![]() ![]() Dreamfall Chapters is such a thing - it's a fanboy magnet. Some things in life get an undeserved high score on metacritic just because they have a small clique of zealous supporters, while people with a more balanced opinion don't even review it, since the thing in question just isn't important enough to merit their attention. If I wanted to see more liberal politics, I'd just log onto facebook … Expand The messages of girl power, anti-racism and pro-marxism completely spoiled this for me. Again, it's so sad to me that they were willing to alienate probably a good chunk of their audience for the sake of their moral signalling and politics. Actually, I don't even think I can name a single male character that seemed remotely wise to me except for maybe blind bob, and he was more of a buffoon. I don't even think I can name one female character that played the village idiot or token dimwit - no, those roles were all left for the male characters lmao. I don't have a problem with female leads by any means, don't get me wrong, but when they go to such lengths it just feels forced. I also couldnt help but notice that the rebel army consisted of men and women, while the azadi soldiers were only men. ![]() Maybe I'm a nazi sexist myself, but I couldn't help but notice that men largely played a secondary role in every single way possible throughout the game - by making the deity of the Azadi a "goddess", the leader of the resistance being a woman, the main protagonist being a woman, the mole being a woman, women largely being the leaders of the azadi, women as the two "good" politicians in europolis, Hannah and queenie as two other important female leads, the list goes on. It's just sad that they felt the need to put their political agenda first. All the moral signalling and pro marxism **** i was berated by while walking through Zoe's city felt like a trip through a buzzfeed article. Maybe I'm a nazi sexist myself, but I this game would have been so much more enjoyable if I was completely apolitical or politically ignorant, but unfortunately I'm not. ![]() This game would have been so much more enjoyable if I was completely apolitical or politically ignorant, but unfortunately I'm not. Zoey's part has a lot of problems too but is more decent overall. He is supposed to be some sort of a killing machine but he looks and talks like a 23 y.o. He ran some errands for them which any retard could do, but for some reason he got praised as if they were some glorious deeds. He joined a rebel movement that consisted solely of women, children and older people. Parts that involve Kian are particularly unbearable and his storyline is just ridiculous. Seems like the developers knew how to start the story and how to finish it, but in the middle they put a giant filler which they didn't even have resources to properly implement (some cutscenes are sub-par to Deadly Premonition). He joined a rebel movement that consisted solely of Inconsistent mess. ![]()
