I like call this game my problem child. I discovered it at a very difficult time in my life and its messy, in-your-face narrative and loud, flamboyant gameplay were exactly what I needed. By no means would I call this game a masterpiece. It contradicts its own themes multiple times and there are certain unnecessary plot points that continue to piss me off even 5 years after first playing it, but I'll be damned if it's not entertaining as hell, which for a game that easily clears 100 hours of playtime, is kind of necessary.
