I’m pretty mixed on REMAKE in general, but Wall Market is the standout section of the game.? It’s probably the one area I could say is better here than in the original.?? Read more

My wife and I loved what they did with this bit. It’s basically as if the creators knew they couldn’t do what they did before but knew they could still have a lot of fun with it without it being at the expense of a specific group of people.

This really helps to read.? I am playing solo, and the starting area is killing me.? Crappy pistols, shotguns, and SMGs are all I’ve found.? I’ve played the game twice now, and have not been looking forward to going back, but it sounds like I’m close to things changing. Read more

Please keep me in your thoughts during this difficult?time, everybody.

The same you can do when anyone is having trouble: let them know they are appreciated and valued. That sounds like it’s a touchy-feely bullshit answer but it really does matter. (I know, I know. You didn’t say personal but I want to stress it.)

On a practical level: if you are aware of a threat or something, inform the… Read more
