Tax money at work.

Ah, Beyond: Two Souls shower scene. Never saw it myself, but yeah, pervs will perv.

The Outer Worlds. I mistakenly pushed on a main quest and it cancelled some side ones or alternative routes without me realizing it would do that. I’m not really upset as my inventory is full of weapons I barely use and I’m slowly but surely plowing through towards the end.
Got one more companion quest to run and the Gorgon dlc, but I think I’m near the end, or at least 3 quarters in.

I was surprised at the lack of romance, though I did play matchmaker, and it feels like guiding others to a treasure i cannot possess.

Some weapons are fun, others are useless. And the ammo loot is set for harder, spongier enemies as i seem to have gathered almost 10k of each.
Durability loss can creep up on you though, so be wary and cycle through them.

Well if you think about it, it might be hard to adapt a video game about a dude going into a reclusive city under the ocean where the rich and powerful harvest little girls to make drugs which gives them superpowers.

Unless I’m remembering that part wrong?

Nobody really bought it for full price. PvP was mostly nonexistent, depending on region, and most players I met were chill. But the grind is real, like really real and the game itself wasn’t that well optimized.

It can be fun and I enjoyed it for a while, but it’s just one big map and grind, grind, grind.

Do i recommend it at full price? No way. Do i recommend it to have at a very nice sale? Just past the limit, yes.

There is a story and there is lore beyond the game, but it requires more patience than any random player has. Crafting also isn’t instant. Online, you could spend currency to speed it up. Not sure if that will change offline. For me it seemed the online model had you working at a loss. Basically, without the best mechs and guns, you weren’t gaining enough to see the worth of a run and it felt like that p2w model where only those who keep throwing money at it advance meaningfully. Or you just grind, grind, grind.

Eventually i got dunno, tired of it and kept dying dumb deaths like falling into water or getting one shot by high rank enemies i didn’t notice (or spawned behind me because someone else had killed them earlier) and i gave up because the materials I needed to keep upgrading the base kept becoming rarer and rarer. Then when I finally got a very rare drop and i was in an expensive mech, I just died randomly and that was it.

Also, there’s a fan service bathing scene for your android companion, which can show up as a quest. (Keep 'em clean, you dirty, dirty pervert!)

I hear meta’s also funding a lot of the lobbying behind all the digital ID laws because all the LLM fakes are destroying its personal data revenue.

I find these toppings unpalatable. A game hits different if the mood relates to the content. One moment’s sweetness is another moment’s bitterness.

What I needed then and look back at now can’t compare because I’m not the same I was.
Capische?

We already have tap to pay at home.

It’s for the greater good.

(Still sarcasm, if you didn’t catch on.)
