The Witness is - like all Blow's games, combination of amazing ideas and sheer brilliance with some of the most obnoxious head-stuck-up-their-ass attitude I've ever seen.
It's irony that the only reason why Blow ends up being a hack is the pure fucking arrogance he suffers. If the fuck was even a little bit more humble, he would actually be the creative genious he now think he is.

Her Story was great. Small, cute, clever, and absolutely does not deserve the shit reputation it gets here.

Firewatch and Everybody's Gone to Rupture are shit and a massive waste of resources and talent. Seriously: they just FAIL as narrative videogames. They are just not actually good at the ONLY thing they set up to be.

If you really want to talk about "nu-male" as stupid as that term is, you should not actually take mechanical involvement into account, but political or ideological agency. Games like Dreamfall Chapters or ANYTHING by Tale-of-tales team.

Nu-males are men (with "men" being used as loosely as possible) lacking self-respect who are completely devoid of any masculinity and will jump at any moment to defend women online for feminist brownie points while falsely believing that in return, they'll receive sexual favors.

And watching him try to play DS3 was an absolute treat. He would bitch about the controls and how every enemy was "op", going full Arin about """muh game design"""

Her Story hate is at least justified by the fact that it got way too many "best narrative awards". It's pretty good, but not as good as some people pretend it is.

The Witness hate is based on nothing but that one time where Blow said Nintendo games are shit.

>>383367595
>Firewatch looked nice, but I'm not sure it's a game so I didn't play it.
It's a game. Just not very fun one.
It's also a story. Just not a very good one.

The only thing remarkable about Firewatch is the great art direction and somewhat above-the-average voiceacting and dialogue direction. But even those are not exceptional, just above average.

>What was up with The Witness?
At surface it's an interesting exploration of possibilities of what can be do with a very simple puzzle core. If you don't mind solving increasingly crazy variations of the same line-solving puzzle, you can have fun with it for a while, and it does help that the game has very open design and gorgeous environments.

But if you do get really into it, you'll start to see that the game is aiming for some form of profound message (replacing more traditional narrative threat) and it's there where things start to kind fall apart. While it still works on basic level, as you go forward you'll start to realize the game is actually sacrificing a LOT in order to give a player condescending lesson about how great Blow is, and if you got that far, you might find it ultimately really rather infuriating.

If you just don't care and want to see comfy settings with hundreds of variations on the same puzzle - some really interesting and some really awful, you can give it a try.

>>383367664
I don't think Blow triggers /pol/. I think he triggers insecure kids of /v/, who then just use /pol/-like arguments to whine about him because they don't have anything else they could use against him.

Which is sad because there is quite a lot to fucking complain about when it comes to Blow. The guy is an asshole and it fucking ruins his actual fucking games. Both Witness and Braid were hugely negatively influenced by how stuck up his own ass he is. As somebody who just likes games, I find that infuriating.
>>
People listing Life Is Strange should seriously play it before judging it. It's a lot better than it's blue haired poster girl would have you believe.

Also that gun control meme is wrong. Maybe she didn't say that line about men controlling guns in my playthrough so I can't be too sure about that but she doesn't shoot herself in the foot due to poor trigger discipline as the edited clip suggests she did. She gets hit by a ricochet firing her gun at an area chosen by you (Max) the player.

That ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT justify hatred towards the game. Fuck people who justify hate for something because of something completely unrelated and auxiliary.

"It's OK to hate a good and kind guy just because he has been given more praise by media than reasonable. Despite him still being humble and kind: because media decided to report about him without his actual input way too much: that makes it OK to call that guy an asshole!"

No, fuck you. It's justified to hate on the fucking morons showering the game with awards, but not the game itself. And if you think it is justifiable, fuck you, you are part of the problem.

>>
>>383368618
>Sure, but ultimately both are good indie games that are worth playing.
I'd say they are interesting but I'm not sure I'd say they actually are good. In the end I left both extremely annoyed and in a foul mood. I don't think that is a good sign: if a game leaves you ultimately with mood more faul than you had before you jumped into it, and the game is not made by Icepick Lodge or Team Silent, I think it's a sign that the game is not actually good. It kinda fails to fulfill it's function.

