Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

:barf: I can't narrow down the worst part of the video, but I see three things in the thumbnail that cause my eye to twitch.

Lol cool that they went with pigs=cops in a mobile game where your goal is to catapult suicide-bombers into groups of them.

I thought the Angry birds were round spheres. Why is that one a regular bird with giant tits in a leather catsuit?

The Angry Birds movie trailer, aimed at kids, featured a joke where it was funny that the main characters were drinking piss

in this angry birds cartoon, the pigs capture two birds to force them to gently caress which for some reason they think will make an egg they can eat. the birds argue while they are trapped and the pigs think they are loving, which allows the birds to escape

no part of that sentence is an exaggeration

The most disappointing thing about that Far Cry 5 image is that they apparently don't have the tech to render body types other than the same generic Ken doll musculature. Why make a game about slaughtering rednecks and not include embarrassingly fat guys whose bulletproof vests look like corsets because of how much their girth strains them or super skinny tweakers with the armholes of their shirts down to their bellybuttons?

IIRC the people that worked on it were hideously overworked and underpaid even moreso than by most animation studio standards so yeah probably not a good idea to wish death on them for being in a lovely situation imo

Yeah imo if you can only manage to create one male character model that is differentiated solely via clothing and hairstyle, maybe don't put six of them on the poster.

My biggest problem with the FC5 thing is that when you mix politics and games so blatantly EVERYONE becomes completely loving insufferable and I hate the game for that reason alone

Of course they could only create one character model, making character models is so hard they couldn't manage to make a female rig for AC Unity

There are plenty of video games that involve politics, you just don't recognize the viewpoint they are espousing or missing what they're referencing. People become insufferable when they recognize they are the target, not when politics are involved.

They look like photobashes of actors with models pasted over the faces to me, which makes the similarity in body type even more lame

They made it so blatant that now I have to hear about how this game is anti-american and MAGA god bless trump blah blah or how it's finally game developers stepping up to take down THE FASCIST TRUMPREICH / lol what if we just had a conversation with them guys???

Truth.

Every Call of Duty game is ideological and political, it just happens to be the dominant ideology of the United States so it appears invisible to most people like fish in water

I really just don't trust Ubisoft to make a cogent thought politically in the game series that includes Far Cry 3.

I fully expect some truth is in the middle bullshit and that's the last ammo basement nerds need.
