MyGen: Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise Review

MyGen writes: "Released as a sequel to Rare's 2006 hit Viva Piñata, Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise is more of an expansion pack bundled with the original game. All the original content that made Viva Piñata what it was is back, but this time it's been beefed up and improved in every way fans of the original would have wanted.

Dressing itself up as a children's game makes it quite deceptive. Whilst it is very easy to simply pick up and play, making it great for kids. It's also a rather challenging game that scales well to suit people of any age and playing ability. Gaining a full understanding of the depth of Trouble in Paradise first involves getting to know the basics, with gamers needing to know not only how to tend to their garden, but also how to attract would-be residents. It's in these first stages of gameplay that we see some of the improvements over the first Viva Piñata release. Where once gamers had to pat the ground to make soil suitable for plants, it's now a simple case of putting the plant in the ground, with the rest taken care of. Over the course of building a garden this alleviates a lot of hassle, and is a much needed, albeit small, improvement."

Viva Pinata places a brutal lens on late-stage capitalism

When Rare developed Viva Piñata it was a cute game for the Xbox 360 to rival Pokémon. It shipped, wholesome and lurid, with every new 360 for basically the console's whole lifespan and spawned a co-operative play sequel, Trouble In Paradise.

I'm confused, is this review a joke? Did this imbecile just write a tediously long extremely boring review just to somehow, in her warped brain, link it to capitalism in order to say capitalism is evil? Or did I read that entire review wrong? Can someone clear this up for me?

It’s from an insufferable sjw, which isn’t that far off from a Marxist.

This is actually quite sad in actuality. This content writer could be using their time to actually fighting for liberation and the well-being for all in the living breathing world that is our streets, forests and communities.

In stead they choose to do it virtually in the most extreme capitalistic way (an environment where intangibility commands a high price for profit) with a boss begging mentality. How does this apply to those that want to be free from being exploited?

This isn't Marxism or even beyond left, it's a narrative of someone that is enjoying life as an exploiter and a sympathizer to all those that exploit.

The writer is a part of the problem.

Women make about ~80% of consumer purchases so, if anything, women benefit from the system and thus are the problem.

This was a funny read. The comments in here made it better, too.

Maybe, just maybe, some articles are meant to be entertaining and nothing more.
