    Also ragging on CoD4 for military worship is kinda what the hell because I remember that game being subversive as shit.

    Killzone is kind of the 3 Star-iest franchise out there, so that makes sense

    I don't know if any of them besides the first one are bad, but none of them are great

    I really liked Killzone 2 but even I wouldn't call it great

    Good enough for a console that had another year to go until Bad Company 2, I guess

    Economic experiments? Hedge funds? Mired in ancillary bullshit like hats?

    two major things TF2 added that basically represent the trends of this gen:

    Achievements/other progression stuff. This is pretty self-explanatory, we learned we like the constant sense of getting better even when it's for having been blown up by a crocket.

    And yeah, the hat stuff. Business models don't include games now so much as games themselves are starting to develop their own.

    Not to speak of the rebirth of competitive FPS play, steam sales, and so on

    not... really? i mean, one dude does get blown up by a nuke, which was a neat idea at the time, but the overall tone is "hoo-rah, soldiers!"

    and the sequels, of course, are just straight-up propaganda

    Also apparently A Link Between Worlds is fucking outstanding.

    Bwad Shoemaker himself said on his tumblr that it could be better than Brothers.

    And we all know about Brothers.

    I think it mostly comes through in those death screen quotes

    Over the course of the game they get more and more cynical until they're literally quoting Dick Cheney

    And then also there's the end of the game where you've done so much and lost so many friends and the government you did it all for is just going to cover it up and give you nothing in return

    I believe you're actually saved by the Russians in the end

    yeah all those people play multiplayer shooters only for the sake of seeing their number go up

    they derive no enjoyment from the playing of the game itself

    I can't

    Tell if this is serious

    Something can enhance enjoyment without being the sole reason you do a thing

    Most of the problems were created by the "good guys", anything the Americans do is pretty much a constant clusterfuck, there's that whole cold, detached gunship sequence, and the climax of the game involves everyone unceremoniously dying until you're saved by the Russian guy Price emasculates in the first level.

    I feel like you could do that with any setting, though.

    1. Aliens are jerks
    2. Man's hubris or something
    3. Maybe we are the jerks?
