In the 1930s, average rent was $18 a month. At $0.25/hour, you could pay rent in 72 hours of work. Today, to pay $1000 rent at the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour, you gotta work 138 hours.
Marathon had no vision. Its world is just more boring FPS slop. Why would these "cybernetic shells" be ugly on and ugly, lifeless, boring world? I made this update in 2 prompts to get something MILES BETTER while keeping their geometry. (lol even the arrows from the scroll)
They could have put them in a proper grungy Cyberpunk-like underbelly where they were looking for loot and fighting each other and security droids because "looting the old city is illegal."
Hell, they could have had a map topside where you're running through a nightclub, hospital, roadways, homes, etc.
They were too afraid.
Instead they put you on grass with no enemies around except at POI which are scattered. Outpost comes the closest but it's still a HUGE WHIFF of a map. Largely to blame is the basic bitch style they went with in the entire game.
