on topic I quite enjoyed the first last of us so hope this one is good too

i dont pay attention to political commentary in the storylines in my video games i play even when its blatantly clear whats in the game

for example bioshock infinite, and final fantasy 7 and X have absurdly blatant political commentary in the story if you look for it (and you dont have to look hard), didnt stop them from being some of the best games ever made


This one is worth looking into unless illogical / forced continuation of the story line doesn't matter to you. But even if that's the case, this is a story driven game so the story should be good, feel logical etc.

For many people that liked the first game this new direction hurts immersion and basically feels like a political agenda shoved into their face.

I have no tolerance for stories in games anymore. That is probably why i don't care about this. After the last season of game of thrones I'm not wasting my time with television anymore either. I don't want to read a book, i either want to pvp or i want something like Dark Souls where you are thrown in and learn about things on the fly.

The only thing worth a shit recently has been the Watchmen series on HBO. Very political.

The first bioshock was a critique on libertarianism and Atlas Shrugged. The third was a biting commentary on nationalism. I think they explored these ideas pushed to their very extremes and gone wrong pretty well. Infinite becomes quite a psychological experience. I didn't play 2.

yeah I actually like how they push things sometimes to see them in their “purist” form. goes to show that compromise is necessary irl to maintain society and order. i would never want to live in a purely libertarian or commie state.

i just like that when it was my childhood it was more of “i have to beat this group to win the game” rather than making it all pseudo-political commentary

growing up can suck

i mean that seems to be a fair assessment; in the end its up to the users to critique the game based on their experiences. if we were actually in some sort of zombie apocalypse im fairly sure some sort of tyrannical force would take charge anyway

also back on topic:

I'm gonna let youtube comments do the heavy lifting on describing what you just witnessed
I will say, youtube seems to have some pretty inconsistent standards and enforcement when it comes to "hate speech".


Comments have been turned off... of course they have.

yeah i think comment sections will be canceled fully on 2020

ironic that in a lot of instances comment section sentiment will differ significantly from the position presented in news articles

IMO a spot on assessment here, HeelvsBabyface sums it all up. At least watch this before buying this game I'd say

It was a gold mine while it lasted

I think the top comment was just the pretty normal meme "And then one day, for no reason at all, people voted Hitler into power"
