>Opinion - Video Games Should Embrace MY Politics

>>378463845
Video games embraced politics years ago. What these fags mean is that video games should make the statements that they want them to right now, even though topical works tend to be shitty strawman arguments that age like milk.

>>378463845
Stories can be allegories for modern politics and shit, but devs and the fags writing the majority of this shit have no idea what the word subtle means. People are less likely to lash out and bitch at you if the message you're trying to send isn't you just preaching at a bunch of people that you're right and they're wrong. Of course, most of these social commentary loving devs are rejects that got into games because they couldn't hack it in other fields.

>>378463845

>>378463845
Western devs get funding from the U.N. and other political organizations to inject their agenda into their games.
This is why Japanese developers make good video games most of the time they're just games without that bullshit attached to it.

>everything must be politics
No, this mindset is spread by literal slaves with no capacity to think by themselves, so they want everything to be labelled with the name of their master to know what to consume and more importantly what to make illegal for being different.

Can't wait for mario to tell me the right political views for a country I'm not even a part of.

>>378463845
Yes they should. If you consider it a work of art, games should be able to embrace whatever idea/opinion they want, even if you disagree.

Probably written by some liberal

>>378464410
You're right and wrong. I'm aware of what most people mean when they say "politics" and believe it or not I actually hate it as much or more than they do. But unlike them I realize that burying your head in the sand and pretending they don't exist just makes the problem worse. If anything we need MORE discussion about politics in games so we can get past the juvenile crap that currently passes for """politics"""

>>378464308
8th post best post

>>378464410
They must be pretty talentless then, because the people actually writing movies are hacks.

There is definitely room for political ideas and issues to be explored in video games. However I'm not interested in such things and would choose to not engage in such games.

>>378463845
Sure, as long as I'm allowed to make something that doesn't agree with her viewpoint.

So in other words FUCK OFF

unless they are ingame politics that serve the story and worldbuilding rather than a sloppy commentary on real world politics, which is all that modern game writers are capable of, no thank you

l'd like to avoid being lectured by stupid leftist faggots while playing vidya if possible, l can already get that at school, on tv or in the newspaper

>>378464682
This. Video games can be a form of art, and plenty of art is political. But I'm not interested in that sort of art, I'd rather play something that's entertainment.

I'm fine with that.

So long as ALL politics are allowed.

Do you think musicians shouldn't have social commentary in their songs?

>>378464997
this. although the new deus ex games handled racial prejudice poorly since cyborgs aren't a race.

>>378463845
I think whatever he's saying means "they should embrace politics I agree with".

I don't inherently disagree with more political videogames but the way videogames tend to be political is usually very vapid and low brow. Like Bioshock infinite's attempt at political and social commentary.

>>378463845
Unless your game is Civilization or anything like it the answer is "No"

>>378464308
they dont really want games to be political.They want games to just mirror their own politics back at them.

>>378463845
By politics they mean confirmation byast. Its like your boomer neocon thinks that everything should be Fox News. Nobody wants this.

Escapism means you escape the bullshit in your life and imerse yourself. If everything had to take a stance on gay rights or immigration... people who don't fit the narrative will be alianated.

I agree with the person who mentioned subtle. Most people with right of center opinions can appreciate suntley. We just don't want things cramed inorganicly into games.

Attn: Rasheeds and Pajeets obsessed with the US, games don't focus on "American politics" as much as something called metapolitics. Politics are things like elections, parties (in the US case, its bland Republicans vs Democrats) politicians and platforms, something rarely brought up except parodies (like WD2 parodying Trump in one small section)

Metapolitics are things like immigration, refugee crisis, climate change, gender equality, surveillance. It effects almost everywhere. And yes, these writers want the metapolitical messages to be on their side, as in pro-refugee, open borders, feminist

Fair enough, at least you're consistent. I don't mind commentary in my games/music/whatever, as long as it's clever and well done, regardless of the viewpoint they're trying to push. Video games, to me, have more rushed commentary these days than other mediums, though there are notable games that pull it off well.

right back at you actually. Bidya is many things to may people, and its safe to say the majority has always played to escape the very themes you feel need to be drudged up. if "Burying your head in the sand" means i can attain several hours a day of peace from the shitshow that is other people, then by god, pass the fucking shovel.

however, vidya that touches on themes in a tasteful way while still feeling like a video game, and not a lecturre or sermon, ala mgs2, is actually welcome, as long as i'm not being told what to think by someone half my goddamn age

>>378466147
Isn't that just being consistent?

