Gamer 2.0 review: Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise

Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise doesn't change much from the first title in terms of originality, but the new additions definitely make it feel more refined. The easier search mechanics and terrain management offer hours of easy playability while the inclusion of multiplayer and the ability to share your garden and adventures with friends is a welcome touch. Trouble in Paradise still brings the same addictive nature that the first game was well known for, but it feels more of like an expansion pack than a full-fledged sequel.

...that a SEQUEL, to a BRAND NEW IP...and a niche one at that...is getting such great reviews. This game may not sell well, but MS has proven it's faith in Rare is not misplaced. I can't wait for BK3. :)

I like how this game got a better average review score than Mercenaries 2. Having said that I havent played any of the viva pinata games and dont plan on it, just cause im not into those types of games. But im glad rare has made a new IP worth talking about, and I still have faith in them that they can make a better Perfect Dark and better new IPs, or remake some of their older classics, unlike some of the people on here, who not only hate M$, but have no faith in Rare anymore. Good goin Rare, keep on goin!!

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.
