Anybody here at leftypol love or hate the Postal series?

Coming from a guy who has been playing way too much Postal 2.

I wonder if Postal 4 is even worth it.

the new call of duty for example, why do people keep buying these capitalist garbage that glorifies war and paints the US as the good guys and everyone else as ~the bad ones~

We really are in a post woke era. I think it's quite cringe myself but it seems as if the chudsphere has won the culture war I guess. Even if their political figures are becoming more and more hated.

The show version is so bad. At least the video game version looked like she could actually scrap with mfs and had some semblance of actual humanity even while killing Joel. This version of Abby is just cruel and emotionally immature. The video game version of Abby literally didn’t derive any pleasure from killing Joel and didn’t take an eternity in killing Joel in front of his loved ones. In fact, game Abby even had to calm her own friends down to focus on the needs of her own people.

Amazon fucking butchered Abby and made her into a mindless knockoff meant to avoid whatever criticism coomers had about a woman looking like she could survive the shit she had to put up with. Fuck Amazon Abby.

Does leftypol play minecraft? I have no friends and wanted to start a new lan world

I was looking at some games for reference, and I found Silent Hill f. One thing that stunned me was how bad the game is designed.

The dialogue is bland and boring. Character lines reveal nothing and the conversation is horribly tense for no reason. The characters are young but nothing about them suggests that. It's like they are middle-aged people going through midlife crisis.

The animations are silly. Enemies react far later after being struck and their movement is repetitive. The atmosphere is horrible too. They used too much fog and darkness and blurring, they actually removed details from the game and because of that it looks monochromatic terrible blend.

Hinako has plot armor. Just when she meets her first monster, she conveniently finds a steel pipe right beside her feet to attack it with. There's a lot of reading for instructions in the game.

And the story is junk. Sakuko never said anything about wanting to live in a candy store instead of a shrine. In fact, she dies early in the game very quickly and her relationship to Hinako is shown to be negative further reinforcing you shouldn't care about her. But when Hinako finds her dead, a dramatic cutscene plays and where Hinako is sobbing after she moved Sakuko's body into a candy store, and it's there where she says Sakuko always wanted to live in a candy store. Later in the cutscenes, she clenches her fist in anger and says she will keep her promise to Sakuko. But what promise? Did I miss it? I'm sure there was no promise.

The level design its horrible and extremely linear in a strange fashion. I thought games that put roadblocks in your way to keep to the map are dead but in this one, there's a lot of blocked roads.

Overall I'd rate it:
2/5 – story
4/5 – graphics

Alright so hi hows everyone doing today, I hope youre doing well. I came here to write a mile-long post bitching about the state of Team Fortress 2, its design, and how commentary around its design has rapidly changed over the past few months.

To introduce people who don't know a shit about TF2; it's basically the game that set in stone the genre of "hero shooter" [Class Shooter] and how it should generally work. Prequels to Team Fortress 2, such as Team Fortress Classic, or Team Fortress [Quake Mod] do exist and show more barebones gameplay, but Team Fortress 2 did the concept so well that it's been solidified as the OG of the genre. The game has been subject to 9 years of pre-release closed-house development [1998 to 2007], 9 years of post-release open-house development in the form of regular updates [2008 to 2017], and then a further 8 going on 9 years of ignorance where there was basically no development and no novel… anything… in the TF2 community [2018 to present].

The biggest implication for (You), random passerby, is that TF2 is a game witha whole bunch of concepts and jargon that are thrown around within the community of TF2 that means something far more specific than what it does outside the TF2 community. For example, when discussing the game's design, "Competitive" is used not just to describe a moment in TF2 where player-versus-player competition is generally increased; be it the Valve-designed mechanic of Dominations [getting 4 kills on a player without said player killing you back, which puts a literal target over your head plus other aesthetics to encourage that player to target you and vice-versa], or the outright existence of organized competitive leagues. In TF2, "Competitive" is used as a shorthand for the rulesets generally used by competitive TF2 leagues. "Valve Competitive" is used as a shorthand for the "competitive TF2 que" that Valve had added in its ill-fated 2016 Meet-Your-Match update. The "Competitive Community" is a semi-existing strata of players who agree that competitive TF2 is good, and its implied at least some of them want "Competitive" to be TF2's main ruleset.

I'm not going to write the whole history, so if you ever have four fucking hours to yourself, I'd recommend watching this video by a local chud of the TF2 community: https://youtu.be/JNxg5stxlhk

There has been a deluge of games that seem to be what /v/ would call "Woke" that underperform or whatever but there always seems to be something that is woke that does well. I feel like this is just a good way to be stuck in a perpetual samsara where you get excited and deflated over shit that fails and yet I think that it doesn't really even matter that much in the end? Recent AtlasIntel polling has zoomers and even men in general vooting for democrats and in spite of the general haughty attitude from Marxist-Leninists and Anarchists, this does mean that they aren't entirely turned off by arbitrarily "woke" things, because there is some ugly ass people in subnautica 2 and shit but that doesn't seem to have moved the needle much at all in practical politics. Like, I unironically don't even get what the end-game is from anti-woke gamers who want every single woke game to flop from AAA to indie.
