        If you could be bothered to not repeat the same retarded comment as everyone else, the fact he has to cite auxiliary materials for the story is a perfect fucking example of the message not being put before the entertainment. You can play the entirety of the game with none of the message actually coming up.

          Honestly it just sounds like you are the kind of idiot who would play bioshock and come out with the that it was just a fun game about smacking people who are in diving suits with a wrench and having super powers. Like its clear you are a troll since you are choosing to pick games that have no in game story then shouting “LALALLALALALALALAL” when people tell you that the fucking instruction manual the game comes with has these themes. Funny part is your argument would make sense if you were talking about other kinds of external material like the whole star extended universe or someone talking about the halo books when talking about the complexity of the universe but this is a thing that came with the game. I’m sorry you either didn’t have a childhood where you didn’t read the fucking manual that came with the game but I assume you were illiterate when it came out.

              Seems your vocab hasn’t improved either with time. Come on now, be more creative. You are the type of lad who would throw a shoe at a horse and say you made a horseshoe. Also for someone who wasn’t even fussed to watch a whole season of a show (you barely finished an episode) you seem to have quite strong opinions about it and for some reason keep chilling around in a thread about it. I’m not here to say its great, its okay. Just your “arguments” are rather absurd and you choose such a stupid simple series because if you just named a series that does have themes in the plot-line in the game you play your argument of a “forced message” falls apart. Like sure is it a bit on the nose with the “rich are vampires” but are you just blind to the common themes around vampires since dude nobility and the rich have always been subtext associated with vampires. Seriously, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Oh what was Dracula’s title? Oh yeah a fucking COUNT.

                Seems you’re actually watching yourself if flailing about is what you’re interested in since you’ve repeatedly failed to make anything resembling an actual point.

      So you want me to point you to an exact moment in the game? This passage is referenced in the 1991 instruction manual of the game as noted in the reference link on wikipedia. Specifically pages 3-4 and 20-28.

      And here are the actual pages from the instruction manual:

      Want to try again with a different media? I could do this all day since all media has some sort of messaging. It’s human nature.

        You’re proving my point tenfold lmao. If you have to go to external media to find the message, you’re making a pretty major reach to say it was the priority of the media.

          you mean the game drenched in cyberpunk art direction has the themes and messaging of the cyberpunk genre? shocking.

              the people who made the game have literally come straight out and told you what the game is about in its original manual, and you’re still arguing?

              you’re being given the answers here and still scoring a 0

                Jesus you’re fucking stupid. If you have to go to auxiliary material for the meaning, it’s a fucking retarded argument to say it overshadows the entertainment.

                  You don’t have to go to “auxiliary” material. You’re just not particularly media literate.

                  Why would I sit here and try and explain media analysis to you when we have a literal statement from the creators about what the game is about, and you’re still disagreeing about what the game is about?

                    I get that you’re just a retarded troll but at least pretend you’ve read a single fucking one of my comments before responding to shit I never fucking said.
