clearly it's missing something since everyone forgot about that shit the week it came out lmao

Story having politics elements doesn't mean the writers endorse certain political views. Like if the story had a monarch and their kingdom is thriving does that mean they think current year should return to monarchy. Or when they make a story and slavery is legal and your character doesn't try to overthrow the system to abolish slavery doesn't mean they think we should have slavery in current year.

Every day I grow more sleepy...

It's missing the part the part of actually being a good game, something ubisoft hasn't done in over a decade.

It's okay user, just take a nap, maybe this get better in ... eventually.

I hope more and more beloved game series inject identity politics in games all the way up to 2020. What Tranny faggots and SJWs fail to realize is that people aren't purchasing these games because of the identity politics if they weren't already going to buy the game, they're merely tolerating it because their favorite IPs are literally being held hostage.

You better believe that many of these people are fucking SEETHING and can't wait to exact their vengeance at the voting booth on 2020. Trump is going to absolutely annihilate the Dems in 2020 thanks in large part to bullshit like this spreading in people's hobbies. Tranny faggots and SJWs are going to collectively kill themselves.

There are, and have been games with politics in them. The entire Metal Gear series for example.
But that's in game politics, which is fine.
When you insert real life politics into games, I can't name a game or a series where it's been done well. It's always a hamfisted half assed attempt. It winds up dating the game or worse.

200 hours division 2 player reporting in, the game actually has lots of leftist vibes considering how you're helping settlements to grow all rainbow and to do their own things apart from the government. Also one of the two white males "big characters" is the antagonist of the game but the story is so bland and shit it doesn't matter anyway.

Hey come on now. Journalism in its most purest form is something publications and reporters all should strive to be.

The problem is hyperconnectivity essentially eviscerates that notion to the ground.

I'm starting to second guess about whether Trump's victory was worth the butthurt it caused. It's absolutely fucking broken almost everyone even outside of America, and has only cranked the forced politics of everything to 11 (I'm not pretending that this culture of forced political injection didn't exist in the Obama or Bush eras but it wasn't ever this fucking constant or obsessive).

Apparently he delivered on a lot of what he said. He didn't get his wall but economically the US is doing better, their unemployment rate is pretty low and his approval ratings are pretty good.
He didn't bring forward any sweeping changes but his chances of winning 2020 are good it seems.

I get the feeling we'll have another civil war within the next 50 years

Anita blew up because Kotaku couldn't shut up about her. And they will keep pushing this shit, so what's your plan? Let them create the only narrative that exists and provide no alternative? This will end well surely

reality tv-craze ended eventually, same will happen (or is already happening) with clickbait bullshit journalism. Only thing you have to remember is who and what media organizations practiced it and never let people forget it.

You can tell whose 2020 campaigns are going to be successful or not based on if they bought in Hillary staffers or Obama staffers.

Those people will still hate him even if Trump somehow managed to cure cancer or something.

>supervirus pretty much destroys America as we know it

We're seeing a return to the way the world used to be. Everything in media was about creating outrage to get people to buy your product/look at it. TV shows (See: every tv show sticking in a black character in the 60s because it pissed people off). Regardless of your personal opinion on this shit, the fact of the matter is the general populace will look at something they're particularly outraged by. It's happened since forever. Newspapers did it for YEARS before subscriptions were a thing and they had a guaranteed income flow to justify fair reporting, or reporting of actual contents and not just fluff.

Shit we even see it on youtube. IT's all about the clickbait, if you don't have clickbait, even with good videos, you don't get clicks, and you don't get views. So everyone has to play the game.

The division 2 doesn't talk about politics because it's set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where politics do not fucking matter. But even though there's actually NOTHING about the division 2 that would lend itself to politics, because people will see this content and either say "Yeah it should talk about how stupid [OTHER SIDE] is!" or "Jesus christ why d o they want fucking politics in everything!" either way you're engaging with the content and doing exactly what they want.

also he's the president and every president is scum

>approval ratings pretty good
>40%
They're okay. Trump ranges from "Just okay" to "Why the fuck did we elect him" on any given day. A lot of his supporters are disappointed with how unproductive his administration has been, and he's manage to singlehandedly ignite the left-wing movement we're seeing from the Democrats.
That said, I still can't bring myself to vote for a Democrat. Unless they nominate someone really batshit insane I'll probably just stay home next year.

