Don't you want to hear about the growth of income inequality?

I listened to a few of his vids and he always go about tangents and crazy logic leaps like comparing bastion to breaking up

>>389100629
This. He's a fucking retard and has always been one. I never got why /v/ liked him. Go watch his Dark Souls 3 video and witness how much he sucks for yourself. It's embarassing.

>>389102065
Is anyone surprised that price control limits economic mobility?

>>389100519
The """game""" he's reviewing is about those subjects though.

>>389104538
The trailer makes it look like System Shock though

>>389100519
a lot of people on /v/ dismiss him outright, I don't buy it. he has some interesting things to say. if he'd tone down the embarrassingly sophomoric "political" analysis and be more concise with his comments on the gameplay, I think his videos would be interesting

He's so incredibly pseudo-intellectual that it pains me to watch his over-analyzed essays on video games. I remember one video where he legitimately asked the question, "Why do we follow the narrative of Gordon Freeman beating Breen instead of the story of Gordon falling down a hole or getting shot and dying".

Because stories have conflict and resolution, you dense fuck. There are plenty of games where you die at the end and plenty of games where you beat the evil and win. His head is so far up his ass after (presumably) 6 years of college in English or Film that he doesn't even even seem to understand the most basic parts of storytelling. No, nobody wants HL2 to end when Gordon falls down a fucking hole. It's anti-climactic and retarded.

>>389105987
He's Psuedo-narrative dissonance

>>389105987
I don't want to defend campster wholesale because I find him regularly annoying and self-congratulatory too, but your post is so retarded I have to. he's clearly making a point claiming how gordon freeman is inflated to notoriety and heroism too drastically, and is making a not-entirely-serious rhetorical argument to show how unlikely the scenario is. he's not literally asking for a game about a dead protagonist. if that wasn't clear as day to you, you shouldn't be calling anyone dense

What is this weird fucker's problem?

>>389106570
Not only does he know nothing about video games, he knows nothing about economics. Talk to any economist and they'll tell you that incentives should be provided for behaviors you want and disincentives for behaviors you don't. Nevertheless he's one of these "lol just give money to everyone and tax the successful people" guys. Eventually the successful people will get the message that they're not wanted because they keep getting punished for being a valuable member of society. Another champagne socialist who doesn't practice what he preaches.
>>389106667
Every game is unlikely. Every movie is unlikely. Every book is unlikely. Nobody wants to read a book about Jon E. Normal who goes to work and has a life and then dies. Gordon Freeman is heroic because it makes the story more interesting. Stories are unlikely and exaggerated by nature.

>>389105987
That kind of thing makes for a novelty flash game that is worth a chuckle, but nobody wants a game where the hero dies for no reason and the story ends.

I realized he was retarded when he said Dues Ex HR had a poor story because transhumanism wasn't treated allegorical, like x-men. The story had other problems that puts it below the original Dues Ex but his reasoning was pretty retarded..

>>389106932
Don't worry, he's over that, now all he tweets about is Trump

One thought short of a red pill there, George.

>>389107269
I don't know man, there's several games that do similar things pretty well. Contact in particular has a nice switcheroo pulled on you.

If you only watch things that agree with you, or that you like, you won't be able to appreciate the things you really do like, or understand why you agree with the things you agree with

Some games wouldn't be the same if they didn't discuss politics.
Deus Ex discussed politics a lot, people claim the game is totally left wing or totally right wing, so what side it's on isn't totally clear, but it clearly deals with politics.

>>389108915
Yeah, and Errant Signal's video on Deus Ex is fucking awful and only exposes how annoying his political beliefs are

Isn't he the guy who said civ5 was racist because it portrays barbarians as not civilized or even people?

This always confuses me about the modern college progressives. They go around waving the hammer and sickle, but talk about how afraid they are of Russia, and how they're our enemy.

>>389109529
Russia hasn't been communist for a while, also they'll probably just say it wasn't real communism (while still wearing the hammer and sickle because fuck logic)

>>389108031
You're right anon. I should really shit post on /v/ so I can truly understand what I like and dislike on a philosophical level.

>>389109745
>Russia hasn't been communist for a while
Exactly, they love Russia when they were still our enemies, but now hate them? What's the reasoning behind that?

His D44M video was hard to stomach.

>>389109529
Because it's total doublethink.

>>389100519
nothing interesting to say about video games so he tells his sjw-leaning audience what they want to hear under the pretense of reviewing a game instead

i've never seen any of these lefty video game people talk about the politics of a game in anything beyond a surface level, it's literally just observations about how the content of a game is political in nature but because politics is often such a low level point scoring topic people interpret that (willfully or not) as actual insight.

if you have a basic awareness of politics you already know 99.9% of the stuff said in these videos and if you don't then you probably don't care, i don't see why political analysis of video games needs to exist in its current state

>>389109320
Something in that general direction. Where he sees politics, the rest of us see a mechanic that checks whether or not we're in a position to keep our lands safe from external threats. Looking at you, Alexander.

>>389112296
I have seen significantly more female protagonists than rape jokes in video games. What is he playing?

>>389112296
why does he hate video games so much?

>>389110321
I remember years ago his video where he sucked off the original. Did DOOM 4 not "getting with the times" by having anti-Trump message everywhere trigger him or something?

>>389113426
The E3 where the guy told the chick playing Killer Instinct One to relax and that it would be over soon.

>>389100629
This. Also pretty much every video essay channel I've seen on youtube has been trash.

>>389113885
Why don't you make a good one then?

>>389114807
Because video essays are boring attention seeking trash.

>>389113780
That's a good question to ask /v/ in general desu.

at first I liked how he analyzed actual gameplay, then when he criticized HL2 for having a well written female character that was, you know, fictitious, I lost my shit.

>>389116153
>congratulatory mary sue waifu bait
>well written

>>389103198
not vidya but this is accurate
>dude we need to help the poor and increase welfare so they can afford housing
>we need to implement zoning laws to keep property values high
biggest meme of urban leftists

to redeem my post i will now talk about video games
>>389116153
i think criticizing alyx vance for being a pretty shallow player yes man is completely valid. the fact that alyx is frequently cited as a well written female character says volumes about how fucking terrible most developers are about writing game characters.

that being said errant signal is pretty trash when talking about the newest indie walking simulator meme vn instead of talking about games with actual gameplay that uses what the video *game* medium has to offer instead of being glorified movies

>>389100519
>Literally just summarizing the political viewpoint of the game
>/v/ attributes this to him and accuses him of going off topic.

I knew you were all retarded, but damn

>>389117723
That's not the politics of the game though.
The villain of the game is the union.
If they didn't have the day of revolt, and pass a law requiring humans on space stations there would be no problems.
Imagine if they did something like that today, requirements for sattelites up in space to be manned, do you know how retarded that is?
