Variety - Game Review - The Division 2

[Oh. daesu]

Whether intentional or not, I though this review as pretty funny. So, why not share.

TD;DR snippets:

Yet, despite publisher Ubisoft’s denial of political themes,   “Division 2” comes more from the mindset of Fox News’ primetime star Tucker Carlson than Clancy.

It’s fetishistic about weapons. [Note: think the tone was in a bad way]

“There’s a new sheriff in town,” spouts the dialog. That’s referencing an absurdly silent protagonist draped in camo with a swelling backpack fit for anyone who religiously watched each episode of Nat Geo’s Doomsday Preppers.

“Division 2” is the worst of ‘stand your ground’ laws and ‘good guy with a gun’ beliefs.

With dwindling resources, how do the roving gangs coordinate their attire?

This is what happens when you aspire to be a political journalist and your editor says, "Nah. How about you write about video games instead..."

"With dwindling resources, how do the roving gangs coordinate their attire?"

...he's got us there...must be the worse game ever. They must use the same post-apocalypic stylist crew that catered for Mad Max's Road Warriors and their impressive mohawk hair styles!

I could not even finish the review - wow, this guy is wacko.  I mean, it's a video game....

There is one point in half a sentence I do agree with  and that is "No characters stand out, no personalities prove memorable"

Oh and obviously Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson :51_scream: .

Man it's amazing how some people can get a political statement out of anything, and then twist it to oppose/agree with their argument.  I just keep thinking of Jeff Goldblum "Journalists uh, uh, find a way."

I love how these "journalists" can find politics in anything. Like everything to them has these hidden agendas when in all actuality, they're just meant to be fun and make the developers money. The developers know what their consumers want, and that's what they give them. This person is an absolute moron.
