(I had to fight off an armored zombie German shepherd - an Alsatian, to those of you in Great Britain - with my makeshift crowbar, before I could run into a nearby house for shelter.)<br /><br />But afterwards, when I looked outside, I found that the acid rain had killed everything else nearby. I'm pretty sure that never happened in the previous version of the game.<br /><br />Likewise, when I'm in the evac shelter, I can go outside after a period of acid rain and find dead moose and other animals all around (far more food than I can use, especially since I apparently need a recipe in order to make jerky - or even canned meat - now).<br /><br />This only affects my immediate surroundings, and animals just respawn again. Well, zombies will recover from being dead, if I don't butcher or smash them (and if they sense me, and come inside, they'll be protected from the acid rain, of course). But I thought this was interesting. An it <i>is</i> an easy way to 'hunt.' :)<br />Bill Garthrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552459555883204060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379287241318002122.post-74070587229958298402014-03-07T10:29:19.285-06:002014-03-07T10:29:19.285-06:00i'll fight them with karate. :)i'll fight them with karate. :)Chimeradavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373236451090168388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379287241318002122.post-71214744845216982172014-03-07T09:29:58.032-06:002014-03-07T09:29:58.032-06:00There's no need to update, John, although this...There's no need to update, John, although this version apparently fixes many bugs.<br /><br />Also, note that you won't have to learn the game all over again. It's the same game, with the same controls. This just gives you more options when starting a new game, more content, some balance adjustments, and, as I say, bug fixes.<br /><br />Oh, and the option to have dinosaurs in your zombie apocalypse (if the standard game is too easy for you, I guess). I'll have to check that out sometime, just to see what it's like. I can't wait to battle a Tyrannosaurus Rex with my makeshift crowbar. :)<br />Bill Garthrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552459555883204060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379287241318002122.post-9790735505869559432014-03-06T20:32:17.705-06:002014-03-06T20:32:17.705-06:00I was just getting used to the old version.
