@Phorm @anthracite I did enjoy the Ghostbusters Xbox 360 game, whereby you upgraded your equipment by discarding the safety systems on them. No crafting, no parts required, just "Hey you know this thing that makes the pack safer? Let's take that off."
@Phorm @Soreth @anthracite that and the gonzo upgrades to the guns in Bioshock ("Power to the people!") are the only valid weapon upgrades (for the sake of this conversation. personally off-thread, I'm a fan of Dead Space's upgrade model but-)
@Soreth @anthracite That is admittedly amazingly on brand. I love it.
