I think I've seen enough of this jank with playing through 2 of 4 endings which in both of them you nearly do everything same. hacking SUCKS and its not OPTIONAL. reason why I thought its enough now after seeing 2 endings is getting stuck on hacking a door (to open the door obviously) that I actually succesfully hacked before (now I think about it I got lucky that time) for getting the other ending, I didnt care anymore and quit. there is hacking stat for you to level up and there are 3 different cybernetics (another mechanic for getting upgrades) you can buy about hacking power up, and what they do? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR SINGLEPLAYER CAMPAIGN ITS FOR DEFENSE AGAINST OTHER PLAYERS IN MULTIPLAYER, and worst is GAME DOESNT TELL YOU ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. as you can imagine from my ranting I bought all of them and wasted brouzouf (what the fuck is this currency name) and real time just for what? still, I cant just dump it away because even if I'm frustrated, even if it has worst hacking mini game in any game, even if its a buggy mess, even if setting and story didnt interest me much (also tries to use half assed philosophy in its writing which doesnt work), its gameplay is good and fun.

extra note: after getting a ending game forces you to start over if you dont have your windows defender closed so if you dont want to bother with that open console and type changelevel cc_noctis. endings get branched in the last main mission (mars map, its actual name is noctis labyrinth) so if you dont do this you have to play the game from start

The most powerful being on the planet is having an existential crisis and you're making it everyone's problem

A whole bunch of interesting ideas which are unconventional for the Source Engine, stuck in a game that is frustrating beyond belief.
Walking through the dream sequence every time I spawned made me want to gouge my eyes out. The sprint meter made me want to gouge my eyes out. The huge maps which would make Hunt Down the Freeman blush made me want to gouge my eyes out. Hacking made me want to gouge my eyes out. That entire final mission made me want to gouge my fucking eyes out.
