I just want to enjoy a show damn it, not have to explain the exact same thing to my friends that can't comprehend communist countries had good to them.

    yeah, same. i'm lowkey dreading far cry 6, because it's a game set during an uprising in a south american country and the game is being made by a massive first world company full of civility libs. you know they'll pull some major bullshit. I feel like media generally is about to start reaching for like deeper topics, and there's a 100% chance they'll make it very clear that fighting to change anything is evil.

      Black Ops Cold War will just make gamers worse

        I would be 0% surprised if the dictator is overthrown halfway through the game, and for the rest of it you'll fight the "new regime" led by Fastro Cidel that's akchully just as bad as the previous one.

      I was so hoping the antagonist would be a Batista analog and you could play as a Castro analogue but just from the vibe of the trailer i think it's just a generic dictatorship with a shitlib/nationalist uprising. i bet they'll be a nominally "communist" faction that will be painted as equally evil. fuck. i just want my Castro/Che co-op open world guerilla war game

        see that's where you fucked up. It's ubisoft. i'm not about to trust again after the fuckery they pulled in 4; like rip Amita, but I guess trying to end child marriage, misogyny and exploitation makes you into a worse person than a colonising dictator ¯_(ツ)_/¯
