This game makes me wish I was recording all the time...

I spun up a modded MP server to play with my kids (all adults). Some of the things that can happen in this game are just mind blowingly fun.

Shortly after starting the server, and everyone dyeing at least once, we manage to converge on the Rosewood PD. We have an axe, and make short work of the armory doors. 2 of us break in, and immediately start grabbing and loading weapons. As a cop with 3 aiming, i immediately grab the m4 and start loading. Team mate grabs a shotgun and start loading. Third member, is yelling he is being chased by a horde. We tell to run in the armory, and we will unleash hell on the horde. He comes running in. Two of us standing ready with our OP firearms, and ready to wrecks some Z's. Team mates comes in, screaming in discord, and tries to grab a weapon. A mob of zombies come around the corner. The sound that I heard next will be with me forever.... <click> followed by another resounding <click> as both of our weapons jam. The rest would go exactly as you can imagine. Screeching on discord, as our survivors are immediately overwhelmed and killed.

Then there was the instance, where the 4 of us try to getin in a car, that someone had filled with canned soup.... "Why is the car full of soup" is not a sentence I would ever have considered to make sense....

I was transfering all my stuff to a new base after surviving for a month. I stupidly got out to check a van on the highway and got a neck laceration. I was like woo that was close but thought id be ok, in critical condition but stable. Jumped in my car pulled ahead 5 feet and hit a sign. Died from car accident damage lol

Look up Shadowplay or OBS! You can have a keybind to save a recording of the last few minutes of gameplay, I always have it running when playing Multiplayer for exactly the sort of stuff you're describing

Forgot to mention that it's unwise to use this on weaker systems since it saves that data to RAM I believe? Which, for those systems that are old and/weak, will take a hit to performance

Check in GeForce experience, with Shadowplay you can record your last 10min of gameplay instantly, really useful for the great moment like that.

It certainly is a great way to fill up your drive. Last week I deleted 400gb of shadowplay "oh nice I might want to look at this again" videos.

i had that same problem too, but i found out you can just set the bitrate to the lowest, and the fps to 30. the lowest bitrate on 720p recording still looks perfectly fine tbh.

LMAO! I can so picture that, what a way to go!

The stories I walk away from with games like this, Rimworld and Kenshi damn near every single session are the best levels other games have to offer. It's truly on another level.

If you have GeForce experience you can turn on instant replays for whatever game you are playing.

If a mod I ran made shotguns jam I'd throw that mod out faster than you could say "britas"

Depends if they're traditional shotties or the semi-automatic ones that can fit five or more shells in (if you mean from a realism POV}

Medal.tv will let you record all the time, without having to worry about maintaining a stream or filling your storage up with massive videos. You just hit a hotkey and it’ll save the last (up to) 10 minutes of gameplay which gets stored in their servers allowing you to share it from their platform like a twitch clip.