I'm sure the author totally wouldn't mind a game that had politics she disagreed with.

The only fucking Politics I will accept is the Politics in the lore of the videogame that Iam playing. Politically correct, of current events, shit need not apply to fantasy settings, not even a small fucking hint of it.

Gameinformer was always shitty but now they've reached full blown polygon.

If something is gonna contain politics I feel like both sides of whatever political statement they are making need to be given light, and proper light, not "my opinion is right and yours is wrong" shit.

Fastest waybto get me to drop all interest is to have some ham fisted political statement in your vidya that has no counter argument from the antagonist other than how evil and corrupt they are

politics
ˈpɒlJtJks/
noun
noun: politics

1.
the activities associated with the governance of a country or area, especially the debate between parties having power.


This has existed in video games, especially RPGs for decades.

>>378466284
"Status quo" is still a position, anon. Just because something conforms to your preconceived notions doesn't mean it isn't political and doesn't affect other people.

Even still, I have to admit that modern media and communication infrastructures seem to have somehow actually made people more ignorant and extremist. I see how a return to conservatism and "small" politics is an attractive and even logical choice, but the idealist in me doesn't like to admit that we're just going to forever be beholden to our primitive chimp brains.

>>378466941
That game already exists. it's called Modern Warfare.

I figure people can do whatever they want with the games they make, and if I don't like the politics they put into their games I don't play them. Its really that simple, but then again I'm also not a turbo autist.

Saying video games are apolitical is like saying anything at all is apolitical; profoundly dumb and ignorant. Every act is a political act.

This is really stupid.

Politics is automatically a part of your game depending on the setting- like Call of Duty and Mafia and all that.

Making a game that normally wouldn't be political reflect your personal politics instantly dates it- you only should do it if you REALLY have a particular story you want to tell for a reason.

Just throwing anything into a game "just because" hamstrings you from the start.

I was always under the impression that games are in their own setting. That they exist outside real world politics.

I agree. We need:

MORE games driven by a masculine presence where feminism is abolished symbolically and female characters know their place.

MORE white protagonists.

LESS "diversity", we already have Japan for non-white presences in games

LESS LGBTBBQ bullshit unless it's to have homosexuals/trannies be joke characters that die or are enemies to be mowed down

LESS women who are not attractive in games, if any at all

>>378465251
That didn't use to be the case. Back in the days the views expressed were "skewed-neutral", meaning that the playing was meant to explore any possibility of opinion, but the game might insist on the consequences of one view over the other. This was justified through well-crafted in-game mechanics which did not a priori map to the real world, though they were obviously meant to be. As such, you could be a racist asshole and that could result in helping form a strong, militaristic nation of industrious people where the bads were culled, while gravitating toward acceptance would result in allying half the world against an impeding threat. Both are acceptable outcomes to who believes in either choice, but the authors preferred the acceptance end, for example.
Now, you're not even allowed to disagree with the author's politics.

There are just way too many interesting stories that could be told that don't involve politics. We don't always need real life analogs and most of the time people use them, it's because they are lazy, not because they have anything new to say.

Start making interesting stories first, then you can lecture me on how immigration in the modern day is the same as it was hundreds of years ago and it's the white mans responsibility for everyone else.

Were you dropped on the head as a child? Or do you live under a rock? I don't need "sources" for something so controversial that literally everyone knows about it.

That is exactly what he did.

All media is political. The faggots complaining about muh politics in videogames are just sensitive pussies who can't handle something that has a message they disagree with.
>Killzone's whole allegory for Palestine/Israel
>Metal Gear Solid
>Deus Ex
>Grand Theft Auto
>A lot of Ubisoft's more recent titles (like how both Far Cry 4 and 5 tackle religious extremism)

The issue is when a game has no merit besides it's political message. Media needs to stand on it's own, a shitty song with a message I agree with is still a pretty shit song. You should have more selling points than the political message you wanna push.
Pic related is a perfect example of a game that has no merit besides "DUED POLITICS LMAO"

Sure
A video game should be whatever the game creators want them to be. If you don't want to play the creators game then don't.
From what I hear about Gone Home it's not a game I see myself wanting to play but I'm not mad that the game was made. I have plenty of other games that were made for me.
Not every video game needs to be made for every type of video game player.

