get that OUT of my face
Feb 10, 2007

the AAA video game industry is just another cog in the capitalist machine, and cranking out pro-imperialist propaganda is part of the package. even before this latest instance, there was a CoD game that had Oliver North as a good guy and a Tom Clancy game that had an Occupy-inspired movement as the bad guys. "realism" in these games hampers creativity and paves the way for this kind of thing. give me cerebral bores and BFG 9000s over true-to-detail assault rifles any fuckin day of the week

and that isn't even getting into whatever "live service" nonsense they're going to shoehorn into the new Modern Warfare

We already got Farcry 5 where we can shoot the dicks off Trump supporters, fairness dictates that they get a game where they can masturbate furiously while shooting brown people.
the reviews for Far Cry 5 pissed me off. they all admitted that it's a good and well-made game, but it didn't deliver the hard hitting political commentary they fully expected from previews (completely forgetting that AAA video game companies probably aren't gonna be delivering that), so it gets a bad score

admittedly the plot is poo poo and says nothing, but if that ruins your playing enjoyment then you suck
