Exactly. And the Israeli part of the “joke” doesn’t fully work either. Only 48% of Israelis want to live in a Jewish only homeland, so that’s a minority same as the amount of Austrians who like Hitler would be.

“Look, if we can get along with each other, then you can endure our cringe, insensitive behavior.”
The “joke” is that Austrians are antisemitic because Hitler was Austrian. Its quite dumb.
That’s not at all what happened?
Sobeck was obviously more important, but she didn’t have the ability to turn her genius into actual results all on her own (and certainly didn’t have the leadership qualities to drive such things)
Yeah, exactly. It feels like they took a complex character and made him more bland and one-note in the sequel.
There’s audio logs in forbidden west where he cancels projects that are having an actual impact to divert resources to projects that are making him more money.
That’s not at all what happened?
Yeah, and after taking credit for Elizabet’s work, he then attempted to sue her into the ground by claiming she was using his technology in her new venture she set up after she left. Ted would have fit in quite well with the Zeniths, if he wasn’t a supermegleomaniac (which was why he was never offered or took the…
I’m seeing a lot of people talking about how they thought that mission was pointless or that it needed the visual confirmation that he was indeed a gnarly monster... but I personally agree with the creative team, I thought it was kinda brave to pull off that twist and for them to say “no, aloy wouldn’t actually want…
“Before Zero Dawn and the Faro Plague, the Earth was on its way to baking itself to death. Sure, he was more of a spokesman and financier than anything, but his efforts were instrumental to solving climate change.”
Fixed that for you.
Every year the plot of H:ZD inches away from “That sure is stupid” to “Yeah this would probably happen”
I’m obsessed with Iain M. Banks’ Culture series, and I always find it hilarious when people like Elon Musk name their rockets etc., after his ships. Dude wrote about a gigantic socialist space utopia, and the antagonists were often militant entities or hoarders of wealth. It’s like Ted Cruz thinking he could be…
Private sector has been involved in military affairs and wars probably since the Sumerians.
“A**-hat surprisingly turns out to still be an a**-hat.”
Luckey plague doesn’t have the same ring to it as Faro plague
Really? Why? The arc was pretty endearing - I found the intro playing as young Aloy pretty genius. As an adult she wants to belong, but not at any price. Sure there is a bit of the cliche rebel/teenager trope there, but it’s a video game. She is loyal to her friends, open to new experiences... pretty likeable to me,…
If you somehow missed Beta literally spelling it out that no, the Zenith did NOT send the signal, then I’m hesitant to really take any opinion in this article seriously.
Really don’t get the criticisms of the story of Forbidden West here as though somehow it’s a sudden leap from Zero Dawn when almost all of it is set up in Zero Dawn (what happened to the Odyssey, what was the signal that turned GAIA into rogue AIs, what is Sylens trying to obtain from HADES), or the idea somehow this…
