i actually know a decent amount about early renaissance art lmao what the hell is this neg

He’s a Gigantamax’d Voltorb.

And all that well-deserved criticism does not change the premise: BOTW was a better crafted video game than Horizon, all else being equal.

Yes, they were - the industry is desperately trying to catch up to BOTW as we speak.

Oh and speaking of cowards, fuck Dave Portnoy too.

I’m just here to tell Jim Spanfeller, Paul Maidment and the rest of the cowards to get fucked.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed…

“What about the rights of that *checks notes* giant multinational oil corporation?”

lol looks at game with overtly political themes and iconography and says “There’s nothing to see here.”

I’m somewhat sympathetic to the notion that not all games need to be given deep examination with a harsh, political lens. Like, if its Super Mario Bros, yeah, you might be going a bit too far by comparing it to class warfare or something.

Aye, the game might as well just start quoting Dirty Harry if its going to be that transparent about the bullshit.

It’s only a “shockingly bold move for that part of the world” if you don’t know anything about the gender-equal Kurds and their robust use of women fighters and women-led brigades. We have no idea whether she’s “quite an extraordinary woman” or if this is just a society like the real-world one they very obviously drew…

I fully realized this was a Call of Duty game when, after the mentioned London shootout, one of the main characters looked directly into the camera and said “if only our hands weren’t tied by politics, laws, or rules and could deal with these threats the way they need.”

When you make a game that is trying to make a statement by having a suicide bombing as your first sequence, you make your reviews into this.

The fact that your entire argument is based around the dumb-assed assumption that socialists can’t act as individuals doesn’t help you not seem like the clown that you are, especially when you’re conflating that from the op.

Wait? Sort of like capitalism? Also, you’re dumb as shit to conflate socialism with totalitarian governments.

Thankfully, capitalism has never been responsible for poverty, starvation, or genocide.

ahaha so like... you don’t understand socialism as a philosophy? or what?

Heck yeah, I’m truly heartened to know the game deals with labor and class so openly. So many games limit their critiques of capitalism to “big corporation EVIL” and leave it at that. I get your frustration with the way it ignores racism & sexism, but I also kinda thing maybe it’s for the best that they limited their…

I get to be a gun-slinging space Socialist?
