Guillermus posted:Hey, Spain is been like that since the 16th century and we don't even care edit: I'm saying that a game about American nationalism right now is riding on the crest of a wave of a bunch of serious social problems (and in a realistic setting unlike Wolfenstein) and if Ubisoft goes all in on it that's more ballsy than I expect from them. The first AC, Far Cry 3 and so on were honestly milquetoast as hell in comparison but in the former they put up a silly warning at the beginning of the game and for the latter they had some amount of backlash already.

the cult from everything i have read and watched seems to be a mix of branch davidians meets prepper christian ISIS and always has been. they are probaly right wing. alot of weird psycho fundie cults do. but it never seemed like they were going wolfenstein with it. i am sure they will have some stuff in it. but saying "gently caress trump/alt right" was never the focus. i think most people just assumed that when the cover image got shown, but i always got a ISIS/fundie death sect type vibe from the trailer.

The trailer with the American flag fluttering in the wind and rural imagery combined with "This Land is Your Land" seemed pretty on-the-nose to me. Anyway the history of Christian Dominionism within the US is inseparable from white supremacy anyway sooooo

Hm, I didn't notice they were using lyrics from the Carter Family song in that trailer before. It makes sense since the original is much more of a spiritual. I don't really have a horse in this race, I just think it's strange and a little bit cynical how even political views are commoditized to sell consumer products. That being said I'll happily buy the first game that can make good on its promise to finally Kill All Men.

But the only commodity poo poo came from people who desperately wanted FC5 to be a Trump shooter simulator. Ubi didn't market it around right wing politics.

At the Ubi press events the lead dev said he was inspired by looking at the sovereign citizen movements and the Bundys, though of course there's a difference between inspiration and what ends up after getting filtered through layers and layers of development

There was a decided transition in the marketing between the initial story trailers that focused on "THE RESISTANCE" and later ones which focused on the coop "race monster trucks with your friends" though that mix seems fair to me. I have a feeling I know which gaming websites you're talking about and none of them were wailing because they all started cynical and skeptical about the game having any kind of coherent message in the first place. The most wailing and direct political rhetoric came from GamerGaters that said "THIS GAME SAYS IT'S OK TO KILL TRUMP SUPPORTERS" which, like, if you see the enemies in Far Cry 5 and you see yourself, well

Actually you were talking about gaming websites wailing Anyway, I thought New Colossus's take was relatively hot if you consider the general political rhetoric you see in games, it explicitly said that Middle America was generally regressive and would accept fascism and slavery if that's the way the political wind blows CharlieFoxtrot fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Feb 13, 2018 |

Dapper_Swindler posted:yeah. mafia 3 with me. the story is good and while the mission structure is repetitive, it works thematically and the gun play is fun and meaty as gently caress(alot of guns have great kick to them). Hell yeah, I was beginning to think I was the only one that loved Mafia 3. drat fine game and excellent atmosphere.

Next time I'll see how they fare. I want to at least take out Club Mars before progressing the story but this is a lot harder than Real State, but also has actual gameplay so it evens out.

I took out Club Mars and realized I'm a loving imbecile I never got it that when you're selecting a Hostess for a client, their Mood icon change depending on how compatible they were, I always thought I just had to choose the best Sexy/Beauty/Cute/Funny one.

If a high roller comes in and demands a specific person, but that person is busy, just free them up by assigning someone else to that table. Eventually you have to juggle a bunch of people like that and exploit Sunshine Time to turn unhappy people into happy ones. Sega where's my Cabaret Club mobile game
