The basic story is pretty trope-y (defeat the big evil demon) but the way it gets there is pretty funny.

The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.

tbh that game is a huge pile of ripoffs (the secret project videos straight out of Baraka etc) but it really, really works despite that

and sure part of that is the strong narrative work but part of that is just that intellectual property rights suck

It's manifestly true, if you just define the places invaded as not countries.

All good stories are made of the spoils of theft, no matter the medium. Pretty dumb to single out video games for that in this day and age particularly, where you're lucky if the remakes, reboots and rehashes manage not to completely gently caress it up unprompted.

I still laugh at how olivia's secret clan, that was to carry on the legacy of the hero with the power of god in his arms, decided the best way to do that was to lop said arms off his corpse and attach them to convenient amputees

wait, this isn't the video games thread, what the gently caress are you people doing. oh well. time to go listen to broncobuster, yet oh see mind, devil may sly, and battery size d again