And the realization that the games left me bitter and annoyed not because the author did not have the tools and ideas to make a satisfying game, but purely because he lacked the self-restraint not to wank all over the player in the end makes it worse, not better.
>>
>>383368615

No, it really, really does not.
You can judge me for saying FUCK YOU, but you should never judge me because somebody completely unrelated to me said "that anon is always right" too many times. I have agency for how I speak, and therefor you can justify judging me based on how much I rely on "fuck you's".
You can't judge me opinion on that though. The fuck you's and the actual argument are already two completely unrelated things and should not be judged as part of the same thing.

The game itself had no agency over getting those prizes. Those do not reflect or influence the game itself. They are arbitrary bestowed on the game by completely different people.
If you can't actually reflect that - then you are a cunt. Seriously. You are a person who actually justifies being completely irrational and making judgements not in any way based on reason or the actual external reality.

You are JUSTIFYING people making judgements based on stupidity or insecurity. People taking their FLAW and turning it into the base of THEIR JUDGEMENT. And you are literally excusing that. So actually, I think think those "FUCK YOU"'s are entirely justified in this context.

Those 5 minutes can actually sour the whole experience very quickly, just like Braid's epilogue did sour what was actually otherwise a really enjoyable experience.

There is an entire complicated set of reasons why The Witness left me really pissed off. If you watch the Anderson's video on Witness, he actually pretty much captures my opinions to a letter (it was pretty amazing to discover that damn video and find out that somebody nailed my impressions so damn precisely): except he is much better at explaining and much more kind to the game than I would be.

I found his video confusing. He kept talking about how the game is deeper than your average puzzle game and that he took ages on some of the puzzles and got really frustrated with it's meaning or something?

>>383369752
>Most visual novels are better games than that
No, they really aren't. Or at least, they are much less "games" than Her Story is, as they actually require much less player involvement.

>>383369953
>The one where you go backwards?
Nah, that was actually absolutely fantastic. That was the part of the game where I went "holy shit this is cool as fuck, this is actually really clever and (at the time I was unfamiliar with games like The Void or Pathologic) probably the best case of "narrative through mechanics notion I've ever seen."

It's what follows. The "going backwards" is actually the first/last chapter of the game.
The epilogue is the part where you are thrown into another boring level with tons of books that basically exist to tell you "haha, you thought you had the story all figured out, but NO: there is much more to it, you are an idiot and did not get it yet, marvel at the multiple levels of depth I've made here!".
Except I did marvel and did examine it and found out that actually, everything the prologue is telling you is shit. Terrible, shallow ideas presented in an incredibly convoluted fashion in order to make them seem clever, while in reality it's vapid as fuck.

Braid had an actually great idea. But he immediately has to ruin it because player eventually figuring it out does not make his "I'm so clever" stiffy big enough. So he has to add false bottoms to his games that are universally terrible, and delude player into thinking "well there must be more to this!", ultimately wasting his time.

And I do find that incredibly annoying.

>>383366894
>all those strawman replies
You'd be amazed how easily people fall into cliches. It's absolutely a thing and the definition of the person (not whatever this is with games) is pretty solid. It just falls apart at whatever they consume because things shouldn't be defined by who does and does not like them like that. Pretty much everyone you hate has been into something you've liked. You start doing that and you'll end up liking nothing.

It wasn't actually gonna be a long distance relationship tho u frail lady boi. She was like 200 ft from you. You were supposed to have this relationship built up with her then repaint her walls. But your character finds out she's a slut, she leads u on, then leaves u for some beaner in Spain or some shit and tells u she can't be with you, and your character just takes it. It's a game for people that love to be friend zoned. I'm not paying 15 dollars to get friendZoned by some bitch
>>
>>383370884
>man i was hyped af for this game,
The really, really sad part is that WE HAVE A MECHANICAL PRECEDENCE for a game like Firewatch that was amazing and never got a follow-up and formally fits the theme and environment perfectly.

