I think shitlibs finally realized they succeeded in the past with their propaganda because it was covert, cleverly packaged inside a product with good entertainment value. The Indiana Jones franchise was no exception, being the product of jews like Steven Spielberg. No one minded the social programming and propaganda of the past, or even detected most of it, because good films and video games of substance were made to hide it. Reddit was not built in a day, it took decades to turn white men into bugmen. This subtlety was lost because the old jewish guard was aging out, shitlibs no longer had their Spielberg's and Kubrick's and Jerry Springers' to do the work for them and show them the way. Now the white bugmen and women have to carry the torch and they lack any subtlety, they aren't skilled or kosher enough, but they're learning bit by bit. Baldur's Gate 3 proved you can have a game with literal gay bear sex in it, and even the alt-right will kneel and praise you. If they can maintain that, they can effectively placate any dissenting opinion.

You can't fail platforming, it's all automatic.
Why is this a thing in every adventure game now? Fucking hell. Makes platforming just a pointless exercise. Not even the casuals of casuals appreciate this.
First person platforming should not exist - it's never not garbage - but if it must exist I am completely fine making it a cutscene instead of a legit gameplay pass/fail.
Dishonored had great platforming.

I'm starting to think that you don't trust the Jews?

I kinda liked Mirror's Edge. Not quite enough to finish it, but I had some fun with it. And it wasn't its fault everyone decided to copy its red yellow paint thing.

Compared to a blue haired degenerate?

I'm assuming that....thing....in the videos with the flag shirt and blue hair was responsible for this. Or someone similar.

Projection at it's finest.

Mirror's Edge would have been better in well animated, responsive, tight third-person view. Faith can't even look to the side while running, can't see her environment as she performs parkour, because her eyes and head are locked to the position of her feet like a vise. She can only look up and down while running, and will change direction when looking to the side. Third person also lets you see the incline that she is on, a nice substitute for feeling it in real life.

Game might be kind of fun only because it's fucking Indiana Jones.


Poor guys getting railed by Todd now. Just leave the poor guy alone, did you not see his last movie... oh right no one except me did. Well... it was bad! Like Worse than Crystal Skulls bad!

Metroid Prime works fine and would be a worse game without it. It only works because your jumps are very, very floaty (which the game can only get away with because the protagonist is in power armor with jets).

Your AAAA game, retard. That'll be 70$ + tip + 4.5% of your soul. No refunds.
If I got it for free* and on accident do I still have to give part of my soul? Or is that only if I redeem/install it?

*Came with as a bonus with my black Friday purchased laptop. Didn't even see it till afterwards.

Silly goose, you cannot turn on the game without signing the binding contract. Feel free to do it whenever you want, there's plenty of time.

With modern AAA games it's not a question of how bad it's going to be, it's how hilariously bad.

This one doesn't seem to hold much entertainment value in that regard, but who knows? We'll see in a few days.

The transitions to third person when swinging on ropes and climbing and stuff are so awkward. I liked Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but it sucked there too and was the cause of so much damage in games that followed.

You don't need to wait a few days, the game is another certified Todd Howard stinker, it's dense with American West-Coast sentiment and the jewish hatred for Germans now dialed up with Italians also getting a salvo of hate-filled racial caricatures which the fedora tipping graverobber awkwardly punches. Above all else it is boring though, the playtime extended not with Nathan Drake over the top action segments like you might expect from a video game with a large budget after Crystal Skull, instead it's filler, side quests in one of the painfully slow hubs as the story slowly plod forward. It's not an action game, it's a bad stealth game that flunk standards established over two decades ago, and it's a baby's first adventure game.

For whatever reason the developers lacked the skillset to make a third-person game, which would be better suited to both a license with a recognizable character in the lead, but also to the abundant platforming in the game as well as the melee combat which is more pronounced than the few shootouts. So the camera zooms in and out from Indy's head as Troy Baker the living meme VA makes his best bored Harrison Ford impression. There's no joy to be found in this game either way, both in it as a game, or as a trainwreck spectacle, I doubt even the Zio assholes this game was made for will really enjoy it, nor the geriatric fanbase of Indiana Jones as an action-adventure movie series brand whose last passable propaganda piece was from the 80's.

It's honestly a bit disappointing after Machine Games were pushing the most insane shit in their Wolfenstein reboot, like pregnant Shaniquas gunning down Aryans in America, making some schizo point about demographics. Here it's all dulled into a sleepy drip feed of hyper competent brown women solving all of Indy's problems, there's even the appearance of the magical negro society towards the end to help the jew on his mission. It's not even an issue about female representation, adventure games handled this fine in the past, but Indiana Jones is a series for small boys with impressionable soft minds, selling the idea that masculinity goes together with what it promotes. He can only get mogged by women so often before the propaganda stops functioning.

Instead of woke spectacle Ziomax/Microsoft delivers a plate of Xanax, don't expect many funny videos or memes to come out of this game. Indiana Jones and the Brown Star of David is too meh.
