There is very little repeated dialogue in terms of barks, according to the team. They also said the instructional chatter will die down after that opening area but basically your gun is your companion so expect chatter akin to Nathan Drake & Sully. I only did the opening tho.

My ethos is I'd rather us take forever to raise say $300 and only get 1-2 pieces out of it than raise $300 and use it to pay for 30 pieces at $10 a pop. Fuck that unethical ass pay and hopefully our readers feel the same way and thus are cool with their dollars not "going as far"
