Rust: female player model is in. Genital lottery begins again.

Did they not model the labia on the women? They just look like barbie dolls. Seems weird when you have the guys with full on dongs flapping about.

It looks like they put some hair there, which for most people would cover the labia entirely.

I mean the models are not really a very high standard of modelling or example of high polygon budget haha.

But I guess yea kind of interesting the male has a comparatively more detailed modeled penis.

Serious question do they emulate periods in this game? Is it that type of game? Serious question.

I probably hastily worded that since I was on mobile earlier. What I mean is, when I went looking for a game a couple years ago, RUST was a sandbox-y obvious-beta game where everybody was a weird naked dude. Ok, whatever, sounds good. It's on sale, maybe, I'll try this out.

But now if I was looking to buy a game RUST is 20 bucks and there's the chance when I buy it that's I'll end up a completely different race and gender than I am and there's just nothing I could do about it. And the "choice" is made retroactively for me already owning the game, too. Maybe it's shallow, but when i play games that are sandbox-y or have any sort of character creation, I like to play as something close to "myself."

I wouldn't buy RUST at 20 dollars today, and I probably won't even launch the copy I already own anymore, because something really fundamental about the way I enjoy the game has changed and it doesn't appeal to me anymore. Part of this is also the user base and the more violent, vocal and younger reactions to this whole thing that you can't get away from online. It was bad enough when this was just about dick size.

It doesn't matter though, because they already had my money, and that feels weird.
It sounds like Early Access isn't for you.
i would give you a serious answer but I'm sure I'd get banned for it so I'll just leave it b.
Responses like this are such absolute bullshit. If you can respond seriously without being a bigot, you probably won't be banned. If you can't, then you probably should be banned.

While I like the "social experimental" nature of what they're trying to do, it really rubs me the wrong way that I paid 20 bucks for this game and, when they add changes and content like this, they're essentially taking options away from me and telling me how to play their game.

Literally every design choice a developer makes is them telling you how to play their game.

Makes me want to try rust even more hehe (the genetic lottery idea), but only have so much time to play everything...

I..wow this is basically you admitting you have some pretty terrible reasons which you are aware of due to the fear of being banned and yet you still put it out there.
 
This is just hilarious, both the whiners who don't want to be the women and the ones who really wanted to be a women but still didn't get it.

I wonder what's their endgame for the genetic stuff. Will it just be stuff that affects your outward appearance or will there be systemic stuffs? Is there a food/eating system in the game? Randomized food allergies could be cool. Or even randomizing things like eyesight or total strength potential through randomized body size.

thats not cool yo, why are you trying to pick a fight? I'm not a bigot. All I'm saying is that i think its pretty dumb that I can't choose my gender.

my reasons aren't terrible but I'd rather not share my "controversial" view and have myself banned because my view is different from yours. i promise you its not as bad as you think and maybe its not something thatll get me banned, but hey, why risk it?

does your avatar affects anything in the game?
Knowing nothing about the game, I imagine just the social part. Which could then affect how other players react to you. Like, I can totally imagine groups of players going around targeting other players of a specific gender or specific race.

The game seems perfect for some grad student's paper lol.

To me this is fine so long as they keep re-rolling with updates. But it'd be annoying if when they're done updating you got permanently stuck with an avatar you disliked.
 
I wonder how the animations are? I've picked my gender based on how each model looks in game animations voice etc in other games.
I'd hate to get stuck with the gender that has crappy animations or voice overs etc

Ha! Some people's reaction to this is hilarious. "I don't want to be a girl, no fair" Well life isn't fair my friend, welcome to the mindset of a transgender person; where we don't like the sex or sometimes gender we were given.

my reasons aren't terrible but I'd rather not share my "controversial" view and have myself banned because my view is different from yours. i promise you its not as bad as you think and maybe its not something thatll get me banned, but hey, why risk it?

Dude, even if you don't want to explain it, you pretty much just said you believe gender is a choice. I don't care about your view, most of the scientific community agrees that gender is not a choice. Your opinion is yours, but it's just like saying sexuality is a choice.

This can only end well. Maybe the Rust developers are just trying to encourage their sedentary player base to turn off their computers and go outside. It's beautiful out there.
 
In a game where you die often random character generation is an ok idea. Usually you let the player choose, but whatever.

If you only get the same thing every life then it's a stupid idea plain and simple. You can look past it and enjoy the game, but it's a stupid "feature" at the end of the day.

She just looks a bit off, it reminds me of this.

I dunno, at this point it feels more like a PR stunt more than anything.

It was an interesting social experiment when they did it the first time, but I don't think there is anything particularly wrong in wanting a character creator.

Maybe if it was like this from the beginning instead of years after release?

Show some balls/labia and demonstrate the courage of your convictions, or leave the passive-aggressive crap at home and suck it up, prince/ss.
It's just been brought!



I'm tempted to buy into this game now. I like the idea of a randomized permanent character. Very unique idea!
 
Jesus, how long has it been? I remember reading about it some years ago.

lol years. The game was released after 3 months of development. When it blew up after a few months they decided their original code was a mess and they had to remake the entire thing from scratch. It's has come a long way last few months.

I also love the idea that going from "you are male, you have no choice" to "you are randomly male or female, you have no choice" is the developer taking away options.

What?
 
Been waiting for this update to comes out. Look like Rust has determined that I'm a lady. Neat mechanic, I actually really like it.

I think I would be pissed if they added stuff like this after I'd paid for it. It looks like they value the controversy more than pleasing those who supported them with early access.

Edit: Wait, if this was in the game (aside from the random gender choice) from the beginning then it's ok.

I got pretty bored with the game years ago already but I download it again for these things just to see what I get. Got a dark skin tone last time, let's see if I'm a female now.
