Press X to demonstrate your ability to readīlood Dragon is smarter than it has any right to be. It’s best to just accept Blood Dragon for exactly what it is: ridiculous, hilarious bullsh*t.
If you wanted to, you could read the just-released stand-alone DLC’s neon, synth-soaked, crotch-grabbing aesthetic as a perversely ironic meta-commentary on ‘80s-flavored hipster culture.

Under the divisive direction of Clint Hocking, Far Cry 2 gained something of a reputation as a series that was, at least to some degree, willing to mold the trappings of triple-A design into a deeper commentary.
