sleeping dogs inadvertently created the only realistic cop simulator, though it's still a little farfetched when his superiors berate him for arresting someone by beating them unconscious against a vending machine rather than commend him for his heroic actions in the line of duty

While it's true that you technically play as a police officer in Disco Elysium, you're not necessarily a cop

Chan Marshall was way ahead of the game, I have a used guitar from 20 years ago that has a sticker that says "Cat Power is a Good Cop"

Disco Elysium is to cops as Spec Ops: the Line is to soldiers, so I guess you’re kinda right? Also yeah, Spider-Man being weirdly pro cop in the game was worthy of criticism and it shows because all the cop poo poo is fully and completely removed from Miles Morales

Hot drat. I just beat ANOTHER lone sword ninja, and then rested, and went on to clear out all four ninjas and all the enemies around the drunkard guy and killed him on one go! It was very close after all that fighting and I was down to zero gourds but I kept lighting him on fire and baiting his slow attacks. I couldn’t believe it. I learned two things, if I stayed on the lone shadow guy constantly he didn’t call his dogs (he almost did at one point). And, if I punished his perilous sweep with high monk it absolutely ripped his posture apart. I was so excited I totally missed the death blow and really started panicking thinking he was going to kill me, but I slowed down and got him. https://youtu.be/XE4G5mnSJH4 I’ve been playing this game for like 30 hours now and I’m only loving it more and more. I’ll give owl2 a shot. Not hopeful. And I still have the entire divine realm to start!

For owl 2 it's an endurance contest, he only has a few moves and even less if you keep up the pressure. Learn the right dodge timing and distance for the nasty stuff like the firecrackers that are like a one hit kill. You'll get him. It won't be easy, but you'll do it.

I think anyone with half a brain can easily distinguish between good police and bad police. superhero franchises tend to have an overly generous depiction of police that's become rapidly more uncomfortable over the last decade (and long before that for people paying attention), but spider-man went into it especially hard. it's difficult to view expanding the NYPD's surveillance network as a positive thing without totally retreating into fantasy both the original game and miles morales shrugged off all the unsavory aspects of cops onto shadowy PMC's instead, MM just didn't give the cops themselves a tongue bath on top of it

There's a hands-up-dont-shoot scene but the role of the police is played by an unaccountable private security force, thus completely missing the point and making it worthless. Also there's a big BLM mural at the end but no mention of why anyone might feel compelled to paint one

infraboy posted:Being mostly out of games to play, guess i'm picking up 13 Sentinels and the first Atelier Ryza game since their physical forms are never on sale, where to begin? 13 Sentinels is very much a point-and-click adventure game type of thing, while Ryza is extremely JRPGish. 13S will surprise you pretty regularly, and Ryza's pretty familiar at all times. I enjoyed both, but 13 Sentinels is way more of a unique experience.

I absolutely agree with you dudes, I wish the game wasn’t afraid of just saying what it’s trying to say, but I don’t think it ruins an otherwise great game with excellent representation. The only white character is the comically evil bad guy (and Peter, obvs) and that rules, TBH... oh I guess you hear JJJ but only see his Twitter Av

How dare the cowards at Insomniac avoid mentioning how every single member of the police force is inherently evil, and we the people are the only thing left that is good in this world. I do agree though that mentioning BLM without any background as to why the movement exists in a semi-fictional world might not be the best thing. Then again, any representation helps.

Have you not heard the term "structural racism" before? Happy to introduce you to it. It means in a top-to-bottom racist institution like those that comprise the justice system, the motivations and intentions of individuals within it don't matter. Officer Jefferson Davis seems like a really nice guy. In the real-life NYPD, under mayor Bloomberg, he would've had to make quota for street stop-and-frisks. Nice guy Officer Jefferson Davis is, regrettably, structurally, a pig. I wonder how many skulls the real-life Officer Jefferson Davis would have cracked at a real-life BLM protest last summer.
