Rust - Casual gameplay and review
Rust Game Review
So it was my first time playing Rust but as playing a lot of survival games I was confident in playing it but right off the start it made me pretty upset.
There is no character creation it is all based on randomness. Including race, gender, and genital size. I read somewhere that they started with all the mods/admins being females everyone else was males. I of course got a male. I whined the whole 4 hours I played. "I don't want to be a guy I want to be a girl." After that, I just blurted out, "Fine I'm gonna be gay, or trans because I'm going to wear some cute shit." There is a lot of downloadable clothing made by the community there are also things that you can purchase and even some you can earn by watching streams on Twitch.
Now we started on a community server, that was set to PVP. So we get in and I'm not thinking of anything, but there was this helicopter that kept shooting at me, it was like O.O oh damn. So I'm sneaking around, with no clue on how to make anything. My buddy makes a spear and I'm like oOo I need me one of those. But somehow get distracted with making a house instead. I found a guitar and played the most awesome song ever! (A bunch of random notes)
We killed some wolves, saw a bear that I snuck around, and boar almost killed me once. I also just had a shirt for the longest time till everyone in my stream was like OMG you finally have pants. I just wanted my thang a lang to flop around since I had to be a guy. Like, damn. (I didn't know to apply the skins so I am not cute yet)
So we collect a bunch of stuff and get a bunch of boxes at this point I'm getting frustrated because we need metal fragments and I have no idea how to process the things we have down to get them. It was then my buddy found a recycler in one of the buildings by a satellite tower. At that point, it was like YES! Let's make all the things now. It's also the point I realized that all the things I planted died because you can't water them with seawater... Oops. So that was the next step to make a water purifier. Carry buckets and jerry cans back and forth, fill up the water tank things that I had found.
So, really I enjoyed the game, walked around naked, hit things with rocks, and made a cute house. It was just the being a guy thing that bothered me. Oh, and then you have to be super, super close to the workbench to make anything in your inventory, and in most servers it gets built around.
