Man I remember when games were simply about having fun and none of this political crap

Man I remember when games were simply about having fun and none of this political crap...

all art is political

Posted the same discord tranny meme again.
Btw ywnbaw

It'd be funny to see how people would react to Deus Ex if it was made today.

How is underrail? Can I go in full psycho and stab everything to death? Or is it

gun good

use gun

no use gun is not how game designed

you die

So how many of these games were mass layoff free?

Political then: a critique of society, of its hierarchies, of its traditions, slavery, poverty, free will

Political now: faggot acceptance

How is underrail

SOVL. Think of it as a turn-based action/rpg with emphasis on action
Game's built around build autism

Retard

I don't mind games being political if their politics are based. The main camplaint gamers have with games nowadays is that their politics are gay and insufferable.

I have no idea why you're talking about Underrail here but it has very good build variety. Stabbing, hammering, pistoling, shotgunning, assault rifling, crossbowing, mind controlling, heat/cold magicking, it all works. And they all feel different to each other too.
The dev is autistic about balance and has been tinkering with it ever since release. He wants everything to be viable and he's had a decade to make sure it is. At this point some build types are weaker than others but they're all very playable.

If only the kind of people defending modern preachy horseshit would ever actually play those games.
I remember when leftypol turds made entire list of "le based leftist games" and then it turned out they hadn't play any of them and just went off twitter "vibes".

bioshock and deus ex are literally jewish propaganda

You can go and murder everything except your starting faction. If you turn SGS hostile the game will brick and be unable to complete. You can still play the game but the main quest is fucked.

Good shit, and underrail got mentioned cause my right hands busted and old school fallout reminded me of its existence.

Good thing games aren't art.

Double good shit, gonna murder hobo on the first run just to see how far I get.

faggot redditors still try to push this

Learn difference between realpolitik and identity politics.

Kill yourself OP. You can play many games that have no political themes to them. The greatest game of all time, TimeSplitters 2, has none- it's simply a spoof of films and pop culture.

This has been said numerous times, but the contemporary approach to infusing hot-button politics in media is garbage. The people writing it don't put story first, and the message they're trying to send to begin with is the dumbest shit in existence. Now, you can stop conflating actual good games with slop like Concord.

If we're being specific, I miss the time when you could talk about a game online without some dipshit bending over backwards to explain how it secretly aligns with their exact brand of retarded politics

none of those featured tranny "politics"

Old games: Gov/God/etc. is bad
New games: whites are bad

name 3 games

this has never been debunked

Then: Any and all political ideas are woven into the world building in a way that made the game world and its characters far more interesting.
Now: All the female characters are just annoying, purposefully ugly, "lesbians" with penis envy.
Or: Murder is fine, but racism isn't.
Or: Duuuuuhhrr, Drumph BAD.
Or: Body Type A and B.

politics then: greed bad, war bad, pollution bad
politics now: kill whitey, show everyone your cock

body type A and B

it changes nothing its just a lazy text box swap 100% of the time

you still get assblasted over it

Why you keep spamming this same shit you are just try to justify games where they have ugly negroes in european fantasy it's cringe and lame "See guys games were always lame and gay and target audience was women so now we will make every game with strong women protagonist" I know what you are doing

So is Mass Effect

Political now: faggot acceptance

That still covers 5/6 of the listed critiques of society.

interesting fictional ingame politics is not the same as suck this transcock or you're a nazi real life politics

People don't like liberal propaganda not politics in general. Here's a debunk.

Oh yeah that body type A and B. what kinda mentally ill weirdo has to change male an female.

The point is it's a stupid change, a stupid political ideology, and the "political games" today are utterly retarded. People making games today are demonstrably dumber than the people who made those games in the past and the political ideas of today are honestly ridiculous.

Political videogames nowadays attempt to blatantly alienate you.
This is the difference.
If you can't see it you are a NPC.

no amount of gaslighting will make me like your garbage modern game.

its a change that amounts to literally nothing it changes nothing you'd have an argument if they just deleted gender all together and you were forced to play as some androgynous character but that just isn't the case male and female still exist under a lazy rename and you are STILL having massive shitfits over them like gaming is dead because of it. Literal snowflake reactions.

correct

it changes nothing it's just lazy textbot swap

trannies at nexusmods still have a meltdown every time someone posts a mod that turns it back to male/female

The fuck are you talking about just call it male and female. What kinda asshat calls male and female A and B it's weird and creepy also eww.

