like oh wow ur game about exploring an untouched world where the punchline of every "joke" is that you're being exploited by an unfeeling corporation? man that's so unique that nobody who read that sentence realized I was talking about Journey To The Savage Planet because there's so fucking many of them
You know what I want? Universal jail time for all gamers
But if I'm not gonna get that, I want games that take place in a world we'd want to live in where the objective is to help it remain as such.
If someone pitched to me a GTA game set in a horrible word not worth living in the way they all are, I wouldn't care what city it's set in. It's been done. If someone said, "hey we're gonna make a GTA game except it's set in a nearly post-capitalism world and your objective is to try to protect your city from incursion by the forces of reaction" I'd buy that shit up so fast.
TLDR; why doesn't an inherently reactionary industry just pander to me? :/
OH SHIT that reminded me, that game wasnt up on torrent sites when I read Jim Sterling's review but I haven't checked since. Aaaand... there it is! Thanks for the reminder conrad
The only downside to torrenting it is that the game has online features where you can check out other people's sick ass paradises and they can check out yours.
But otherwise if you just want to play the story you should be good to go.
two thoughts thus far; 1) holy fuck is this a slow start, i am reminded of why I stopped playing pokemon games -- if you already know what the game is & how to play it (come on its minecraft) having to hold space to skip dialogue for hours just to get to the actual game is agonizing. 2) if u play as the female character, equip a giant stack of kelp and then hold the eat button it sounds like she's getting throated
Along with being a builder game, it's also a Dragon Quest JRPG game, so yes the story has a lot of dialogue.
I think the throating thing might be your imagination tho. Why only the female voice actress? :panting:
