Giant Bomb Review: Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise

Giant Bomb writes: "It was hard to go into Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise and look at it as a fully new game. This sequel to Rare's bizarrely cute and addictive 2006 gardening management sim reuses a heaping pile of content from its predecessor, including art assets, music, voiceovers, menu designs, and every single pinata from the original. For the first few hours, Trouble in Paradise felt more like an expansion pack than a real sequel.
The interface improvements make this sequel a lot easier to play.
But the more I dug into the game, the more clever new pinatas I discovered and tamed, and the more compelling and, in some cases, necessary new gameplay features I uncovered. This is definitely more of the same, but there's enough fresh content in here that Trouble in Paradise quickly stoked anew the fires of my weird abiding pinata love."

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.