All they had to do is take a look at Miasmata. Note how the level design, movement and charting mechanics work. And fucking use that, while keeping the story the same.
It would be an amazing fucking game.

It's right there: fucking Miasmata, people. You want to make a walk-sim game? PLAY MIASMATA. It has actually transformed literal walking simulation into a game with fun gameplay. Why the FUCK is nobody taking the lesson?

>>383370991
Figuring out which tag is going to be relevant, and keeping track of time-lines, details and drawing conclusions is more actual player involvement than absolute majority of modern games offer.
Searching the tag is the CONCLUSION of the actual player activity. The actual player involvement does not happen on the screen, but that does not mean it does not happen.
>>
>>383371102
I'm gonna add onto this thought, all friendzoning aside, firewatch would have been cool if it wasn't just about some spooky alien abduction or conspiracy shit and not about nu males loving girls that use them and don't want them
>>
>>383370601
That's the thing though. He goes into great depth detailing this game and then just says it's bad,or rather something that's intriguing that you shouldn't play which leads me to believe his initial frustration is informing his overall opinion about the game and that there is actually something quite worthwhile to be found in playing it. He hardly convinced me that it's a game that shouldn't be played at least or that it wouldn't be worthy of my time though I've yet to play it. I imagine it'll be free on PSN if it hasn't been already.

We'll excuse me for expecting the game to be about some government conspiracy or something.

The game could have been a cool ass mystery story with actual horror or thriller elements and instead it's just "le damaged women who uses you for a summer" game. I can't believe ur actually trying to defend this shit

>>383371050
>Can I get a rundown on Firewatch's plot?
An ordinary guy goes through traumatic experience as he watches his wife succumb to premature dementia, making her act unstable and/or start forgetting him, forcing him to focus entirely on taking care of her.
Unable to bear with it anymore, he runs away from his problems, taking a super-lonely and isolated job as a member of the Firewatch, literally watching the mountains for signs of fire all summer.
He kinda befriends a women from a different tower he talks to over the radio. They develop a weird relationship that is tailored over player dialogue choices.

Then weird shit starts to happen. Two dumb bitches nearly set the forest on fire: when the player kicks them out, somebody starts to sabotaging him.
But it turns out that it's not the girls: player finds their stuff fucked up and the two girls later dissapear. Someone trashes players tower. Cuts down communication cables. Leaves messages proving that he is privy to his conversations with the girl from a different tower.
Shit gets weirder and weirder, eventually player even discoveres a weird secret lab with high-tech equipment set in the mountains, seeming to be spying on him.
Everything suggests some kind of Twin Peaks or X-files style mystery going on.

But then it's revealed that a previous firewatch guy was doing all of it for completely illogical reasons and completely non-sensical way because he snuck his son there last year and his son died and that made him go crazy or something. Also the girls that disappeared were fine, just cunts, and the lab was just a red herrink and everything was just a red herrink and also you should not run away from your problems, lesson explicitly spelled out, THE END.

I'm going to ask again: what the fuck is wrong with you? Is actually understanding basic human motivations and reasoning AFTER they have literally been spelled out for you in an eloquent way impossible for you?

He explains literally what is his issue. He explains how he finds the game having great potential, but not doing anything meaningful with it. How it teaches lessons to the player, but fails to give him anything that the lessons would be eventually used for. He hates how the game has no respect for player's time, how it forces him to jump through obnoxious hoops by promise of meaningful reward than says "nope, nothing here, because It's all about the interpretation!"
How it's cheap and insincere with the player. How it presents a completely trivial message through needlessly complicated and often just spiteful means.
What did you not get about that

Why the fuck are you even speculating about the guys ulterior fucking motives when he literally spells his own fucking reasoning to you? Why the fuck you make completely ungrounded theories about "what kind of guy he is" when you clearly did not manage to even follow his actual explicit reasoning?
Are fucking sane?

I intentionally never watched the last episode of True Detectives, and so I think it's a fantastic show.

Sadly you can't do the same wit Firewatch, because actually the game is infurietingly bad on other levels than just the story: the writing is frequently cringeworthy (it has some very strong moments, but A LOT of that annoying american snarky bullshit that plagues american teenage dramas in particular) and more importantly, the actual action of exploring the environments and hiking, that makes up the bulk of he gameplay, is BORING AS FUCKING SIN.

