Also horizon zero dawn makes the young failsons/fowlsons of the gamer internet incredibly angry for all the right reasons and it's a good game even on the technical aspects alone without all the cool wokeness going on with the story and cast. Seriously google horizon zero dawn feminist agenda lol

You know what's funny? No matter if it was Sanders, Biden, or Clinton; if any of them had won, they would've had a bitch of a time being president with or without Putin's interference on virtue of the fact that none of them are Republican. If Putin just wanted to create gridlock and disorder in our country, he didn't really have to do anything.

it is funny but putin hates the clintons, especially hillary

like hates her more than jeff sessions hates black people and paul ryan hates the poor combined

i wouldn't be surprised that he saw an opening to gently caress with her and couldn't help himself

Kentucky Route Zero is a more somber and dreamlike game, but I think it hits similar themes as NITW, and is also appropriate for the Escalator Era.

True, I'm just thinking that it does seem like a naive foreigner's point of view of American politics to think that you need to help us create gridlock and governmental chaos. We can handle that on our own.

what's funny is that putin's probably been infiltrating the gop for a while now (especially the tea party it looks like) and now all that has a massive chance to go up in flames because he couldn't control himself

I'd laugh my rear end off if the end result was Saudi/OPEC getting fed up with Russian interference in their regional business and just opening the oil taps full blast until the steppes are paved with starved tracksuited corpses and Putin is left wracked with hunger trying to decide whether to blow his brains out with his Makarov and end it all or parboil his own nutsack for a meal first. It hurts the KSA economy like crazy to crash gas prices but they could be pushed to a point where they decide it's worth it to chokeslam the Russian economy back into the 1920s.

If they conspire to get Bernie in with a coup I'm sure we can work with them to rig oil prices with our own production levels to crush Russia

She's a badass with a bow and non-revealing clothing. Nobody's tarted up at all in the game and the human enemies are all a bunch of cultist guys who are deranged as all hell.

Think of all the positive aspects of say Tomb Raider, all that hard-edge resilient huntress stuff and get rid of the torture porn and figure-hugging wardrobe. Add a well-written story and a fairly engrossing survivalist/hunter-gatherer set of play mechanics. Then add primitive megafauna except it's robots.

I mean it's been known for a while that the tea party got astroturfed pretty much immediately, but if russia's influence went this far back?

everyone talks about this and that person playing 12-dimensional chess, this whole time Putin's been playing 69th dimensional taikyoku shogi
