I ended up giving somebody my copy of 4 before I finished it, which is fine
Lol
I played plenty of it
I've a copy of 5 coming from gamefly, if I happen by a redbox that has it first, I might pick it up from there
There's a wing suit thats a lot of fun to play with
The thing that bothers me about game reviews from websites, they don't like fun anymore
They're too hung up on guns, politics, and ideologies to realize video games can still just be fucking dumb fun.
they got to make the most of that master's degree in marxist shitposting
Waypoint is now openly talking about marxism on their podcast
the editor in chief mentioned a facebook group he follows about southern American marxists, "because they're the real proletariat"
The fuck is marxist shitposting?
making everything about gender, race or class
Maybe farcry is about you being an antihero who kills everything.
So faggotry?
ideological faggotry
The worse kind
Moral faggotry isn't much better, but I find that at least moral faggotry is sincere.
I want to share a prime example of this, if only for the fact that I used to work with this guy
this is LITERALLY the first two sentences of his article
Faggotry is bad
Don’t be a faggot
Tom Cannon is a black Starcraft player
There's a black guy who plays Starcraft proffesionally named Tom Cannon
that is an actual published article on a games website
Tom Cannon, who happens to be black, plays starcraft
Polygon took the worst from all the gaming websites and made the worst.
Yes
Just the god damned worst.
They’re a black hole
I'm a real meritocracy kind of guy, if somebody is the best writer, that's who should be writing.
Not their friends, not just anyone whose black and trans gendered
Somebody who writes about a games, should know video games.
Even if they only know the most casual phone games or the sims, at least that is something.
I often feel Polygon doesn't like video games at all.
Just in general, its' a video game website that hates video games.
Unless the games are made by their friends or feature diversity as they define diversity.
```For example, some might point to Quantic Lab’s finding that, out of all the genres, women are least likely to play tactical shooters as proof that female player don’t like violent games. But another recent survey found that, upon further investigation, it’s safer to assume that women just find guns kinda boring and prefer to murder virtual people through other methods. ```
