Isnt that kind of the point here? We ARE just playing it and having fun with it. Doesn't mean we cant talk about how wrong Gamespot is about their critique here. Like they expected to be blowing away red blooded americans just because they were white Midwesterners. Instead they focus on getting offended that someone said "Obama loving libtards" in a game where you are blowing people up with C4 and lighting forests on fire with maltov cocktails. Because if it was someone making fun of Trump you know they would be totally cool with it and not be offended or let it skew their view of the game at all.
Judging by the second part of your post I think we agree, but discussing the video I don't think is too far out of the question.
I have no problem with Midwestern white folk wanting to defend themselves from people upset that Midwestern white folk aren't tortured more in a video game simply because they are Midwestern white folk.
The Forbes review of the game took marks off because the cult you were fighting is men and women both black and white fighting together. They said race should have been a bigger issue in the game... They were actually upset that there weren't misogynistic and racism to get angry about. In other words, they need people to be like that to have a cause to be angry about. It's silly.
I agree. Im happy that the reviewers whos opinions I respect the most have called out those who are basing their low scores on politics (Forbes and Kotaku were named).