Why are you defending a lazy, weird, unneeded renaming of male/female, like it's some hill you have to die on? You're acting like I'm the weird one for thinking it's stupid.

You are not entitled to my money, and I do not owe anything to you.
You had good sales? Good for you.
You had base sales? Too bad.

I'm not defending it but its also retarded to have massive meltdowns over it constantly. Its literally a nothingburger.

THE GUN IS GOOD, THE PENIS IS EVIL!

Can someone tell me why these limbdicked ugly bald leftist have gotten so bold usually peopel would just bash their skull and laugh when they stutter when talking to women. spouting their creepy garbage here.

If it doesnt matter why are you arguing for it you disingenuous fuck? Dont change it if it doesnt matter.

Why is it always pathetic males doing this?
god you are pathetic

fictional worlds with a high level message like "environment good" is the same as lecturing the player about annoying, charged modern topics like transgenderism and identity politics

and it doesn't even make sense in the setting, like medieval times where they have more to worry about like being eaten by dragons

This but unironically

"ERM, WHY DO YOU CARE?"

man I remember when Anon Babble was simply about having fun and none of this crap

I hope that leftist scumback just killed himself nobody wants creepy weirdos like that in this world.

I didn't have a massive meltdown over it. I said politics in those older games were woven into the world building, while modern games are dumbass identity politics and feminist garbage. Then you went off on me. The Type A/Type B shit was the last thing I added to my initial post because it was literally the last thing I thought of when thinking of ideas to post for how dumb shit is today.

YWNBAW

seething

Whether something is political is based on intent not on French pseudoscience written in the late 60's.

You insult me because you can't dispute the point.

What games main themes are identity politics? like genuine question. I don't think a single lazy name change for male and female at the start of a game that you will never see again unless you make a new character constitutes as "this games politics are identity politics"

Veilguard

it changes nothing

then why do you care :)

fascism, racism and war are...le bad

Whoa...video games truly have deep writing and a lot to say about politics.

forgot about bioware shit but haven't they done this shit before

Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and Silent Hill would all be considered work franchises if released nowdays because they frature strong female protagonists.

I don't care about it being either or getting mad at it just seems silly when it doesn't actually affect the game at all aside from one menu screen

It's a stupid term, but what people mean by "political" is when a game overtly and badly preaches some sort of speculative, eutopic ideas. Most overtly political games (which are usually military based) pull from history or on-going conflicts, focus on human stories, have an element of tragedy or even fatalism to them, and immerse in a world view without talking down to you.

MGS Peace Walker is an overtly Marxist game where you fight as a very Che style Big Boss against the CIA and along side and Sandanistas. But it doesn't ever lecture you on what to believe in that annoying Bay area college student way "political" games do. It's not beyond pointing out the drug dealing of the rebels, or making their key figures flawed people. And ultimately it's about Big Boss as a person, technofear, and conflict in general.
That's why no one got mad at it.

Definitely. There's plenty of LGBT games on steam, but I can't rattle off a list because I hide that category.

a game talking about elites controlling the world is the same as a game having the main villain be a blonde dude with orange-ish skin named Ro'ald Brumph

There's a difference between a girl being present and a writer going full retard with

"THAT'S RIGHT YOU STINKING GAMERS PLAYING THIS!! I'M A GIRL! AND BETTER THAN MALES AT EVERYTHING, AND ALSO I HAVE NO CHARACTER ARC BECAUSE WOMEN ARE NATURALLY BETTER! (but still somehow oppressed)"

I don't think indie shit really matters in the grand scheme of things. If someones little personal project has some gay shit in it who cares. I don't really understand the getting upset over veilguard being woke shit when its bioware and they've been doing shit like this for at least 10 years now its not like people are being tricked or some shit

game having the main villain be a blonde dude with orange-ish skin named Ro'ald Brumph

never happened

allegories of Trump, punch maga/nazies, communism is le good, diversity is our strength, race swap, bossgirl, and of-course trannies, trannies, trannies, trannies and some more tranny dick for you goy. Suck it.

it's fun but also kinda gay that he locks some of the contents into the highest difficulty. Most of the builds can clear the game just fine except for dominating. You need to min-max your build for that

Are zoomers trolling or are they actually retarded. I can't tell anymore. I mean at the end of the day you look like a fucking retard so there's no difference

Here we go again.

"It's not happening!"

"OK it's happening, but only in 1 example!"

"OK, there's many examples, but why do you care???"

