Is there an obvious concept that 'post modernism' is standing in for in the game's narrative, or is it just a massively over-elaborate rant about doing art wrong?

Ghost Leviathan posted:post modernism has lost what little meaning it still had to me now. Because the game is a complete mess, its both. But basically the games central story and how its world works is a stand-in for post modernism and the protagonist at every turn rejects post modernism in his personal actions* and at the end its revealed the characters understanding of how their world works is wrong and it works on model more similar to New Sincerity which iirc the game quotes part of their manifesto at the end when it dumps this on you. *His personal actions are mostly him being an rear end in a top hat

Also sincerity is not actually opposed to postmodernism and the criticism of it in the game makes no sense because the developer simply doesn't understand what words mean

Missed the talks on previous pages but; Far Cry 2 is bad. It is also good. I'd say it's the best Far Cry, in part because it doesn't have that Ubisoft open world blandness. Crysis is also a good, related game. That and the standalone expansion Crysis: Warpath or whatever. Also Mafia 1 was extremely good.

Mafia 1 rules despite some jankiness like the NPC not reacting to anything while driving. It's one of my favourite games ever.

FreudianSlippers posted:Mafia 1 rules despite some jankiness like the NPC not reacting to anything while driving. Mafia 1 at release had a pretty broken bit with the race you have to do fairly early. You're made to do a race in an old timey racecar, which is fairly long and easy to crash but you have to win.

DOA does this bait for basically every game. Remember the "buy our lovely Vita volleyball game to stick it to the SJWs" campaign?

The PSP port was the first one to drop Volleyball from its name. Xtreme 3 cut features to a bare minimum and added a premium currency. Fun fact: Guess what age Kasumi and Ayane are in the first 2 games.

They were 16 and 17, I think. Not exactly one of those things that should have been kept the same when localizing the series.

"Modernism" is 100 years old at this point. To the extent postmodernism ever had a meaning its been left behind by the inability to capture a century's worth of artistic/philosophic ideas under one umbrella.

Disclaimer's probably there to try and reduce the odds of Valve's random banhammer falling on 'em since people feel like they've started swinging that thing kinda randomly again. Other than that it just seems like yet another one of those to me, something in particular making it stand out? Seems to have reviewed pretty well at least.

The "All characters are 18" excuse doesn't work either, because some chinese developer got this email from Steam: quote:After review, we will not be able to ship your game 筑盛计划_Victory Project on Steam. While we strive to ship most titles submitted to us, we found that this title features themes, imagery or descriptions that we won’t distribute. quote:It contains the following elements: slight bloody scenes, naked body, slight literary pornographic description.

Sooo, that's 90% of anime games on steam at risk then? Like, almost all of them are set in high schools, and have some level of "fanservice".

that game posted:We are not interested in working with partners that dance around the edges of what's legal. For instance, setting your game in a high-school but declaring your characters are of legal age would fall into that category and be banned. Just say that everyone in the game flunked third grade like five times. Problem solved!

I don’t know if community colleges are a thing in Japan. As most of those games basically only work with Japan’s high School structure.

On the other hand, Nekopara has been on Steam for ages, so that can't be the deciding factor.