It's because despite being from New York City he really enflamed the rural-urban divide. Most city folk think everyone out in the country are white nationalist retarded sister fuckers, so obviously Trump winning on their back is bad, and most country folk think everyone out in the city is a smug elitist that would happily ruin the entire country if it meant they made more money or looked good, so of course Trump winning was gratifying for them. That's essentially what it's come down to, although recently there's been other stuff like the new tax plans, potential abortion bans, and refusing to listen to congressional subpoenas, but none of it has changed his standing much.

Nigga. They dont mean "nope war isn't political" when they say "we aren't making a statement" they are saying "no we aren't going to use our video game as a platform to discuss real world American politics as of 2019, in particular Donald Trump and what our stance is on him. No we aren't going to make anti left or anit right statements in regards to 2019 America."

You need support of the military to seize totalitarian power. That's how dictatorships work. Trump doesn't have that. His generals hate him and you'd have a full-scale mutiny if Trump ever tried to pull any of that shit. Even active servicemen hate him for deploying them to the border on a glorified camping trip and taking away their funds to build his wall.

I don't say this often about Ubisoft, but they're based for not giving into sjw bullshit.

And Trump wouldn't have even come along if they weren't so hyper vigilant about shit. This is reinforcing that downward spiral.

I'm an American and literally the only difference I've noticed as a result of Trump is the changed political climate, with more crazy belligerent liberals and hysteria over how he's destroying the country. As far as I know his policies haven't affected me in any significant way

Based Ubisoft.
Their games might be mediocre at best but atleast they deliver "game journalist" tears with every other release.
I remember FC5 causing so much butthurt that they even broadcasted a review on German radio that criticized it for not being political enough. I don't listen to radio a lot but that was the first and last time I witnessed them talking about a video game on the radio.

All these stupid articles when Ubisoft is doing something sensible for once and not including any sort of political bullshit in their game. People bitched about Ghost Recon Wildlands too way back when for similarly stupid reasons.

The internet was once seen as the greatest and best invention in human history. Now we can say that it's actually the worst invention in history and is an unmitigated disaster.

I am fine with politics in video games even if it's something I disagree with. Killer7 is probably one of the most political games ever made and it's also one of my favorites. The thing is though if you're going to have politics in your video games you better have something fucking interesting to say because I'm not going to sit through six hours of the same shallow safe shit I hear every day.

I liked it better when almost all war games had a reference to ragheads and definitely not jihadi terrorists. Why did media stray away from that hilarious shit? And why didn't it get revitalized when ISIS happened?

Remember when sustainable energy rocket science guy became Literally DrumphHitler?

That's their problem. They aren't satisfied with a game pointing out "These political influences might lead to the situation you're playing through" and give you something to think about, these journalists want games to decide for the players what's the right and wrong point of view. I wouldn't be surprised if Breakpoint has something interesting to say about how unmanned drones change the nature of war, and these same clickbait writers miss that too because Ubisoft doesn't spell it out for them.

Oh you didn't know? Every president in the past few decades has been Hitler.

this is really really reaching. Whoever wrote that article is a seething.

>Jokes are tyrannical
Not surprising considering the left has no sense of humor.

But let’s be honest here. The Division 2 is a game about a civil war. Our characters represent soldiers of the old government, which fell to pieces when The Dollar Flu, a smallpox pandemic that spread on money distributed during Black Friday 2015, wiped out much of the United States. They are coming to Washington D.C., our country’s capital. Our avatars are people who have the supreme authority to do whatever they want to take control of the country, no questions asked. They are one side in a civil war where the opposing side came up to power when the current government failed, and our hero is being painted as a patriot with a flag on their back. Every single detail there is political. It is like trying to say Donald Trump making opinionated tweets from the official President of the United States Twitter account isn’t political. It doesn’t make sense.

Why does Yea Forums always fall for clickbait?

I mean, let’s go over this. The idea that this plague was spread on the most capitalistic and materialistic day of the year, on money no less, makes a statement. It suggests The Division 2 offers an anti-capitalistic view of the current economic system, which while mixed, leans more towards capitalism than socialism. It is set in Washington D.C., the hub of all political activity in the country. This is where all major decisions happen, suggesting what happens in The Division 2 impacts the entire U.S. Our avatars are actual government agents. Their mission is political in nature, **since they are there to wipe out the new sitting government**. **Their job is to restore “order.” Which is order according to the old laws. Not to mention this is happening during a civil war.**

Let's actually be honest here, Ubisoft games are dogshit and pretending they have any meaning beyond selling shit to casuals is disingenuous at best and a marketing tactic at worst.

