The lackluster RPG elements and story are a big deal to me , but aside from that I find the combat clunky and tedious . I just never found it fun or exciting to be in combat . I ' d see a bunch of ghouls or robots on the horizon and kind of sigh . I spent a lot of the game noticing how much better MGSV , Borderlands , or DOOM would have been at what I was doing right then . Hardcore mode was good for a while , still clunky but it reduced the tedium of the combat just by making it a lot shorter . Still , by the end of the game everyone was giant bullet sponges again and I felt like every engagement was a chore . <| sep |> TIL if you act like a violent cunt , people try to get away from you . <| sep |> I read the prequel story online before playing it and I enjoyed it a lot . One of my favourite vita games .
