PinataIsland.info's exclusive Trouble in Paradise interview

PinataIsland.info recently chatted with Will Bryan and Justin Cook from Rare to learn about their latest offering, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise.
Also,jimmcq had the opportunity to play Trouble in Paradise for a couple hours at the 2008 Xbox 360 Spring Showcase in San Francisco. His impressions include also a description of how Pinata Vision will work.

Pinata Vision images don't have to be in the trading card format, it can be something that you printed yourself from an image your downloaded, or it can even be an image on a device like an iPhone or Zune. Just show the image with the barcode to your Vision Cam and it should scan.

Pinata Vision can do a lot more than just add pinatas though... It can change the time of day in your garden, change the weather, summon Professor Pester or send him away. The cards can include multiple barcodes to do really more advanced things like create a pinata with a specific name and accessories, etc.

Viva Pinata places a brutal lens on late-stage capitalism

When Rare developed Viva Piñata it was a cute game for the Xbox 360 to rival Pokémon. It shipped, wholesome and lurid, with every new 360 for basically the console's whole lifespan and spawned a co-operative play sequel, Trouble In Paradise.

I'm confused, is this review a joke? Did this imbecile just write a tediously long extremely boring review just to somehow, in her warped brain, link it to capitalism in order to say capitalism is evil? Or did I read that entire review wrong? Can someone clear this up for me?

It’s from an insufferable sjw, which isn’t that far off from a Marxist.

This is actually quite sad in actuality. This content writer could be using their time to actually fighting for liberation and the well-being for all in the living breathing world that is our streets, forests and communities.

In stead they choose to do it virtually in the most extreme capitalistic way (an environment where intangibility commands a high price for profit) with a boss begging mentality. How does this apply to those that want to be free from being exploited?

This isn't Marxism or even beyond left, it's a narrative of someone that is enjoying life as an exploiter and a sympathizer to all those that exploit.

The writer is a part of the problem.

Women make about ~80% of consumer purchases so, if anything, women benefit from the system and thus are the problem.

This was a funny read. The comments in here made it better, too.

Maybe, just maybe, some articles are meant to be entertaining and nothing more.
