Video Games : Game Harder JFG Edition [ARCHIVED] Video Game • Page 5

We have!?!?

 

You suck. You were quiet cos your gf? We had many jokes at your expense because your mic was muted?

 

woowwwwwwwwww anti-JFG material @CarpetElf

 

my gf yells at me for gaming too hard at least 3 times a night

 

Ikr tbh I’m disgusted by @CarpetElf

 

Oh yeah i didnt have a mic that time hahah

 

Oh now the mute remembers

 

Bored af at work. Stumbled on a TLOU2 spoiler-free video demonstrating violence in the game. I winced so hard. This game looks absolutely fucking brutal. I’ve not seen anything like that in a game before. It looks genuinely real at times...damn. I feel like this is a move to make you feel the weight behind every encounter.

 

I'm not into stuff like that, at all, but the idea that everyone says it's some of the best storytelling in games makes me want to play it so I'm really torn on whether or not I want to play it.

 

I figured it was gonna be that way when the inital trailer had that girl’s arms broken with a hammer

 

The Last of Us Part 2 review: We’re better than this

Yeah idk about this one

 

Funny because I don't think we're better than this

 

I think people just want to be like "we can be amazing humans!" and let that detract from the game. Like, I also think humans can be great, but um, we're also not living in that world so your point is moot.

 

I feel like there’s something to be said about how graphic it is, because you’re doing the same shit in every other game these days. Just because you don’t see the aftermath doesn’t make what you did any less gruesome. Seems to me like the purpose of this is again, to show the weight your actions actually carry. This isn’t COD where you endlessly gun down people without blinking an eye. This is far less detached. And taking people out of their little bubble is apparently too much.

 

This is why people dunk on Polygon

 

Also, America as a culture is full of gory, violent shit, not to mention that video games is full of gory, violent shit. So why the hand wringing or the “Are we better than this?!” takes?

 

Because it’s a hugely anticipated release and it’ll get them more attention lmao. You literally can blow people’s heads off and shoot civilians in COD. You execute people online, stabbing them in every which way before point-blank shooting them in the face while puffing a cigar. Cos it looks cool. But hey, that’s just realism. Boots on the ground. The realities of terrorism and real life. With TLOU, a game about the apocalypse, we can do better. Get outta here.

 

??? why

 

Because they talk out of their arse

 

It’s so absurd. Like do expect people in the apocalypse to be modest and understanding? People are fighting for resources but nah, let’s tone it down.

 

"This just in: violence just added to video games in 2020! Jack Thompson steps up to the plate to destroy the ESRB and the games you love!"

 

Lot of reductionist takes getting thrown out about a pretty thoughtful piece of writing on the subject of whether or not this game is actually saying anything real or meaningful through its use of violence. Ah well.

 

Delegitimizing the honest opinion of an LGBTQ woman is also not the best look. Ah, well.

 

Jesus Christ - nobody mentioned her sexual preference/gender and I know that I personally have no fucking clue who wrote it. I didn’t even know it was a woman. I didn’t even read their name. Now you’re reaching. Seriously? I don’t agree with their views - it has ZERO to do with anything even remotely LGBTQ.
