Anyone really dislike Oppy?

[Syntaxis]

Not trashing the game, I actually love it and the characters. More just making my opinion known. Not that she's a badly written character, she's just really mean lmao. Again she isn't badly written especially now that I'm learning more about her. But seriously, cutting off Tobias and Francis when I am 1000x more interested at what htey have to say about the zone than her belittling me. Some may find it funny, but I find it really annoying and I'd have told her to shove it by now lmao. Am I crazy or just an ass?

[Thorstorm]

You're not, she's annoying, we don't know where she is so I would have cut that radio real quick lol

[magicscreenman]

I get the impression that this is precisely how the writers want us to feel about this character. I don't trust her and am personally expecting her to be the "final boss" in some capacity.

[JONES]

With you on that one. Oppy is truly insufferable. I just want to grab her by the shoulders and ask her what the hell her problem is.

[Syntaxis]

glad to see I'm not crazy lmao

[WhiskeyNinja]

Oppy is great, just an old female Rick of Rick and Morty.

[Melalo]

I wish there was some reactivity for her. Like, doing exactly what she wants or bringing her some rare items from the Zone would keep you on her good side or make her more cheerful.

She's an ass to you at first, but she seems to take a liking to you as soon as the plot point of the Hallucination Event comes up. After that, even if she's not your friend per se, she at least sees you as useful.

I think you are meant not to like her. Not all people are nice and friendly and game character dont need to be unless its unintentional.

Looks like another strong female boss bit*h, doing a man's job whille the blabbering, incompetent soy boy scientists play second fiddle.

I'll bet you're fun at parties.

I like that they made her complex. She's an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, however, she's not without merit. I also like how she starts being nicer to you the more you prove yourself. She respects people who get things done.

Couple more hours in and I unlocked the detailing station. Suddenly all of these PRIDE stickers show up as unlocked, to an extend I have never seen before.

Looks like the developers got their political correctness and virtue signaling in order. It also confirms my observation about boss girl grandma.

Unfortunately the game's fun.

Oh no a game about the pacific northwest in the US, a historically liberal location, has *completely optional* bumperstickers, which are also historically things that go on cars. Having played, what, 20 hours? And you likely pirated the game as it doesn't show up on your profile? You seem deep in confirmation bias land. I encourage you to seek external stimulus, other opinions and viewpoints, and challenge your own position. Good luck deprogramming!

Pacific Drive is the only game I've every played with a caste of characters which were excellently crafted while still ticking the byzantine list of progressive requirements.

Oppy was an excellent character and a very real person. The issue is that the caste of games are usually stocked with heroic archetypes while the supporting caste of Pacific Drive were reflections of very real people dealing with the injustices of their time as well as their own personal failings.

Oppy was not a hero, she was an exception woman caught between bureaucratic and private interests which both harbour implicit resentment towards exceptional people - and given the time period, some implicit resentment towards exceptional woman on top of that.

From a story telling perspective, the issue with Oppy in Pacific Drive was that the conclusion to the story was about her instead of being about the driver or the lim destabilised peninsula. If a DC is ever released which gives closure to the driver, the nature of lim or the fate of the peninsula, this issue will be completely resolved. As is though, the conclusion was an extremely emotional and relatable act of letting go of the past and moving on with life for a side character instead of resolving the situation for America or giving credence to the actions of the hero.

Honestly, they could just be playing it from the PS5 since the game got released to it on February 22, 2024.

Steam is probably the closest thing they can get to in terms of forums and community of the game, since it was first released to Steam before they made it available for PS5.

But i can understand why you say all this because of them not owning it on STEAM.

That's certainly technically possible but given they already have a steam profile and active playtime on it, buying PD specifically on another platform is a stretch, and very very charitable of you.

There's also a subreddit and discord where complaining about the flags as ragebait would be a much faster lock/delete than here.

I think Oppy's a great character.

I think you're supposed to hate her in the beginning. All of the characters come across as flawed in their own way in the beginning, and ofc Oppy's severity stands out more than the other two.

But she has some reasons for being that way and is being pretty tough and resilient despite it all.

I won't spoil anything for others, but all of the characters grow throughout the story, and their relationships with one another change. It's not always going to be Oppy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on the other two, or treating you like a disposable tool. She's no GladOS.

She gives a ♥♥♥♥. But she's also got some heavy walls she's put up, and doesn't want anyone to come in. Pay more attention to her actions than her words or her tone.

I like Oppy's she's great. She's a ♥♥♥♥, but she's great.
