Review

quote:

“The Division 2” does have plenty of elements aligned with typical Clancy fiction. It’s fetishistic about weapons. There are small elements of political intrigue and absurdity – one side mission concerns the Declaration of Independence’s rescue. The setting is Washington D.C. and the President may or may not be dead. But then comes that wave of Tucker Carlson. Carlson’s hyper-conservative ‘news’ show treats white men as victims, said gun laws represent class warfare on the day of a school shooting, and treats Republicans – positively – as ferocious tigers. Carlson’s rants appear to have inadvertently birthed the world of “Division 2.”



quote:

...”gun, and notes the goal is to “unite us.” Through guns. Unite us all in guns. So, so many guns. It’s enough to have Carlson frothing on air. “Division 2” is the worst of ‘stand your ground’ laws and ‘good guy with a gun’ beliefs. Enemies wander the streets, guns outstretched sideways as they blindly fire like Hollywood’s abysmal thug stereotypes. There’s no narrative context for their actions, or why all of them willingly die for their cause – or what their cause actually is. They just hate innocents. That makes them easy villains to conservative eyes.


This game is NOT ok.

I love it.

People like that writer would be the first to go if there was an apocalypse-like scenario.

I wonder, what kind of weapons do they propose for this game?

And this opening scene from the game... LINK.

And, with no police to protect you. Did you own a gun? Did your neighbor? Some survived.

OMG

Just bought the game last night after being apprehensive because of the bad start of the first one.

So far it's awesome, but somehow this review just made it even better

Jesus, some people put way too much thought into this kind of stuff. It's a videogame where you run around shooting bad guys. That's it.

I just find it funny that they accuse the devs of all this ‘muh guns’ shite when they almost assuredly lick blizzard’s ballsack about their characters being gay and bi and what not.

Like who gives a shite

I had no intention of buying this game.

This guy’s review may cause me to reconsider.
