yeah i'm sure the lazy characterization and lack of any sort of identifying signal between factions is a deliberate choice and not a retroactive justification for cutting corners. i mean far cry 3 just put all the bad guys in red shirts and all the good guys in blue shirts. or better yet, just have one faction, then you don't end up with the absurdly jarring situation where you shoot up faction A and kill their guys, then immediately go to the faction A leader and promise to be nice to get another go somewhere and kill guys mission, then the mission after that you're killing faction A again etc.

It was a deliberately thematic choice, because the character you play is a Mercenary who literally gets paid in blood diamonds and is perpetuating a war they have no stake in to 'stop' an arms dealer for dubious reasons.

The reason why the motivations of the characters is never revealed to you is because why would you or they care if you actually knew? As long as you're getting paid, you're happy, as long as things are being killed, they're happy. That's the extent of your interaction with them. This is sort of the extent of your interaction with your "buddies", too. The game goes out of its way to not give them really much of a personality but they do have functionally useful purposes so when they die, you feel that loss not as an emotional "drat, this guy was a bro, I'm going to miss him" but a practical "Who is going to save my rear end now?"

Because in Far Cry 2 you are an rear end in a top hat.

Rammstein's also super gay so I think that has an appeal . Like in the Leather Crowd their super popular. If I were doing cocaine somewhere and someone put some Rammstein on I wouldn't tell them to turn it off.

Otherwise their kind of meh

it would be a thematic choice if the factions were distinguished in any way from each other, or having some purpose aside from being two quest givers instead of one. functionally the factions only exist in the safe zones, outside of the cities there's only guys trying to kill you. failing to even put arm bands or hats or have them fly different flags, a trivial act of new asset creation, would make it seem not so lazy and pointless from a design perspective

Fascists will like just about anything related to germany or naziism because they're idiots and don't seem to know when they're being lampooned and spat on.

i hear it's pretty terrible. but the only two scenes ive seen were the one my redtext came from and the orgy. I though "well this certainly is a Seth Rogan movie" and then watched a better movie like Batman vs Superman instead.

my favorite part of sausage party was the flatbread and the bagel fighting and having heavy accents and being voiced by whiteboiis

or the whiskey played by the white guy that's a 'Native American chief'

or the date rapist tequila bottle also played by a white guy

or the lesbian taco

so funny dudes
