ive been playing it because a friend bought it and has library sharing with me
the keanu thing is even worse than i thought. i thought he'd be a one-off character who does his thing, dies, is le epic gamer wholesome 100 or whatever and then he fucks off.
spoiler
the entire story is literally about him now. i have no idea if the rest of the game is gonna be like this but he has invaded my mind and physically abuses me in my bedroom at night. im not even joking. that's what the game's story is at the point im at now.
Lol yep that's exactly where I quit. Was whining about it in the megathread last night and this morning
Playing the original deus ex now instead
spoiler
The dialogue is abysmal, he's a terrible antihero and they had his nonsensical anti-capitalist terrorist character come from a grunge band in a fucking cyberPUNK game. Noted anti-capitalist genre grunge rock, in 2023.
Also that 10 minutes of john wick sim in the interlude is some of the worst gameplay I've ever experienced in any video game I've ever played.
My take is the designers watched the press F to pay respects scene in cod and asked themselves how they could do something that banal but stretch it into an hour of gameplay.
Btw the rest of the story will be about him. The narrative arc feels pretty much lifted straight from a deus ex game and that's how they usually flow.
The le epic keanu moment got me to put it down. I had low expectations and it was worse than that
