I understand complicated popular cultural references and artistic forms and I'm both highly cultured and aware of modern media methods of exploiting children who are dumb.

Don't forget, "humble" as well.

You can sit by and just shrug which is easy. Or you can pull yourself off your fat lazy gilded intellectual tower and try and point out, as condescendingly as possible to you plebs what the similarities between trite exploitative Disney club characters like Arianne Grande and the equally sh*tty characters like Bayonetta which claim moral superiority are, because she is wearing thick rimmed glasses, she's still just a male fantasy and damaging to the human psyche as a collective whole.

Self-awareness < 0

Seriously, take the self-righteous, "morally superior," SJW authoritarianism back to the retardEra containment unit. I don't even care about this game, but you're an insufferable stereotype.

I think the fact that it took over an hour and a half until your first reply, kind of gives you your answer.

I certainly qualify as a console gamer and hadn't heard much about this game until this thread. After watching the awesome trailer, I felt let down after scanning through the first gameplay video only to see a game that seems to be entirely comprised of menus.

It's honestly probably not something I'd play. Menu heavy games don't translate well to the living room, imo.

I figured as much.

There are a lot of menus, but there's really no way around them when dealing with a strategy game of this scale. Paradox's grand strategy titles are usually story heavy as well and various threads weave together to create a unique narrative that both fleshes out your faction and provides changing goals.

I thought it might be perceived as too spreadsheet master race for most consolites, and I'm not sure how paradox didn't realize this, but it will be interesting to see how it fares on consoles.

So paradox has decided to throw consolites a grand strategy/4x bone in the form of the excellent Stellaris, but, so far, consolite interest in the promotional material seems tepid at best.

Will herms be proven correct in their belief that the majority of consolites prefer one and done movie games over strategy games, much less "deep" grand strategy games, with infinite replayability?

Did paradox waste their time trying to pander to the console market?

I recommend Helldivers and Renegade Ops. There's also an alien one...it was free, forgot the name of it. Also great fun, great co-op!

Not sure if Ruiner counts as a top down, but it's kind of close to this, too.

RUINER is underrated FIRE from its gameplay to its soundtrack.

For me, it's cyberpunk done right.

@Dasein808: Games like this are MEANT for dual analog sticks. M/K lol, that's cute.

With that said game looks awesome.

Actually these play better with kb/m due to the snap 180* reaction and pure aim rather than line aim.

^This.

I tried with an xbox controller, and unless the console version adds some sort of aim assist, then I found it a lot more clunky to try and track, move, and shoot using sticks.

I had the same experience with RUINER. I started with a controller out of nostalgia, but quickly switched to M/K.

The shots also move ridiculously fast and you need to rely on the time slow mechanic sparingly to effectively chain your attacks and dodges without exhausting it. Basically, I found there's little margin for aim mistakes and the controller just magnified my overall inaccuracy which increased my deaths.

I'd not heard of this one till today, but I felt it was worth a recommendation to any who also might not have heard of it if they enjoyed Hotline Miami.

It's got HM's unforgiving top-down gameplay with modern production values. The soundtrack is cool, but I still prefer HM's.

The HK aesthetic is refreshing, and it has the guns akimbo John Woo inspiration (with fluttering papers instead of doves) / as well as a bullet time Max Payne mechanic.

The replayability is probably limited, but, unlike movie games, it seems worth the asking price.

Not sure how it translates with controller. I tried it using a controller initially and quickly reverted to M/K.

Lawbreakers failed due to a shitty advertising campaign + small minded millenial gamers/risk of a new franchise & stupidly fickle consolites, nevermind their inherent aversion to humanity.

Millenials have weakness in spades.

@Dasein808: You have proved nothing with your big orange sentence, you made an inference based on your views. Thats a pseudo-intellectual tactic right there. And here you continue. I hear hooves, it must be zebras. There has to be a plot...there has to. And since you want to reference wikipedia, note that typing in "Cultural Marxism" leads you to the Frankfurt School page topic Cultural Marxist Conspiracy Theory....because basically, its bullshit without any real academic value other than to study the morons who use the term.

