Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)?
Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 1 day agoIt has great style! I love how much the leaned into the found footage/internet video aesthetic, as well as how they decided to go for a more naturalistic approach in regards to game ambiance (environmental sounds, diegetic music etc). It’s such a unique experience in video games, especially bigger published ones.

Yes! Plus there is the ::: spoiler Spoiler naked run ::: level where we squealed our way through it. A hot take to: the online was fun and under appreciated from what I remember.

They really went all in with setpieces that felt like a serious crime drama. I never got to experience the multiplayer (co-op or otherwise) but what I’ve seen looked cool. I wonder if they’re people playing it these days.

I remember even back then that the amount of people playing was the issue. It had this “fragile alliance” mode where you all would do a heist, collecting money as you went. The players with the most money “won” by the end. You could turn on your allies and try to take theirs and get to the getaway, but you could also not and then split everything 50/50 from all who make it to the getaway. Pretty sure you could even bribe the driver/pilot with a 50/50 offer to leave early and abandon everyone else. Or something like that. It was a lot of fun and certainly unique in its time. I actually got inspired and just found a video. Good times.

My favorite mechanic of the online mode was that if you betrayed everyone, you were marked as a traitor for the next match you played. Teammates were always sus of one another regardless lol
