As someone who used to be skinny, and now, decidedly, isn’t…
I’d take metabolism any day. That being said, I do have a friend who struggles to keep weight up due to a medical issue. Taking that dude to an all you can eat buffet is almost traumatizing, lol.
I played the first PS. Loved it. If memory serves, I usually cloaked up, used a knife, and tried to capture stuff.
PS2, well… I played the beta, I didn’t care for the stealth changes. Then, it released and I played a little… just couldn’t maintain my interest, plus the unlock system was kinda punishing and made it seem too P2W for me.
