#Far cry primal lost caves simulator
This is a lavishly detailed caveman simulator that wouldn’t feel out of place stationed inside a plastic Flintstones bone car between Primal Rage (1994) and Daytona USA (1993). In practice, almost all of these attempts at Mesolithic realism lead to an experience that feels, paradoxically, much more arcade-like and artificial than other Far Cry games. Like any Assassin’s Creed, the game is ostentatiously and impressively devoted to period detail: everyone speaks variants of an actual prehistoric language called “proto-indo-European” outfits and environments look like they were ripped straight out of a diorama in a natural history museum your arsenal is limited to a bow, a spear, and a club. UNAPOLOGETICALLY AN EXERCISE IN PROJECTION The lines are drawn pretty clearly, without much in the way of nuance or narrative variation. And then there’s your tribe, the Wenja, who aspire only to make a comfortable home in the land of Oros without having to fend off threats both human and not. There’s the “fire-wielding” Izila, the blue team, somewhat enlightened-they sort of discovered agriculture-but held back by a crazy religion. There’s the Unga Bunga-like Udam, a bunch of unregenerate cannibals who have barely mastered tool use and look suspiciously like Neanderthals. The game places you in the middle of a three-sided conflict between tribes of cave people circa 10,000 BCE. Which is to say it often feels enormously, almost amazingly stupid. But you give them dirty hamburgers from WitchyWorld and it becomes clear that they, not the Unga Bungas, will be the inheritors of the earth.įar Cry Primal is basically everything I just described, without a whole lot of irony. Banjo and Kazooie find the Oogle Boogles starving to death in a dark cave, blockaded by their tyrannical rivals. The Unga Bungas are a warlike people, barely more than sentient beards with clubs they get very mad when you try to sneak into their cave and routinely administer “big beatings.” The Oogle Boogles, by contrast, are meek and civilized, aspiring not to rule Terrydactyland but to “share” its primeval abundance. OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: In case you missed out on the training day we’ve been blabbing about nonstop, you can still join the 10,000+ womb warriors fighting the patriarchy by clicking HERE for your toolkit, marching orders, and more.Those who remember Banjo-Tooie (2000) with great fondness, as I do, may remember the ceaseless, bitter conflict between the Unga Bungas and the Oogle Boogles.
So, listen to us doing our favorite things: running our mouths about reproductive justice and dragging anti-abortion shitbrain goblin dickpuffins for filth! The world is heavy right now, but we got you. Class is in session! Aurea’s schooling us on ballot initiatives, COLOR’s dope wins, the importance of language in the reproductive rights movement, and she’s busting myths and dropping stats on the Latinx pro-abortion community. Joining us in our shenanigans this week is Aurea Bolaños Perea, the strategic communications director at COLOR Latina (Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights). Plus, some frauds are trying to exploit and charge pregnant folks for janky $1,500 abortions on a wack “climate-controlled” boat. We’re exposing Kansas’s number one sore loser, who’s got his forced-birther head stuck so far up his ass he’s willing to put his house and retirement savings on the line to fund a lost cause recount of Kansas’s recent win for abortion at the ballot box.
Michigan is still acting up and making headlines for the wrong reasons, while Florida is serving us a tiny sliver of a bright spot. Your Feminist Buzzkills are delivering the bad, the badder, and the not-so-bad news that’s been dropping in these reproductive streets. “Feminist Buzzkills Live!” is broadcasting LIVE! from Netroots Nation in Pittsburgh this week, with a whole entire live audience, too! Rage and laugh with us as we raise hell and awareness on all the latest updates in the abortion world that you and your uterus need to know.
