Jupiter hell demo1/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Somehow, when I won, I still managed to do this wrong and lost 4 legendaries in the process. If you survive the whole encounter, which I have done one time, you can keep everything you acquired. You can go around to these stations in the map (which is large, but in true battle royale fashion, is ever-shrinking) and basically teleport loot out of the map for safe keeping. This makes every piece of gear matter again, whereas before, I wouldn't even read the text on anything that wasn't legendary because I knew I was just going to sell it. You start with nothing, and your character can't use any abilities. This is basically the battle royale I've always wanted, which is one with no multiplayer. The solution was picking up the season 2 pass, which adds a mode called Arms Race. Had the itch to play some more Borderlands 3, but my character is max level and completely loaded with legendary gear. I’m not 100% sure it is going to hold my interest- I think some of it is needlessly opaque and it is like all dialogue.but it is also pretty experimental and innovative. And wound up with a totally unanticipated outcome. The whole dynamic Of the conversation shifts like 4 times. Last night I had this dialogue with these two kids that may be one of the most intricately written exchanges I’ve seen in a video game. There are tons of skills but they are nothing like what you might expect. You have something like 24 internal voices that speak to you and may or may not influence your decisions. Since the character has amnesia, it really seems to be about making this character through play. It’s tons of dialogue, and the choices you get are RP choices that are shaping a character. In fact, I think it may be absolutely groundbreaking in how it introduces something that feels very much like real RP to a video game. Imagine Planescape Torment with no combat, all RP. I played some more of it and it is really interesting- I’m about 3-4 hours in and it is probably not at all what you would expect. ![]()
