I was recently gifted this game a couple of days ago. It's very fun and entertaining w/ friends and I was very happy with my experience. On the 17th of September, Rockstar added "Battleeye anti-cheat" to fix the games serious cheater problem, which plagued public lobbies. While I do certainly believe that an anti-cheat was necessary, I can no longer in good faith recommend the game, nor play it myself.

The main problem stems from the fact that Battleeye has "kernel-level access". I only found out about what kernel level means so I don't think I can explain it well, so look it up yourself. But from how I understand it, kernel level anti-cheats can run 24/7 on your computer to find malware and cheating software with unrestricted access to your computer (borderline spyware)

It seems there is a review bomb going on right now because of this anti-cheat's implimentation (also because Rockstar failed to set up Battleeye to run on linux) so I'm hoping this movement will encourage them to switch to another anti-cheat that is just as effective (if not moreso) without being such a risk to users.

Also you look great today :)

*UPDATE*

I did briefly come back to GTA Online to check performance yesterday, although for myself the game ran perfectly fine, all of my friends were experiencing semi-regular crashing (I did not host the private lobby)

This was amazing. Very moving story. Everyone of the characters felt real (some more than others - you know who I'm talking about). I felt myself relating to each one, and I'm sure you can too. The psychological horror elements take time to kick in, but damn are they effective at getting under your skin (in a good way). It's both incredibly dark and incredibly sweet.

My only complaint is with the ending: SPOILER FREE = wish it ended slightly differently

I would have preferred if after deleting Monika either the game ended there, or would end without the reveal that Sayori now understands like Monika did. Having one final twist is usually good horror writing, but I felt it defeated *some of the bittersweet feel the ending had. Though it does give Monika a nice character redemption, which sort of counter-balances that

Also has some good writing tips :D

Every puzzle is a good challenge, but the main draw of this imo are the 2 boss fights at the end of the main game and the free dlc. Great music, cute art, I recommend

also Beelzebub best girl fr fr

Fun game, though a bit of a learning curve for new players - but, it's one of the best/funnest FPS games on the market. Also funny ragdolls
