FC5 is a perfectly fine open world game that does have fun stuff. It's really a shame they hosed up with having easily the worst story of any FC game and their half assed 'we're gonna dance around current events without doing anything meaningful' solution because that did rightly sour people on what coulda been a fun experience.

Dapper_Swindler posted:what annoyed me more is i fully expected them to not make a "gently caress trump/chuds" game. judging from all the commercials, they were trying to go for a Branch davidian plus ISIS feel and that honestly interested the hell out of me more then "lol chuds killing sim" poo poo a decent amount of people wanted. the problem is that don't do poo poo with cult stuff. you have some vague overview of their beliefs and methods but thats it. if you want a depressing and sorta deep far cry. play 2. Yea I wasn't really holding my hopes out for 'lol flamethrower the CHUDS', it was pretty clearly originally designed around Branch style militant cults and they obviously wanted to cash in on current events as launch got closer. They still just kinda did nothing with THAT element either. You instantly meet up with the ~good guy survivalists~ who quickly explain that ACTUALLY it's fine to be an insane armed to the teeth prepper but THOSE guys are bad because THEY have magic drugs and THAT'S not good. Then from there you're just fighting loving magicians and zombies. The only genuinely good cult guy is mr "I was looking all my life for things to say YES to". The other two were 'generic survivalist who's the BAD kind not the GOOD kind like OUR militia' and 'a literal drug wizard who I have no idea why she's even here she's just a straight up goddamn mage with a vague hippy style that actually has nothing to do with the other Seeds' style of things at all'. Also the general 'this feels weird' about gunning down drug addicts in rural America...for the resistance, yaaaaay....

oh also side quests are even worse than usual except for the like, two in each region they clearly spent effort in. I got I think 3 distinct flavors of 'there's DRUG ADDICTS in there, take your machine gun to them please. We're the good guys btw'.

Dapper_Swindler posted:agreed but the cult is basicaly going full ISIS and killing anyone who doesnt submit. Jacob is just a hosed up PTSD vet who has gone full neo Malthusian/social darwinist and Hope is just the newest "hope" she is some kid who got druged and brainwashed into being the pretty face for the death cult. both are interesting ideas but the way the game is structured its all humbled jumble. i like the game mechanicaly and enviromentaly a ton, sucks about the story. That is fair. They have very neat ideas, I remember the spoiler but forgot Jacob had a whole PTSD 'I turned to this poo poo to make sense' thing going on. Those could both be very solid characters but...yea just it all got lost in the vague soup of clashing flavors of the story. They designed a linear game at first, I think. I think you're meant to play Mr Yes Dude, then Faith, then Jacob and kinda get this slowly creeping dread as it grows from kinda 'normal' weird cult that's suddenly gone violent to 'oh gently caress no they're messing with some twisted stuff' and then full on 'welcome to my killing fields bitches' but...no one's gonna do that when they can run freely from the get go so I think they had to water things down to be sure you could experience them whenever. I think this is a case where 'not every game NEEDS to be a sandbox' is true, some structure would have made this story better because yea I agree I dig the game as a pure mechanical/style thing.

Dapper_Swindler posted:yeah pretty much. i always thought Mafia 3 knocked it out of the park when it came to tackling racism and the 60s. the writers nailed the tone and the wording and dog whistles. like the "native son" radio program and stuff. plus it was fun game. the shooting was sharp and meaty as hell. it was also the closet to feeling like a Punisher game in a long time. Yea I enjoyed Mafia 3 but I also never finished it because the third cycle of 'break up the rackets of 2 underbosses doing similar missions that revolve around 'go here, break things', 'go here, kill a guy', or 'find a guy driving around and kill him', then go to one of the places you killed everyone before to kill the underboss, then do it again, then beat the boss boss, then have that fat irish bastard whine because even though you JUST GAVE HIM territory he's angry you gave some to someone else' made me go 'ok, bye'. It's not a bad game by far but boy is it repetitive.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:Basically, except that Petersen is in the humanities (and is usually the first non-dismissive exposure a lot of his fans have to the humanities) so there's an extra layer of pseudo-mystical woo in his appeal. Peterson's got a GREAT grift going on. He tells his fans that we need to defund humanities and all because it's all cultural marxists and his entire industry is based around being young men's first experience to someone reading meaning into stories in a real way so his absolute loving drivel of 'you see in Peter Pan the children don't want to grow up because Captain Hook is the only adult they see around them...and that means somehow the feminists and minorities are destroying the world' seems revolutionary and amazing. He's probably one of the genuinely dumbest pieces of poo poo in the west but his entire scam is trying to make sure he's the first and only person his target demo encounters like a fuckin cult leader.

Falstaff posted:Jordan Peterson does story analysis? But he's not that kind of humanities professor - he's a clinical psychologist. Yea that's the grift. He gets to say 'I'm in humanities' which is not a lie but because we straight don't teach humanities worth a drat in America his crowd assumes that means he's a master of all humanities topics. So when HE says we need to destroy the gender/racial studies and purge the arts of anyone who disagrees that the humble lobster is to be our totem it's actually good because he's ONE OF THEM.

yea on one hand I do agree if she can actually reach these people rock on, but those comments are just 'no I still like this complete idiot fraud but you were nicer than the other mean people so thank you'. Also a lot of the 'so much more respectful!!!!' thing makes me roll my eyes because maybe we just shouldn't show the dude who draws straight up bonkers diagrams of loopy lines leading to "DRAGON FEMININITY" and "KING ORDER" to prove that Frozen is actually communist propaganda but Sleeping Beauty was randian any respect. Maybe if we all just called him an idiot and stopped giving him any status as an intellectual he'd go away. It's like the chess player joke, he's running in with his completely made up rule and no one is just saying 'no, get out, we don't want to play with you' so now he's just ingrained.

