don't want to make this another Deep Discourse thing, but discussion about criticism of TLOU2's violence from reviewers in the game industry led to a friend of mine pointing out that this is an industry conversation and it makes some sense for a huge game to be discussed. HOWEVER

DOOM ETERNAL. Also came out earlier this year, was massively acclaimed as far as I can tell. It's not my kind of game for purely non ideology reasons (too twitch based) but can anyone tell me: did anyone bring up the pervasiveness of violence in video games in those reviews?

Because DOOM ETERNAL is a sequel to a remake of THE ARCHETYPICAL violent game, the one that was blamed for Columbine. If there wasn't a similar level of conversation about its violence, I think I'm fairly justified in claiming a double standard

But. I didn't read reviews of it, so maybe there was that conversation and I just missed it

Yeah it's funny that a lot of a certain kind of indie pretentiousness is transparently about "stay off my turf" Big budget commercial works that are "just dumb fun" are allowed, even actively encouraged Hollywood only becomes sneerworthy when it "tries to be deep"
