So it’s a very slow, but very normal FPS infused with Gigerness? I mean, I’d still play it, but I kind of expected more.

5103

At that speed it may still be able to generate King’s Field/Souls-like mood and tension (scary dungeon crawler); it’s hard to understand the player’s mind from something even this long

5104

Sure, it’s possible.

But that’s not what’s in the video.

5105

But that also seems like a very early (therefore somewhat slow, gentle) introductory part of the game. I think it might have more up its sleeve.

I don’t have a PC that can run Mirage, but their last game Chivalry was really good.

this seems like something that would happen in a mid 00s indie game to make the blogosphere light up for a minute

So I want challenge in my games. I choose to be black. I beat it. It’s great. So the underlying moral is…git gud?

I just don’t get why the causality is going backwards there. Should’ve picked a skin color and this should’ve affected difficulty, not the other way around.

The lesson mediocre white people need to hear again and again until it sticks.

5115

like this is also a game starring cartman as “the coon” because they like to say “the coon” 10,000 times

Curious, are you white and/or mediocre?

5117

I’m not saying south park’s politics aren’t pretty feeble, but I do love the idea of people who want to play a white character being forced to play on easy. it’s so wonderfully condescending

5118

i mean it’s kinda funny that it’ll tweak some of their more bigoted audience for a sec but like

people who want to play a brown character being forced to play on hard isn’t really

this kind of stuff is so frustrating because if it stays it’s shit, if it gets removed people cry “censorship”

and like, the most efficient way to solve these problems is to do enough research to not put this dumbass stuff in the game in the first place???

if anybody’s still looking at South Park jokes to make any kind of interesting, biting satire now (after already ruining a generation of people by making them think “i’m not taking any sides, lol you’re all just as bad”) then i dunno what to tell you
