How did this game become a cult classic, again? I remember the pre-release hype train for it claiming it was going to be a MGS killer, then when it came out it sucked dick and died with little fanfare. Now, in the last few years, I keep seeing it talked about like it was this awesome, innovative thing. Like what? This was the first game I ever refunded on Steam. Which in 2010, wasn't that easy to do.
Main thing that impressed me from watching a roommate play and reading up stuff later was just how much your choices could affect the story and characters in comparison to other games. Otherwise yeah, pretty janky experience but gets credit for trying something different.
