Yeah the solution is to not have hostages and just use an actual flag so we can stop pretending there is anything remotely realistic about video games

Mario Kart confirmed for most violence-inducing game of all time.

More like Nintendo in general. I have seen IRL fist fights break out over the last turn of a Mario Party game.

The hostage did manage to out the dude's scout drone in the beginning of the video, so she did do something. It just wasn't terribly useful.

I would bet cash dollar bills that in the design document for that fake game that isn't real they're planning on having hostages of both genders

neither have you, link me an example or get out, links to cnn don't count for reference

Maybe there'd be yelling/screaming? Maybe the hostage would try helping, telling the rescuers that Bad Guy is out in the hall waiting, or a few were sitting in the next room?

But yes, please reinforce the stereotype that women can do nothing in a hostage situation because they are all traumatized wilting flowers, thanks.

I am torn between laughing at this post, and emptyquoting this other one

How conveniently we ignore the girl playing sharpshooter though. Also, "capture the flag".

Well yeah, but they were still trying to use her as one.

It should have been like SWAT where you zip tie them then tell them to stay the gently caress down while you clear the area. I don't know if that's what real cops do with hostages either but I'm pretty sure it's closer to reality than using them as a loving human shield.

In a word? No. Incidentally, that's why nobody has said anything about it yet.

How could it possibly be a roguelike with that premise

Procedurally generated officer locations, how much wine they have left, when and where you tank breaks down, what the name of the winery you end up in is, what songs you have available before the final act.

Totally feasible. Just imagine the elevators in Mass Effect as highways.

I don't know why people are so dumb they prioritize reality over gameplay in this videogame. The hostage doesn't do poo poo because it's capture the flag, not cluster the gently caress.

That's a good point, it wouldn't be an issue if that sort of thing were equal, and you can't really say for sure any individual case like this is sexism specifically, but it is part of a larger trend. Even if there is equality in the game, they still made the decision to use a woman for their fake trailer. Thanks for your constructive post

I'd like it to be like that and to scale but I'm willing to bet it won't be to scale.

It'll just be courses that run through the country. Im sure they are just counting going west to east on a linear course that isnt remotely to scale "the United States".

In both situations you use a rocket launcher and taste the meaty afterwind of your victory.

I've been aching for a game where i can just put people in handcuffs no matter if they actually did anything. Swat 4 owned

Absolutely not, and I'm really glad they're lying about that because it would be loving terrible. I'm hoping it's like a 15 to 20 minute drive from LA to San Francisco with an unrealistic amount of cool poo poo and crazy shortcuts in between.
