This is the shit that lets it all slide. Fuck that. I know exactly what the working hours were on this game because they're documented. I don't shop at fucking Primark and I'm not going to be fucking lectured to on my own decisions about what I will and won't buy.

I'm kind of leaving flora to it as she thinks the first was her favourite game of last gen (along with Left Behind) and she keeps running hot and cold on it. She got so far as to order it then cancel it 10 minutes later. She is consuming the spoiler free ones, and she's a big Waypoint / Austin Walker et Al fan and Rob Zacny has absolutely dunked on it, so I suspect that may away her as she read it this morning.
Personally I'm not sure a month before childbirth I want to see a game depicted around the concept of "humanity is shit / fucked". So I don't mind if it doesn't grace our house. I'll read the plot at some point down the line.
