So the defacto way for a new Dirty Bomb player to start is to drop $60 on the bundle. You can argue whatever, but that is without a doubt going to be the new baseline. Like the game? Get the bundle.
That puts Dirty Bomb into the same pool as actual, full fat, triple A games on day of release. Horizon: Zero Dawn, Final Fantasy XV, Total War: Warhammer II, etc. Game of the year quality stuff. Think on that for a second. The difference in quality, scope; it’s an almost absurd comparison.
Now notice I didn’t mention some of the more obvious comparisons. Star Wars: Battlefront 2, Destiny 2.
See, cause Dirty Bomb still has immense amounts of RNG. If you buy the bundle, you’re paying for a full price triple A game with lootboxes. Kinda like those two games, you know, the games almost everybody hates.
Except have you seen those games? With their fucking eye-searingly gorgeous pixels? Put all the controversy aside for a second, have you seen those games? If you want to viscerally experience Star Wars, to sensorially submerge yourself into that universe, Battlefront 2 is the way to go. Destiny 2… that game is a hot mess. Let’s not talk about Destiny 2.
Compare that to this weird Aimee thing we got that looks sorta like… Eminem… I guess? If you crossed your eyes? And then if he were crossed with some sorta newt maybe? Like she’s kinda… all smooth… with a very odd head shape and kinda… damp looking…
Look, what I’m trying to say here is that she’s pretty ugly.
Anyway.
Why would you do that to yourself?
If somebody where to ask me how to spend their $60, I would either have to utterly loathe them or be insane to recommend Dirty Bomb over this.