Next you'll go

"It's everywhere, but that's a good thing!"

killing nazis has been video game culture for decades though why is this bad now

stage 1 cancer is so much better than stage 3 cancer

damn you are really oppressed by some faggot that opened rpgmaker and made their ocs kiss you poor thing

Heh chuds, you enjoyed games that explained that government conspiracies, hyper-corporatism, and needless conflict are bad?

Then you need to like games that claim that Whiteness is bad, men are bad, and gays are 90% of the population, CHUDS!

Fuck off. You have to be actually retarded to think that a game like Bioshock or Deus ex has an objectively wrong outlook on reality.

so why aren't those games considered woke?

You have to be actually retarded to think that a game like Bioshock or Deus ex has an objectively wrong outlook on reality.

those games being right doesn't make them not political

Exactly/ None of the games in the picture were political. Why must troons make all games political nowadays?

uhmmmm but he not blond and not called like u say??? h-heh check mate

you know well what I meant you retarded nigger, stop being a disingenuous gaslighting faggot

gays are 90% of the population

soon

I get it. Subtlety is a lost art form, now they just ram their political messages down our throats.

he's bald and isn't orange

I accept your total and absolute concession.

Nobody denied they were political, retard. Deus Ex's first fucking level has a dude talk to you about taxes, government conspiracies and planned-diseases.
Notice how none of those are faggy propaganda about how you should have buttsex or else you're a nazi?

God I hate "people" born after 2000

t. raped

I punched everything to death and used some psych magic
maybe you'll have problems in the dlc with the jet ski's, didn't play it

to this day i still dont understand what rights trannies want. especially when most of them look like george washington

Underrail is an amazing game.

You didn’t use meme arrows so it means you say that.

t. raped

this many faggots still seething that Trump won.

propaganda about how you should have buttsex or else you're a nazi?

what game does this

What's with these weird threads in the catalogue? Is Anon Babble being raided again?

Inaccurate. Gamers don't shower. Fake gamer detected, opinion rejected.

this is us

Some faggot 14 year old decided to be le ebin troll probably.

There's literal billion dollar agencies who's explicit purpose is to stifle online dissent. Anon Babble gets a pretty large share of their operations.
And the best part? A decade of funding and they still don't know how to meme.

ass garbage thread
I'm sageposting Ted Raimi until thread dies

more likely to be cured, but yeah, don't want it at all

Tomb Raider

The first game has Lara dual-wielding handguns shooting wolves while doing backflips in the first five minutes.
Nu-Lara was 'designed to be progressive' and has her being brutally tortured every five minutes and she can't even backflip with dual handguns.
If Tomb Raider was released today it'd be lambasted for being racist and non-progressive. Oh wait it WAS re-released and had a disclaimer saying exactly that.

A good political game asks you who is right. A bad political game tells you who is right.

Games back then were well-written. They were focused on telling a good, compelling story as much as they were focused on making a point.

lmao trumptards literally can never disguise their butthurt

Kojima is a bit of a faggot

durr war is le bad

no, war can never possibly be in self-defense

hurr why can't we all get along

and his hapa obsession

I'm old enough to remember when gamers were insulted because Roger Ebert wrote an essay about how games can never be art

leftists cant argue without being disingenuous cuz they know theyre wrong

Imagine coming up with a fallacy because too many normalfags told you that you're crying over nothing

"It doesn't matter unless you're oppressed!"

The goal keeps shifting

is this our new cope?

You and they have that in common. They don't know either. They just say slogans without any meaning or intent except to generate sympathy.

What is even political about Forspoken? An isekai protagonist three witches while constantly reminding the audience how embarrassed she is to be in the game. Is the constant obnoxious sarcasm supposed to be a commentary on terminal irony?

No spider-man? faggot

THESE GAMES ARE ALL FAGGOT PROPAGANDA ITS BEING FORCED DOWN MY THROAT

the game in question is some random fucks single dev indie game he made for himself with a total playcount of like 5

you are so fragile

You think I invented that fallacy? lol

nigger

"IT'S NOT HAPPENING"

get told examples

"IT IS HAPPENING, BUT (excuses)"

You are so dishonest.

those indie games no one is playing are such a problem man yeah

bait post
but as always its retarded
vtmbs politics proof is one retard commie npc saying one line that has no bearing on the game and the game shows you she's retarded lmao
vtmb is about politics; vampire politics, completely unrelated to real life society and has no parallels, which is why it's interesting and neat.
mgs2 and deus ex politics are; what if every conspiracy theory was real (it mostly is) taken to its conclusion and without holding back because x/y/z group in real life will try to stop your product existing. they have balls to talk truth instead of being simply paid social engineering propaganda.
ff7 isn't political at all, "muh shinra killing the planet bad" stops being a plot point about 6 hours into the game at most and it completely pivots.
fallout isn't political in any relation to real life society either, it's just "people will be dogshit animals if society collapses" for the most part
we could go on, these are mostly bad examples that disprove this shitty argument if you actually play the games and aren't a politics brain rotted retard who thinks every bit of media is espousing your particular views on society

It's not a real fallacy. lol

Bioware is indie now?

