like oh wow ur game about exploring an untouched world where the punchline of every "joke" is that you're being exploited by an unfeeling corporation? man that's so unique that nobody who read that sentence realized I was talking about Journey To The Savage Planet because there's so fucking many of them
You know what I want? Universal jail time for all gamers
But if I'm not gonna get that, I want games that take place in a world we'd want to live in where the objective is to help it remain as such.
If someone pitched to me a GTA game set in a horrible word not worth living in the way they all are, I wouldn't care what city it's set in. It's been done. If someone said, "hey we're gonna make a GTA game except it's set in a nearly post-capitalism world and your objective is to try to protect your city from incursion by the forces of reaction" I'd buy that shit up so fast.
TLDR; why doesn't an inherently reactionary industry just pander to me? :/
Red Faction: Guerilla is the only good video game because you use IEDs and sniper attacks to fight space America and in the end you use a weapon of mass destruction to blow up a space aircraft carrier and absolutely no apologies are made for any of it. Also, the game play rocks.
