Dealer's Life

gidiyorum bütün paramla mitsel bir ürün alıyorum ve ertesi gününde çalınmış oluyor??? heves kırıcı

I want to address something before I begin. Despite being a recommended review, this will not be positive. To explain why, it is simply that I am looking at it from the perspective of someone that 100% completed the game. The recommendation is for people that DO NOT want to do that. This game is very fun if you don't want completion. If you DO want completion, this game goes from good to absolutely AWFUL and you should stay far away. I have to focus on just the issues, so I'm sorry if things don't make sense.

The faction system is never explained, and punishes the player constantly for not know about it. To side with the police, you need to do one guaranteed random event in the right way to make future events more likely, and you need to have the best reputation possible. If you do, there are a couple of events that can block the mafia from interacting with you. Sound good? Well, one of those two events leads to another that removes protection, and the other one will be more or less forcefully removed if you dip in reputation. This means that you cannot deal in fakes, meaning forgers are completely off the table, unless you want to wait and have the police officer come and claim your fake for almost none of its actual value. This means that you have effectively locked yourself out of an entire system if you don't want the game to punish you.
The Mafia is even worse. There's a barrier of entry to this one that I saved to talk about until now. You need to be at Criminal reputation. Do this early game and you are completely screwed, because criminal reputation prompts events like Agents showing up to your shop, accusing you of having fakes, and then they either take EVERY. SINGLE. SOLITARY. ITEM. You have, or they give a massive fine that's game ending until you get a foot-hold. This means that you can't even start this story until mid game at LEAST. Top that off with the fact that the mafia upsides SUCK

Let's talk about Mafia Guy, and his money begging. You can say no to him. But if you do, you upset Don Vito. He shows up, and demands money. You can tell him no if you have the right stats, which isn't hard because this'll be late-early to early-mid game, but then he'll steal one item from you at random. Later, Mafia Guy returns. Deny. Don Vito returns. He steals 2 items this time. Mafia guy returns. Deny. This time, an agent will come in asking you to testify against Don Vito. Obviously, you agree, he's really annoying. Great. He's in prison. Now you have set your run up for the worst random even there is. It might not happen if you're going for the shortest ending, or even the money ending, but if you're going for the time ending, as far as I can tell, it WILL happen. Eventually, Don Vito shows up again. Now there are two ways this can go. If you paid the repairman, then you can finally have the policeman make good on his word to come running if you yell for him, and Don Vito just steals your best item. But if you didn't do that, if you aren't in the Policeman's good graces, Don takes over $100,000 AND EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE YOU HAVE. This event is supposed to be super rare, on the playthrough where I was trying to get it, it took till week 130 day 4. But on the playthrough where I went for the Lawyer achievement? Week 41. I lost nearly everything with NO recourse just because I played the game in a way that is evidently considered wrong. If that had been my first playthrough, I probably would have lost through NO FAULT OF MY OWN. Sending Don to jail is an insanely easy thing to do, I'd bet most players do that if they aren't lucky enough to get one of the anti-mafia events before then. That is a crime against game design, it feels almost spiteful to the player.

The developers of this game do not respect your time even a little bit. It's time I talk about my issues with the endings. Let's get one thing out of the way. I have no issue with the maximum fame ending. You can achieve it by week 80 even on a really bad run. My first ever win on this game was the ending known as "End of the World". This affront to game design asks that you make it to week 157 day 4. Doesn't sound too bad? It took over twenty GOD DAMN HOURS. And that wouldn't be so bad... If I were playing the damn game! But I was actively discouraged from doing that because earning too much money would give me a different ending! For 70 god damned weeks I had NOTHING TO DO. I had enough money that even with the most expensive shop and staff, I would never get CLOSE to going bankrupt. I'm not kidding. It was hours on hours clicking buttons hundreds of times just to get a few weeks further, with 0 hardship. It was the most soul draining, BORING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD! I hated it, so much, but I couldn't stop, each day in game I got a bit closer, just a bit. If I estimate each day took only one minute, which it didn't, that would still be well over 8 ENTIRE HOURS OF NOTHING. I genuinely think this ending existing makes this a bad game. Straight up. And there's another that keeps on theme with the devs not respecting your time. "I'm going to be President". Make 500,000,000 dollars. And I don't mean in total gross income, that would be to easy, right? That's obviously a joke, you don't even need to make one FIFTH of that to WIN THE GAME. But no, you have to have it on hand. So in effect, it's more like "Make 1,000,000,000". I'm not exaggerating. I was very close to a BILLION IN TOTAL GROSS INCOME BY TIME I GOT THIS ENDING. This ending makes me almost as mad as the other one, because remember how I said that like, very few good items enter your door, and many MANY worthless ones do? Now factor in that you don't even get all of the items you want, let alone make a good profit, and you have an awful grind that is 100% tedium, and you have another affront to game design! I used to love this game, but now... I can't forgive these endings.

Closing thoughts:
Wow... I had a LOT to say here, I've been writing well over an hour and a half. but to put into perspective why... I would have given this game an 8/10 genuinely before I came back to complete it.... Now, if you don't count completionist... to me it's down to a 4/10, and that doesn't feel good. This game meant a lot to me, but now... with this behind me.... it's like a 1/10. And I hate that... But I don't want others to go through this. This game can look and feel good... It can make good memories... but I look at games as a whole, I try to complete every game I play, and usually, even if I got really mad, I feel proud at the end... I can even gain new appreciation for them, but here? I'm just relieved I never have to do that again. If anything is confusing, it's cause I had to gut the review to post it. Tell me if you're interested in seeing the extended version.

u understand what is life when ur shop is white house and someone coming used diaper and has no passion

5 bucks.

The game presents an interesting idea but falls a bit short in execution. If you like watching that Pawn Stars show for hours and hours as part of a marathon you might like this. Progression feels super super slow and gameplay is so monotonous that it gets incredibly boring after a while. Maybe worth it on a sale but just not for me.

The best pawn shop simulator all of the time 10/10
