The spongebob game wasnt so bad. It had like a login bonus but it didnt seem to be too bad But once we got into the lego star wars game the f2p bullshit started. And oh god. This game clearly designed for kids had all the f2p bullshit. Login bonuses. Gridnyness. Multiple in game currencies. The daily/weekly ect missions. The unlockables

But god the racing game was even worse. 100000 things to unlock and basically nothing is by default basically. Sooooooooooo absurdly grindy. And most harrowing of all… i swear to god… 5 seperate in game currencies.

I want to reach out and scream to him “games werent always like this maaaaan”

I wasn’t old enough to get into Marathon when it was new, but picked up on a lot of it through references from being a Halo nerd since that series started. I should give it a look sometime but I always got the impression it was “Doom, but with a ton of lore for nerds” and that might be unfair but also might make me like it more

So much of Marathon is in text logs and completely optional/skippable, except that at one point you’re caught in an endless loop without an ending if you don’t pick up those text logs and figure out how to escape the cycle.

Here, this’ll explain some of it. Eventually.
