This game in general.

Jesus. I have tried other games, but I have not been able to play them as much as I have been able to play this one. There is just so much that you can do in this game. Want to be a total pacifist, making night raids, and not directly killing anything? Possible. Want to dress up in women’s underwear, be a cokefiend, and kill enemies with a vibrator. Possible.

I like how things, such as rags, finally stack now. The nutrition, now that it has some balance to it, is nice to have as well. While it was easy, it was too easy to subsist for an entire year off of acorn meal and still be “healthy.”

I like that hunger and thirst are tied in with caloric usage. It was unpleasant to discover, but I think it is a great feature incorporate.

The fact that there are so many ways to “solve” a problem. Take a Zombie brute. You can face him head on. You can run into a house and light him on fire. You can get into a car and run him over. You can shoot him with a shot gun. You can plink him with traps. You can lure him into other enemies to soften him up/kill him. You can avoid him entirely.

I just noticed that when I turn a vehicle, the back corner doesn’t pop out the other way any more. There were so so many horrific accidents before. RIP my old survivors and the old driving mechanics that assisted in your deaths.

I’m also excited that my favorite tileset has character overlays now, MShock32Xotto.

I wish I hadn’t been scared off by all the negative nutrition talk. Now, that I’m deep in a world without it I remember how I always wanted nutrition to matter.

I think that you can add it by modifying your world save data.

there should be a file called mods.json in your /save/(world name) directory. You can remove the simplified nutrition mod that I assume you have. I don’t know what will happen, so have a bunch of multivitamins and a variety of food on hand before you commit to it.

I can’t believe I forgot to mention the audio. Ambient sounds and effects are a tremendous improvement. Thanks for the audio packs Chezzo!

@Indigorain: Thanks for the tip. I expect I’ll die sooner or later and I’ll make a new world. I’m also trying the generic guns mod, and I’m not a fan of it. I imagine turning it off would be chaos.

Although I rarely use it, being able to reinforce clothing with Kevlar was always pretty neat.

I just cleared out a mall. When I attempted this a year ago, survivor zombies instantly destroyed every section I tried to approach. I had a much better experience this time around. All around, zombie spawns and evolutions seem better balanced than they were this time last year.

Cataclysm has EVERYTHING. The most impressive ,game" ever played by me. For me it is more like raw engine with which we can create specific environment for specific playing style. The only limit is our imagination. Cata contains the best features of:

S.T.A.L.K.E.R= general atmosphere
Far Cry= random elements, stealth, playing with fire
Need for Speed= superbike, 300 km/h through minefield:)
Splinter Cell= INCREDIBLE lighting system and tension (horde-be quiet and pray)
Max Payne= I can create character like Max or John Wick and kill everyone
Half-Life 2= the most interactive environment, unsolved mysteries
Rainbow Six= we can create tactical masterpieces
Manhunt= Cataclysm is VERY violent(sometimes)
Deus Ex/Hitman= many possibilities
Dishonored= rewarding creativity

To developers: keep up your outstanding work:)

I love the new night vision mechanics! Now the only thing missing is a fuzzy vision system for Near/Far Sighted.

Explain this please, I haven’t updated my game in weeks.

Night vision is no longer tied to the Night Vision perk: It now increases with Perception.

I haven’t played for a few weeks but made some attempts this weekend (some bugs (threads exist) were harshing my mellow so I’m kind of waiting for the fixes).

A few things I noticed that I like:

Newish vehicle info screen seems good but i’m not used to it so it’s harder for me to tell the status of a vehicle at a glance (no big, just need mroe exposure).

I like the “reading” screen mostly - nice to have the info but I have some suggestions for it (posting as a suggestion).

(there was another similar screen that made sense but I can’t remember what it was)

Lesseps · 2016-11-11T12:54:13.000Z

Totally enjoyed new experimental. Haven’t played for a while (couple months) and a good progress is there! I liked:

[ul][li]Reading interface[/li]
[li]Vehicle interface[/li]
[li]Gun modification interface[/li]
[li]Newer gun calibers and types (mod)[/li][/ul]

I have a question though - all cash cards I find seem to be empty. Is that a bug or intended (found like 5-6 on different Z’s and all are zero).

Unfortunate bug. You’ll also find only completely full lighters, for example. But not all cash cards come empty - on a rare occasion you’ll find one that’s maxed out (at 200M cents).

I found 200M once in one of previous run-ups, but I also used to find ordinary ones. In some later builds I don’t find even that. Just zero

Any ETA on fixing that known?

Sweet, my character has FNV and 20+ perception. I gotta update the experimental and check this feature out.

I just think this game’s hallucination mechanic is amazing. Basically a newbie could induce hallucinations to get glimpses of the various monsters in the game, although the knee-jerk reaction is “I don’t want spoilers”. First thing is to get over that. And even a more experienced player could still see some strange new monsters they haven’t encountered before. I know I have. It just makes me think where the hell these critters could be, IF they even are anywhere really? It’s just goddamn amazing, even if not by design.

There’s a lot of tribal/shaman potential there - premonition sort of thing. First you see visions of strange monsters, then later you might encounter them. That’s like a whole new RPing area to me.

I really recommend hallucinating in Cata. At least once or twice. See if you can hallucinate someone you’ve met before. ;D

BeerBeer · 2016-12-11T12:41:54.000Z

I just want to say that the recent inventory/crafting window speed-up felt like a painkiller. Incredibly smooth and responsive now. Thank you. Also, I think Coolthulhu is a god or an AI. But don’t let that get into your head or head-equivalent.

xironfistx · 2016-12-11T12:49:25.000Z

Love how guns can be used properly now.

papabrando · 2016-12-11T13:05:21.000Z

^They solved the range problem?

EDIT: What I mean is the 30 tile or whatever range cap.