Who's Barry O? Only person I see close to Trump's is Bush.

What's worst about leftist types is that they tie every fucking thing to present day American politics. When most recent Hearts of Iron IV expansion was released, P*lygon wrote an article about how problematic it is that game allows you to form Confederacy as USA now, because muh "current political atmosphere and literal hate groups".

So basically it's a game pushing socialism and encouraging people to take part in a civil war to get rid of the new sitting government.

That's not political!

The only outlet those morons have is video games. They are unimportant outside of that. They have no social leverage. So they have made themselves determined to make video games a serious thing to grant themselves more pomp. They play video games for a living but the cushy life of doing such isn't enough. They feel they shouldn't even have to play video games. People should heed their words and kneel, for they are they priests of a new religion. Publishers should bow and developers should nod their heads lest they be marked in fatwa.

It's a computer game, you're overthinking it.

The problem is, many developers and especially writers are Marxists so it's almost impossible to tell them not to make propaganda.

So the publishers are forced to lie, you'll see them do this with every ubisoft game from here on out. They will say there is no politics in it when there is and the far left journalists will play along because propaganda works best when you can get people you dislike to consume it. Gamers.

Tom Clancy writes political war and spy novels. His shit is political. And as user demonstrates, the game is already political.

Division 1 had some fairly right leaning stuff. The entire mission about the black women ex con gathering cops and kill was about as pol as you get. Nevermind the fact that it's a game that puts value on gun ownership which is very right leaning.

Is the Division 2 any good? I wasn't really thinking about getting it since I never really got majorly into the first one, but seeing as how it's pissing off these sjw fuckheads kind of makes me want to support it.

it was, because people are paying more attention to politics as a whole, so alot of shady shit is getting seen while in progress now.

no one really questioned how slimy the media was until he stepped up to the plate.

even if he ultimately doesn't pull off that much, he changed things forever in many ways.

I wish, user. I fucking wish.

1. Trump is at 40%, and 2. Obama was never at 11%. Nice try, comrade, you'll get 'em next time.

40% is pretty damn good for a non-black president.

not really, especially on the first term. Obama's approval ratings weren't ridiculously high, either, so race doesn't seem to be a factor here.

that's why I don't link to anything. we talk about a subject and I assume anyone with any real intellegence can pick up the keywords and search from there. Fuck helping journalists channel their views.

blacks make up like, what, 5% of the population? So that's a 5 point benefit if you're black. I can probably safely bet that even if obama only had a 15% approvial rating, 1/3rd of that was strictly because he was black.

I assumed as much after he started fucking with grazing right of westerns/midwesterns. No one with money would like that asshole unless he was born in some 3rd world fucked landmass and were benefiting from his onesided trade and enviromental policies. I'm black as hell so I get wanting your own in positions of authority, but that man was a douche

I'm the guy you're replying to and I have no idea who that is

I enjoyed FC5 a lot more when I realized it was just an apocalypse story with no reference to the outside world besides a (relevant) comment about Russia and America beefing up a conflict.

Division 2 is boring as fuck, it plays well and the graphics are nice
but I see the point people make about the game's apolitical stance, after the game's right wing "Do you own a gun" NRA doomsday preper intro and the game proper doesn't really follow on that nervous vibe, the bad guys are just bad guys with no depth

narritively playing it safe is disappointing.

I voted for Obama in 2008 when I was 18, then I realized how much of a dumb nigger he was. Seriously, the guy justified modern day islamic terrorism because of the crusades

It's not just Americans, nice try. You can't play any online multiplayer without some foreign asshole bringing up yet another "bash America" talking point, just like you did.

to be fair, bush actually was that bad. I don't think any president before or since has done as much lasting damage to this country in a single term as dubya

youre a fuckin fag

Considering that real non-white terrorists both exist and operate for political reasons, so?

this. Don't forget
>muh legacy
when he realized trump actually stood a chance.