And its you out of your depth. Your claim has already been rebutted and you refuse to recognize that 99% of the time, "cultural marxism" is a dog whistle on the right for a racist conspiracy theory rooted in Nazi Germany. You also refuse the fact that the Nazi's were the first to use a term similar to "Cultural Marxism" ("Cultural Bolshevism"), and that the term is 99% of the time, used in a similar fashion today. Pseudo-intellectuals ignore clear facts that debunk their thesis. Then another sign of a pseudo-intellect is to use loaded biased dogwhistles like SJW to attempt to prove your point, which you do. You peddle this theory like William Lund, Pat Buchanan, Lyndon LaRouche, Paul Weyrich, Breitbart, oh and that Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik....lovely company.

Yeah, we're done with your SJW invocation of "dog-whistles."

You couldn't refute the movement's stated goals and you still can't, so we're back to the SJW conversation ending: "racist," "nazi," hyperbole.

You also refuse the fact that the Nazi's were the first to use a term similar to "Cultural Marxism" ("Cultural Bolshevism") and that the term is 99% of the time, used in a similar fashion today.

No, I didn't.

Your dumbass fails to realize that the Nazis hated communists not because many were also Jewish intellectuals, but because they were communists and were the strongest competitors for power in Weimar Germany.

The Final Solution aspect of Nazism occurred nearly a decade later.

Cultural Bolshevism (i.e. a belief in promoting the value of more transgressive/nihilistic forms of modernist arts and culture) stood in direct contrast to the Nazis obsession with classical forms of art and culture.

I believe both can and should exist while proponents of either of these movements seek to eliminate the other.

Your unsourced 99% statistic demonstrates both your immaturity and ignorance.

As I already said, the term "cultural marxis(m)(t)" is regularly used synonymously within university classrooms in spite of your moronic "muh dog-whistle" radical leftist SJW objection.

Fact: The school's founders were radical Marxists.

Fact: They sought to promote the conditions necessary for revolution by assaulting a culture's values and traditions.

Fact: Their ideas are promoted all across the U.S. for those that study English or Philosophy at a university level.

Fact: Most of the people that study them (myself included) recognize(d) that many of their ideas are simply tools that may be utilized to analyze texts, media, and the surrounding world.

Fact: Unfortunately, all tools may also be used as weapons.

Fact: There are a number of ideologically driven (poorly educated) "Marxist/Socialist/Communist" millenials in the U.S. who have either studied, or had superficial hashtag/social media exposure to, these same ideas, and many are actively weaponizing them; because like most young adults, they're exploring the same ideas that most people did at the same age.

Unfortunately, there's now a social media dimension. So where my (and previous) generation's youthful retardation was confined to my/our peer group, their ignorance is being spread virally.

Fact: You are a prime example of the above.

For christs sake guys, this is just nauseating to read now.

How about we all take our respective outrage and just bottle it up inside like normal people.

Fair enough.

More ad hominem and repeating the same idiocy in spite of a wiki link which outright contradicts his claim.

And then you said I am beyond ignorant and give me a sentence that fails to even prove your point. Wow. Nothing in your big orange sentence talks about a conspiracy to revolutionize America.

Yeah, it's funny because once they got to the U.S., they abandoned all of their grievances with existing capitalist, fascist, or communist systems and they wrote pro-capitalist/U.S. essays for the rest of their days.

The same with the generations of the school that followed. /s

How dense are you?

To further demonstrate the fact that their goals never changed, guess where Marcuse was living when he made his prediction about the vanguard of the next revolution?

I'll give you a hint, Germany wasn't really known for having a sizable black population from 1935 to 1979.

You keep saying the "coming revolution", this is conspiracy theory language right there.

No it's not, it's the EXACT language many of them employed. You'd also know this if you'd actually read ANY of the source material.

It's the way that would-be Marxist/Socialist/Communist "revolutionaries" often speak and write.

George Carlin once said that language always gives you away. Well your language is giving you away the fact that you a pseudo-intellectual peddling right wing conspiracy theories and using right wingnut language, and from that, we should not listen to what you have to say.

The only "pseudo-intellectual" in this conversation is you. You know you're out of your depth as evidenced by your lack of understanding of the: topic, the history of the world, the figures in the movement, or the theories involved. Your criticism of me is also couched in the hyperbolic defense of the radical SJW left when it comes to any criticism of Critical Theory, or any criticism of radical leftism in general. (i.e. "alt-right," "nazi," "racist," etc.).

You don't have to listen to what I say. I mean, it's already clear that you're not because you can't disprove my claim.

You've effectively taken the typical SJW approach of sticking your fingers in your ears, covering your eyes, and spewing a bunch of meaningless insults, in lieu of actually rebutting my claim, in the mistaken belief that your opinion of me matters.
