using mods. Literally 0 logic and skills so he had to use mods to complete the mission. Literally he chose the worst path possible

according to your own logic, if someone acts in a movie, then you judge them based on the character they play in the movie? nice logic .. get blocked.

weird comparison, i gueess you use op mods too. np with that but dont go bragging.

i'm simply tired of jealous haters talking trash. there's not even 1 bit of truth to those baseless cries. if you or anyone else has something to say, bring detailed examples like so:

1) on this video (link to my video) @ (time stamp)
2) you using this mod, which is OP because: original vehicle "this, this and that" can't do what the mod can do
3) record footage with and without mods, show the difference.
4) explain further details why it is harder without the mod
5) do not include non upgraded official vehicles as they're really bad

if you can't produce constructive feedback like that, just shut it and stop posting senseless hate. we all know that only reason why people hate, is out of jealousy. they WISH they had my skill and fame, so they have to stomp on my entertainment videos out of jealousy.

That said, lot of mods are actually worse than fully upgraded official vehicles, but jealous haters wouldn't know this, because they have never played more than 30 mins. they haven't unlocked anything and they just assume based on how bad the default vehicles are.

Want to prove me wrong? do as i said and include detailed comparison. do not link other people's videos, record your own footage and upload it yourself. make sure your steam name is seen on the video aswell.

those haters always have level 0 steam accounts and they don't even own the game, which makes me think that they use cracked copy and they are hating on mods cuz you can't use mods on cracked copy.

not true...or...perhaps question of preference. YES, its very thirsty machine (8wheels what u expect :D ), thats true, but otherwise is very versatile and agile vehicle and can go almost enywhere (i scaned all 8 maps mostly with Bandit) but u have to be carefull and PATIENT :D ... and would probably stay with default suspension as the high one can cause instability and tipping more frequently - dont have offroad (or crawler) suspension yet - that might be golden way to go
