Funny enough i wasnt drunk that day still i cant even remember posting that.
By the sad levels of spelling and abuse of terms, i guess that was a sleepy-post.
Im ok with bars for other things. It just dosent feel very right that a person knows the exact ammount of joules left in their body or knowing the integrity of their armsin percent. It sounds like a thing a bionic could do. But it would be much better to make messages appear and giving penalities untill you eventually die.
For me, RL is the grindcore of video games. Its hard to access and enjoy, usually has elements the mainstream considers distasteful. It feelslike you guys are trying to turn this into pop rock, easily accessible by the masses and conforms to the conformism of the consumerist masses.
Having generic stupid gun names like "9mm SMG" and "40. Rifle" might make it more accessible, but it also takes a great deal of depth away from the game too.
Likewise does having bars telling the exact values of everything and how close to death you are, just ruins it.
Furthermore, when you become hungry, you shouldnt ignore it because you think shooting zomgs is funnier, this isnt ARMA2 or Garrys Mod, those are buffets full of delicious stuff you can choose to eat from when you want. Cataclysm is that abusive alcoholic dad you had that would make some half cooked half spoilt meal of yucky vegetables and cheap chicken then throw bits of food at you, then the utensils, then smack a dish into your ugly face. Broom the pieces together, take a giant shit on it and says "dinners fucking served ya lil prick"
In GMOD clicking play means instant fun.
Cataclysms play button either means "kill my character instantly" or "give me an adventure out of this world full of starvation, hardships, drug abuse and baby eating"
That is what makes Cataclysm awesome and unique, and that should not ever change, ever.
