The intro cutscene got me hating the Strogg
The drop scene was ahead of its time
It literally scared the shit out of me
Also Homeworld is king of the One Cutscene Investment
Holy shit
And the chaos of the assault going FUBAR and ending up as the only marine alive made me hate the Strogg even more
Sure, eye for an eye makes the world blind
But which world?
I thought that was kind of the point, cuz once everyone is blind...they ain't fucking with eachother
Speaking of the whole world going blind, anyone read Blindness?
No
Shit's good
I ain’t
Basically there's a plague that sweeps through an area rendering everyone blind
I hate these guys
They start quarantining everyone in an asylum and the idea is that they're meant to get properly fed and supported by the state, but basically things start to slowly break down
socialism?
difference?
"You are sick, so you can't leave this area, in return you get food" vs "we will redistribute all resources"
idk, think you are just splitting hairs
sounds like socialism to me.
Also Quake Wars is neato but W:ET is bae
"state will take care of you, stay here, be good, god is governemnt government is god.
"If you share something or care for another person that's socialism reeee"
Also government support in the novel breaks down pretty quickly
right, just like socialism does
So does the social structure inside the asylum
It's a very dark look at how humans treat each other, and how they'll exploit the system
You can look at it as an allegory, sure
dark? realistic?
Realism of it is debatable
Quake Wars needs rebooting
Some things are very convenient
I'd bring back Return to Castle Wolfenstein first tbh
well I mean, if people treating eachother like shit is normal, what is this "dark look"?
I'm not going to spoil the whole book
when a lion manages to catch a gazelle and eats it, is that dark? Cuz I'd say that's just normal.
