Yeah it's true. it's barely a survival game anymore. All we do is grinding materials and build kill corridors. I miss the old, random AI that attacked everywhere cause it felt more zombie like.
I wish the zombies would act this way again, while the bandits should get this focused AI.
The thing I miss the most are the gun parts with different qualities. It made exploring the most rewarding experience.
Hopefully the bandits aren't just zombies with guns/meele weapons, there will be more traps, more horror feeling, better sounds and more stuff to do besides farming magazines, building kill corridors and questing
