This game is PAY TO WIN in disguise. Let me explain.

There are only 3 servers that have more than 20 players in multiplayer. Considering that a server in this game has over 100 planets which can be larger than 2048 square kilometers, servers with less players are basically singleplayer servers. If you actually want to play with other people, you need to play on the top three servers. The problem with this, is that each of these servers has item shops, where you can buy things that are not possible to make yourself, like ships with 20 mining turrets etc. This ruins the game, especially pvp.

Also, I would like to note that if you complain about the ptw mechanics, you will be permanently banned from all of the top servers. The server owners have a list of people that they ban across all of their servers, and they like to silence people who are against what they do.

I would also like to note that Chilimeat, the owner of Unkown Skies (one of the servers in question) makes so much money that he doesn't even have a job besides running an empyrion server... and he claims that the microtransactions are necessary or else he "cant afford" to run a server at all.

I'm literally not able to play this game cause I can't afford $200 of DLC.

I bought this game, and it ran fine. Then, after a random update, it stopped working. There was no way to downgrade, and the developers basically told me i was ♥♥♥♥ out of luck.

I am a huge fan of full loot pvp. I grew up playing Wurm Online, and though I came to find that game pay-to-win as I got older (and I eventually got banned from that game for complaining about it), there is nothing like that feeling of your heart racing in an intense pvp situation. I dearly miss that feeling. The first time I had that feeling, I thought I was having a heart attack. But eventually, I got more used to it. And it helped me to evolve and become a stronger person. Its like the thrill of riding a roller coaster. Its unpleasant, but strangley addicting and enjoyable because of how intense it is. PvP can be an ultimate test of your cognative ability, and with full loot involved, it also is a huge test of your emotional control, especially when your on the losing side. This is something that, for younger people, can be very overwelming at times. I've even seen fully grown adults rage after losing something in full loot, simply due to the investment involved in getting what they lost.

That said, Rust has these things. I missed PvP dearly, so when I found rust I jumped on it. I first played in a small gaming community with a bunch of friends. We built a base, and some other people in the community built an opposing base, and we fought back and forth. We made deals to never raid when offline, and the game was a lot of fun and action. Several newer kids to the genre of full loot had to learn the ropes, and I was glad to teach them how to have fun despite the intense drama of the situation. We had a lot of fun, until we found out that an admin, who happened to be in the opposing clan on the server, was spawning in thousands of high ql metals and building a massive base. Then he raided our base when we were offline, and said someone else did it. So all 12 of us left the server, and my fun times in rust ended.

After these events, our little group split tried to find a new community. Sadly, everywhere we went, everyone was hostile. We found that our situation on our community server was a special one, and that the vast majority of the rust community will KOS you without even talking. The game was no longer a game about teamwork, negotiation, and conversation. It became a game of trying not to be killed by douchebags who wont even laugh when you make a joke after walking up to them. So pretty much everyone in our little group left and stopped playing the game at this point.

Now, I understand that PvP is meant to be hostile, and it attracts all sorts of nasty individuals who want to get their "fix" of being a douchebag. This isn't a bad thing, it makes the game more interesting. Even I like playing as the badguy in pvp games (thought I make it clear that out of character, I'm friendly with everyone because its just a game). The problem isn't that these individuals are in the community, the problem in my opinion is that there is NO BREAK from the action. There is no in between time between time where you can cool down, unless you find a special community like we had before (which is very rare). This is very different from Wurm, because in the land of your kingdom, you could make friends easily. There is a sense of patriotism for your kingdom, a sense of loyalty to your comrades. This is something a PvP game needs deerly in my opinion, and its the only thing keeping it from becoming a call of duty style death match. There needs to be other groups other than the douchebags who want to kos you. There needs to be some nice people mixed in, to keep things from becoming bland. In rust, unless you get invited into some gaming clan, your screwed from the get go. Noone will talk with you. If you are super lucky, you might find someone willing to talk, but this is rare because these sorts of people don't play this game.

TL;DR This game is bad, because there is literally no break from the intensity of full loot PvP. There is little politics other than one guy is stronger than another so he will kill him without mercy. This makes it a bland game that is nothing more than a deathmatch, which is ok but not what I'm looking for in a full loot pvp game.

I decided to change my review to negative. I was told that I would get the mmo for free, but now I have to buy a starter pack if I want to have the basics. This is a bit stupid.

Pretty decent, especially for a free game. I especially like how guns are extremely lethal. While you lose health quick and its hard to regain, instant respawn removes the headache from dieing a lot.

Best game of all time, from a golden era of PC gaming where the future was not full of DLCs and EA esque super corporations that only want money. This game is what all games should be treated as: artwork, not a money making scheme. Download this game and cry at what the industry has become.

This is the first pc game I played as a child. While some maps like Polis Massa are terribly unbalanced, it can be very fun to play on the losing side in singleplayer and try to win against unmeasurable odds...

This is one of the few fps games that I like playing in singleplayer. Multiplayer is beast too.

Very fun game. My only wish is if there were invaders and such, and a whole military tree. But of course I have dwarf fortress for that so its all good.

I find this game to be annoying, and hard to get the hang of. After playing for 50 hours, I still get killed pretty much instantly. Mount and Blade:Warband seems to be better at fullfilling what I wanted, combat is more fun and rewarding. and the game is even modable to turn it into basically anything..

EDIT: After playing this game latley, I can say its now broken. It crashes after 5 minutes of launching, probably from a memory leak.
