>start game
>cant pick character, randomly generated one
>18 year long tutorial (yes, really.)
>still fails to teach you the basics
>pve grind will literally replace your life, pvp is heavily centered around perception and whoever has a gun wins instantly
>tutorial finally ends, get dumped into the open world
>everything costs money or "connections," which are impossible to get without RNG luck
>try getting a "job" for ingame money
>finally get a job, grind is as worse then as i read it in guides
>bosses aren't even fun to fight, just yell at you and demand TPS reports

>finally save up enough shekels for "house"
>spend years upgrading "house" because it gives +Comfort buff
>Comfort buff doesn't do anything except make grind feel slightly less soul-crushing
>neighbors are all NPCs, some seem bugged, others aggro on you for no reason

>try romance side quests
>all NPCs either have insanely high requirements or lose interest after a few interactions
>finally complete one romance questline, but it gives a permanent +Stress debuff called "Kids"
no way to remove debuff except waiting for decades

>decide to switch focus to exploration
>discover fast travel is locked behind insane "wealth" stat or dumb luck
>most interesting areas are gated by more grind
>try pvp again
>lose instantly to someone with a "crackhead" build, can't even respawn

>realize im permanently locked into permadeath mode
>see videos on yt on endgame content, usually ends with you getting one-shotted by an rng event or ailments
>no new game plus
>want a refund
>realize you never read the EULA
>tfw the devs are just laughing at you from the skybox
