I played 2/3 of the way through the pirated version before the story demoralized me so much I just turned it off, couldn't be arsed to learn the patterns of the penn and teller boss.
Then it came out for free on Epic. I gave it another go since I was researching FPS game mechanics. This time playing the Hunter character who has the EZ-mode pet revive ability. Turning off voice and skipping every cutscene.
Its a shame because the shooting mechanics, the mantling and sliding movement is really good. The skills have a huge variety, and the gun and itemization is pretty incredible along with well crafted enemy behaviors.
If there was an "endless" roguelite mode that didn't have a story wouldn't even have minded paying for it.
Borderlands 3 took something like 9? months to crack.
I'm I'm glad I waited because that game wasn't worth the money. Basically it was only playable if you turned off all the voice and skipped every cutscene the "stronk empowerd wamen" were so insufferable.
Avalanche has a solid track record. And WB seems to keep it tight with the quality control.
Mad Max was one of the best uses of the license I've ever seen.
edit: I'm retarded, wrong Avalanche, see reply for correction.
Can we delay the boog for a couple of months? I have been seriously slacking in finishing my Area Study.
Wow the "disengage safety protocols" command actually worked.