Well I kept wondering what his issue was besides difficulty. He explains this game and I'm wondering "wait, you hate this again,don't you?".
He himself says that his criticism is something of a parody in that he thinks you should and should not play it.
Idk I kept thinking I want to play this game throughout his review, even at the pretentious parts that waste your time. It looks like a truly unique experience.

btw I'm also wondering whether he'd have had the same opinion now if he weren't very aware of who specifically created it. In the same way people will give something a pass because it's been touched by the hand of Kojima maybe this game is being given a lot harder time because of it's arrogant creator.

I know he expresses his opinions very intelligently but I'm not just going to accept them at face value. You can continue to make out I'm a nutter but it won't do you much good.

btw there's always something to read between the lines in reviews such as this.

Look at all those big companies doing pr sstunts and virtue signalling. Sure, they ban "bigots" and "racists" which in turn earns them a bit of a backlash, but when they go into politics of any kind, they always go for the positive value - "we support this", "we identify with this", not "fuck thos people, don't play our games". How the fuck do these indie developers don't understand basics of public relations?

>I still haven't played any walking simulators. Are there any good ones?
In the "pure" walking sims I think Dear Esther is reasonable, though not great, and Stanley Parable is actually quite a lot of fun if you don't take the game or yourself too seriously. I did play both back when they were free mods though: at the time they looked like a neat experiments and I kinda judged them as such.

In reality, if you want actually really good "walking simulators", you have to look into the games that are not strictly speaking walk-sims in the same way as Dear Esther or Gone Home are.

You can look into Miasmata that I do keep banging on about. The story is actually not great, but it's a fantastic game ABOUT WALKING. Or more specific, about terrain traversal, topolography, map-making, orientation and exploration. Story is weak and the game - being two amateur indie developer-made game has very rough edges, but damn if if just exploring places by walking to them is something that sounds appealing to you, THIS is the game to play. Because the actually managed to make it tense and rewarding mechanically.

The other option are Icepick Lodge games, Pathologic in particular. TECHNICALLY it's much more of a first-person survival action adventure game though: with basic combat, stat-management, economy, stealth and even limited crafting elements.
Those are all rather superficial though: majority of the game is about moving the story forward by walking from place to place and talking to people.
It's also easily the best piece of videogame narrative I've ever seen in my life. It's old and clunky and slow as fuck tough, and also pretty hard.

That is all I can really recommend to you, I'm afraid. Everything else: Machine for Pigs, Rapture, Gone Home, Lifeless Planet etc... all trash.

HE LITERALLY SPELLS IT OUT FOR YOU?!
Again. What. Is. Wrong. With you. Do you not understand english?
He does not fucking complain about the difficulty as part of the bulk of his main problem. Yes, he points out that some of the puzzles are weak: confusing, poorly tutorialized, especially early in the game it conditions you to look for some kind of solution but silently expects a completely different approach which is not a great design. He even fucking flat out states that his was not really that much of a problem for him, but he still can see how this has bothered other people.

But this is completely inconsequential to his main argument. HE CLEARLY SPELLS IT OUT. He hates how the game claims that "it respects the player", then gives him a false ending with massive indication that there is "more to discover", then lets you go through puzzles that are intentionally annoying (not hard to figure out, ANNOYING like the fucking hour-and-a-half long moving your fucking mouse very slowly endurance test", all of these being hoops necessary to unlock the "true ending", only to literally tell you: "hahaha, there is nothing here, you wasted your fucking time, but aren't I great for realizing how perspective is important!"

Jesus. Fuck me. He could not be more clear on this.

It seems to me that you literally watched the first five minutes in which he briefly voices concern over few puzzle design, then completely stopped watching and just went on explaining to yourself how the guy is dumb and should git gud.

While I do agree that Journey is much more impressive game than Dear Esther, but the rest of the argument against the game is based on "this one is better than the other" (which is true but it's not the same as saying one is bad and one is good), and based around the argument of "I wanted X and this game did not give me X, so that makes it bad".

