Just played this game, absolute pro capitalist propaganda, I'd rather play Fortnite than this garbage hollow shit of a game. And let me not start of the garbage gameplay that is so half baked and half assed. The story is bare of any meaning or whatever the fuck.

Not to mention that it doesn't really seem to be critical of communism at all based on what I've played so far.

Compare to bioshock which from the very start is like "we had an idea and it failed tremendously"

>>26432The message at the end of the game is that communism is utopian and will always fail while "showing" the liberal alternative as being preferable if not put on a pedestal. So no there's no "both sides" messaging. This game was what Call of Duty is for beating the America drum as a criticism of communism in general by berating everything and every aspect of communism; in other words this game is a liberal propaganda piece.
No.26436
>>26433In Bioshock you're also taught to treat the little sisters well and basically not be an asshole. I fear you have an inability to critically engage with art.

Also, the fact that everyone has an American accent is obnoxious, you don't have to go full Metro and have everyone with stereotypical Slav accents but if you're not going to do that then at least some nice and clean Britishy accents like Chernobyl or similar.
Overall the game was ok, not great not terrible, it also crashed during loading in one place (multiple reloads) and needed to reload from earlier save, and another time it soft locked during loading and needed to restart. We also got stuck on terrain and died to enemies/needed to reload a few times.
Overall, fairly bizarre design decisions.

watching the VoDs of Moist Critical playing it, I think I might play if there's ever a mod that reworks the dialogue around having a silent protagonist, and just making the game less wordy in general, since it kinda babies you out of piecing the lore together yourself. Unless you have a very good reason for it protagonists shouldn't speak outside of cutscenes. They should've done the Portal thing and just let the glove do the talking.
