Fun for the whole white nuclear family.
Played it. It was fine. Great set-pieces, the acting was decent, the combat was intense, the ending was wacky. Actually, most of it was pretty wacky, as expected.

It's a good game so far. The only thing that rubs me the wrong way is that the foreshadowing is painted on with thick globs of neon paint. Also, they brought back Vita chambers again. Why should I care about not dying when I just instantly respawn?

The consequence is the cost in silver eagles. On the lower difficulties this might not be a big deal, but on 1999 mode it is. Instead of dying and being sent back to the main menu, the game offers a trade. The smarter choice is to just go back to the main menu, but out of convenience I continue to find myself spending the coin because I just want to get right back into the action ASAP.

I wonder why it costs money to respawn. I don't see how that works from a logical perspective.

"Why does it cost money?" is the least of the logical problems respawning has.

I was more interested about an in-universe explanation, but I guess I can make the easy one and just assume
screwing around with time costs a pretty penny.

But ultimately, there is no consequence. So you lose money, how does that matter? So you can't buy one more upgade so you don't have to respawn one more time in the next hard fight?
I wish they'd just drop this whole mechanic.

Only to replace it with save/loading that also offers no consequence?

The consequence would be having to try the whole fight over again, especially since there are only checkpoint saves. Granted, this isn't something I'd want for Easy or Medium, but for Hard and 1999 it would be better.

That actually seems like less consequences to me. You have to redo, but you still end up with all your resources. In the former, I redo some of the fight and end up poorer. In the latter, I redo all of the fight and end up with as much cash as I started with.
