Is this a review of a videogame, or a review on the standard AAA post apocalyptic game template? It seems to me this piece focuses more on criticizing the tropes it uses than in the game itself.

With the gas damage buff to 4, I will be staying away from the Bunker.

Why do you comment on Kotaku?

They are unaware that their input is not as original as they think. 

Not an RPG at all. Straight up stealth action game.

The narrator talking about humanity made me notice that there aren’t any people in this, probably for a reason.

Ah, but it’s different, because we all love Totoro/Howl’s Moving Castle/Pom Poko, etc. (And seriously, if you don’t love Pom Poko, something is wrong with you.)

None of this will change my love for his work, but you’re absolutely right: there’s no such thing as a “more enlightened” creative.  They’re only human, and…

Sure, the movies were released and funded by a Hollywood company, but Peter Jackson, a New Zealand native, made the films in his home country with his Wellington-based studio. Plus, J. R. R.

To this day, in certain company I’ll say “What’ya buyin’?” and it will always prompt a laugh. Definitely a memorable performance.

Who shit in your cheerios this morning?

...Sure. OK Brian, sure. Japanese people like wrinkly Pikachu. Gripping stuff.

Yes. Perspectives that are shared amongst a wide group of people are called mores, which is what I am describing here.

You know what else someone should be able to do in a free society?

Because, depending on the reason, killing another human can be seen as a righteous and celebrated act, or at least a necessary evil. When we see something in media deviate from those ‘appropriate’ killings, such as in GTA like you describe, it feels like less of a deviant act than something has just about no…

In case the article and the above comments didn’t spell it out for you: There’s a difference between games that have rape in them and a game that’s ABOUT raping people. This one was the latter.
