I think this game has much more to offer than a normal fps. Look how many questions its raised. I mean, how long did it take anyone to figure out FarCry. Not long because it sucked.
But honestly, this game should be taken seriously. It puts you in the hotseat of a "1984" style world. Govt control, no rights, abuse, martial law. The Combine mine as well wear Swastikas as badges becasuse they're basically Nazis. Doctor Breen talks about a perfect race and becoming super humans if you listen to his speeches. He talks about destroying instinct, destroying selfthought and self existance.
I know its a game, but there is clearly more to it. City 17 may be an imaginary world, but it implies real concepts that demand to be seen and more thoughtfully considered. The people are supposed to be the govt. They shouldn't be looked down upon. The govt shouldn't be the untouchables. It just made me think, like...what are we in for...the UN, the Euro, govt dependency, loss of rights all for the sake of a good cause?
Please post any thoughts you have on this game or any pieces that made you think outside the box. Stalkers, slavery, eviction, deciet, etc.
