Why do you pay for that trash though.

I love killing robot dinosaurs with a bow and arrow. The combat system is a lot of fun, you're trying to hit very specific points on a moving target that's fairly effective at trying to kill you back. At harder difficulties you're forced to employ strategies rather than Leeroy Jenkins your way through. Even the terrain you choose to fight on can make a drastic difference in the outcome.

You can't just pick an OP weapon either, there are interesting ammunition limitations both in what you can carry and the economy of replacing the ammunition. For instance, I can't just lob bombs endlessly at my enemies not only because I can only carry so much ammunition, and so many components to make the ammunition on the go, but also because I will deplete those components faster than I can replenish them.

The graphics are beautiful too. The only downside I can think of, and unfortunately it's a rather big one, is that the plot on the second one was pretty uninteresting, but the gameplay is a lot of fun and there are a number of technical improvements.

Those sony games are filled with communist brainwashing though. Sony even went to the trouble of making everyone, even the main character, much uglier than previously because the uglification of people is one of the communist ideals, as in, "You are only a short-lived meat bag and thus you CAN'T be beautiful." There are tons of subtle communist messages in these games.

I say this, and at the same time, I have stopped buying anything from Activision-Blizzard ages ago, for example. The reason is different but the action is the same: voting with my dollars.

But you do you and keep voting communist I suppose.

The game could be made by a pack of anarchist cannibals that kick puppies and drown kittens, and it'd still be really fun to play.

Regular Aloy wasn't exactly a super model anyways, although they did fugly her up a bit.
