Really? A bit of mood music and walk thru a generic warzone scene pulls at you that much?HalfChance said:
Honestly if they would have showed more than a no context warzone, it wouldn't have seemed so much like a leftist fap game.Eldarion said:Really? A bit of mood music and walk thru a generic warzone scene pulls at you that much?HalfChance said:
Don't get me wrong, I thought it was pretty good. An alien crashes onto our world and gets caught up in humanity.....I just knew it was gonna be a walk thru a warzone. These artsy types always use war to "display the true dark nature of the human condition" or some crap.
I didn't expect the escort mechanic, that was cool.
I wouldn't say it was thought provoking for me, but I agree with you on feeling a connection to the family. Was just very well executed; it was a strange unsettling feeling I got when I noticed I was starting to slow down, I wasn't quite sure at first.HalfChance said:
Alien ship falls to earth, earthlings gather to kill it, what more setup is needed for a warzone?ImmortalDrifter said:

I know what you mean, when he started to slow down just the tiniest bit I started to worry a bit. As he began to slow down, it dawned on me just what was going on.mindlesspuppet said:

It's standard "horror and loss" anti-war propaganda. In the same way that games like homefront are right-wing fap games. An antithesis really.Trolldor said:
Hmmm... that makes sense... perhaps I just jumped to assumptions because I watch a ridiculous number of cheesy sci-fi movies.Midnight Crossroads said:
Silly, it's leftist because you don't have a gun, and can't bite off all the soldiers head. duh.[/sarcasm]Trolldor said:
Horror and lose you say? Pretty sure I've played war games that show innocent people being slaughtered... so those must be dual-wing fap fests, right?ImmortalDrifter said:
Indeed there are, it's called congress. But more on topic, I'm not stating that war isn't bad. I'm stating that throwing it in as a stale attempt to garner sympathy and sadness is really pathetic. The war in this game has no context or reason, it's just there to try and make you sad. Also, in the Call of Duty style games I'm sure you're referencing, the tone of the game makes it right-wing it isn't "oh no look at the poor people" it's "I'm killing all of these civilians to protect -insert generic western country here- " or "They killed all of these people, I'M GONNA MAKE THEM PAYYYYY".mindlesspuppet said:
