The Cracked Thread

And all of the non-lethal options were horribly fates that were not presented as right. There was no point in signaling just one of them out and I honestly thing Dishonored does not even belong on that list.

But yeah on that millennial article. The assholes from the older generations are coming out of the woodworks. I actually ran out of downvotes which is a very rare occasion for me.

What do you even expect from a murder simulator set in a Crapsack World and people Kick the Dog for the shits and giggles?

Dishonored pretty much is that kind of game without good guys, even the protagonist isn't immune if you account the consequences of his actions.

But then Cracked is acting from the perspective that Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil while there are other targets that get to suffer Fate Worse than Death and other brutal things.

I understand that. That's why I find it kind of stupid that Dishonored is even on that list at all and just because the Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil possible fate. Mind you I am not condoning what probably happened to Lady Boyle despite her crimes but she wasn't the only one who suffered a horrible fate here. And yes it probably was more merciful to actually kill her then send her off with some creepy stalker. But you can the same for all of the other targets accept for Daud.....

The world of Dunwhal (and some of the other kingdoms mentioned like Serkanos, or Corvo's hometown essentially) just flat-out sucks. The morality seems to be more inclining towards Gray-and-Black Morality rather then the usual White And Black Morality that most games with choices take (The only other game that comes to mind for me is Far Cry 4 when it comes to Gray-and-Black Morality) and it shows. The only really bad thing about the chaos ending is that the chaos caused the plague to spread rapidly and kill more innocent citizens then the low chaos ending. Dunwhal is still struggling in the low-chaos ending and the fact that Dishonored 2 is coming implies that our little upcoming Queen also got tossed out of Dunwhal at one point in her life as well due to political corruption again....

I had a comment in the Far Cry 4 article, it was a nice game where the best ending possible was to sit and listen to the "bad guy" instead of just shooting your way out and aligning with either what would be essentially the FARC or the Taliban.

I did find it funny how Pagan Min in the end actually ended up being the best choice. The guy is flipping insane and he has definitely killed a lot of people and committed atrocities but the rebel fighters ended up becoming no better then him in the end. What also doesn't help is part of the reason Pagan is so insane is because what rebel fighters in the past (AJ's father) did to him which is so screwed up it goes without saying.....

I'm surprised they didn't even mention Watch_Dogs. The amount of Unfortunate Implications in that game...

Oh lord Watch_Dogs.

You know I never felt that great digitally stealing all of that money off of random people on the street. Or looking into people's privacy. And don't even get me started on Aiden's actions in itself. Jesus flipping chrised that guy is a mess in regards to his family and friends

You do destroy a really nasty sex slave ring though....

I don't even have the benefit of a goal. I have no clue what I'd do if I did get a solid job.

Ditto.

I can't tell if 1-3 are serious or a satirical rant to set up point 4.

If the former, it's awful. If the latter, it's brilliant and hilarious. But I honestly am not sure which it is.

I don't see how the fourth point makes sense if the video isn't satire. I choose to believe it is, because then it made my day a little brighter.

The video made me cringe until I figured out it's a joke.

I hope it's a joke.

If it's not a joke, Cracked has gotten to rock bottom.

This photoplasty made me laugh.

I am just going to leave this were and resume reading the firestorm erupting from the comments while munching my popcorn.

That's just funny though.

Eh, the exaggerated or got some things wrong in it.

I mean, it isn't a secret that the people on Friends all are assholes (especially Ross, fuck that guy), but some of the examples reached longer than Mr. Fantastic

Having never watched the show, I wouldn't be able to tell.

I've watched every fucking episode because of TBS.

God, I need a life.

I tried to watch the show, but like with Seinfeld, I can't watch it because of thrice-damned Laugh Track.

Oh God, I find them so annoying. That's why I instantly fell in love with Scrubs and Modern Family, because of their lack of the tracks.

Bit old but for your reading discomfort I give you 'Luke Mc Kinney manages to be a fucking tool about board games.'

I did not like tone in friend article, dont get me wrong Im fan of the show but I can understand it did not age well in some way like Rachel and Ross being insufarable to each other but the tone is.....almost sadistic in tearing apart the show, I find the tone more unpleasent that anything in the show actually

Yeah that article is basically "stop finding things fun I don't find fun. Here are alternatives that are not even remotely similar to the thing you're already playing."

Not to mention it's been done on Cracked before.

Yeah a this point cracked is the poster child to "alternate chararter interpretation: how everyone is asshole and everything is terrible" I have seen that before.

actually is even worse by the tone seen to recreate in the wrong part with glee, it feel like "this is not fun, is wrong...oh yess how wrong it is and how much I enjoy teling you" it feel....off for some reason.

I completely lost it at his "Don't play Solitaire ! Play Agricola instead !". That's like saying "Don't like Mario ? Play Civilization !". What the hell ?

Or when it said Paolo was "Ilitarate" because he didnt know how to speak english which really put me off(along with the implication the show soport sexual absued because it didnt treat it as super rape it make it to be)

and the example with Richard as Monica is awfull as it try to present as "Him is pedo", it was awkard and the show milk that for all is work but Richard was really one of the best moment in the show run

I dont know it feel they could use waaaay better example: went Rachel chose inexperience secretary over the quilified one because he was hot(and when said guy express interest in phoebe, she lie and said she was a lesbian) and them broke out with him because she need something serious....

Or Ross in one of the most bizarre episode goes cuckoo for coca pups after he learn about Rachel and Joey, it was really disturbing and he recover his sense the day after, almost as he was high or something.

OR EVEN better, what about Carol, the women who cheat Ross, seen to treat him as thing, try to take Ross last name out of his sons so he can put the one of her wife and in short treat the "Other" waaaaay better than him, she is the living proof you could be LGTB chararter and still being bitch of a person.
