Yeah I felt the same way. I kept playing because of the hype around it, but quit after 8 hours or so.

this game was so fucking depressing and bleak and full of downer characters and sub stories i stopped playing after 4 hours.
drama can be good. hardships make adventures exciting. but when the entire world is a hardship, I’d rather play something with more realistic variety.

Maybe you should have kept on playing and you’d have noticed that the game is also funny as fuck…

Hey, it’s cool if you didn’t like it. I just think there’s tons of hilarious things going on. The whole setting appears very bleak and surreal, but there’s some really funny things in the game. I think it’s a good balance to be honest.
4 hours really doesn’t get you far. You don’t even get a feeling for the world in that little time. But you’ve watched YouTube videos on the game, so I guess it’s just not for you.
I grew up with British humor, so it’s kind of weird to hear that dark humor isn’t mainstream, lol.
