@#$%. I'm old.
And yes...starting over with the same guys, over and over, until they were Ranger Immortals was pretty awesome.
I kind of bounced off WL2 about halfway through...which is sad, considering the impact the first one had on me. Not sure if that's really WL2's fault or mine, but still...

It's getting hammered for not being as dark as they were lead to believe. I guess they are thinking of a world with no sun. Its getting hammered from people who think that Blade Runner is Cyberpunk. Sadly many film makers and illustrators after Blade Runner adopted its Film Noir, 1940s-ArtDeco-Look for cyberpunk settings.
Nobody has read any cyberpunk novels, but everyone knows that it has to be "dark".
*sigh*
Eh, I think it looks good, but I can see the "no sun" argument.
The setting for CP2020 was Night City, and was described as raining all the time, the sun never shines, the last bird died in 2008, and you lived on soy kibble...at least as long as you lived, which wasn't very in a violent, uncaring world where the only Gods were Corporations.
So, yeah, it should be pretty bloody dark.

Eh, I was able to get many hours of enjoyment without any Season Pass or microtransactions. More free content is always good, I'm not going to complain about that.
Sure, the monetization crap is out of control, but I haven't actually noticed it much not having spent anything beyond the basic game.
Where they dropped the ball on game design was the damn Tier One system. Not only is it stupid in concept (there are "Tier One" teams but no Tier 2 - 50...it's just an idiom) but is also the epitome of lazy-ass difficulty design. Making the game more difficult by allowing the AI to blatantly cheat isn't fun, and we've known that since the 80s.

I would be really really surprised if that was $60K of their own money...
...and not sure if I'd be more or less disappointed in humanity.

Huh. Not the conversation I would have expected.
I figured I was the only one around here who left this on their hard drive for the occasional visit.
Haven't played in a long time, but can't bring myself to uninstall. Might pop in for these events...

I had a strange relationship with this game.
I liked the concept and rather liked elements of it, but the characters were so unlikable that by the end, the sociopath (Jordi) was the only one I gave a damn about.
At least he was HONEST about who he was.
And the driving mechanics were absolute pants.
Overall, I'm glad I played it -- but it missed the mark by inches over and over. So close to being epic, ended up merely okay.

I've heard this is basically a re-release of Spintires, so yeah - you do missions, the missions are generally hauling logs.
In Spintires, you'd start with a couple of smaller vehicles and have to explore and recover additional vehicles. The complexity comes from finding passable routes and conserving fuel to make it around the map.
Generally, you get stuck and have to send other vehicles in to rescue those...the map is a massive mud simulation and the more you stomp around the harder it gets to keep moving through the same routes.
I found Spintires to be inexplicably fun and zen-like, and got many hours of enjoyment out of it...but I'd caveat that endorsement with the statement that this is a very niche game. It's about being slow and deliberate and having things go wrong, then trying to fix them...it's not about racing around at high speed.
If the idea of pulling some massive Russian re-purposed artillery carriage out of a giant mudhole that it buried itself in after tumbling down the side of a volcano doesn't sound fun, then this probably isn't for you.

Complaining about free new content during early alpha is kind of silly.
Yeah, they have a lot to fix. One of those things was lack of content.
I try not to buy into Early Access, but I did for this because...well, Conan...I agree they've got a ton of work to do, but that's early Early Access for you.
Some of my favorite games are shelved, like this one, for what I'm assuming will be years, until they're really ready to play.
I just now started The Long Dark after picking up on sale I forget how long ago. Never even installed it, just wanted to support it because I liked where it was going. That's kind of what EA really is.
Taking something that is essentially a late alpha build and expecting it to be feature-complete is ridiculous. It's a shame that's what's normal, these days.
I grok that you're saying work on core game before more content, but that's likely not the same people. And it needs content, for sure.

"Cole Black"??
Jeezuz.
Someone got PAID for that name.
Like, there was probably a list of names, and there was a meeting where people agreed that was the BEST of the names on the list...

Well, dude, you don't hear a lot of people going "Awww, crap! Annanias Mathe died!"
Of course we focus on the ones that were famous and well-liked.

How soon until you have another freak out and get banned again?
Shall we start an ass captain pool?
Currently at post 102. Definitely will flameout before 502.
We may be in for a long winter, his post count history is:
space captain 7699 posts before banned
space admiral 32 posts before banned
harlock 2999 posts before banned
rudra 290 posts before banned
That brings us to a average of 2,755. Yep, could be a looooooong winter 
Wait wait wait...
Harlock was SPACE CAPTAIN?
I hadn't been paying attention. This is like a Tyler Durden moment.
