And it's not just me right? This is similar. Revising existing licensing to squeeze more money out of people who already use their back end.
Didn't they see Hasbro trying the same thing? Sure, DnD itself is doing fine, but they lost the trust of third party publishers.
This alone makes me want to look up his interviews. I only ever saw his batman and don't care about him at all otherwise.
I played this a bit a few months ago and it felt really grindy. Lots of just going back and forth getting rocks so you can get a bigger ship to get more rocks at a time. But then that's ETS/ATS, farm sim, and lots of other work sims. I'll have to check it out again to see the new stuff.
That sounds right up his alley actually.
Might have to avoid the Texas / New York loop though.
Alabama, New York
Montana, Wisconsin
Alaska, New Mexico
New Mexico, Maryland
Texas, New York
New York, Texas
Oregon, Iowa
Virgina, Minnesota
It's been a while since I've seen these but I'm never disappointed.
On a practical side I treat the reviews as "this is the worst aspect of the game, if you can overlook that you will have a good time." And it hasn't failed me yet.
Come to think of it I'm not sure I actually finished it. I know I got past the (avoiding spoilers) regular type enemies, but not to the actual end.
I loved Far Cry when it came out. I tried reinstalling it a few years later but the disk didn't work anymore.
And I just looked and found it in my steam library. I know what the next game I'm going to install and not finish is.
