This game was so awful it inspired me to finally register a user account and post on the forums.
Trying to decide what was more painful:
1) That even when my car was broken, uninsured, unregistered, and behind on payments, AND I lived 0 miles from work, I still couldn't get rid of the stupid thing...even though it is ALREADY USELESS and providing no benefit whatsoever.
2) The grocery selection leaving off things like: Beans not from a can (healthier and 1/10th the cost), oatmeal, rice, etc. You know, items you can buy in bulk for incredibly cheap -- all of which require nothing more than hot water and 2 active neurons in your brain to prepare.
3) After 2 weeks the strain of my warehouse job is already killing me (I didn't realize I was a frail little patsy or I would have chosen another job).
4) My emergency root canal would have cost $400, but by delaying it and, presumably, scheduling it in advance, I would have to pay over $500 to "make it go away."
5) The repeated withholding of essential information (oh, I'm renting without a contract? I have $8k in credit card debt? Health care subsidies exist? There is a school field trip coming up that I should plan for?) including better alternatives (I can ditch the car? I can tell my landlord to blow it out his ass? I can get TWO jobs????)
This isn't a poverty simulator, it's training for wannabe victims.
