      Opulence and excess lead to brutality.

        One hell of a reach there. Anything to actually show it’s an intentional message and not just reading between lines that don’t exist on your part?

          Pulled from wikipedia:

          F-Zero begins in the year 2560 where the human race’s countless encounters with alien life forms throughout the universe greatly expanded Earth’s social framework resulting in trade, technology transfer, and cultural interchange are carried out on an interplanetary basis. An association of wealthy space merchants created the “F-Zero Grand Prix”, in an attempt to add some excitement to their opulent lifestyles. When the first race was held, people were angered at the brutality of the competition, due to the various obstacles and traps along the raceway. As time passed, however, they became accustomed to these dangers, and even began to demand more excitement and danger in the races. Winning the F-Zero championship soon became the highest claim to fame in the universe. This period of time is called the “old-school” F-Zero days where the rules seemed non-existent in F-Zero X.

            Yeah, I meant the game, not a Wikipedia article.

              So you want me to point you to an exact moment in the game? This passage is referenced in the 1991 instruction manual of the game as noted in the reference link on wikipedia. Specifically pages 3-4 and 20-28.

              And here are the actual pages from the instruction manual:

              Want to try again with a different media? I could do this all day since all media has some sort of messaging. It’s human nature.

                You’re proving my point tenfold lmao. If you have to go to external media to find the message, you’re making a pretty major reach to say it was the priority of the media.

                  You have to be trolling. It’s from the game’s own instruction manual. How is that external media? Obviously it was a priority if they put it in the instruction manual as background info for the game.

                  Looking at your profile confirms my thoughts. Maybe take the hint when everyone is downvoting you. You’re just a troll. Blocked.

                    If I load up and play f-zero, where does that content fall? The answer is nowhere, since you’re just hiding behind a block instead of admitting you have no argument. Funny how you think I’m the troll for calling you on your bullshit.

                  you mean the game drenched in cyberpunk art direction has the themes and messaging of the cyberpunk genre? shocking.
