I encountered constant disturbing and bigoted behavior, from players screaming racial slurs to mimicking sexual assault over other corpses. As the distasteful interactions and glitches mounted, my enjoyment of Rust\u2019s better qualities waned. You can turn down the volume to mute voice chat, but that\u2019s basically closing yourself off to Rust\u2019s emergent stories.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>So yeah, Rust on PC can be a bit of a wild west. It\u2019ll be interesting to see if the less-savory aspects of the community carry over to consoles and if it\u2019ll be addressed any differently than on PC. It\u2019s worth noting that the console port is being handled by Double Eleven instead of Rust\u2019s original PC developer, Facepunch.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Although Rust has changed over the years, you can read our full review of Rust\u2019s launch state <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/games\/rust\/b\/pc\/archive\/2018\/02\/13\/more-rough-than-diamond.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span><span><span><span>here<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><span><span> for a more complete idea of what to expect before it comes to consoles.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Will you be jumping into Rust for the first time on consoles?
