Ambient weather and effects

I would like to some type of random weather added into the game. I think games that do this make the world seem more realistic. If and when they expand the game maps it would be cool to see some different terrain and effects like snow. Especially up in the mountains. Skyrim did a really good job at that. Also, I hear birds out there somewhere, yet I have never seen one in the game. Hard to believe hellbugs and pows are the only animals left. And running water... Maybe add some streams. Also, razor rain would be cool every now and then. Force people to take cover once and a while.

Trick's already said in the past it was tested on the pc client and worked but needed more work, on consoles its another thing altogether.... if it rained the console died..... so.... yeah dead!:(

thank god i play on pc:cool:

But we still get screwed over by console users? okay granted we now have a proxy memory option, and the potential for hd textures, but still every other design decision seems to cater for consoles because they have the numbers (we are told).

Which is why I love playing pc-only MMO's because they look and perform so much better. When I downloaded and played the pc version a couple days ago, I couldn't believe how smooth it ran. It felt like playing a totally different game. I didn't have to spend 5 seconds for my character menu to load up. I didn't have to wait 10 seconds to fast-travel somewhere. I didn't have stupid auto-aim jerking my controls towards an enemy I didn't give two ****s about. It was magic!

And the fight with the warmonkey got some extra points by how mesmerizing the blue pooballs looked while they were scattered throughout the air!

Too many buttons to push! Besides, I'm {old} school and still enjoy my console.

Oh well, rather be snickered at by the "elitist pc users". Makes me laugh. Not saying that you are one, Crash, but you know who they are.

Yea, you're stuck playing the game right away! I enjoy those few moments. Allows me to take a drink if I'm thirsty or to pet my pug as he snuggles up next to my leg. The small pleasures in life. ;)

If you pay close attention there is an occasional squirrel in Madera.

And bunnies in Marin.
I admit I've only seen the squirrels in one particular place, and the bunnies in another particular place.

Never saw the squirrels in Madera, tho.

Honestly Crash, after I typed it, I thought I may have put the wrong area down, but figured if I did, then somebody would correct me.

I was hoping you'd seen them in Madera, as that would have made multiple sightings.

I still hope they're in more areas.

More wildlife would be great. I want to encounter those creatures from the pilot!

Saberwolves? Where are you? Not in the Bay Area yet.
