So when we finally do achieve victory, we like to feel some form of reward, some sort of sign that we just accomplished something equal to our effort. That would be nice.
Instead, I bust my butt to make scrip and cherish what I have. Course, I went into the last mission with like 6 grand, and came out with 2200. Yup, that's just lovely. I mean, I feel like I just walked through the bowels of hell and back, and when I finally come back from saving the world, I'm rewarded with, wait for it, 500 ******* pieces of scrip? 500? Equal to like 3 or 4 deaths? Like, really? Oh, wait, I got some piece of **** PISTOL that I'll never use too. At least I can sell that for like what, 600 or whatever. I mean give me a break. After going through that sort of a challenge all we get is 500 scrip and a crappy weapon? I mean, it's not even a GOLD weapon! Give me something to make me feel like I accomplished something! Instead, I feel like I gained nothing but some stupid new title I get to choose. Whoopdee do. And ok, maybe I'm being harsh, or maybe I'm just being fair, from the standpoint of the layperson. No sense of victory whatsoever. And hell, even the ending clip was far from satisfactory. No celebration, no sense of victory, just that same monotone dumbass talking all monotone and telling me hey, let's get a beer. I mean seriously? For a game this hyped, that was the best they could come up with??
I dunno, I just feel empty a bit. No good new weapon to use, no real scrip to spend (hell, to the contrary, I almost lost it all), and not even a good ending scene to give me something to rave about. To be fair, I thought the last battle was friggin awesome. It was exhilarating in ways, and a fist pumping type accomplishment to beat. But that's where the satisfaction ended for me. I mean, again, 500 scrip. That equals one lousy level 1 mod for beating the main story. That's it. Oh, and a pistol, cause, like, we all just LOVE to use pistols in games like this...
Ok, rant over. Just needed to let it out I guess. Guess I had just been expecting more. Flame away, or whatever, I'm goin to bed...
