All the best games are not just political, but explicitly and unashamedly leftist.
- Disco Elysium
- The Metal Gear franchise
- Most of Borderlands
- Hitman World of Assassination trilogy
- Doom (2016)
- Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas (Bethesda ones less so)
EVE Online is an ACCIDENTALLY leftist game. It presents a society functioning entirely on right-wing free market capitalism. It's fricking miserable to play. It's a hellscape. Everything sucks. And that happened organically, as an inevitable outcome of its premise. You could argue, if you were a fricking idiot, that Bioshock isn't "really" leftist because the plot simply DECIDED that Andrew Ryan's libertarian utopia failed. EVE Online just said "okay have at it" and within five years major power players had literally recreated OPEC.
Most games, even if they're right-wing, are pretty low-key about it. They'll be vaguely nationalistic military fetishism like Call of Duty.

The right-wing mindset is a very poor fit for any kind of dev work, and most non-right-wing devs don't want to put that shit in their game. The main reason for this, of course, is that right-wingers are basically incapable of making art.

TL;DR: Former #G*mergater turned furry lolcow. The

pipeline stays undefeated. She gets dunked on by leftoids, rightoids, and coomers

MGS V had you fighting commies in Afghanistan and IIRC actively supporting based Lion of Panjshir. Who cares if the main plotline was leftist, it was crazy anyway, I just like seeing T-62s go boom.

Not a vidya nerd but isn’t the central conflict of Metal Gear being that men should kill for their own reasons rather than being puppets for powerful shadow orgs? And it presents this via a private military’s attempts to take down a global cabal.
Kojima definitely just wanted to be Michael Bay but still.

The main theme (through all its convoluted twists and turn) is about "the boss" and her legacy that war is heck and how soldiers are manipulated to die in pointless conflicts for the interest of rich bankers.
Two former friends, Big Boss and major Zero, thought they could fix this in their own way. The former wanted a country of soldiers where men of war would fight for their own causes and rights, not for wall street. The latter created AIs that started the illuminati and later on started a permanent war so that war is peace.
In the end Solid Snake was the one to fulfill the boss' hopes by diamantling the illuminati's permanent war
Defintely, or at least be John Carpenter; solid snake is a copy of Snake Plisquin from escape from new york

Hard to take muh illuminati or whatever as actual political take, instead of crazy plotlines.
And I just like seeing dead snowBIPOCs.

Is this because leftoids are so boring and feeble IRL that they're trying to appropriate characters they think are cool?
It's like stolen valour when I think of the average leftist. Complain all day on the internet demanding free stuff for doing nothing. Maybe goes to a trans rights protest and wave a flag. Pat themselves on the back for doing great deeds. Thinks they're fricking Doom Guy.
They're living out little power fantasies in games and thinking "Yeah I'm leftist and I like this leftist game!"

Have you played any oh them past the first one? All of them since 2 are woke as shit. The new tales from the borderlands has a fat wheel chair
as a character. The beast talks about nothing other than how much s*x she has.

No they fricking aren't lmao I've played all of them for hundreds of hours a piece. The pre sequel literally has us controlling the awakenings of the genocidal fascist corporate dictator PLUS it makes you relate to.
Having shitty diversity jokes isn't woke,it's realistic. These are all basically award winning murderers, I don't expect them to be smart or cool. Also a woman making s*x jokes isn't woke you fricking crybaby
And again, they're still colonizers coming to foreign planets and destroying the native species with rocket launchers. Not very leftist of them. So shut the frick up about the only game series I play

I've also played them all. The pre sequel also has a lecture about how the friend zone isn't real and how it's a sexist concept and toxic masculinity, a lesbian who has you murder someone who won't stop hitting on her after telling her she's a lesbian, and one of the main characters ends up married to that same lesbian.
The "colonizers" in the game are the corporations who are 100% of the time the villains in the series. You kill and fight against the colonizers. Shitty diversity jokes is all leftoids do.
