It seems really fun, though. I don’t have any beef with Far Cry 3.<\/p>\n
But I hate this guy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Long story short, the head writer of Far Cry 3 says that Far Cry 3 seems like a gratuitously racist and violent video game power fantasy because it’s a satire of gratuitously racist and violent video game power fantasies.<\/p>\n Saying Far Cry 3 is a satire of violent video game power fantasies is like saying ketchup is a satire of the color red.<\/p>\n Putting a quote from Alice in Wonderland on the label of the bottle doesn’t stop the bottle from containing ketchup.<\/p>\n Let’s talk about Bayonetta.<\/p>\n Bayonetta is a game where you play as a tall, leggy witch who summons demons to defeat her foes by getting naked, routinely runs directly up the sides of buildings, shoots bullets out of her shoes as a regular thing she does, and rides a missile into a holy city to defeat the leader of the religious sect that resides there.<\/p>\n Did Hideki Kamiya make Bayonetta to comment on the sexualization of women in video games and the sinister policies of institutionalized religions?<\/p>\n … Maybe.<\/i><\/p>\n Mostly, Kamiya thought Bayonneta was really sexy and cool, and Vatican-esque architecture and biblical imagery make for really cool environments. He likes those things.<\/p>\n Bayonetta is as ridiculous and over-the-top as action games with nonsensical stories come, because Kamiya likes ridiculous over-the-top action games.<\/i><\/p>\n I think I’m in a unique position, reading what this Yohalem guy has to say and how he talks about his own work, as I have listened to Uwe Boll talk about his work in exactly the same way<\/a>.<\/p>\n “This was dumb.” Far Cry 3 has the opposite problem of No More Heroes.<\/p>\n No More Heroes is not a very fun video game, but it is a broader and more successful commentary on video games, their industry, and the people who play them, because literally every single portion of the game – from aesthetics to writing to gameplay mechanics to the very final moments – is devoted to this commentary.<\/p>\n Far Cry 3 seems to have nothing to say, but it’s still really fun.<\/p>\n Why can’t this guy just be proud of his fun, stupid game?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It seems really fun, though.