Any government ever existed to help the weak prosper.

The difference is whether the government trusts the strong with helping on their own, or forces them to.

Nothing ever happens at "the expense of the strong." Strong is a subjective definition related to the society at hand. The strong in a leftist democracy are the ruling elite that manage to stay popular with the masses, and the company owners that manage to utilize the law in a way that means they never have to pay taxes.

The more you talk of it being spelled out for me the more you are actually asking me just to accept his opinions blindly because he put some thought into what he was going to say but whatever.

Just because you can't read between the lines doesn't mean you should be angry that I can. The game wastes time so let's mimic that by creating some long-ass video?

I think he's doing a great disservice to the game in his conclusion after all he's said about it.

I watched all of it,that's why I came to the conclusion that he's salty. There's so much praise throughout and then this hogwash about the game respecting the player.

Urgh, looking over the comments I remember how much of the criticism talks about how rules aren't spelled out for you,like the shadow puzzles.

Dear GOD you are a moron. No, based on everything you said so far I'm not even expecting you to begin understanding his fucking opinion at this point.

What the FUCK does blind acceptance have to do with anything? Do you even fucking listen to yourself?

>Just because you can't read between the lines doesn't mean you should be angry that I can.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
YOU FUCKING RETARD CAN'T READ THE LINES, MUCH LESS FUCKING READ BETWEEN THEM YOU TWAT!
You are literally sitting here telling me how it does not make sense to you and projecting like a fucking retard: literally not being able to understand explicitly worded argument and simultaneously talking about shit that isn't fucking there, and now you go around saying how "I'm the one who can't read between the lines?"
You fucking cretin, you have absolutely no fucking capacity to saying anything like this. You are an idiot.

>The game wastes time so let's mimic that by creating some long-ass video?
God you are insecure, this is fucked up. Now that you are faced with the fact that you can't even comprehend basic literal reasoning, you are going on a tirade how awful that person is for watching that video? The video YOU ASKED TO BE GIVEN TO YOU?! Are you fucking sane?

>I think he's doing a great disservice to the game in his conclusion after all he's said about it.
No. You are a fucking drooling fanboy who literally cannot fucking deal with criticism against a game. In a video that is 60% actually praise for it, too. But since it also says something negative: you do this shit.
You project your own insecurity about how he only dislikes it because he thinks it's too hard (he does not, at any point, say anything of that sort), and then you literally go throwing shit about how terrible he is because he made an analysis of the game and you don't like it so that is awful of him.

God you people are idiots. "Overintellectualization makes me feel bad because I'm a fucking primitive. Also, I don't like SJW and that means I don't like women and think women are all stupid and awful. And that means it's completely logical to assume everything else I also don't like is feminine trait."

listen to some women with high education babble endlessly to say nothing.. I had the same impression with the witness, even though some authors used in the game are very good, but it's obvious most of them were used because they're obscure or sound intellectual, not because they add meaning to the game. he could have quoted the guy next door and add more meaning if that was really his goal. As I said before, most masterpieces of litterature or cinema are perfectly understandable even by kids since we read them at school, so that answers to the 2deep4u comment here >>383378165

Yeah. How many children understand Kafka, Borges, Fowles, Eco, Bulghakov, Calvino?

What you are really saying here, you drooling mongolid is: "If I being an absolute child don't understand it, it's not an actual masterpiece."

Look, I was one of the first ones in this thread stressing out how pretentious and full of shit Blow is, and how completely dishonest and arrogant The Witness is by it's very core design. But you are so clueless and so full of shit that you have actually no fucking right to complain about anything.

Well I don't agree. I'd like you to point out the quotes you feel are just there to be obscure and sound intelligent.

Maybe some of it had more flavour than substance, and were mostly added as mood pieces, but in that case they certainly aren't "overintellectualizing" anything either.

None of them are relevant to solving the puzzles, they just further the broader idea of looking at problems from many angles.

