Saw this article today and I'm blown away by the sheer shortsightedness from the woman mentioned in the article. She says many of her friends are doing the same as they'd rather pay for holidays and have more spare cash.
Opting out of any private pension has got to be the most dumb decision any young worker can make. You've got so much time for that pension to grow.
I owned a PS2 as kid and always wanted to play this game on the Xbox and being jel of all the screen shots in magazines. I bought it on steam back in 2009 but I never got on with it. Replaying it now on the OG and loving it!
It's a toss between Half Life and Bioshock (without a skill tree). The third person camera for traversal/platforming is really different way of doing FPS's, so instead of just sliding up a ladder you see Riddick climb. The biggest thing is the lack of UI, this game must have been really cinematic for its time. Also I genuinely thought the game was built on IDtech4 (Doom3) but it's actually an in house studio engine but it genuinely rivals Doom 3 for lighting and shadows. Oh and the reload animations are 👌.
Apparently the studio did have plans for a PS2 build but the budget and time constraints meant they did Xbox only and PC. I honestly can't imagine how bad a PS2 version would have been if it had been down ported.
