Poor Viva Pinata. When Microsoft announced that Rare was working on a new title in mid-2006, fans of the studio dreamt that they'd be getting another Banjo Kazooie or Killer Instinct title. Instead, the developer unveiled a brand-new IP created to take advantage of the lack of family-friendly titles in the Xbox 360's library. Although Viva Pinata was greeted with skepticism and derision from many of the system's hardcore fanbase, those same gamers found the finished product to be a deep, challenging god game that just happened to be saccharine sweet to boot. Alas, there was no winning for Rare and Microsoft, as the game's depth and learning curve also made it too hard for much of the younger audience. While the sales figures were disappointing, Viva Pinata's status as a surprising cult favorite demanded a sequel.
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?
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.
