Why is there so many Orwell games but no Huxley games?
>>
Because we live it
>>
>>388307805
because most people are shallow as a kiddy pull coming with politics, and only spout whats "current"
>>
>>388307805
would be pretty ironic to make a Huxley game.
>>
Sure there are, just play some harem VNs.
>>
>>388307805
Soma is an item in a lot of rpgs.
>>
Aren't all facebook social games Huxley games ?
>>
>>388307805
>banning books
>not happening for 2B+ people maybe more
>truth not being concealed alongside the misinformation campaigns
They both had some points even if Huxley hit closer to what we have now.

Kojima tried to make an Huxley game but people complained.
>>
>>388307805

Because Huxley's view of a dystopia is left wing gone wild. Everyone's still so fixated on facism from the early 20th century they're blind to the slow creeping dystopia stemming from an excess of information.

I mean MGS2 touched on these ideas but nobody remembers that game past the ten minute long codec calls.

>>388307805
Huxley sounds gay desu.

Huxley is too nuanced and meta for a video game. It would just seem mundane if anyone tried it.
>>
>>388307805
Orwell is easiler for most writers to do

>government bad
>watches you all the time
>torture

I'm not saying 1984 is just that, only that that's what sticks to the average two bit writer the most and influences their work.
>>
>>388308087
Brave New World held social stability as the be-all and end-all. What kind of a left winger would not be against it?
>>
>>388308262
Huxley isn't better

>technology is bad
>why?
>because it is
>>
>>388308278
Huh, now that I think about it, isn't that the ultimate end, the sweet victory for them?

>Everyone is equal
>Nobody is unhappy

I'm fairly sure the novel produces some argumentation as to to why that is the case, anon.

Heck, even the picture in the OP shows some examples.

Are you retarded?
>>
>>388308432
>Brave New World
>Everyone is equal
You haven't actually read the book, have you?
>>
>>388308494
>inflicting pleasure
Except this doesn't happen
You can choose to not have pleasure inflicted upon you (by not spending currency units)

>>388308432

Nigger they have social casts engineered in vats.

And yet it's the left today that are banning books.
>>
>>388308715

Equality within the cast, guaranteed by the genetic engineering.

>>388308831

it's castE you illiterates
>>
>>388308980
You're right, he goaded me in to making that mistake.

I'm sorry.
>>
>>388307805
Huxley was just a bitter old cunt who didn't like the fact that people enjoy things he considered worthless. He is the equivalent of the music nerd who would secretly love to ban Taylor Swift because he can't handle other people not sharing his subjective tastes.

Kojima doesn't have the capacity to actually write and develop a story with such depth and thought.

>Why is there so many Orwell games but no Huxley games?

Cause general audiences are shallow as fuck. Its like asking someone if they rather be sexually pleasured to death or being tortured to death. They both end in death but shit that makes people feel good is makes it harder to tell or describe as actually hurting people.

Think of the over reactionary faggotry in the political/news spectrum. Where nerds from all sides actively seek and want to lap anything that aligns with their preconceived notions about the world as long as it brings them anger which is like of a recreational sort which they seem to enjoy for some reason or at least seem to be with how actively they seek out.


Seriously keep an eye on Right wing AND Left wing SJWs seeking what they perceive as social justice for whatever it is they support. And see how they seek anything they can instantly react to and be upset about.

Shit that brings pleasure is just a hard thing to talk bad about for people. Oh another examples is music and notice how if there is a track someone loves that is then later said to not be loved by someone else. Then the person who likes that song or whatever can be seen from time to time to be livid as it were an insult upon them.


Console wars, modern day politics, and fandoms in general have been made to be like a sports completion in where all that matters the most is "winning". And that mentality that has permeated society as whole has made it almost impossible to really make anything that will be received well or critically an almost impossibility. No matter how good that product may objectively be.

>Those disgusting hands
Is that a tranny?

>>388307805
brave new world wasn't a dystopia, faggot. The story was about a sociopath who didn't enjoyed himself in this perfect world. If you don't like drugs and sex and entertainment you were allowed and free to join the natives.

in our time bernard would browse and post on r9k.
>>
so... orwell was a cuck and huxley was a chad ??
>>
>>388308706
You underestimate hedonistic nature of human beings. If we can take pleasure from something, we will be driven to do it, that's how it works.
>>
>>388308039
would you want her to give you a handjob while calling you a good boy? With an old mans voice
>>
Childhood: Orwell was right!!
Adolescence: Huxley was right!!
Adulthood: Both were right.

>dude Shakespeare lmao

BNW is shit

Why is a guy getting /fit/ considered a waste of time or a stagnation of culture?
>>
>>388310786
Obviously skips leg day.
>>
>>388309580
So you'd rather be tortured to death than sexually pleasured?
>>
>>388309958
I'm glad I'm not the only one to interpret the book this way.
>>
>>388309958
Seeing the flaws in a "perfect" world doesn't make you a sociopath, it just means you want more from life.
>>
Orwell's dystopias are much more realistic and have actually existed.

Huxley's wasn't even a dystopia in the first place, and only crazy people think it's in any way nightmarish.
>>
>>388307805
Check "we happy few"
>>
>>388312290
Then they're free to go to that island where they put all the unhappy people where they can be unhappy together, which is exactly what happened at the end of the book.
>>
>>388310786
Because he is digging himself into a hole from which he cannot see anyone else.

Or whatever, I don't buy it either.
>>
>>388310352

Something being compelling in certain ways doesn't automatically mean you'll agree to it.
Most people aren't masturbating and eating every second of their lives even if they could.
>>
>>388310786

Every atom of energy you don't spend for the glory of the party and the collective is a waste to these marxists.
>>
>>388312446

We happy few has literally nothing to do with BNW
>>
>>388307805
It's easier to understand a dark dystopia than a light dystopia. I'm willing to bet most people would say they would hate living in 1984, but many would like to live in Brave New World.
>>
>>388307805
We ARE all playing Huxley games at this very moment. We're living it.
>>
>>388308706
The argument was humans will be complacent and easily controlled if provided basic necessities and entertainment/pleasure. I haven't read the book since high school and I remember this shit.
>>
The Last Night seems to be what you're looking for

You are retarded and have never read the book. I don't know why I would expect a /pol/tard to read anything other than unsourced, artifact-ridden jpegs that objectively prove the inferiority of black people.
>>
>>388310786
it's just one example of something that can destroy you if its abused in the bad way. But /v/ likes to take everything to the literal extremes.
>>
They were both right desu.
