sexpig by night posted: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. 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. WampaLord posted:In addition, it does things like play Ride (not Rise, dammit) of the Valkyries when you are doing the helicopter gun mission and I'm pretty sure we're meant to think that Jason is hearing that song in his head because he's gone all war crazy. I also think that's another mission where you rescue a different friend who reacts like a normal person to everything Jason is doing (holy poo poo dude you got a big war boner right now, that's hosed up!) same. I never got intentional malice in the story of the game that i have some people say it has. it hosed up its execution of some interesting ideas much like bioshock infinite hosed up the execution of their ideas.

sexpig by night posted: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. 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.

Alaois posted:the brief time I played Far Cry 5 it gave me the feeling of a movie that was in development hell and passed around between different directors and editors to try and salvage something out of it, so you have these deathly serious cutscenes interspersed with disjointed, frenetic open world gameplay and irreverent jokey dialogue being piped into your ear and South Park-esque mission intros for recreating a famous stuntman's stunts and nothing about the game felt like it was a coherent, focused project made by humans well thats far cry in a nutshell. only 2 goes the full serious route. its why i got annoyed at the waypoint review. i like Austin but it was never gonna be mafia 3(a great game) and a chud killing sim with deep serious conversations with no humor.

Those could both be very solid characters but...yea just it all got lost in the vague soup of clashing flavors of the story. this. the whole "make it non linear, doesnt work that well. it doesn't help faith is weakest area of the three. here entire era is boring as crap with some ok segments. I did her segment first because she was the one i saw the least in marketing but bleh. the game heavly pushes you to johns area first but idk.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:I'm getting deja vu to discussing Death Wish 3 where there's definitely satire but not everyone was in on the joke. Far Cry 3 clearly wanted to do something with the "white savior" story, but it loses the plot pretty quickly and there were definitely people involved who just thought it was all awesome. 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. khwarezm posted:I haven't played it and I've heard a lot about how Mafia suffers badly from repetition, but what specifically about the open world damaged the game for you? yeah its the repition, which works story wise and thematicaly but it kills the pacing a bunch. ok so each main target has 2 underboss types. you destroy and gently caress up each under bosses thing and then kill or turn the under boss. it works because of the whole MACV SOG type poo poo. slowly killing the big bads support and its fun for a while because i loved the gun play but its not for everyone.

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. he relies on people not being knowledgble in the fields he talks about it and then he just uses words and says logic a bunch. like i dont know poo poo about animal psychology/biology. so i could theoretically buy into his bullshit about lobsters. I do however know about the holocaust and history academic field. so whenever he tries to be a historian, he fucks up grandly and it shows he doesn't know how to approach poo poo.

I have been on a flawed game streak and right now i have mostly be slowly plodding through dragon age 2 (i played through twice years ago) and i honestly enjoy it more then i did then. i like alot of the ideas and themes it tries to work with and i personally like "smaller more contained" stories. the whole qunari plot line is great as are a few others but the game was rushed to hell and back and it shows. inquisition was pretty good too but with bioware being forced to work on Not-Destiny. i doubt they will last.

It's bad in shooters and it's even worse in brawlers where you need situational awareness. It's what put me off Senua's Sacrifice even if that game is quite good for what it is. this. as someone who disliked the other god of war games(kratos being a giant prick plus the gameplay style) i am genuinely enjoying the new god of war. the combat is fun once you get the hang of it and the story isnt bad for what it is. the BOY and kratos are a make a fun and interesting pair and i think it does a pretty good job of showing the various themes and poo poo.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Part of the problem with the discussion is the actual real issue with that scene skews close enough to that that it can get muddled as a single general opinion. And I do think, aside from a faulty setup, that the movie itself is quite good. The actual issue with the scene in question is with her keeping the crew in the dark on the plan serves no purpose. They are it for the Resistance, and it's a plan with a future that a despairing and desperate crew can get behind. As of the movie's setup, all anyone can otherwise see including the audience is that they are just going to run down the fuel tank with no plan at all. Maybe give the crew at least some kind of inference or instruction that there's an operation going, because apparently several people have tried to bail in escape pods already under the assumption there isn't one, and it causes a near-shipwide mutiny in the end under said general assumption of there being no plan this. my other issue was the whole finn and rose plot line. i liked finn a ton in TFA but they just give him the same arc again but this time love conquers all or some poo poo.

business hammocks posted:The question of how much Star Wars or other franchises that use a fascist aesthetic has influenced the nazis of today is really worth asking. Like the video points out, fascism has always prioritized aesthetics, partially because it is about feeling as much as doctrine, but today's nazi teens and slovenly 30-somethings come from a culture that fetishizes movies and other media productions to the point where they called themselves "gamers" before they were nazis. It's not too much at all to say that their idea of how to be a nazi comes from movies and tv shows. possibly. i put alot the blame on irony poisoning and impotent rage with no good outlet. dumb kid goes on chan board way to much and thinks he is cool and edgy and eventually starts to believe all of that poo poo genuinely after awhile. its not always the case but i know a decent amount of examples from personal experience. also god is dead and media/companies/fandoms/etc have replaced him. also its really poo poo cosplay at that. good medivel/renissanse/whatever cosplay costs and arm and leg. i know because my gf and i like the stuff alot. he is wearing a lovely helmet with his dress shirt underneith.
