I do appreciate this, but I'm going to sit this one out. I have no need to make myself angry or sad. As far as I'm concerned this game doesn't exist. I know Conroy did his best and did an excellent job. Arkham Knight and Injustice 2 are his last roles as far as I am concerned.
In a hypothetical case this game does exist, the best way I can describe is like having a filet mignon with a bunch of junk foods
Yeah, some devs don't seem to realize that it's hard to buy the "she's so vulnerable, look how badly that act of violence affected her" narrative when she's got a body count that'd make Pol Pot give her a wary glance. See also Croft, Lara.
Well, new Lara Croft anyway. Old Lara has that cheeky streak like so many protagonists that gives the impression it’s only murder when other people do it.
Well, most developers today are off the 'that violence makes you think though, ey' kick that they were on a decade ago. But Naughty Dog (or I guess Druckmann) thought it was still 2013. Which is odd because the first game came out a decade ago and has a far better take on violence in games than the sequel by simply not putting so much emphasis on it. I mean, it's there for Joel to ignore and for Ellie to go 'what the fuck' in response, but it doesn't obnoxiously hinge its characters or plot on it.
Mostly seems like a dishonored like game, but honestly I'm just surprised its still alive.
So the only hero they treat with respect is also the only female hero in the Justice League. Meanwhile they totally shit on Batman, the hero that made Rocksteady the studio it is today. Nevermind sexism, these writers (probably that Sweet Baby Inc company) just hate men flat out. They have no respect to legacy, to history, to anything, the only thing they care about is tearing down male characters regardless of who they are.
Hahaha
, no! I'm not coming to the defense of this game, but that's a load of big bull and you know it. The world's not going to end for men nor women in any part of the world, just because of a bad product. They're still plenty from the West from the big, medium, or small. There's still plenty of guy focused action movies that come out now and today. The Beekeeper just came out a few weeks ago. Not to forget that there are plenty of AA and smaller indie games from the West that treat men and women will respect and don't rely on sexist tropes. Unintentional or not.
I saw that movie and it was terrible. Imagine if John Wick was written by a 12 year old that liked bees.
Speak for yourself. I consider it pretty good. The fact the movie is doing great says otherwise. I find it better than all the John Wick sequels. Mainly 4.
