Eating ham you found on the side of the road does not increase health the way you might expect. I also have never found a save point. Damnit.

Pfft another game with "ultrarealistic graphics". Boring!

The combat system is also terrible, it's a grindfest just to get killed in one shot by a random mugger with a gun, they should learn from Final Fantasy VII.

Ugh people keep saying how good this game is, but it is soooo expensive for a game like this and the restrictions for the FTP version are just insane! It's like the developers WANT you to pay the fees if you want to have fun playing. of course you HAVE to buy more gametime with in game currency which can be a pain in the ass to get. i heard talk of a code or hack to make it easier but none of the solutions worked for me. im gonna play something else instead, especially because other players are usually just awful.

This game really needs relationship indicators.

why cant I pause and press select to start a level over?

I've played this game many times before and beat it.

Now that I play it again, I'm f*cking up.

Most people just wander through without ever figuring out how the mechanics work, but they seem to do better than I do. I get so tired, but you just can't get a break. It's one of those crazy sci-fi games where you die if you stop playing.

How exactly does main quest have no loading, but the video games and Internet minigames do?
One thing I also don't like is that you can't customize your avatar's looks without tons of gold, food (or letting your hunger meter fill), or grinding in the gym.
There are a few things I like though. There is suprisingly little lag for a game with seven billion players on one server. The physics engine is perfect. Every single object in the game can be broken. The NPC's also vary greatly, as no character models are reused.
Insert clever quote here.
