I’m not sure what re really expects.

Ubisoft is like, trying to sell 10 million copies, and I suspect that in pursuit of that they want to make everything as vanillaly unoffensive as possible.

This is like expecting Disney to put in hard hitting social commentary into Black Panther, which they mostly avoided fairly deftly for the same reasons. They want Trump supporters to buy their shit too.

I haven't played Far Cry 5, but I'm assuming Black Panther is going to read like an ERA post compared to it. There's some strong political commentary littered throughout the poorly CG'd normal superhero schlock.

Expecting Ubi- "This Game Was Made By People Of All Backgrounds" -soft to insert any identifiable political stance is tantamount to self-harm.

[HardcoreRetro]

These people should play The 25th Ward instead.

Apparently insulting someone’s political ideology is hate speech.

That fucker got caught dismissing murder and advocating for it red handed, by saying they don't believe the tweet counts as hate speech. Should be a permanent ban tbh.

Taking a step back and looking at it: yeah anyone who says they’re happy someone died because of a different political ideology is stupid, but I don’t think he should have gone to jail for it.

I was talking about the ResetEra poster, not the guy who made the tweet. Hopefully the admins can alert the appropriate authorities so the poster can be punished in real life as well.

Thanks to the ReRe outrage dorks for reminding me to order FC5 so I can preload it tonight.  Your tears have helped sell at least one additional copy.  Keep up the good work.

Or maybe it's just an open world jankfest that's fun to play, same as the four previous Far Cry games.

Assign deep meaning to video games because your life has none, breh.

And calling anyone on Reject a "lib" is hilarious.  Those motherfuckers sprout boners at the thought of being able to suppress anything they dislike.

Oh wait, is this game even on Switch or is this one of those shitty devs that's jealous of Nintendo?

[benjipwns]

Um, Disney's Marvel's Black Panther was not a movie, it was a revolution.

[benjipwns]

wait, i think we're supposed to be opposed to that revolution now:

The offenses don’t end, though. If one surveys the Marvel cinematic universe, one finds that the main villains—even those far more destructive than Killmonger—die infrequently. They are formidable enemies who live to challenge the hero again and again. A particularly poignant example is Loki, brother to Thor, the God of Thunder. Across the Thor and Avengers movies that feature him, Loki is single-handedly responsible for incalculable misery and damage; his power play leads to an alien invasion that nearly levels all of Manhattan. Yet Thor cannot seem to manage any more violence against Loki than slapping him around a bit and allowing other heroes to do the same—even as Loki tries to kill Thor. Loki even gets his turn to be a good guy in the recent Thor: Ragnarok. Loki gets multiple, unearned chances to redeem himself no matter what damage he has done. Killmonger, however, will not appear in another movie. He does not get a second chance. His black life did not matter even in a world of flying cars and miracle medicine. Why? Perhaps Killmonger’s main dream to free black people everywhere decisively earns him the fate of death. We know from previous Marvel movies that Killmonger’s desire for revenge is not the necessary condition to eliminate him; Loki’s seeming permanence is proof.

My claim that Killmonger’s black life does not matter is not hyperbole. In a macabre scene meant to be touching, Black Panther carries Killmonger to a plateau so that he might see the sun set on Wakanda before dying. With a spear stuck in his chest, he fulfills his wish to appreciate the splendor his father described, when Wakanda seemed a fairy tale. T’Challa offers Wakanda’s technology to save Killmonger’s life—it has saved the white CIA agent earlier in the film. But Killmonger recalls his slave heritage and tells Panther he’d rather die than live in bondage. He knows the score. He knows that Panther will incarcerate him (as is disproportionately common for black American men). The silence that follows seems to last an eternity.

Instead, Black Panther is set on a course to kill off his cousin in his first outing, suggesting yet another racist trope, the fractured black family as a microcosm of the black community’s inability to get it together.

Killmonger yanks the spear out of his chest and dies. The sun sets on his body as it did on Michael Brown’s.

They put fake Trump and other relevant at the time shit in Watch_Dogs 2. I also love how weak the social shit in that game was. Hack into a pedophile's house. Hack his electrical toothbrush to make the batteries run out. The distinguished mentally-challenged fellow characters high-fiving each other. "We sure showed that pedophile!"

I fucking loved Watchdogs and found WD2 thoroughly disappointing. Not because of the diversity, but because of the forced fucking diversity. Look! We have a black, a trans, an autistic! Diversity rules you guys! Now let us hack the establishment and give free rent to the working class!

No, you'll need to buy a few LGBTQ made indie dating sims to cancel that

[stufte]

Nope, you're going to have to buy at LEAST gone home, undertale, that dragon cancer, and at least 5 other non CIS developed indie games.

If it's Vanilla KCD, then you're good with Far Cry 5 and Sunset.

If you you go with KCD DLC, you'll need to also dip in for Revolution 60.

buy multiple copies of digital homicide's games and gift them to reegaffers, that will start a chain of events that will lead to a MAD scenario between Russia and the US.

It’s definitely more ppolitical than most of the MCU films, though I kind of remember Winter a soldier as having some sort of semi-strong anti-government bent to it as well... but it was basically never really addressed again in subsequent films.

That said, I think the biggest political statement of black panther was “hey you can have a big budget blockbuster film with black creators in lead creative positions and black actors and still be successful”. It also upends a few tropes. I think those things are important, but it’s entirely possiblye to just watch it with the same level of engagement as Ant-Man and get nothing extra out of it.

My cynical side says that pushing the black creators was a marketing move designed in part to deflect criticism of a property that is sort of a large sampling of National Geographic tribal Africa arcticles with laser beams.

Showing a bunch of people that are the most technologically advanced in the land, but still practice ritualistic body modification is kind of weird to me, like, “no matter how much Africa advances they’re still sort of backwards”.
