I have only recently bought this game and only have only played about 15hrs. I have found myself being pushed inland on the hunt for food and kit, lost a friend in a shootout so loaded up on guns and bullets I could not use (ignoring the stacks of food). And as you cant eat bullets I later died of starvation, whilst my hypothermic friend found me and could not revive me (hypothermia later killed him). I like this constant battle to just stay alive and having to prioritize food over bullets/guns, all though I must say a box of cereal seems to keep you fed longer than 5-6 cans of food which is a little odd.
