Lmao if you dont want to bother to find out, the game isnt gonna spell it out for you. Plenty of lore videos.
HurtDurrr there's no cutscenes so theres no story hurrdurr
HurtDurrr I'm so cool I like the usual FROM cryptic bullshit for teh cool kiddies !
Remember boys, the FROM drip fed "lore" via items descriptions which was always due to budget/monetary restraints (much like the characters that speak without any mouth animations whatsoever) and is a relic from the KF games is apparently all the rage nowadays !
Sorry but FROM must be laughing all the way to the bank - they were lucky enough as to find this very specific niche in which they can hide their laziness and budget restraints even though they've been swimming in money after DES and the Bamco thing (publishing)...
Their game have been doing the same thing for aeons, this bullshit has been going on since the KF and AC days on the PSX/PS2, assets reuse upon asset reuse, recycling ahoy, cryptic lore (bUT iTs on PuRPosE !), characters that speak with closed mouths (LMAO), no cutscenes in sight after the initial intro (animating things is too hard !) and so on so forth...and yet, people are still defending this bullshit for some weird reason.
Fuck, I love FROM but Goddamn if their fanbase isn't one of the most obnoxious, pretentious ones in all gamedom, the circle jerk is just too stronK.
