yeah because it's not just something mentioned in passing
she phones you in your quarters explicitly to tell you about this snizz she licked like three years ago. and you can't even skip the dialogue in this game (more agenda-based design decisions)
it's just kind of irritating that this is what the average game is in the current year + 11

The big problem was that the writing. You can't have both a "muh workers' rights" storyline and some hilariously over-the-top corporation that literally owns your sorry ass.

I ended up having to mute the game and alt tab every time it started playing one of those voice logs. I've never done that for a game before or since but everyone apart from the redneck team leader guy was just completely insufferable. Couldn't stand it.

Hope everyone that wrote the story gets hit by a car

pic related was listed as producer of the game
the noticing will continue

needs a mod to fully replace or remove the story
I have never seen a game where the enjoyment of good gameplay is just utterly nullified by such a pretentious, preachy spew of lecturing and leftist dogma as this game was.
This game definitely feels like it got taken over and vandalized partway through development

Considering it was an N-Degrees of Freedom movement tech demo I'd say you still came out on top. Music is worth it.

Then you stopped playing when it was still good. Now, gameplay segments are all broken up by spending time in your cabin, during which there are multiple cutscenes where you listen to your co-workers talk at you over the radio about communism and workers rights, and how much they want to fight back against the company. These all last upwards of ten minutes, during which you aren't allowed to move from right in front of your desk, and they cannot be skipped.
Seriously, one cutscene lasted nearly twenty minutes, but for some reason just standing inside the cabin makes the game stutter like crazy, so being there for so long made the fucking game crash before the cutscene was done, forcing me to listen to the entire fucking thing again.

I played it before they added any story shit and it was fun. Haven't revisited it. Probably never will.

You're not missing much. Part of why the game sucks is that they shifted the focus to being mostly story driven and as a result, the gameplay suffers big time. There's only 4 different ships (and one of those, the gecko, is basically just a bigger version of the mackeral) and then each of those 4 ships have a few variations so the game gets old fast. Also you're constantly stuck listening to the characters bitch and moan about how hard life is in unskippable dialogue between shifts.

>>737091345
is the story bad or is it just standard, corpo bad rebellion good but people hate it because of the way it interrupts the game because the writer kept shitting his pants in rage at the mere idea someone might not skip their story?
This is a genuine question i stopped playing the game halfway because i keep pirating shit like a tard

It's hamfisted pro-union glorification with a mustache twirling bad guy. It's melodramatic as fuck.

A union that accomplishes all of jackshit and the evil corporation suffers no consequences. This is all presented as a good thing.

It is comically shit.
