    The base game is fine. Once. Its just fine. Once.

    When you beat the game and go thru The Unity to a whole ass different dimension and not one single detail is different in any way. That’s what kills the drive to go onward. Because the game was fine. Once.

    The whole story is predicated on a multiverse that effectively doesn’t exist. Except on 1 sidequest for Barrett.

      Reading your comment, I’ve just learned more about the story that nearly 250 hrs of gameplay got me. So the end is hokey, huh? Big surprise. I hate Sarah.

        You want a fan fucking tastic game that you can put 250 hours in and never regret a minute of it?

        The Yakuza franchise. Start wirh Yakuza 0. Play them all. You will laugh. You will cry. You will get so irrationally angry at pixels you’ll want to actually murder them. You’ll fall in love. And cry some more. Your heart will break many times. And nothing will ever be the same.

        Ever had a game or movie or book leave you in stunned silence? You spend the next week thinking about it? That’s the Yakuza franchise. It’s silly and stupid and hilarious and it’ll tear your damn heart out when you least expect it.

          My friend, your heartfelt recommendation is appreciated and will be ignored because I’m not into Asian mystique.

          For my part, I I recommend that you revisit the DOOM series. Of course you want a modern zdoom egine to play the eatly ones. Do not overlook Sigil and the other John Romero wads, which are legit extensions to the story. Proceed to DOOM 3 and discover BFG Edition, which includes an entirely new campaign called The Lost Patrol. After that play DOOM 2016. Stop there. There has never been a better video game made since. You can give up gaming now.