>Aside from the old eurocucks who grew old literally having no experience with anything but white people of course
And you have never been to Europe either. Dude, if you think English, French, Swedes, or Czechs did grow up without experience with anything but white people: WHAT FUCKING REALITY DO YOU LIVE IN?!
And fan fact: actually the more ethnically diverse the country is, the higher amount of liberal people it has in general. Ever heard of fucking Sweden? It's actually the countries where non-white ethinicities are more of a minority (like East European countries dealing mainly with gypsies) where people are actually MORE conservative and usually also more racist. For reasons that are not straight forward and you could not eve BEGIN wrapping whatever you have for a brain around.

Most of them don't. In fact a lot of classical literature is defined by having high entry threshold. The fact that something is not accessible easily does not make it automatically bad: what it does mean is that you should TWICE AS CAREFUL about condeming it, because there is a non-trivial chance that the problem might be in you, rather than the object.

And Blow has a lot of artistic talent by the way. And he is very well educated, and he has plenty of actually really clever ideas.
His problem really is that he is insecure and needs to masturbate his ego, which drags all of his works down to mud in the end. But it is also true that this actually only becomes apparent once you get deeper into his works. And before that you'll probably encounter a lot of very smart shit. Ultimately devalued by those awful self-masturbatory endings he always shovels up his games. But he is not a talentless hack, and the fact that you might not see what he is doing is not reflecting poorly on him, it reflects poorly on your capacity to understand his work.

Boring as fuck, the graphics were OK.
An extremely "SJW" game where it was the women that worked the hardes and had to be the strongest and held the whole community together, all the men had issues.
The black woman scientist is the most brilliant and under appreciated of course, and she got discriminated against in the 80s UK as if it's the fucking 1950s US or something.

What you said from the beginning what that the weak prosper at the "expense" of the strong.

This is not the case. The more prosperous a people in general, the more people there are to toil for the strong/rich/smart. This has always been the reason for society and culture. Those who have the most can have even more if everyone else gets to have just enough so that they can work.

If you are truly among the "strong" this system is never at your expense.

Depends a lot. Company tax is only for profits, not for revenue in general, and many many companis are good at mysteriously never having any actual profits.


> their successes drive employment for those without grand ambitions
Sure. This much is true. And out of those salaries come the money we know as regular tax dollars.

I'm not saying all corporations are eveil or trying to avoid paying taxes. I'm saying the concept of tax isn't an issue to the strongest among us.

In the US, those earning more than $100000/yr pay 80% of the taxes. And the top 1% of incomes pay about 50%.

It's not that taxes are a problem per se for rich people, it's that anyone having extra discretionary wealth means there's lower barriers to investment. The goal is always to increase production and supply of scarce goods and services. Higher taxes incrementally inhibits increases in supply.

I've been here for 8+ years now. The fact that this shit isn't happening for the first time does not change the fact that it is happening, and that it is fucking awful. This discussion started with someone asking what is "nu-male" because he has not been around fora while. I gave him the answer.
The fact that simply stating the obvious truth has clearly triggered an army of insecure cunts who cover the shittiness of their existence by "shitposting" is still something we should not be OK with.

>But... it's your kind who does exactly that kind of thing.
Dude, I'm actually a fairly radical conservative, enough to be actually politically and academically involved. But thank you for proving my point about you fucks using pseudo-politically charged concepts to blindly throw at anyone who makes you feel insecure.

"You said something that may reflect badly on me: YOU MUST BE A LEFTISTS! THAT IS WHAT LEFTIST MEANS, RIGHT? PEOPLE THAT MAKE ME FEEL INSECURE?"

The reason why the left is currently pretty much rolling over the rest of the political and philosophical spectrum is actually people like you. You are their most powerful soldier.

I know what you're saying, but nazi power literally relied on support from even the weakest and stupidest. These people got a rude awakening, but there's also a reason the system ultimately collapsed.

The intelligentsia in Germany were, with rather few exception, absolutely not Hitler supporters.
Neither were the heads of the Wehrmacht or the navy generals.

Sparta is a rather special case, and I'm not sure they actively killed off "the weak," or whether the government was part of that, but I should really stfu as I know jack shit.

