Ah yeah, I think that’s it. I was felt mad that I kept trying everything to avoid dropping phosphorous. They take away your agency, and force you to do a war crime. I’m guessing that later they call you out for being a bad person for doing that?
Can I ask why? That’s where I gave up, but I keep having trouble articulating why.
Life is Strange
The entire premise is that the protagonist can turn back time, and make different decisions.
Except for cut-scenes. As soon as a cut-scene hits, suddenly its “You aren’t able to rewind time right now”, with no narrative explanation. Like, I get that you didn’t want to program that part, but the entire premise is about rewinding time, to try different decisions. Now I’m stuck having made an arbitrary decision, because I thought I was going to be able to go back and pick differently.
I recently watched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salò%2C_or_the_120_Days_of_Sodom
It was… interesting, but going for more “shock”, than actual substance.
It’s a fun movie, but it’s only for a selective taste. It’s also has a lot of very problematic scenes.
I only know this because of Archer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIWDVuHDpq0

Wow, good on Ubisoft. I usually don’t trust them, so I do wonder if they are trying something shitty, but this seems cool.
I think you are starting off with an incorrect premise: In the US, the role of the cops is not to keep people, or society safe. It often also has very little to due with “the law”.
The role is to keep the rich and powerful, rich and powerful. They are meant to oppress people, and keep the slave-machine running. Cops shooting people, stealing from them, escalating situations, and not knowing the law is the intended situation.
In that sense, the cops are doing their job to great effect, and don’t need any more training.
Ah, that’s dumb. That whole area of the game had strong “Stop hitting yourself” vibes.
