Ironically it's around the halfway mark I keep stopping! I never make it that far past Timeless River.
Been hearing for over a decade about how good the Critical Mode postgame is in 2 and I've never given myself the opportunity to either appreciate it or say every fan of this game is wrong.
![An excerpt from the Wikipedia page for the 3DO game console. It reads “Licensing to independent manufacturers made the system extremely expensive. The manufacturers had to make a profit on the hardware itself, whereas most major game console manufacturers, such as Sega and Sony, sold their systems at a loss, with expectations of making up for the loss with software sales. The 3DO was priced at US$699,[23][24] far above competing game systems and aimed at high-end users and early adopters. Hawkins has argued that 3DO was launched at $599, and not "higher myths that are often reported".[25] In a later interview, Hawkins clarified that while the suggested retail price was $699, not all retailers sold the system at that price.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3f5qfeadz2z7mhbi6rcjxghf/bafkreibfw2aubpgqopmnphpzhhptmwn6qee33ha5lshxk6nvvqrtmcezou)
