Wild we had such different experiences. I think it was worth it, even with a guide. Hopefully if you ever pick it back up you'll have a better go!
First boomer shooter that held mine to completion all the way through. I tend to have trouble navigating them and get lost frequently. The signposting in this one was great. Sometimes with literal signs, sometimes with creative use of colors and lighting. Since I played on game pass I'll probably pick this up.
They probably are, but they decided to make it over in a new engine. Since they have to port the gameplay mechanics over anyways, why not release a remastered version of the original to help fund development of the next one.
Ice to Eskimos in the eastern us. Yes, I know Eskimo isn't preferred but that didn't stop Nana.
Going damn far into this thread without seeing The Vandals
The simple reality of the situation is it was a business decision by Sony. They saw this groundswell of potential players to add to their huge database of people to market to, and said "we're getting those email addresses". If I had to venture a guess, the higher-ups at Arrowhead are probably livid and pushed back. They get zero out of this change and they have to deal with the fallout. It's likely part of the publishing agreement.
That said Sony knew this would happen, if probably not to this degree. Maybe they post a solemn jpeg talking about how they "fell short of expectations". Being Sony it's likely that they just ignore the backlash. Their projections say they'll make more money with all that new data than they'll lose on some half-hearted boycott. Gamers are notoriously horrid at sticking to that shit. And you know what? That next battle pass is gonna sell just fine even if the vocal folks don't buy it.
Yes, it sucks and it's reasonable to be annoyed. Yes, many loud people on the internet are acting like a helldiver kicked down their door and demanded a kidney. Yes, only one party gains from this and it's Sony. These things aren't mutually exclusive. No need for argument imo.
Finally made it to Shell City
Theres a killer arcade called Freeplay in Providence. One fee <$10 to get in and all the games are set to free play. Great pinball selection if you're into that. Cheap beer and okish food while you're there. 21+ most days.
Chilluminati. Jesse Cox who was previously on co-optional with Total Biscuit talks paranormal, internet stories and true crime. Jesse is a skeptic, his stoner co-host is way too into it and the third guy is neutral and just kind of laughs at it all. Better than it should be due to the balance.
Oh yeah when the click hit just right. Soft touch buttons on a 1990s Sony tape deck mmmmm
