I'm happy for people that are stoked but it's hard to not see this as anything more than just some gooner game considering all the mods and then some, lmao.
That's what I thought, too - that it was getting all the attention because of the main character's appearance, and it didn't have much to offer beyond that. Not true. I'm about 10 hours in on the PS5 Pro version, and I'm enjoying it for reasons completely unconnected to Eve's appearance. I notice her beauty during cutscenes, but during the normal game, I'm focused on the exploration and action.
This may be a stupid question, but is the actual game good? Or rather, is it great/exceptional? Or is it pretty standard for a 3rd-person action game, just with nice visuals?
I would say it's good, not great. It has challenging combat, varied enemies, beautiful character design, and worthwhile (though limited) exploration. Music is nice, too. As far as shortcomings go, I find the environments visually dull (so far; I'm only 10 hours in), the story feels like generic SF, and the level design seems a little obscure sometimes.
Didn't play this when it came out on console. Might check it out. I don't care about the big tits and nice ass in a game, but is the gameplay any good? Challenging with depth?
Take this fwiw, because I'm not good at these type games (memorize combos, fast reflexes, precise timing), but I found the combat challenging enough that I had to dial it back to story difficulty in order to continue. That has become too easy, though, so I may ratchet it back up. There seems to be a decent amount of depth to the combat - a heap of combos and special moves, plus weapons and special ammo.
I also legit have no fucking clue what a "gooner" is. My MP game buddies keep dropping it as well and I just pretend that I'm hip and young and go loool wow so crazy guyyyzzz.
Gooner = someone addicted to sexual or sexualized content.