I'm not the guy you are replying to but that is clearly Woodrow Wilson the 28th president of the United States you mongoloid.

it is going to happen again. There are literally 0 democratic candidates that stand a chance in 2020

Well, if they weren't such absolutely trashy sellouts, they wouldn't have reason to be offended.

If you think those are bad wait until you look into Lincoln past his pop culture image

I wonder what they'll think if he gets elected again. It would be hard to blame it on Russia again since surely (assuming it was enough to sway the election) we wouldn't fall for it a 2nd time? That only leaves the fact that around half of the country did vote for him and that they are wrong in their assessment that "everyone hates him".

The Democratic party is already splintered with in-fighting

The Dems will lose in 2020. They are already fracturing themselves deciding between biden, warren, Sanders, etc.

He doesn't write these, and if you'd ever picked up a fucking book you'd know that the politics are always back seat to the action/intrigue. They're about spies and about the spooky shit they do, or about soldiers and the violent shit they do. They're not about trans black foxkin identity politics. He'd roll in his grave to hear you say that, but then again the fact you probably only read Kotaku says a lot about your ability to actually process and synthesize information.

Mueller already disapointed many with no muh russia. Now the screeching is obstruction of justice which makes no sense, but it's never about logic

Will we ever return to pre-2012 internet?

This sounds ominous, like he took them into a back room and beat the shit out of them.

its hilarious really, but we finally found the limit of what the common people will put up with, and its with someone as corrupt and void of charisma as Hillary Clinton.

Trump will probably do something minorly stupid and they will blow it up.
I also expect IMPEACH to come up literally a month into the election and for it to get squashed and Dems to scream TRUMP IS REFUSING TO LET US IMPEACH HIM, VOTE HIM OUT

Modern western politics are a literal pile of turd, and using em on your game just make it stink.
If i was going to add anything modern to the game, i probably would use the south korean politics because it's pretty much a final fantasy.

It's fucking hilarious, she really has no personality at all, she's like a robot.

>there was backlash from Polygon's audience
gasp. Say it isn't so

Does the division even use a real president? This would be an actual trouble if say, it was actually Trump they had you rescue but you presumably aren't.

it has its own made up timeline and president, who's dead, and the vice president who "killed himself" AKA got whacked by CIA goons or someone similar, most likely connected to the Chief of Staff who became the new President, and is essentially the secret badguy of the series/this game.

you even rescue his ass and once you reach max level he dips out with some important chockey.

>touchy biden
another disaster waiting to happen.

just think, this is the guy the democrat party likes the most, none of them seemingly understand or care how creepy he is, how weird he is with the shit he says, or how no one can even fucking tell what his political stances even are.

and he's the frontrunner.

What the fuck happened? 20 years ago the democrats were the good team.

I expect a large scale media brainwashing to either normalize his behavior, or claim its because of some "disability" he has and that are an intolerant bigot racist nazi lover if you don't accept it.

I'm a big fan of the qt brown grrl dems like AOC and the kawaii muslima cutest girls ever and deserve to be president for life monarch type deals imho.

they'll be the good team 20 years from now, then republicans, then democrats.

oh yea, the Bill Clinton times? are you on drugs?

they were just more saavy, the Repubs were even dumber then, Demo's were always savage sharks.

AOC and that muslim are just puppets to the Justice Democrats, a small group of aspiring puppet masters who will just insert another Puppet once one of them gets ousted.

AOC is essentially an actor for them, she's nothing, a proxy.

oh yea, 20 years ago where they spent all their fucking time covering up Bill's sexual assaults, and they many people Hillary had buried or barbell'd.

You can't find a branch of reporting that is anywhere near as incompetent as "games journalism." I am sure there are a few good ones out there, but I sure as am not going to look for them.

American propoganda has been upped to 11 to try and recapture the rowdy free thinkers. It must be excruciating to be a foreigner exposed to said propoganda.

The developer and the journalist are both equally retarded. Division 2 is very political. Did Terry not read the script or play the game? There's a lot of pro-gun and socialist themes, just because not everything is blatant politicizing doesn't mean it isn't political at all.

I straight up don't understand how Asian languages can work like that phonetically.

Like, shouldn't those characters represent something when put together into words? It's like if in English we said something like "Nip on ban sigh" to transliterate Japanese. Each of those words means something and turns the sentence into nonsense if you try and pronounce shit like that.
