I can see where this Rust is going.
I would love it if Rust was a truly play as you want, ultra realistic game. I had a thought the other day, What if there were forests, and you could live however you wanted. I imagined me and a group of other men, our bodies painted with white stripes, we had little pants made from cloth, we ate people who came into the forest, we threw spears at them and killed them then ate them. I just thought it sounded awesome. We lived in huts up in the trees and made scary noises. It just sounded so cool. I really hope Rust gives me the option to do all that stuff. I hope this game goes that direction.
i understand it's in alpha and it's a long way off perfect. But there hasn't been a game that has achieved this.
