CTHULHU GOT WOKE! - An old-timer's review.

[Beyonder1979]

Old timer here and Lovecraft fan since I was 14 years old. I have almost every Lovecraftian video game ever made. Some of them you haven't even heard of.

I've been waiting for this game for a long time and I had high hopes for it. An open world Lovecraftian game! I pre-ordered it for the PS4 and played it as soon as it was available.

And after getting 100% Trophies and seeing everything the game has to offer, I have this short review for you.

The Good:

- Open World
- Nice Investigation System, similar to last year's Official Call of Cthulhu video game. Also shares similarities with the Evidence Extrapolation System of the Darkness Within games.
- Good Story with many branching/alternate paths and side stories
- Wardrobe function with many character skins/clothes

The Bad:

- Changed names everywhere. For the places as well as for the Old Ones. No Cthulhu here. Just Cthygonaar. No Esoteric Order of Dagon, just Everyone's Obvious Duty...
- Repetitive Gameplay
- Too much combat!
- Only 4 types of enemies, none of them recognizable Lovecraftian creatures from the Mythos!

And the greatest negative of all:

- PURE SOCIO-POLITICAL PROPAGANDA!

This game has it all. LGBT characters, Feminism Posters all over, Innsmouthers are the GOOD guys and they're portrayed as illegal immigrants who are attacked by the KKK, the Order of Dagon is now an Extremist/Terrorist Organization, Trump Reference: a local Politician wants to build a wall around the city, Leftism, anti-fascism, anti-racism, anti-nationalism, open borders, History Revisionism...

This game is pure INDOCTRINATION and is pushing this agenda HARD!

If I had known that it would contain all that, I'd NEVER have bought it! Do NOT make the mistake I made!

To Developers: Please take your POLITICAL AGENDAS out of our entertainment!

To Gamers: This is NOT an accurate representation of the 1920s! This is History Revisionism!

To Lovecraft fans: Poor Howard is rolling in his grave...

Conclusion:

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! It was the greatest disappointment of 2019. If you want REAL Lovecraftian games, buy the Official Call of Cthulhu game instead. The devs of that game have signed a contract with Chaosium to keep making official COC games for the next 10 YEARS. Also check out the 2 Darkness Within games, as well as Conarium and the upcoming Transient.

And as you run out of arguments you just start acting dumb, lol. :D

M-M-M-MONSTER PWN
jokes aside, I dunno what I had to "prove" when I just offered an analysis that was ignored, then called a murderer. I guess I had to prove I wasn't a murderer that killed billions of people? Whatever, I'm only trying to convince some moron on the Steam forums who doesn't know people IRL and only learns things from google's 1st page results.

Hey BladerunnerADX, I'm still waiting on you to show us how the far left has destroyed Star Trek.

I can back my claims up.

Still nothing.

Just watch how they disrespect Picard in it. That's far left stuff, "white men bad, white men evil, waaaah!" It's the same with star wars. They got to tear down the old characters to make way for their ♥♥♥♥ ones that is not even 1/10th of the original ones.

That is your claim. Repeating your claim does not equal backing up your claim.

Yes, they're pushing a far left agenda in it, that is ruining these francises. That's my answer. Want to have a good tv series these days, look at game of thrones (last season not counting)

How does you saying it is destroyed prove that it is destroyed? Answer: It is not.

You said you can back up your claims. I said you cannot. I am correct.

I think I'm out because this feels like participating in a Turing test where the AI is not very advanced.

Yeah, I agree. Arguing with the two of you is like talking to a brick wall. Only the brick wall would be more agreeable and have better points than the two of you.

Diversity is a far left idea because the far left believes in freedom for all races and genders. The far left abolished slavery by killing the slave owners, and this guy is still pissed about it.

Lmfao, the left hates white people(which ended slavery pretty much everywhere in the entire world), that was the english that decided that it was not to be allowed and as the major power on earth at the time everyone else just had to fall in line and abolish it.
Yes, in the US it stuck around for a while, but even there the first real slave owner over there was a black man. (slavery as in no way to ever become free at least, it was indentured servitude before that when you could eventually earn your freedom once you paid back what you owed.) And did you know it was actually the left that had the most slaves back then as well? They just hide behind multiculturalism these days to hide their past.

And you can believe in freedom for all races and genders even if you oppose the left insanity, even if you don't think so. Just because someone doesn't want to have 100% open borders so literally anyone can just walk in and do whatever doesn't mean they oppose other people's rights. But I guess you think the muslim rape gangs in the UK that go around drugging and raping underage girls is completely ok.

Not a white supremacist when it's a proven fact that the organized gangs that do that in the UK overwhelmingly consist of muslim men that see the women they do it to as second class citizens at best.

None of this is true. Again, your only knowledge of the world depends on you googling and getting white power sites as the 2nd or 3rd search result. You have no life off of internet forums to inform your political opinion. That's why you have no clue why Kronstadt, Turtle Island, or syndicalism are important to anyone.

It's because CNN/FOX/4CH haven't caught up on a trend with these terms, so they're hidden in page 2 or 3 of google search results, and they're devoid of actually people's analysis outside of a mention on a history site. If you had actual humans in your life with real experiences, you'd probably have caught the nuance behind anything you consider "far leftist" (like access to healthcare, or how capitalism is a violent economic structure), or hell, even a story from any Muslim person who would help you dispel the fake stories made up about "Muslim Ray Guns."

You have no life outside of internet searches, you've said it and it shows, and it's sad.

Dispel the stories? Lmfao. There's actual evidence of them and lots of stories from actual people about it, and you're trying to say they don't exist. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell, talk about living in looney land. Denying reality isn't good for you.

Yes that's what I wrote. Breitbart and other right-wing tabloids straight up make fake news stories. You ever hear that term before? It originates because white power groups make up this narrative that "all Muslims are rapists and they're coming here to do it to our white women!" 120-50 years ago that was written about black men in the USA, and many accusations were found to be false - even after the men accused were lynched.
Or, if brown or black men actually engage in violence against women (it happens) it's somehow linked to their biology or religion. It's also constantly disregarded when looking at white men as sexual predators, which there are many popular cases of, but white power blogs will never relate that to a problem among whiteness or manhood.
The "actual evidence" is a cyclical RSS feed of a white supremacist making something up on a blog, that article getting picked up by another blog, then that going on 4CH, then to Twitter, then to FOX/CNN/Dailey Mail UK, then swallowed by gullible white boys who are susceptible to white masculine victimhood and dominance. It also sounds like you fell for it too.

I never said all muslims are rapists tho, now did I? Noone has as far as I'm aware. I did say that the rape gangs consist of muslims in the overwhelming majority of the UK cases. But hey, just keep sticking your head in the sand and pretend the problem doesn't exist. That's what the left does best anyway, I'd not expect anything else from you.
