Is this version really worth it?

[Ceceli Δ]

The bad performance aside, since people say this version runs fine with newer CPUs and I own a 12700k, what other reason is there to get this version?

I watched Yong Yea's video saying the differences and it seems that all that has been changed are things to make the beginning of the game a little easier for noobs.

Did I miss something?

I started the game from scratch, 21 hrs in and I noticed no differences. It's not worth it if you already played the base game and had a fulfilling experience.

If you want to play the game again I guess it's worth it.

21 hours and still haven't used the strand weapon to tie down your cargo yet? Crikey, mate! That's one of the best features they added to the game that makes the first 21 hours more bearable.

Tie down your cargo? I thought the strand weapon was only for mules?

I don't have a clue what you're on about, I'm about to get the 2 lovebirds together and there's nothing new apart from a gamemode somewhere I'm not interested in the slightest (firing range).

No new structures, no new weapons, nothing new.

It's not a problem because I wanted to play the game again

In the OG version you would be correct. As for Directors Cut, the strand can be use to "lash your load" to a floating carrier, etc.

Equip and prepare strand and then face your floating carrier, press "fire" and watch Sam tie his load to the floating carrier, etc. The ETC is for you to find.

Okay, but that is objectively wrong. There are new weapons. There are new combat moves. There are new structures. You are on the Chiral artist/ Junk dealer quest, right?

Yes
I enjoyed the jump attacks btw, but so far it's basically the same as the base game. I started a new game exactly to get the best experience with the stuff they added + play the game again with my new PC (I had frame drops to 20 fps before)

Yes the base game is essentially the same. The jump attacks are pretty awesome. The new stuff is spread across the game. Like the Jump ramps.

Whut? I think I'm about 60 hours in... I do recall it being (briefly) mentioned in a bit of dialogue thinking about it, but I didn't think you could actually do it

Apologies if my initial comment sounded sarcastic. It wasn't intended. It was more surprise.

I will be honest, I found it by accident in my first few hours of playing DC version. As a mechanic to make life easier, I would consider that the biggest quality of life improvement. Seriously, once the kit is lashed down, then mule spears will take two attacks to remove cargo off your carrier. First one that hits, breaks the strand binding and the second hit then removes gear off your floating carrier. Like I say there are more uses than that - support bot, trike trailer (my favourite new vehicle) - it's a useful mechanic.

Yes it makes the game a touch easier but then it was, in my humble opinion, an oversight not including that feature in the base game.

It was worth paying a fiver for the upgrade, just to get rid of the Monster Energy Drink adverts.

Monsters just disappeared in the classic version a few days ago. Now it's the Porter's Drink or something like that.

That makes sense. Thanks! I'm enjoying the classic version so far. Already 60h in.

I see. I guess it was clear. So, to sum it up, if I deliver a material from a MULE that you touched, making it "yours", I get likes for delivering it to a facility. If I recycle it, I get the materials itself.

A follow up question would be: what happens after I deliver something that's yours to a facility? Does it mean that 30 minutes later you'll receive that in your instance? And does the game tells you which facility it is stored in?

I feel like this game deservers a very extensive manual, just like the good old classic games that came with manuals.

1) yep.

2) I guess so. Depends. As woth all good Internet answers, it depends.

3) yeah, not going to lie, this game really could have used an external instruction manual but there is one in game.

Then I guess what needed to be done is have a better manual in game haha

This?? Well, that's pointless, at least for me. Long before unlocking the carrier, I was already stealing MULEs' trucks. So once I unlocked it, it was pointless.

Yes, upgrade or buy the DC. There are many improvements and most new items are interwoven into the game. It's an entire different experience, for the better

No, they're still there, you just completed a mission to deliver the Timefall Porter beer which changes the drink in the private room to beer, but you can change it back to monster if you prefer (original version of DS, not DC).

That's weird. In 2 different ways. So you complete a quest and then the sponsorship drink automatically is switched to beer and beer IRL wouldn't ever give you 25% more stamina. If anything, it would give you less. lol

How do I get back Monsters energy drink? I did a quick research and one guy said you have to keep drinking the beer and eventually the Monsters are back. Is that it?
