    Look, if you’re gonna make something about secrets in a game you have to know the first thing about players, they will find that shit AND ask why theres not more in the first few hours. I straight up turned the movie off after that secret with backing up in the beginning of the race. Some child who doesnt know how to drive would accidentally find that in the first week of release. Similarly, I deleted the book without ever opening the file after that.

      You should actually read the book. The movie is absolute shit, and the first “puzzle” with the race is entirely made up for the movie; it’s not at all in the book. The movie changes a lot of actual references to video games and nerd culture and also misses the point with a lot of shit overall.

        Maybe I will, I am getting into The Culture series,though I dont think its what I thought it was. I need me some scifi to read so if this doesnt stick I’ll give a try, and I can queue it up next regardless. Thank you for telling me.

          I’ve heard to skip the first novel of the Culture series, I read it and kinda bounced off of it from a prose standpoint because it’s very 80s sci fi, so the rest of the series probably isn’t for me.
