    'disagree with lgbt' lmfao no one is making you be gay you lawful-nazi lawyer weeb, by 'disagree with' we all know you mean 'seeks the extermination of', pathetically trying to hide behind 'civil rational discourse' jargon as a paper thin coating for nazi ideology. people like @MangaLawyer should be 'disagreed with' into a deep mine shaft barbara-pit. i wish his entire ideological cohort had been 'disagreed with' more thoroughly in World Disagreement 2. really out here using 'disagree with' the same way liberals think we use 'deeply unserious' but without the conviction to drop the facade of civil discourse lmfao

      Being lgbt is not a political opinion, there are gay conservatives! Peter Thiel is gay and is actively agitating for his own oppression but still hasn’t divorced!

    Amazing that the grievances have receded into "telling straight women to log off."

    Literally milder than telling someone to touch grass.

      Yeah there's no implication that the person has to leave the house, or get off the sofa. Just watch some Netflix or some things and chill out. Hilarious to get stirred up about that.

        I know it's them but it's, as you said, the same loop of liberating camps. I couldn't stomach the tired romanticisation of samurai, honour etc. in the first game.

          yea its pretty egregiously ahistorical, kinda like the 300 of samurai, or the anachronistic concept of 'chivalry' as applied to european knights. exactly as you said, a romanticisation.

            It's more inspired by chambara movies than by samurai history. Similar to how Red Dead Redemption is drawing from western movies more than cowboy history.

              I don't know what the average samurai movie was like but even comparing to works of the apolitical Kurosawa the plot is completely devoid of anything of substance. It's like a Disney movie and the whole motion of being invaded as a nation to beating the invasion is essentially shown as a slice of life with any political baggage ignored.

              It's not unique in this respect by any means but for a blockbuster game to be so hollow in 2020 feels incredibly disappointing. Their implementation of the Kurosawa filter is a good gauge for the level of interest they have in the subject matter. I don't understand how they are working with an artistic medium on a daily basis, explicitly taking inspiration from existing art that has a long history of being critically analysed, and then they end up making something so intellectually bankrupt.

              The reason I am so salty about this is that games like this are not just made but they are received well too. It is so stupid. The only people expecting the game to do better are woke looney leftists.

              Sorry for rant. It is not aimed at you and I agree with what you said. But I just hate this game.

                I think I've just seen enough extremely shit adaptations of Seven Samurai that I set a very low bar for "inspired by the works of Akira Kurosawa" lol. That, and I have very low expectations of high-budget, mass market freeze-gamer slop :)

                I enjoyed the game, but I liked it in a similar way to how I enjoyed the earlier Assassin's Creed games - relatively compelling adventure gameplay in a kinda neat historical-ish setting i-love-not-thinking. You're right, though, the storytelling hasn't advanced too much from Ninja Gaiden on the NES

                  The Ninja Gaiden series on the NES might have a better story. Not a dig so much as Ninja Gaiden is under rated.

          Kind of a shame they're doubling down on another samurai game and not doing something new. I'd even prefer a new Sly or Infamous.

    Told them to log off for "disagreeing with LGBT" is wild. If someone is being actively homophobic, log off is exceptionally restrained.

          Oh, so he was just roleplaying as a snooty elf who will redeem themself, right? anakin-padme-2

          They'll do a redemption arc later, right? anakin-padme-4

          But yeah, DnD is one hell of a good look into some people's psychology, the guy I had at least gave up the ghost that he didn't care so much about what is right and more of what works, like a chuddier adult in the room thing.

    “They told us to log off in response to me calling for their mass extermination! Day of the rope NOW!”

    What? You expect people to just take an insult with a goofy smile on their face? The world ain’t one big retail store, fucker. Talk shit get hit told to log off. After all, maybe now you can smile and forgive them…you think revenge is wrong? So don’t get revenge on them for getting revenge on you!

    Y'know, I was almost a day-one lock for this game; then I went to check if Ghost of Tsushima had gotten a PC port. It did, but, they also mandate a PSN account. Even if you're buying it on Steam.

    Can't justify making an account on the single most hacked online gaming platform in existence; and they're probably going to do that stupid bullshit with Ghost of Yotei, too.
