I am a 36 year old with a PhD in Philosophy. I am $450k in debt and currently working two minimum wage jobs in order to stay alive. I work alongside 18 year olds and whenever they ask about my background I just tell them I've been in prison for a long time, which is less embarrassing than admitting the truth. I am probably the most well-informed Husserl scholar on the North American continent, perhaps in the world. My 1,500 page biography of his life has been rejected several dozen times. No college will take me on since they don't think Husserl is relevant, and that other applicants are therefore pushed to the head of the line. I have had 6 Husserl-related papers published in different journals and philosophical quarterlies, but have earned no money or recognition for having done so. I just moved to Abbeville, Louisiana since there is a job opening at the university in Lafayette and I decided to go all out in order to get it. But I've just found out that my application was rejected and now I'm stuck working at a Wendy's three shifts a week and a Barnes & Noble the rest of the time. I have no wife, no children, and at this point no friends I'm willing to talk to due to the shameful nature of my existence. I only play Pharaoh (1999)
This will be brief. What is good about the game is the beautiful setting and platforming. But the platforming is only beautifully kinetic, not challenging. The combat is awful and out of place, with none of the free grace of that of Sands of Time, clicking over and over again in single duels against enemies that have no real differences. The story is weak, about an idiot king who literally gives up the world to the devil. And with the player character they were going for a Han Solo type; unfortunately he's nothing but a generic, edgy thug; and he blathers on constantly with the raggedy princess he's trying to hook up with. (All that said, the not-dying complaint doesn't make much sense, the game over and restart is just fluidly worked into the game, being practically identical)
