Yeah you can justify it with weak lore links, but it’s still chintzy crap.

Well, see, cuz it’s a video game. And if the alien were stalking an NPC on another deck of the ship, you wouldn’t be having much fun playing the video game.

A) not stolen.

If you think this game has good graphics, check out Dying Light. Coming right off the DL expac, I couldn’t even play Primal because the graphics are so primitive by comparison.

not sure what country you’re livin’ in, but in the US there’s been one heck of a controversy re: violent video games in the past decade.

Ah, no, the story isn’t “great.” It’s typical video game fodder. SOMA has a great story. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter has a great story. ROTTR has a mediocre story that serves to move Lara from one majestic vista to the next.

No, it’s like Captain Planet doing literally anything else in the world in addition to recycling.

...a realistic simulation. or it’s supposed to be anyway.
