Liberty Prime would be a better satire if it wasn't, canonically, incredibly useful to saving the Wasteland. In lore it was meant to be an impractical boondoggle that cost so much money it fucked the American people over, but in game it's a useful weapon of war used to kill fascists and take back a water purifier
Would've been a better satire if they'd taken the voice module out and drawn attention to how annoying the jingoism was, or if it didn't even work at all and all it did was spout jingoisms
Literally what I was about to say. I actually think the original tweet isn't actually that far off and this is sort of in the vein of the criticism that Star Wars kinda invariably winds up making the empire, and be extension fascism, look really cool.
Cause like here's a hot take....giant 20 story tall death robots are fucking cool and metal as shit when they actually work.
