Rant after finishing the game
I knew abut this game for a long time but only now decided to play it, honestly I expected much more, I remembered it as an awesome game but this is really poorly made.
I see a lot of people complaining about the nonchronological storytelling, I see no problem with it, but the combat system is disgusting, and generally moving or anything, characters constantly get stuck on random objects so I need to restart the game to get them unstuck,
choices have no real point since the game has a fixed story and nothing much changes depending on your choices,
any QTS is also just a disaster and I don't even know why Cage thought it would be a good idea for players to just guess where to move the mouse, and even when you do move it or press some keys, the game just decides to be unresponsive to some commands, it's hella inconsistent with its in game rules,
sometimes you can move Aiden like 50m and others times you can't move him 5m to reach a guard, also the Aiden mechanic is just hell, you can't decide who you can control or kill or anything and that just makes some situations seem hella dumb,
also the game forces Jodie to choose total assholes for love interests, you can either pick a dude who lied to you and didn't comfort you at all when Jodie was crying cause of the rape thing and just left or the other asshole who wanted to leave you alone in the desert to die of thirst and has no human decency towards people he doesn't know,
but I can't emphasize enough how bad the movement in this game is, had to restart like 40 times cause of the amount of times the characters got stuck, not just Jodie, but Ryan, Cole, Aiden, can't belive how it's possible for Aiden who is a fucking ghost who can go through walls, to get stuck between some invisible barriers that were put there for no reason,
also the world Jodie lives in is just stupid, you can't trust nobody and nobody has any common sense, honestly this game is like maybe a 4/10.
