The Caligula Effect: Overdose is a game about glory days.
My question is why the developers of "Tom Clancys: The Division 2" refuse to admit the game is political. The game is about a new American Civil War. The game is set in Washington D.C. The first base of operations in the game is the white house. The core functionality of the game is Americans shooting Americans. The game is based on the writings of Tom Clancy. I just... I can't.
How can you make a whole ass game in this tense global climate about this topic and claim it doesn't mean anything? The opening of the game alludes to the idea that the reason the survivors lived through the opening salvo of the war was that they had guns. I honestly do not mind the subject matter but I legit do not see the point of gaslighting about it.
Not taking a stance is taking a stance. Creating a simulation of not taking a stance and denying the stance is inception level.
The game is produced by three studios. Massive Entertainment, a Sweedish game developer, Red Storm Entertainment, a developer out of North Carolina, U.S.A., and Ubisoft, headquartered in France. All of this feels weird, feels... off. I dunno.
I said what I said, I don't mind the subject matter, but for the creators not to own the core conceit of the artistic work has that "Good people on both sides" feel. None of the developers are saying "We made this nightmare scenario up because it is bad. We don't want this to happen, and hope this sparks real discussions about how to not make it happen." They are saying, "We made this nightmare scenario up because we thought it would be entertaining. This is just a fun subject to explore, don't make it a big deal."
There are things happening in the world that make this issue a big deal whether the Division 2's developer want to admit it or not. Not a good look.
Anyway, The Caligula Effect: Overdose is an old Vita game that got ported around until it hit the PC. It's a mediocre copy of Persona. Not much else to say about it... Yeah. Oh and rip TB rip TC rip Tall-T. Love is walking into a gas station right as the person is making the coffee, hate is Navy coffee anywhere at any time. Get out there and do great things, we believe in you. Also Jerbz.
