Yeah I supposed that’s true for the most part. Btw I didn’t realize I was replying to you twice, essentially saying the same thing. Whoops!

I believe it was, yes.

“My video game literacy actually had me waiting the ENTIRE game for the other shoe to drop on Sun King Avad and reveal him to be some secret tyrant that I was legitimately shocked when he turned out to be a decent person.”

“I’ve got the opposite theory. He’s working as intended, just that someone activated him at the incorrect time.”

“it’s likely there’s missing pieces to his programming puzzle that means he isn’t working as intended.”

“RE: Hades. My bet is a bug in his code, much like how the Faro Plague began. Zero Dawn wasn’t fully complete when humans went extinct, just enough to function, and the bug was never caught because Faro murdered the Alphas.”

“By the end HZD really has one mystery left: Why did HADES go nuts? That’s the sequel hook of course, but I am glad they answered just about everything else.”

They mention at least twice that the Odyssey exploded in space.

Agreed, and they better let you kill him!

This is the impression I got as well. There’s a line of dialogue from an audio datapoint near the end of the game where Elisabet mentions something about not wanting to be around Travis as he raises a clone of himself and I was immediately like, “aww shit, that’s who sent the signal that messed up GAIA. A fucking Ted…

Where do you live currently?

LOL

Sure, I wouldn’t want to live there either. The way OP’s post was worded made it sound like there are only roaches in NYC though.

I actually agree with everything you said, but at the same time marijuana is still illegal at the federal level. Until those laws change it’s not a good idea to encourage people to commit a federal crime.

Totally agree :-)

I live in LA mate, we’ve got roaches out here too.

Haha, thanks. It feels like that’s a rarity on here a lot of the time.

I don’t see the difference. I don’t mean this as an insult, but you seem to be drawing a non-existent distinction between pre and post release. It’s marketing either way. It’s self-aggrandizing either way. It’s informative either way. The video coming out before or after the game doesn’t change any of those things,…

It’s personal preference. I’d much rather read articles about the development of the game than articles about a player pushing an NPC across the map. That stuff doesn’t interest me at all. Game development does.

That’s good, I’m glad you were able to remove yourself from that situation. I don’t think all addicts are the same though, and even though you have personal experience with this it’s still anecdotal. My hope is that the program will make a difference but even if it’s a small difference my mindset is, “what could it…
