New studio, they had to get financing from somewhere, worst case get the director’s cut upgrade whenever it’s on sale, it cost me 5$, so I got 100h of gameplay for 5$.
As I said, no ads in the director’s cut and otherwise, new studio so gotta get funding somehow… They didn’t use a funding platform as far as I remember
The context of the conversation was the director’s cut so I didn’t think I had to specify.
Also these companies get private investing for the games they create. The ads just sound like long-term monetization of a product. ‘Passive income,’ some would say lol. They’re definitely not paying for their next games with ads on a 4 year old game if that’s what your implying
I just have the base, original game on PC, and the energy drinks are just made up generic shit. I have seen the Monster Energy ad (as well as RayBan and other products Sam uses) from the game elsewhere, but always thought it was just a meme.
Yes. This post apocalyptic wasteland in the far future is littered with cans of Monster Energy drink which act as healing potions. So it's not like you can avoid them either.
Relaxing!? For me it’s like the movie Running scared. the moment my porter boots touch grass I’m sanic, miss me with that time rain and stranding zones i can deliver packages all day just try hittin’ me.
I thought it was really relaxing… until it suddenly is super stressful. By the time you finish the game the stressful parts aren’t an issue anymore though.
Yeah i will admit the ooze shit got to me a lot haha. But that took it from casual relaxation to heart pounding back down to thank fuck its relaxing again
Have you played the game? While true, you can boil down the game to “you deliver packages” there’s a lot more to it. There’s planning your equipment and weight distribution, evaluating the best route and adapting when something unexpected shows up, the give and take of the social strand system, etc.
It’s for sure not a game for everyone and I don’t begrudge anyone who says they don’t enjoy it but the one liner that pretty much everyone boils it down to does a disservice when describing how much is actually involved
Yes, I played the game. I still have it installed, so I’ll try again.
Some games will hook you from the start and will not let you go until you finish them. Some will have you return even after you’ve finished because you enjoy being immersed in the world.
This one felt like too much like reality to be fun, having to do heavy labour carrying stuff while being punished by black stuff popping up randomly from nowhere…
It probably boils down to personal tastes, I’ve had this issue with some other games like Hellblade, Control, and Prey.
It’s clearly not the grinding aspect because I’ve clocked 350 hours on Skyrim.
It’s really a great ton of fun, but you have to find logistics/transportation/exploration and a little stealth fun. It’s not a “Little something for everyone” type of game. But if you like games like Snowrunner, truck simulators, or Elite Dangerous or if you just have a penchant for hiking/mountaineering, it’s the only real AAA game of its kind and you’ll like it a lot. Also while the story is somewhat nonsense, the worldbuilding and general “vibe” you get while playing it really revolted it above even it’s gameplay.