>buy the games, give them your money, play the games, shill them on 4chan, try and spread their ideological and political bullshit further, you're not a cuck and you're not doing exactly what they want you to do

I enjoyed Firewatch for what it was (a comfy 4 hour walking simulator). Sue me.

I've never even heard of He Witnes, Er Stor, or Everybody's Gone.

>>383374637
Can I get a quick rundown on this guy please
>>
>>383385181
Firewatch was fine. I would have been mad if I were one of those people who paid $20 for it at launch though. Hell I'd have been mad if I paid $10 for it. It's worth maybe $5 tops.

>Because lesbian porn is not at all popular among the male nerd community, right?

With faggots maybe, but not the straight ones.

Uh... what ideological and political bullshit? How do you know there is political and ideological bullshit in the those games if you never play them?

And if you do: PLEASE explain to me the political and ideological messages of Firewatch or Witness?

>buy the games, give them your money,
Would you quote to me the line that says I paid for all of those?

>shill them on 4chan,
Uh... so you think everytime someone talks about a game he is shilling for it. Even when he is actually being quite critical of it?

>try and spread their ideological and political bullshit further
HOW am I doing that? And what political bullshit we are talking about?

Dude: YOU ARE MAD. There is literally no way around it: you are certifiably mad. You are no better than the most insane tumblr cretins in the universe. You are no better than those insane right-wing christian faggots demanding to ban games they never played because they believe them to promote devil-worship, or those insane left-wing cretins demanding boycots of games like Witcher that they never played because they think they spread anti-feminist propaganda.

YOU ARE THAT. A person who blindly screams about evil propaganda in things you don't know anything about.

There is nothing political about either of Blow's games. And you would know that if you had played them. I actually found both INSULTING in the end and don't like them and can't recommend them to people. Which you STILL somehow interpret as shilling, by the way. But there is nothing political in them and there are good ideas in them too. It's just that those good ideas are ultimately not the bad ideas they also contain.

So chill the fuck down, stop being a brainwashed idiot, stop hypocritically saying exactly what those you pretend to hate are saying, fuck off.

Are you actually serious? Is this a joke? How do you not know that lesbian porn is among the top five most searched porn types among straight males almost universally across the world, and this has been true since the very CONCEPTION of pornography.
How detached from reality are you people? How far will you let the fucking left actually continue to brainwash you?

You're the one who has been brainwashed by the left. Your porn statistics are hand crafted by Jews and SJWs. No straight man likes girl on girl shit. It's only faggots and faggots in denial who are being turned by it, which is why Jews push that genre so hard.

I downloaded Firewatch because it was recommended to me as a guy disconnecting from society, and accepting a comfy /out/ job where he can be alone with his thoughts, books, nature, away from his problems, at peace.
And first thing you know, he has to """develop""" a """relationship""" with a chick over the radio in the first minute of being in the wild. I don't know what I expected. Maybe that his orders would come on a letter, here's what you have to do this week, and just fuck around in the woods, exploring, setting markers, maybe more survival elements, sight seeing, marking your own map, cataloguing the wildlife, having access to the in-game books if we're going for the escapist extra mile...
The game is very pretty too, but I dropped it in what I assume to be the middle. Disappointed.

That is some painfully weak bait. And the saddest part is that I'm willing to bet big money that it's half-sincere: that you actually half-believe this shit but also turn it into a shitpost because you are a coward on top of being brainwashed idiot.

>>383385692
>How detached from reality are you people?
You already said that
>>
>>383386154
And it did not cease to be true since. You people are completely detached from any actual reality and that is a fact.
It will stop being relevant to this discussion when you people manage to come back into real life and to your actual senses.

Nah, /v loves japanese porn, and /v loves it mainly for the most common plot tropes. So it pretends to like japanese vidya as well, 'cause some of that porn comes in interactive package.

To add on to what this guy said
>watching porn where females are having pleasure without a male, which you're supposed to subconsciously self-insert as
>associating your own sexual pleasure and release (your solo fapping) to the sexual pleasure of women
Porn already fucks with the brain, but lesbian and traps take the cake
Chicks making out is hot, no denying, but in moderation.
