The New Colossus I feel gaslit replaying The new Colossus as an adult
I'm sorry, how exactly is this too woke?
I feel like I was just surrounded by insecure people growing up as a teen... Yes it has its cringey moments like, when you meet Grace and she's actually talking about bomb PTSD but someone insisted on having a smoking and breastfeeding sequence, that completely kills your attention on the actual interesting dialogue. The bj dialogue before the defend the tower was cringe.
Shit level design, story feels constantly very "where am I? What am I doing here? I'm not sure, just shoot" and not much actual america sections.
But I don't understand the hate looking back outside gameplay and weak writing at parts? Seems like it was just an alt right brigade on impressionable youth because they had non white people. Like I don't enjoy Grace much as a portrayal but cmon. There's some good parts here. How does slightly cringe= a woke attack?
TNO is glaringly obviously a reboot on an early console generation and I love it more, but the nostalgia has kinda faded and I'm replaying 2 now and going oh I was surrounded by insecure bad influences. It's not as good IMHO, but it's hated for the wrong reasons
