Top Comments of this video!! :3
HR dev here, i did animation work for the weapons and cover mechanics. I was temporary and only worked on the game for a few months before my contract was terminated. I remember at one point one of my co workers was talking to our supervisor about the intro and some potential changes for gameplay purposes, the supervisor turned around and straight up said that would be difficult because most of the main designers of the intro had since been laid off or their contracts terminated and so couldnt be referred to for any assistance.
Just another reminder that on AAA projects, most of the staff who do the actual work are laid off as soon as their specific work is "completed" according to producers, so if any of that work needs to be changed they will need to use other people who didnât personally do any of that work which is why some parts of the game dont seem to fit with others. Well, this and following the design doc to a t.

i love that guy who either calls you attila the hun or ghandi based on whether or not you killed people in the mission because he's just mad at you no matter what you do. if you didn't go to the mission because you had the flu, you'd come in and he'd be like WELL WELL, IF IT ISN'T TYPHOID MARY. I GUESS YOUR ROBOT ARMS CAN'T ACCEPT A FLU SHOT, CAN THEY? DON'T ANSWER THAT. I DON'T WANT TO BE EXPOSED TO COVID-38

Gonna be completely honest here, Mr. Bomberguy: In my opinion, the worst part of this video was where I had to explain to my family that I couldn't hang out because I was too busy watching a three and a half hour video about how a game I've never played, and that came out a long time ago was FINE.
Otherwise, I enjoyed every second!

Another point to this whole video's credit is that I used to wonder why this game was so heavily steeped in Yellows for its color scheme while the first game was mostly dark Blues. Now, it hits me: because it's the color of the sun. It's another goddamned "Icarus" metaphor.
To verify, I looked up a developer interview where they were asked why the game is tinted yellow so much, and their answer was "Once you realize the reason for it, it's quite profound." Holy shit -- Harris was 100% right about how pretentious this shit is/

I can't believe I just watched a 4 hour long review about a game I'd never heard of, that I don't care about, that came out more than a decade ago and that I will never play...but I was fully invested, immersed and entertained. I'm not even a real gamer. I just play sims 3 and Last Day On Earth on my phone. You are one hell of a storyteller Mr Bomber.

Fun fact about the Shadowrun comparison: the Humanity stats is actually relatively new, and in the original incarnation of the game it represented the degree of control that corporations could exert over your life through their control of resources you need to live. It was changed to Prosthetics Make You Evil when the original company writing the game was bought out by a much bigger company lol

2:25:02 I feel personally attacked...
I just got off from work, listening to this video on my headphones, got home, put my keycard on the coffee table and a minute later I get to this part...

I find it very funny that the slow fall mod is called the Icarus Landing System when Icarus, quite famously, did not land safely.
