But Leftypol told me dissolving all cultures was based…

>>38905
dissolving all cultures in a materialist way is based
dissolving all cultures in a humanist way is undialectic immaterial reactionary essentialist nonsense

>>38906
Cope. Even the ussr didn’t unite its members in the former way and you know that.

I mean I certainly see it as a feudal mode of production as far as the underlying economic logic goes.

Since fascism as an ideology is not fundamentally concerned with economics I suppose its possible it could be both, but it seems kind of muffled to me to be honest.

>>38909
oh no, what ever will i do? i dont really care… all cultures WILL be dissolved.

it's probably the autist that think even having the option of going melee or having (1) melee ennemy type makes the games bad

>>38780
>Barely any games are like that.
Except dozen other games in the same franchise?

They fixed 'every' misconception about the multiplayer tho…

played only the multiplayer. aesthetics aside it was pretty fun but the body shield mechanic and melee executioons comes off as very bizarre and clunky considering how polished everything else is. also i get that it's probably not the most trivial thing to fix but they had 12 different fucking games to iterate on this and the spawns are still retarded

You're a noob is the move man, its fucking BO6

These games were never even good. I surprised people still buy this garbage every year. Call of Duty 4 arguably ruined fps games forever.

In Cold War you literally get brainwashed via MK ultra lmao

>genocidal imperialist mishmash of a thousand worlds and peoples who spread invasive species across everything they touch and build hyper-militarized city eating megastructures to assist in the domination and consumption of newly conquered worlds
That's exactly how I remember life under socialism, I personally was genocided at least 15 times.

its just general dystopian schlock, 1984, Anthem, Fahrenheit 451, all lib dystopias look the same because they're lacking in material analysis.

i do find the combine really interesting however, they have ostensibly replaced currency with rationing, and abolished private property within their direct control, but it is clear they have some kind of class system of different species/engineered bureaucrats (the advisors). they have a pseudo military rank system with the citizens at the bottom, the civil protection in between, and the trans-humans at the top (of the human clade) but even the highest ranking trans-humans, the overwatch elite, effectively serve the same purpose as any other trans-human, suggesting the combine are only interested in assimilating other species insofar as it contributes to their bio-engineered hyper specialisation and division of labour.

the developers definitely did take the aesthetics of post-soviet countries into account when designing the combine, (see the beta poster in picrel) however i sincerely doubt this was done with any conscious political intent, but was a side effect of them changing the setting of the game from an american style city, into a post-soviet eastern bloc inspired city early into the development, they had done this specifically because they already decided that the citadel would be the site of the final confrontation, and they wanted it to stand out from the scenery around it so it would always look ominous, looming in the distance. because of this the art director who was from sofia, bulgaria, suggested they based city 17 on their hometown because it had no skyscrapers at the time and so would have a nice contrast of the giant citadel against the skyline. i imagine the eastern european and post soviet influences on the art direction simply continued from there.

also i would like to point out that the architecture actually created by the combine themselves, rather than assimilated from previous owners, is much more alien and not particularly comparable to any real world counterpart, certainly not a soviet allegory.

If anything the old soviet buildings are what represents humanity in terms of architecture, and the devs basically say as much in the commentary. The combine walls and the citadel are meant to impose themselves on the familiar human setting like an infection taking over an organism. That contrast doesn't really make sense if the post-soviet aesthetics are supposed to also convey "totalitarianism" or something like that.

It's an anti-civ game primarily. It is about reestablishing people's control over their own destinies and not enslavement to the machine. All species are free to live together, just not as tools.

Your mistake is looking for common sense in Warhammer.
You might as well try to look for common sense in Blame! or Skibidi Toilet.

>>38888
Blame? Why that comic?

One sentence rageslop threads like this should be a bannable offense.

Ya he's right but you can just convince the humans to let the ghouls in

>>38804
I mean ghouls are humans too lol. The ghouls ended up killing the inhabitants of Tenpenny Tower when you let them in. Was Roy Phillips in the right?

Finding out the ghouls slaughtered everyone after you finish quest peacefully is my favorite moment of Fallout 3. The one time the game has balls to pull the rug from under the player.

>>38802
He did nothing wrong.
