I have only been playing this game for a week so i have no idea what the game was really like before, that said i really like the way the game is with the new patch. Fighting tooth and nail just to survive was how i assumed the game would be anyway, spent most of my first few hours drinking from ponds and picking berries just to stop from dying before a lucky find on a farm that no one had looted meant i would live a little longer. Also enjoyed running from the Zeds because i had no weapon apart from my fists and dodging bandits who were after what little gear i have. Just how i thought the apocalypse would be :P. Great job dev's, keep it up :).
