Nah. The answer to our weakened democracy is not to weaken it further.

One of the downsides of all the Gawker sites is that people like to “pile on” when they deem a comment worthy of a moral crusade. As if your thoughts on China were changing anything anywhere.

Fair enough, I never assumed that hosts could exist in real life based on any technology we have currently.

Does sentience need to be complex to exist? What if there’s a much more complex form of sentience than us? What if to those beings, we could be controlled via tablet, because they understand our inner workings as we understand the hosts? Are we no longer sentient in that case?

Care to elaborate?

Most disappointing part of the finale:

Are we not also slaves to our genetic code? Free will may be more illusory than you think. Whether the genesis of a consciousness is intelligent design or random chance, we’re all built around a formula, with bits of improvisation.

Yeah, it kills me. That ending was pitch perfect and subtle in a way no other game narrative has ever hit, in my opinion.

I agree with you to a point, but I feel like a sequel to something is best in the hands of its creators.

I’m pretty sure by the end of the game she couldn’t give less of a shit what happens to the drake brothers. With her ending, I could absolutely see her becoming a protagonist. She was never even evil in the first place. Sam Drake showed up hungry for treasure and glory and started indiscriminately murdering her men.

It could absolutely be compelling, but the question is, will it be -necessary-

I really hated the Unfinished Swan. It dropped it’s one brilliant mechanic after the first chapter and then became a slog to play for the remainder. I also found the story to be super lacking.

Uncharted isn’t exactly known for breaking genre convention either with it’s plot. I’m curious where the difference is for you?

I mean, sure. The plot aside from that was pretty rote. But it was a decent story that was told perfectly. And the characters were incredibly well realized. The zombie cliche stuff was just a backdrop.

“the old badass making up for failing the one they loved when it mattered most.

Maybe, but the story was thematically complete. I can’t imagine what they can say with this game that won’t detract from the pitch perfect resolution of the first game.

I had the same instinct. God, Inquisition was a slog. Between that and fallout 4, I wonder if that’s the direction the industry is heading in.

I mean, the Trump campaign was basically just “Gamergate for the everyman.” Cries of media collusion and bias, a fear that their culture is changing in ways they don’t like, lining up behind a right wing figurehead, hateful extremists who use the majority of moderates as a smokescreen to sow chaos.
