Yeah, ok Sam's voice acting and journals are well done but the story told in game is just kinda lol worthy to me. You basically ~~come home from Paris to find your sister likes girls now and your mom's cheating on your dad.~~ How is this even a story? --- PSN ID - N1NJAREB0RN <cite>weAREtheB0RG posted [p:889514961] in Just playe...

Yeah, but I'd be PISSED if I beat it in 5 minutes and saw thats all there was to it. I got it with PS+, so I don't care but if I had paid for it and seen just how little content there actually is in it, I would be upset. And again, I generally don't complain about content, and am currently having a blast with GT:S. At the very least they could have made 3 alternate playthroughs. One for Sam's story, and one with journals from her mom and one from her dad, voice acted. --- PSN ID - N1NJAREB0RN <cite>weAREtheB0RG posted [p:889515207] in Just playe...
