Kopijeger posted:Come to think of it, the only way the premise could possibly work (armed cult kidnaps unwilling citizens from US town, does not get supressed by FBI/National Guard in return) is if society has already broken down to the extent that there is no state or federal authority ready to intervene. Not really. There are parts of Wyoming that become basically cut off from the rest of civilization throughout a lot of the winter and spring because of the snow. On the other hand, this game appears to take place during the early fall so

there was literally a whole thing right around when this game started getting developed where Montana hillbillies were strutting around with ARs on national TV drawing down on feds and the government went to enormous pains to not do poo poo about it or upset them in any way even after they'd literally started occupying territory and drawing loonies from all over the country by preaching violent revolution against the illegitimate government that wouldn't let them steal poo poo and start forest fires. if the Bundies had bothered get one of their weird hick clan in the sheriff's office or something they'd be running a few counties right now.

nigga crab pollock posted:death of the author is ultimately a lame postmodernist copout that lets ideologically minded jerkoffs separate their work from the context of the reality it was authored in and makes it vastly easier to sniff your own farts. it's not like its a bad concept, authorial intent is't always what a work ends up depicting, but its bred this acceptable attitude of ignorant agnosticism of the artist which usually ends up just being abused in fallacious arguments like this one where people jump up and say the dissonance between the story and gameplay is the whole point of the game when in actuality its just an artefact of the game trying to be six things at once and developed by a studio with a high turnover rate on a max time crunch attempting to re-bake the half cooked game concept that got dumpstered I'm framing this poem.

Universe Master posted:I want a far cry game set in a fantasy universe. Some dark wizard looking through a crystal finds a loaded arsenal on present day earth and opens a portal that sucks stockpiles of assault and sniper rifles and light machine guns and armed jeeps and all the usual far cry stuff and he hands it out to a bunch of orc followers. You're a commando dude who gets sucked in as well, and a good wizard finds you and teaches you Bioshock/Skyrim type hand weapon magic. You'll take down orks armed with AKs with either guns or magic and hunt dragons and griffons and manticores. Primal was kind of close to fantasy it was basically a riff on the Beastmaster movies but set in caveman times

I could see this working so far back as the '90's. Like, with cell phones and Facebook there's no way you could have a clandestine takeover of a county by religious extremists, the viral video would tank it all. But before then, if you had key members of the county authority: Sheriff, all of the commissioners, probably the biggest city's chief of police and his whole retinue, and most of the mayors or town council leaders, then sure, you could kind of quietly over time assert this power and start vanishing people from view without much hubbub. Problem is gonna be when you have helicopters shooting missiles around Buckwheat County Montana, in a contemporary setting with smart phones, you're gonna beggar belief.

The prospect of getting to virtually kill hundreds of white redneck "nazis" is a woke liberal's wet dream. violence and poo poo mostly. https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/24/15685670/far-cry-5-setting-art-e3-2017-ubisoft https://twitter.com/radicalbytes/status/867854636518166528 moralists dips are gonna whine no matter what. anyway. the game is more about fighting FLDS/branch davidian/christian ISIS mixed with prepper militias more then alt right dickheads. honestly looks more interesting.

Fried Watermelon posted:The real message of Bioshock Infinite is that there are an Infinite amount of universes where every possible scenario has happened so nothing you really did mattered at all because there was another universe where the opposite choice you made happened. pretty much. i like alot of the ideas of infinite but it basically got remade like 4 times apparently and it loving shows.

The series started with Island of Dr Munroe monsters with rocket launchers strapped to them. Literally. 2 got serious. 3 was frat boy becomes batman 4 was batman with helicopters Blood dragon happened. There was 1 point where things got sort of realistic or close to believable. Why do people expect this series to do things it doesn't do?

Bombadilillo posted:yeah. weirdly enough they all have weird "depth" to them, cept 1. 2 is a depressing game about people loving a dying central African country to death. all your missions are basically damaging or destroying any remaining infrastructure, like water purification, food stuffs, oil prediction, train yards. all the factions are basically just dickhead ex government officials armed with mercs who are basically killing each other over scraps. everyone you know is monster and then everyone dies. 3 is about a dumb douchebag who is gaslighted into thinking he is some magical savior by a bunch of natives who are using him as a expendable soldier and jizzbank for some crazy priestess whos brother(also possible lover) went nuts because of drugs and now runs a native gang who work as violent henchmen for some dickhead crime boss. 4 is some kid going back to his nepalese home and seeing it in a civil war where the dictator in charge might be the best person there. the rebels are either hindu fundamentalists who want to gently caress kids and have purity laws or woke revolutionaries who want the main economy to be drug cartels. also your dad was backwards dickfuck.

Pretty groundbreaking stuff.

they make the same game over and over and it's all the same tedious open world busywork poo poo with mediocre and repetitive gameplay. at this stage i wonder if it's even worth it, people actually cry when games are too long now so they might be better off working on well designed discrete levels rather than making giant empty open worlds to do 600 identical fetch quests in
