Loved it despite the anticommunism, the ending made me cry

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The GDR aesthetics are just "oppressive regime" wallpaper tbh

Also one of those games where I watched a 2 hour lore explanation video going over all the classical art and music references and a strongly supported theory about what's actually happening in the plot and it deepened my enjoyment

Oh for sure, it's more set dressing, just wish they didn't tie it to the GDR. Guess the LGBTQ themes are fairly on-brand for the GDR's historical progressivism compared to Western Germany on that front though.

Again, I love the game, I just wish it didn't have that anticommunist slant in the background.

The girl looks like straight from The Witch's House and the guy is just Jerma.

[–] Gay_Tomato@hexbear.net 26 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

[–] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 2 weeks ago

Okay maybe he's Vinny, but Jerma came first to mind.

Meanwhile the sicko woke mob wants it to be the opposite…

Dumpy grumpy lady protagonist sounds like a good time.

[–] Sinister@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

so something like Cat Lady. But thats about it.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

Just imagine her dealing with ghosts or serial killers, maybe with her "bus pass."

spoiler"Bus pass" is a hammer.

This is also basically every straight couple.

Just played crow country and re4 remake, the first definitely conforms to this, the latter? Leon S. Kennedy isn't "just a guy" he is THE guy
