This game waas made by a bunch of teenagers that insert shitty jokes into every facet of the game, and forgot to add the roleplaying in their RPG, interesting chracters? What's that? Oh wait no this game was made by the devs of New Vegas, Tyranny, and KOTOR 2, but honestly my description isn't far off. The game feels like it was made by middle schoolers, I'm talking theater kid levels of cringe and stupidity. Go and buy Mars War Logs and The Technomancer, they're clunky but offer a great experience and are usually available for pocket change.
...if you know what to expect. It's a Fallout/TES game in space and it's really well done compared to Bethesda games. Maybe a bit shorter, but I think that's a good thing if you don't play games to pass time but for the ride.
I wish I knew this was coming to GOG a few months ago when I got it from Epic. Not that I care that much... I just discovered Epic games don't actually have DRM unless it's one of the specifically bad infamous ones, I assume.
This game gets boring fast. Super easy and loot everywhere and i mean everywhere. Got to the point of why do side quests at all or even look around that much. Once i started to just rush the main quest, i knew i was done. Not a bad game, just kinda meh.
Starts out pretty good, you can use higher ground to fight enemies by abbusing their abysmal AI. Which already means it is pretty bad but hey at least you can have a little fun, fighting them. Especially since they have a deadly aim, like perfect aiming. You can hide behind things and just knock them out one after each other once they run behin your cover. Lovely stuff.
But very soon this isn't possible anymore. You cannot work strategily, you have to tank everything out. Get super duper higfh armor and just act as a bullet sponge or get eaten by all the super aggresive creatures. It almost tries to be more of an action oriented shooter but it isn't really designed for this. May I compare this to Borderlands? Which is like super non stop action nonsense but it knows it and builts its gameplay elements around that.
But this here is supposed to be a little bit like fallout, and fallout was all about strategy and killing enemies from the distance. Seriously I remember how awesome it was to get some decent headshots in new vegas!. Yes this games combat system is worse than the one of New Vegas. And if someone tells me that this game is about the story and not about the gameplay than I can tell you that you have no clue what videogames mean, if you want story only than read a book! Seriously I read books, they can be so much better at times. Books are all about the story, games are all about gameplay, either the story enhances the gameplay or the story is told trough the gameplay (that is when videogames truly become fine art), gameplay doesn't need to be fun technically, but that goes way to deep here. I would have prefered this story as an adventure game with puzzle solving, oh another thing, new vegas had some puzzles, this here, not at all.
Now what about the story? Forget about it, it is pretty mediocre, fun for a little bit, but would be better told in movie form. I mean I've heard in the US many people are so in debt, companies might own them. But europe? Nope!.
When I played this game the very first time, I was amazed as to how good it was.
The game is GORGEOUS but the story itself is meh. The replayability? Even less. You either chose to side with the corpos or not. That's it.
It didn't have any romance but I don't really care about that (Funny to see the male Gamers™ losing their mind because the only "attractive" and interesting "female" they want to date doesn't want to date their male character lmao. My dudes, she doesn't want to date our female characters either. She already has a crush on someone else. You know, like how it happens in real life. This game was never going to have any romance for our MC so I don't know why you are all so surprised.
Also I am tired of male Gamers™ constantly writing about how "ugly" the "females" are. This is a dystopian world where people are valued on how many hours they can put into their work. Do you think these WOMEN have time to put on makeup and look pretty for anyone? Do you think the men on this game look any better? Bet you don't see them saying THAT.
Gamers, stop believing that because the game has "from the creators of your favorite game" that means that the game will be exactly like that one. Companies can put "from the creators of..." even if they only have 2 people from the old team. You guys put the expectative on your mind that this was going to be like Fallout or even better and when Obsidian didn't deliver, you lost your mind.
Anyways, its a good game if you're bored, have literally no other FPS/RPG to play and don't mind the non-replayability of it... also wait for the game to go on discount.
