  • I didn’t hate it, but nothing hooked me after I put in about 10 hours and I just ended up forgetting about it. It wasn’t particularly challenging but it was a huge time sink for the amount of progress I made. The social features detracted from the immersion.

    I like the idea of meticulously planning for a trek in a highly atmospheric, apocalyptic, and dangerous wilderness, and having to make difficult decisions about gear/loot that weight limits impose, but I feel the STALKER games do this much better.

    Eh, it’s just fundamentally ugly to me and that really turned me off. Rounding doesn’t help, that’s like turning the lights off for sex to make it better. I still know the ugliness exists, even if I don’t see it.

    Engineering is still very cool to me, and I have huge respect for those who do it, but I’d never have made it. It’s physics but even further perverted by reality. Math was beautiful to me because of how “pure” it was. Just straight logic, divorced from the messy world we live in. Tidy coefficients and elegant derivations.