Good game but if you don't have a min max build you die fast. It doesn't let me explore nor respec

Enlightened centrist chad here.
You faggots are different sides of the same coin and act the same way.

did you really buy a bioware game expecting non woke shit? are you that much of a retard

How's non figuartive art political?

no reply

Yeah that'a what I thought. Enjoy getting deprofessionalized.

How was VTMB political?

"ERM, YOU BOUGHT (mainstream game)? YOU DESERVE TO BE FED GARBAGE FORCED ISSUE"

I didn't buy it, but how does that mean it isn't happening?

what even are the politics of bioshock?

what if ancapistan underwater

ok

what if america in the sky

but let's bring minorities for some reason

Is the joke that all of these games are political?

when the politics weren't fags and africans

Not too fond of niggers

Not buying your game

Simple as

Seems like a pretty solid point to make. You can't argue for triviality while still arguing towards your own stake in the issue. Not honestly, anyways.

Imagine needing to come up with a new fallacy because too many normal people told you to stop crying over nothing lol

I just don't like black people

Yeah, bro! Stop arguing against "us"!

Appeal to majority

FF7 stops being about "corporations bad" after the intro, Shinra just becomes some goofy villains after Midgard

telling you to shut up isn't the same as spending 10 years of your life making the same idpol thread over and over

Who made a thread? Not me. Anyways, keep up the fight, pronoun warrior! If you lie enough with your mask on, nobody will know your true intentions!

sisters, is my fantasy game political if one of the background kingdoms has child brides and niggers don't exist?

Just here to toss this one on the pile.

it doesn't matter

it changes nothing

why are you mad?

no you can't change it back, bigot

yes, we're going to force this on every game, even remakes

why are you obsessed with politics?

So you admit that the "appeal to triviality" isn't real and you just needed justification to cry about meaningless bullshit?
Concession accepted ;]

the political crap now:

ORANGE MAN BAD

TAKE THE VAXXERINO

youve been raiding this board for months. get a life lol

Damn! You caught me in another! Better double down!

I don't know why you try when your deceit is so visible.

uh no?

these two are the same thing

uhm actually it wasn't *me* that made this thread I just participate in it every time because it means that much to me

I win hehehe

wow this must be really important to you

heh, semantics

This is what you need to go to college for btw.

what's wrong here exactly?

You might have had a real insult, if you weren't making just as many replies.

No argument

No refutation

Concessarino acceptarino
Maybe next time you'll form a logical argument instead of relying on an anime image macro ;^P

being anti woke is being anti culture war

damn he was right all you have is empty replies

Don't you worry. Anons can spot a rat with or without following you up with a macro. But it upsets you so much, count on seeing it again.

DONT YOU RETARDS FUCKING SEE THAT THE RACE OR GENDER WAR IS A FUCKING DISTRACTION SO WE DONT ATTACK THE ABUSIVE RICH FUCKING OUR ASSES 24/7

THATS WHAT THOSE EARLY GAMES WERE ABOUT AND NOW ITS "HURRDURR IM FUCKING A BLACK GUY AND NOT YOU" FOR FUCK SAKES ITS THAT SIMPLE

Does anyone else have anti-woke fatigue?
It's pretty obvious that the whole anti-woke movement was just a way for griftoids to make third worlders give them rage clicks.

political message 2000-2010

hmm government seems corrupt

war is a racket

political message 2020-2025

UMM I'M TRANS

BLACK POWA

COMMUNISM IS... LE GOOD!

Anyone else hate anti-sjws.jpeg

the ""rich"" are tricking you to hate niggers and troons somehow

no not those rich that's antisemetic

Fuck off retard

fpbp

only for the last 6 years or so

I'm old enough to remember normalfags chimping over nothingburgers

you and everyone else over 6

Give me 5 good years of no woke and then I'll find anti-woke tiring. Until then, I don't want to hear your whining.

I just hate fags and blacks
