I won't tolerate historical revisionism of the Feminist view of Bayonetta. Not when the 10-year anniversary of G*merGate (We will remember them) has just passed.
Here is Anita Sarkeesian's original 2012 video on why Bayonetta is sexist (because she is attractive despite being confident, strong, assertive and designed by a woman).
Let's not pretend that gaming media didn't go to bat for Anita and insecure feminists (most of which I would guess are now titty streamers and/or on OF) to validate the view that Bayonetta was a supremely sexist and misogynist game rather than just campy game with a sexually confident female protagonist.
Complaints about Bayonetta were literally
because men might find the character attractive and powerful.

I dont doubt that kojima leans left tbh but Metal Gear Solid is just riffing on postmodern philosophy and political theories which was just lefties dumping Marx for reactionary thinkers like McLuhan and Nietzsche while cribbing from the right wing anti enlightenment and anti modernist movements. It definitely isnt woke which is basically the intersection of neoliberalism and the new left. !chuds

Kojima himself is a dipshit lol. Its like pure alchemy that like mgs2 has some interesting themes. MGS1 is a bog standard tom clancy type beat. MGS3 is just bondshit. MGS4 is fan service bait. MGSV has any interesting ideas it has ruined by a dumb twist and horrid padding. Death Stranding story is nonsense slop. I think Kojima always designs good games the metal gear series and death stranding are the kinda games where every playthrough I find some minor new game mechanic.Its a very neat maximalist style when modern games focus on just shoving in the same few mechanics over and over again to fit a quota (crafting, stealth, parries, skill tree, gear, rarity, rpg stats and leveling, climbing ect)

Kojima always needed somebody to restrain him from words words words too much. I do like the gameplay stuff he does to his games, but never really got sold on the philosophy behind it.
The BigBoss wanking and Miller's "muh peace constitution" really grated on me in Peace Walker.
Sorry
@BWC, but Kojima leans left, at least if you consider the political spectrum in Japan.

The whole fricking point of MGS is that you had all these various people pushing to instill their version of the boss's will on the world and that led to turmoil and chaos. When really the right thing to do was to leave it the way it was and work toward a better future. Hmm almost as if that's the point that's reinforced in Death Stranding
but that's asking too much that people actually understand the games they play apparently.

Metal Gear is 100% correct. (No DSP Marsey yet)
I played it recently and I was LOL-ing
at the unsubtle speeches over how nuclear waste can't be disposed of 
and how the US government was developing this terrifying new weapon that was probably comparable to Trident 
Jump in the discussion.

The whole message of MGS1 is to forge your own path. Meryl, Otacon and Grey Fox all railroaded themselves into the only path they thought they had and hated themselves for it, Naomi's speech of not letting yourself be ruled by your genes feels antithetical to idpol wokeshit, though you could probably twist that to mean
stuff, but it's a bit of a stretch. It's obviously heavily political but not woke in the sense that it's usually used.
Then again it is a little homoerotic to ride a snowmobile with your bro (that's why I let Meryl die)

Not what I said, but the notion that you shouldn't be ruled by your genes seems less compatible with ideas like white/male privilege or progressive stacks than the outright rejection of genetic determinism altogether.

If by woke you mean "politically left-wing" then yeah it's woke. If by woke you mean "corporately sanitized" then, yeah, not woke. But neither is something like Disco Elysium, which many would say is one of the most "woke" games of all time.
There's also games like Hades which are extremely sexualized but filled with alphabet squad and polyamory and shit. Is this "woke" though?
I think "corporate-feeling forced diversity" is how I usually think of "woke," and obviously this is usually a detriment to media. I'd say Baldur's Gate 3 or Valorant or other modern successful AAA games would be the example of good versions of these games.

Baulder's Gate 3 is the most obvious answer. They shoved tons of gay relationships in that game and being friendly with all companions means you have to be careful to dodge the s*x scenes if you don't want them.

It's so weird how in the last couple years playersexual romances went from being considered a garbage decision that sacrificed potential storytelling and character development to give weirdo coomers wank material with anyone asking for them being called a creepy porn addled weirdo that needed to learn not everyone wants to frick them(i.e. people who wanted to romance Judy in Cyberpunk or Dorian and Sera in DA:I) to being the progressive equivalent of a pride flag on the cover.

I wish they'd stop including romance in game entirely tbh lol. Although even before the approaching era of being one sus dialogue choice away from gay s*x I never did any romances naturally. I always had to follow a guide or go out of my way to do them lol.

There's a ton of good "woke" games. Vast majority of the industry leans left, so just by the numbers it's inevitable.
There are good games that are pretty explicitly left-wing politically: Bioshock, MGS, Fallout, This War of Mine, Papers Please, Disco Elysium, Cruelty Squad.
There are also good games that are just filled with "corporate diversity"-style casts: Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War (multiple games), Apex Legends, Valorant, League of Legends (I know people hate Riot slop but they're extremely successful), Baldur's Gate 3, Hades, Spiritfarer, Cassette Beasts, (too many indie games to count)
