Greedfall's Detailed Role-Playing Can't Make Up For Its Unpleasant Setting | Kotaku

"Wrapping yourself in the pageantry of the 18th century means recreating the iconography of colonial expansion and native slaughter. It means emulating a time when supposedly great men failed to do what was morally right, opting instead to do what was politically expedient. To merely call this a tension of Greedfall does it a disservice. It’s not just a momentary tension. It’s the entire game." Kotaku says.

Kotaku is offended. How novel.

Leeroyw1695d ago

How dare a fictitious middle ages game not use woke 2019 stances?!
Video game journalism has gone to hell.
You just made me buy this game.

Brave_Losers_Unite1695d ago

Triggered by a shitty website to purchase a game? Pretty yikes if you ask me

TheSocietalAnomaly1695d ago

Brave loser...

“Yikes”.... lmfao. Who tf says “yikes”? hahaha

robtion1694d ago

I'm fairly sure they actively look for things to be offended by/outraged by.

That, or they have some particularly delicate sensibilities.

YodaCracker1695d ago

Colonial expansion and native slaughter?! Shiver me timbers!

Thunder_G0d_Bane1695d ago

Lool the rich history of white people.

Is the truth too much now?

TheSocietalAnomaly1695d ago

Oooh, found the racist. Haha

I can tell you ain’t a brother, so you might just shut ya mouth.

annoyedgamer1695d ago (Edited 1695d ago )

Every single group has expanded, invaded, raped, pillaged other lands. It is not exclusive to "white people".

lucian2291695d ago

So Africans didn't sell Africans? Chinese didn't enslave, rape and murder other Chinese? Native American tribes didn't raid, rape and pillage other tribes?

There will always be this kind of behavior. All humans and lots of other species do this. Hell the wars between Neanderthal vs homosapian are in our deepest historic roots. Why do you think Europeans have 1-3% Neanderthal DNA? It wasn't a forbidden love story lol.

@TheSocietalAnomaly

Ermm so exactly how can you tell my ethnicity from my N4G posts? Please enlighten us with your mystical powers...

Bruneblomst1694d ago

history lessons is your friend. peace:)

Suave_Langosta1694d ago

Who spoon fed you and that crock?

Pick up a history book and stop listening to TYT and the likes.

All people are/were shitty. Count yourself lucky you are alive in the modern times, one where even the poorest of the poor still have a chance to live a somewhat decent life. Maybe not the best life, but it’s better than being a slave (to many different culture across all eras), a peasant, or living through hells such as world wars.

Why do all SJWs seem to think that fiction is analogous with endorsement. But thank you kotaku for making me interested in a game I've never heard of.

KeeseToast1695d ago

"Greedfall wears a costume, perhaps not ignorant to what the costume means, but seemingly unwilling to do anything too powerful with it."

The article doesn't say that at all. Maybe actually read it before getting triggered

TheSocietalAnomaly1695d ago

Y’all need to stop using the term “triggered” when you can’t seem to use it correctly.

If you piss me off, you piss me off. Triggered would be a ptsd flashback, like my brothers in the army and shit.

I might get mad and knock you out, but it would be because of anger, not being triggered.

MadLad1694d ago

People need to learn to differentiate being "triggered" and the natural human condition of anger or annoyance.

NoneYuh1694d ago

Another child using the term SJW. Good lord, you people are childish. It’s like you’re desperate for the cool internet bad boys to like you.

"It means emulating a time when supposedly great men failed to do what was morally right, opting instead to do what was politically expedient"

ironic

gamer78041695d ago

lol yah he was calling out the game, but was simultaneously calling out his own publication Kotaku.

wow what an average list......played and finished most of those games and dont remember the endings at all (read this as not memorable at all!)....way better selections would be some of the quantic dreams games, supermassive games, latest sherlock holmes....heck even colonels bequest released 30+ years ago i still remember both endings fondly

will likely get downvoted for this but the witcher 3 main story was awful, especially compared to some of the side stories....and lets be honest, you dont really play from software games for the story lines!!!

TallDarknWavy536d ago

How young is the pleb who wrote this? The best of all time - Metal Gear Solid on PS1, is undefeated.

No Chrono Trigger? Really?

This is why streaming services are not the future for me, whether its Playstation, XBox or whoever. I hate feeling rushed to finish a game. With life priorities, sometimes I put games down for a few months then get back to them. Sometimes years.

I'll just continue building up my own backlog collection when things hit cheap. Playstation has been releasing some great PS+ standard monthly games, and those don't have an expiration as long as we're subscribed.

This may work for some people, it's just not for me. I want to own my games, with the exception of monthly PS+ titles, as I will always remain subscribed to the lowest tier for MP, cloud saves etc

I'm all 4 tbh, ps plus monthly games, buy digital, buy physical and dip in and out of subscription services.
Gaming has never been so good with all these options and I've been gaming since 82"

ChasterMies543d ago

PS+ Essential games are yours to keep (as long as you subscribe. I have Greedfall and Mafia III from PS+ from a couple years ago. Always add these games to your library.

EvertonFC542d ago

Exactly add the ps plus games even the ones you don't like.
I'm gonna sell my email/PSN account when I'm old and grey.
I've added everything since ps plus began and got so many digital games.
I wonder how much it'll be worth ?

StarkR3ality543d ago

Those are pretty big hitters that have only been on the service for about 3 months :L at least Xbox keep most of their attractive offerings for quite a while. Some heavy hitters have been on there day one and stayed there.

Don't think there's enough on PS plus at the min to start getting rid of perfectly good 3rd party offerings, piss poor.

Terry_B542d ago

Yup, I stick to essential. And maybe I'll playthrough that PS3 game I got with ps+ in 2013. someday in 2025

gold_drake542d ago (Edited 542d ago )

it would be great if they put in the expiration date into the description the minute they're avaliable.

and its great that they include Ratchet and clank games but damn, streaming games sucks ha