It's really not even that, he's most of these guys' first exposure to literally any literary analysis beyond the most base level high school english 'the storm in The Tempest represents the characters' emotions as well' level stuff so any authoritative voice, even a completely wrong one, is revolutionary.

EndOfTheWorld posted:I mean, people on the right have done enough to denigrate the humanities that people think anything other than a STEM education is liberal bullshit, so when a guy who sounds like Joseph Campbell after one too many kicks to the head starts going on about ~symbols~ the audience has no frame of reference for what a good scholar of the humanities sounds like. Yea like I said before it's a loving amazing grift. He's part of the crowd that makes sure his target demo thinks 'humanities' is just what idiots who can't be STEMboys get into to learn gender science and anti-western views, then he comes in all 'I'm one of them and I can tell you I'm the only one NOT a brainwashed communist' so his insane poo poo is gospel. Like, if he had any ambitions other than scamming these people I'd call him dangerous because he genuinely clearly understands social engineering better than half the alt-right guys competing with him.

That maps of meaning book is from the 90s, right? He just landed in a perfect niche. oh you can be dumb as poo poo and good at social engineering. I think him being better at it than his peers is more an indictment of how absolutely stupid his peers are than praise of his own intellect. Like, Donald Trump is better at Ted Cruz's scam than Ted Cruz is, but neither of those dudes are what I'd call a political genius

the fact that even on the left it's been reduced to 'making his dog hiel' and not 'uploaded a video of him shouting 'gas the Jews' while cackling and showing Hitler's speeches' is probably why people have that knee jerk reaction, we let the right completely decide what that story was.

Spark That Bled posted:So it isn't just a case of just being too old to write about teenagers, then? Because that is what the review sounded like to me, whenever it hit that button. no, dude, this isn't that deep. Gerwig wrote about a period piece using her own experiences to shape it and literally never claimed to be doing some kind of cultural snapshot. The Fines are 30 year olds who haven't been around prom age kids in ages who are trying to write a hip and trendy modern youth story and failing because they don't know what youth actually is these days.

probably my favorite Action Park thing is the battle karts game with the cannons people outside the karts got where you could just fire the ammo at randos and ignore the actual game, AND where people discovered that if a driver of the karts snatched a round (I wanna say they were straight up just tennis balls?) they could wedge it in the controls somehow to make the speed limiter gently caress up. Like, that level of negligence CAN'T be accidental, that had to be someone making the ride and trying to do a loving cheat code in real life.

Yardbomb posted:4, as miserable as it was, I'd gladly play over 3 again. 4 at least had a neat map and some good set pieces (That they wasted but oh well) and since Bethesda were never gonna really try with the RPG side anymore, might as well make it a better shooty game so they can hopefully farm out the next installment to someone who can write again. I completely agree. I don't like either but if it was a 'gun to your head pick one' thing I'll go 4 every time.

I'm a big fan of when ~animation fans~ get all huffy about how all new shows look exactly alike and their proof is like, if you take one design that doesn't even really match up and put it in a white void then it kinda sorta looks the same as another not really matching design in another white void. Like, I 100% get why there's the instinct to just laugh at these people even if it's probably not a professional response. edit: And since someone asked where this comes from. It's the "CAL ARTS IS RUINING ANIMATION" meme but with the name filed off after tons of people replied to it with examples of artists with super unique styles coming from Cal Arts the first time. It's literally just a conspiracy theory that started with some egg's 'I didn't even WANT to go to that school so it doesn't matter I didn't get in they SUCK anyway' rant and got mixed in with the kinda people who think computer animation is basically murdering the entire industry. sexpig by night fucked around with this message at 15:32 on May 20, 2018 |

https://twitter.com/ElfGrove/status/997616125356605440 Pretty much sums it up, using like, at best maybe two cartoons from the same studio that have similar looks as proof that basically animation sucks now because everyone uses the same style is real dumb when we're actually in an incredibly diverse time for animation style.

You can disagree and all plenty but just maybe don't be shocked that not everyone agrees with a stance of 'well he made good review videos' should make 'he also was a huge rear end in a top hat to anyone not like him and often would get his fans to attack people he disliked for no reason' something that has to be sealed in a secret vault forever. Like yea no poo poo he's not Steve Scalise, who's getting his pecker and balls blown off was hilarious because he's an active white supremacist controlling American politics, but if the bar is that low what even is the point of having one. Things that own and are funny: -Scalise getting his balls blown off and still being such an NRA slave he said 'actually guns are great' like as soon as he got out of the hospital. -John McCain's brain being scooped out with an ice cream scoop -Reagan died making GBS threads his pants and thinking movie scripts were real Things that don't own but also aren't gonna be viewed as super sacred by a not-minor amount of people and maybe that's fine: -an rear end in a top hat who a fair amount of his career was built on attacking others is dead and being called a 'great thinker' and a 'legend' who taught people about ethics. There is a scale, but that doesn't mean it's an all or nothing scale. sexpig by night fucked around with this message at 18:06 on May 27, 2018 |
