![]() ![]() A regular sized rat with the "mutant" descriptor. is not a bad one, but the problem is that the post apocalyptic landscape is just so loving boring. The base idea that you are wandering through a post-apocalyptic wasteland unraveling a giant conspiracy to do, uh. I think it's fair to say that one of the things this game really suffers from is a failure of imagination. I escape from a later encounter of rats and wasps, which are enemies so weak a starting character can kill them with a loving brick. The ATOM developers are on record as wanting a dangerous seeming world, but very few of these encounters are actually dangerous! These giant spiders look intimidating, but they die to a single application of Cossack Steel. Unfortunately for us, every single random encounter is determined to waste our time. We're off to Red Fighter to see our cool new house, because, hey, this makes us the post-apocalyptic 1%. We're still outside the video store after the postman revealed he was part of an evil conspiracy that wanted to shut down Redlettermedia Pizzagate to run their own evil conspiracy. Unfortunately, we still have a lot of this garbage game to get through (and under no circumstances am I going to do all of it), so buckle up and let's plow through it. I'm gonna be honest, I'm kind of done being fair after that poo poo. Last time on ATOM, we hit a new low for these authors. ![]() There was also something similar in the Yiik LP, as I recall? Even if it was meant well, it was horrible and tasteless, and more than the tedious grind heavy gameplay where most combat encounters were "guess what the devs were thinking and have a team tailor-made to counter all the BS in this one fight" or grimdark edgelord writing is what soured me on the game.Īnd it memorialized the dead by having that character's avatar commit suicide in game. ![]() This quest reminds me of the bits from the Pokemon Reborn LP where we found out several plot elements were basically the author airing out forums drama between real-life people, one or two of whom had passed away since the events, and calling it an "homage". ![]()
