it’s by no mean really bad. the big problem to me at least is that hopping between planets in tiny segments makes the world feel a lot smaller than the mojave wasteland ever did. also the fact that the weapon models and skins are reused for more powerful versions later on feels a bit cheap. the perks are also mostly really boring. it’s still a great game with compelling writing and characters that feels held back by budget. and if another person calls it centrist i’m gonna force feed them an entry level literature textbook

Well it's not really centrist, it's too dumb to have a stance of any kind, even a toothlessly cowardly one.

It's a comically exaggerated and hamfisted critique of corporate bureaucracy where every story ends with "can't we just all get along", it certainly doesn't dig deeper than that, and doesn't even seem too interested in making salient points because the various caricatures are too dissimilar from the actual problems with capitalism and too arbitrary to read as serious. And then it's really, really, really monotonous to play. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 11:11 on Jul 3, 2022 |

Doesn’t literally the first planet end with you having to make a choice if the resource extraction corp or the anarchist commune deserves power more? That’s not there’s always a happy ending and everyone gets along

Arivia posted:Doesn’t literally the first planet end with you having to make a choice if the resource extraction corp or the anarchist commune deserves power more? That’s not there’s always a happy ending and everyone gets along There's a third path where you cut power with the commune and convince the leader of it return. You then convince the corporate stooge running the corporate town he's actually awful at it and he walks out into the wilderness to die as the commune leader takes over everything and turns the packing plant into a garden. I don't know if that's meeting in the middle but it's the happy ending where everyone gets along (except for the one guy). It also reminds you that the commune leader has been running the commune out of spite and wants to see the corporate town collapse and everyone loyal to it die of starvation, while the guy running the corpo town is a blinkered idiot who's been raised his entire life on corporate propaganda that he believes it, and seeing the reality of a better outcome makes him willing to die for the sake of things being better. I don't know if there's a message in that. You could attach one if you wanted.

i would definitely say that “running it out of spite” is an extreme exaggeration. like yes she is spiteful towards the corporate ruling and everyone who is loyal towards them, which is extremely understandable, but she genuinely does believe in what she’s doing. i wasn’t aware of the third option but that again seems more like turning the city itself to an anarchist commune more than a meeting in the middle

I don't know if that's meeting in the middle but it's the happy ending where everyone gets along (except for the one guy). As I remember it (been a while), that's the template for all the major stories. Pick side A, pick side B or do a side quest to unlock the true good ending where it turns out everybody had good intentions and PC's enlightened nature lets them see the common ground. Not because of any ideological centrism on the part of the devs, i assume, but because that's the default way to design these quests, and this is a very default game, themes and message be damned. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Jul 3, 2022 |

It is the formula of each of them. It's also willing to be sympathetic to those holding the wrong position or on the wrong side ideologically, and willing to criticize those on the other end, and that made quite a few people upset. Calling the game centrist is ridiculous, and if I were inclined to be uncharitable to those criticisms I'd say they stem from the game not supporting their specific ideals, or displaying them with a fraction of messy human complexity. Like, Christ's sake, even the middle-of-the-road options involve making a commune even bigger, and turning a corporation into even more of a worker co-op spreading anti-establishment messages through the system. The game disappointed me, but come the gently caress on.

I think A Light Shining In The Darkness is a good choice for that. Or, last time, playign the (old) viva new vegas setup, it let me sneak That Gun in, which doesn't even require a detour from the normal path.
