Hello everyone at r/pcgaming. This was the giveaway that I wanted to do when my wife gave birth but alas my son came out a bit early and I already had it pre-ordered but no Steam key until today. Since I already played this great game before on my PS5 I’ll be giving it away to one lucky person here at r/pcgaming!
To enter, comment below and I’ll randomly choose a winner in 24 hours.
Good luck to everyone and have a great day :)
Edit: To answer some common questions in this thread:
Q: Is the baby and mother alright?
A: Yes, they’re doing well we’re just trying to get some sleep. He tends to get up every 2-3 hours for milk and he poops like a madman lol
Q: Is this your first child?
A: No this is my second child. My daughter is 2 years old.
Q: Did you name the baby Peter?
A: I did not haha his name is Reyan
I played this game for over a hundred hours in the beta. I have never before played a gacha game and the things I experienced frightened me.
You could see every single design decision made for the game being done with loot boxes in mind.
Every thing, down to exploration of the world is built around loot boxes. You don’t explore for any reason other than to obtain loot boxes. How rewarding your exploration and participation in the game’s activities is all dependent on your luck with the loot boxes. For there is no reward from the exploration itself, other than yet another Breath of the Wild-esque cell shaded landscape (which I have a soft spot for I will admit). For me, this invalidates any joy I might get from the exploration itself, and it saddens and terrifies me to see a game designed this way.
Gear progression is thrown to the wayside with the discovery that these things can be bound to loot boxes, and weapon unlocks are at the whim of RNG.
Yet I see the socials …
