      Express VPN is great, but people really have to stop recommending it for watching anime in Japanese Netflix. Most of the anime in JP Netflix don't have any kind of sub/dub beside Japanese language, beside Netflix own productions that are available everywhere else.

      Also, what if there was this box with random items that the player could buy?
      Now what if this “loot” wasn’t actually random, but we controlled how often it had good items.
      We could call it a “loot box” or something

      That's a thing, games like this can be called "wasted potential". Clearly some cool ideas and talented artistic approach, but it's just doesn't stitching up together with the rest parts: clunky gameplay, zero progression, problematic technical side, lousy writing. Usually because majority of developers had no experience, which is exactly what happened with Wet by Behaviour Interactive who was working on downgraded ports and less violent games.

    Man, holy shit. I've been waiting for this video...not necessarily from you (sorry Gman), but just waiting for someone to finally acknowledge that this game existed. I don't remember much about it because I played it when I was a horny teenager and had the hots for the main character, and also: the soundtrack fuggin slaps. Especially The Arkhams contributions, "Insane" and "She Lost Control", those were my JAMS for a long time...ah man, that reminds me, I need to put that OST back on my playlist.
    edit:
    oof, that's what I get for posting my comment before watching the whole video. Gman slaps back with saying the music is the worst and the main character is like Hitler....

    I loved this game. I just recently stumbled across it while I was looking for something in my bedroom and I am about to play through it again.
    For me personally it was one of those games that I knew very little about (if anything at all) when I first saw it and bought it because I saw it going cheap in the store, and after playing it I was so glad that I discovered it.
    It seems to be a lot harder nowadays to discover videogames that way and there seems to be less hidden gems and for the most part either great games or terrible games. I never took notice of official reviews or opinions of official game reviewers because there were too many times when I played and loved a game that had been officially ripped apart or vice versa.

    I bought WET cause of this. It took some getting used to but now I'm having fun. The music is great as long as I mute it in game and play the soundtrack on Spotify. The game becomes much less disjointed that way and I can enjoy full songs.

    There is an unlockable mode, where you can take three hits but every enemy dies in one. Amusingly it's the best way to play the game. It turns out if your game is going to be fast-paced mindless violence, the biggest thing holding it back was just that: slowing down the pace to pad out the runtime. I liked it back when I played it and still have it, but I remember it getting demolished at the time in the review department probably for all the reasons given here. Still, fond memories.
