pacific drive
it's not that it's BAD, it's just ... really and truly not what I thought it was going to be. I want to get in my car and survive in the zone! I don't want surly NPCs chirping at me every moment. I don't want to complete 5/5 tasks for my quest log. I don't want to be told to craft a pneumatic hammer in order to proceed. I want systems, not scripts. maybe that gets there, eventually, but the early going is so so so so stuffed "do this. now do this. Now do this! now do THIS" that I just have no curiosity or drive to see what's next.
the best part of my time with this game was when I turned off the car, got out, and it started rolling backwards down the hill, because I hadn't put the parking brake on. that's systems, baby!!
