and we were done with this shit because it ran out of steam and lacked any real evidence other than a few isolated examples, nothing as widespread as the original articles were suggesting

naughty dog apparently wasn't and throughout all these years they kept obsessing about being called out, so here we are

it's also why a war criminal and mercenary in uncharted 2 calls out nathan drake for shooting his soliders, despite the fact that they were also war criminals and mercenaries who've been doing horrible things to people the entire game so nathan was in the right on this

it did lead to one of the most, unintentionally hilarious moments in gaming for me:

In Rise of the Tomb Raider you're stopping a bad organization from trying to take over the world. You do basically this by mercilessly and gratuitously killing and executing their forces one by one. And honestly, the feeling of being a predator, lurking in the shadows and coming out with your climbing pythons to fk a mofo up, is really well done.

But then at the end Lara has some big speech about the big bad leader not having the right to use the McGuffin to decide who lives or dies and I was just rolling on the floor laughing after going an entire game of meticulously crafted killing sequences.

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider there's an early bit where an entire town gets wiped out because Lara did an unintentionally bad thing that was heavily foreShadowed as being a bad thing in both the game itself and the marketing leading up to it

and there's this kid hanging on for dear life as a river of debris is rushing below him, and the game just has to point out, in color coded subtitles so that you the player perfectly understands, that he was calling for his mom before plunging to his death

the staging was so hamfisted and on-the-nose that, again, I just laughed my ass off

the original Nier has Kainé in it, who is the best and that's all the argument anyone needs

the rebooted tomb raider games are such a mess

they desperately want to be uncharted, but don't understand what made uncharted fun, so instead they fumble around with being a never ending origin story that ammounts to just finding new ways to break lara

but they just do everything to make me not like them

radical idea, we can consider video games an art form because much like movies, art and books

they have their own brand of kitsch

An exploitation film is a film that attempts to succeed financially by exploiting current trends, niche genres, or lurid content.

the difference betwee AAA "prestige" games and explotation films is the latter were cheap b-movies

but they both share the plot cheapness

what is TLOU2 if not an explotation film
this is why I mentioned Crash earlier, or I guess Joker from last year is a good comparison too

they want to be "about things" but either completely miss the point or misrepresent real world systems and situations to the point of grossness/hilarity/take your pick

thing with an 'exploitation film' is that the filmmakers weren't trying to make it more than it was. there was no grand narrative of "yeah we wanna make a deliberately unfun game that's ABOUT STUFF" and the like.
they were made for people to ogle at and shell out cash for it at the drive-thru or cheap theaters

and it had no ambitions beyond just making a buck, which is at least honest

I guess a similar situation is how Quiet from MGSV was touted as "yeah there's a real narrative reason for why she looks like this"

vs

"yeah I just like girls" when Yoko Taro was talking about 2B's design from Nier: Automata

and like "yeah that's fair Mr. Yoko Taro"

The original Nier is an amazing story, but the gameplay is 100% jaaaaaank. And to get the final endings, you need to collect all of the weapons in the game and upgrade them to the max level. This requires doing the majority of the sidequests, which are mostly boring "collect 10 boar asses" affairs, and farming the rare upgrade materials, which is 100% RNG bullshit that you'll never be able to do without a guide to track down the spawn locations.

That's why I'm super psyched for the remake. People will get to experience the story, but the lessons learned in Automata's gameplay and quest design will hopefully be applied to make the process of hitting the finale not a complete slog.

the uncharted games upset me because uncharted waters was a great sailing/pirating sim game and then this guy shows up with his boring protagonist and wants to take over the use of the word uncharted

you know what gets me about joel and tlou 1

i've more and more gotten the impression that it's most die hard fans think of joel as a positive character, a hero if you will

and the thing is as much as it would be easy to write them off as dumbasses (and most are), from what a friend has been saying about the game while watching an lp

it's bad at selling that joel is a horrible person

and i know this is the case, because that's literally the narrative i've heard about the game prior to this year when a friend started watching an lp of it and talking about the events of the game and how much of a shit he is that the game just glosses over
