Especially AAA

2017-11-07 12:47:24 UTC  

Idk there's a season pass and Bethesda isn't that great of a publisher now so it could all be dlc

2017-11-07 12:48:05 UTC  

If the DLC is *good*, I'll take another look. Not until the reviews

2017-11-07 12:48:24 UTC  

ToB was everything a DLC *should* be

2017-11-07 12:48:29 UTC  

Yea probably just get the GOTY edition next year

2017-11-07 12:49:22 UTC  

I don't like the lack of enemy or weapon diversity in TNC

2017-11-07 12:49:33 UTC  

It's a step down from TNO

2017-11-07 12:49:46 UTC  

Fun guns were made bland

2017-11-07 12:50:05 UTC  

Ubersoldaten are no longer hulking monstrosoties, but weaker shotgunners. There was a weaker shotgunner in TNO, too, but it was separate from bigger, more menacing Ubersoldaten.

2017-11-07 12:51:22 UTC  

They had some pretty scary sound design but yea they just felt like annoying to fight

2017-11-07 12:51:35 UTC  

Now it's been "streamlined"

2017-11-07 12:51:40 UTC  

*groan*

2017-11-07 12:52:23 UTC  

I don't know why the enemies are so lacklaster after Doom 2016 or even TNO/ToB

2017-11-07 12:52:31 UTC  

People are still saying it's really good because if they say it's bad they think there supporting nazi's or something

2017-11-07 12:52:48 UTC  

Uh... what?

2017-11-07 12:53:03 UTC  

oh, I get it now

2017-11-07 12:53:19 UTC  

Yea lol I was typing as you wrote your second thing

2017-11-07 12:54:08 UTC  

Kotaku? Yeah. Regular gamers? Nah

2017-11-07 12:55:17 UTC  

Maybe I opened up the Discussion page on steam and I saw "does this game have mixed reviews because of the alt-right"

2017-11-07 12:55:53 UTC  

In my experience with the left the hashtag #resistance and antifas are actually different factions. Hillary for former, certain Bernie supporters for the latter

2017-11-07 12:57:17 UTC  

Probably most Bernie supports aren't the violent type and hillary supporters are mostly women

2017-11-07 12:58:34 UTC  

The contradiction I couldn't get past in both *The New Order* and *The New Colossus* is this magical ancient Jewish hypertechnology that could automate all the jobs and cure cripples juxtaposed with a Social Darwinian ethnostate/empire.

2017-11-07 12:59:18 UTC  

Gotta discourage dysgenics, I guess.

2017-11-07 12:59:55 UTC  

Yea that was retarded and blaming white America for the German army taking over ???

2017-11-07 13:00:37 UTC  

I just feel like, once you have singularity tech to make humanity obsolete....

2017-11-07 13:01:47 UTC  

That's getting into Marxism, though.

2017-11-07 13:03:07 UTC  

Yea that's a blurry topic don't hear many people discussing it

2017-11-07 13:04:33 UTC  

Probably due to cognitive dissonance.

2017-11-07 13:05:48 UTC  

As for the whole blaming whites for Germans Taking Over America thing

2017-11-07 13:06:52 UTC  

The US wasn't "great" after winning WWII like in our timeline

2017-11-07 13:07:37 UTC  

It's a lot like *The Man In The High Castle*, which TNO/TNC is basically a ripoff of or homage to.

2017-11-07 13:08:11 UTC  

In that book IIRC, the US stayed isolationist and never really found its way out of the Great Depression.

2017-11-07 13:09:47 UTC  

What a lot of people don't realize about the Great Depression is that for a lot of people at the time, it was basically Marx's doomsday scenario of capitalism collapsing come true. People looked to radical new alternatives to liberalism/capitalism/democracy.

2017-11-07 13:11:19 UTC  

Fascism/Natsoc was devised as a right-wing alternative to socialism/communism.

2017-11-07 13:11:46 UTC  

That still acknowledged liberal capitalism/democracy had "failed", and grand collectivist projects were the future.

2017-11-07 13:15:17 UTC  

It was the 1930s. Classical/Austrian School and Labor Theory of Value were mainstream economics.

2017-11-07 13:38:50 UTC  

@Imperishable_NEET I agree with everything you've just said about The New Colossus tbh. Was a fair step down in terms of gameplay variety and story.

2017-11-07 13:41:52 UTC  

Felt very bland when compared with how bombastic the 2009 game was, or even RTCW

2017-11-07 13:48:51 UTC  

That being said, I want them to continue and take the concept originally made in the New Order to it's logical extremes and moving the setting even more ahead of time.

2017-11-07 14:53:12 UTC  

I was afraid that they were gonna push way too much liberal bullshit, which they did at the beginning, but when you meet the communist B.J. roasts him which was kind of redeeming
