Good sh*t. Check out the anime “Wolf’s Rain” for a similar vibe. (The ending credits song of Felidae reminded me of it.)
I decided to play Terminator 3: Dark Fate. Of course, I chose the maximum difficulty – Realism. The tutorial missions went relatively well, though I had to sweat a bit to ensure at least some of my squad survived and progressed to the next missions. The game works like this: you start with certain squads, and some of them carry over to the next mission. They gain experience and unlock new skills. In different missions, you can recruit new squads. There are also city outposts where you can purchase personnel and equipment. You can also loot vehicles during missions: cars, Humvees, and even tanks.
However, there’s a catch: the larger your squad, the more resources it consumes, and resources are limited. This presents a dilemma: what to sell and what to keep and develop. Resources are always scarce, so you need to invest in the most effective units and upgrade them. Vehicles and tanks can also be upgraded with armor, weapons, and engine modifications.
The game feels like a Mad Max-style survival experience, with a convoy of vehicles racing through the desert: small maneuverable cars, APCs, makeshift artillery on trailers, and trucks carrying supplies and fuel. There can also be separate transport trucks. The entire team is self-sufficient; if you run out of fuel and a tank stops, it’s essentially lost and won’t make it to the next mission.
There’s a wide variety of units: assault troops, snipers, special forces, etc. You need to assemble your team to have several self-sufficient groups that can hold various points on the map, as missions often require controlling multiple locations.
When I started the main missions after the tutorial, I really struggled. Maps that were supposed to take an hour ended up taking 10 hours to complete. Even then, victory wasn’t guaranteed. I reached the cartel city, where enemy Humvees with artillery prevented me from approaching. I managed to defeat them with tremendous effort, but then decided to go back two missions to acquire my own artillery. I replayed those missions, bought artillery, and dismantled the Humvees.
Eventually, I completed the game. Even towards the end, I was still learning new things. Such hardcore games are interesting because you can’t beat them on the first try. I think this game is underappreciated by the gaming community due to its specific gameplay – strategy games aren’t very popular nowadays because they require thinking, which many modern gamers find unappealing. Nevertheless, the game turned out to be very successful and provides a unique gaming experience not found in other titles.
chatgpt slop?
I will add that on the plus side there is a theme about founding a Father, which is a wholesome theme, but on the negative side there is a feminist captain promoting the tiresome girl-power meme.
The messaging in this is terrible >your dad is secretly an evil killer >family men with normal lives are secretly evil killers >mystery meat pop stars good
Oh, but I guess that tired cliché of grief in a horror film was still there. Definite minus points but still recommend it.
Heads up: There’s some woke stuff sprinkled throughout the film, though it’s not the main focus of the story.

gpt is american development…
Another important point that I did not mention is that this series “Ghost in the Shell” promotes a feminist agenda – the main character is a strong, independent and self-sufficient woman who easily defeats men. This is not the right pattern of behavior for a girl, such attitudes can harm the female psyche. A woman reveals herself in following a man, her role is family and children. Such women are usually happy. When a woman takes a role in society that is not characteristic of her, trying to compete with men, she may not withstand such stress and this results in mental problems and depression – an example of “American Beauty”. Therefore, watching this film, for example with children, you need to realize that this woman is a robot and she is forced to act in such conditions and explain how to do it right, and it is better not to watch such films with children at all.
Stunning and brave.
Hey, could you add an option to let us delete/edit reviews after we post them? Sometimes there’s mistakes I don’t catch at first.
On the movie details pages, it would be cool if you showed the top billing cast under ‘Writers’ instead of having it hidden in a tab underneath
In a modern context, this parable can serve as an illustration of how various woke-minorities take advantage of the kindness and tolerance of the true masters to dictate their agenda.

Yeah, I watched it the other day and decided to share my impressions. It’s scary that people have forgotten how to think and form their thoughts and perceive any consistent text as the generation of a neural network.