>>378469067
The main problem is that there isn't anything of substance for most games trying to shove a political message. MGS makes good arguments for almost all sides and expects you to make your own opinions on what is right and wrong. Other games though don't care for the other side and don't even treat them as human and that's the problem.

God, even Skyrim has done the whole political bullshit better. In that while it's obvious that Ulfric is just using the people to get into power, his message isn't really wrong. It's ok to fight for your country and values and many in his army fight for that, but aren't racist.

It's this black and white, you are either with me or against me bullshit that is killing political intrigue in games. Politics should be the thinking mans issue, it's too complicated for name calling bullshit.

>>378469654
Operator suggested that Zimmerman didn't follow for his own safety because Trayvon could've been armed and dangerous himself.

Trayvon left the scene. He was clear of Zimmerman. He decided to return to fight Zimmerman because he was a nigger chimp with a chip on his shoulder.

Zimmerman isn't an angel. I don't care about him, but as far as the case is concerned, he was in the right.

I totally agree on how most games do a pretty shitty job of handling politics, but I just see that as an issue with the gaming medium right now as there still aren't many standards for storytelling. Shallow politics are just a symptom of the problem of an industry that has Hollywood rejects write their shit. Not many people writing for games are actually good, and even among the good writers there's even less who actually get storytelling in games. Lots of liberal arts college types, lots of people who grew up playing DnD and mastered worldbuilding but not plot development, etcetera.

I knew before i even clicked on this thread that there would be /pol/ shitposting

>>378470424
That image is horseshit though. There's that one muslim woman scientist hologram record with many other scientist who are plain old white people. There is no "Muslim women who are concerned with good while the evil white people ruin every thing" storyline. Not to mention the primary antagonists are a Hispanic guy and a black guy.

God damn I hate when pol lies about shit like that. There are very real concerns to be addresses about false liberal anti-white narratives and when you faggots make up shit like this it discredits everyone who attempts to speak put against the left.

/v/, if you want to discuss politics in video games, you know what, that's fucking fine. If you want to discuss Bioshock Infinite's treatment of racism and nationalism, great. If you want to talk about Spec Ops: The Line's commentary on American interventionism, fantastic.

But fucking hell, checking whether there's niggers and fags and using that as an excuse to rant about how much you hate niggers and fags is not discussing politics in video games. In fact I don't think it's discussing either politics or video games.

I can only recall Japan struggling with game development during 7th gen. Otherwise they have been going great lately. You are missing out.

Politics are fine but it shouldn't completely mirror real life. ie. making elves/demons the niggers of your game. Both sides should be seen equally, which means not forcing your ideology on to the players and showing the proper motives

Japan has been doing it for a long time already. Nothing new. The west is just awful at it and tries to force their way of thinking on you.

They already do, but try 90%. There's a reason they keep making record lows.

No, you see, when a /pol/tard does it, it's a lone wolf who's taking things too far, but when antifa does it, or a Muslim does it, it's only the end result of their inherently violent ideology. Islam is just inherently violent in a way that fascism isn't.

That's because in videogames politics means: "break that fence! xDD get it??? because wall",
"make x y again!!!!!!! :DPPP","our old president looked like an orange,racist and almost exterminated x in-game race",and other american bullshit politics.
It's mostly infantile messages and references about real life issues.
I have absolutely no problem with politics as long as it involves in-game politics until they can provide better implementations.

How about posting the actual studies you obscene faggot.

There's been studies that show that there is a link to """"violent behavior"""" and there's studies that says there's no link at all. The jury is still out and Jack Thompson hasn't been vindicated.

That said he wasn't a bad guy. He just thinks kids shouldn't play violent video games.

>>378471108
Yeah, because he was being followed by a honkey with a gun

When the discussion revolves around criticizing a fictitious world, where the person making an argument gets to paint this world anyway they see fit; it isn't a discussion. Its propaganda.

>>378471531
No way, fag. I always try a couple of the most praised games per gen (using factors outside the norm to control against mass appeal and non-game parameters like muh waifu garbage) and there's been nothing worth playing for a long ass time.

Yeah, pretty sure we already dug up how that "white supremacist ranting about muslims" was in fact a Berniebro liberal communist judging by his twitter and facebook activity, but the MSM had to manufacture a fake news narrative to try to gain sympathy for muslims not a day after one of the followers of the pedophile warlord's sandreligion blew himself up and killed a bunch of little girls (some of whom haven't been seen since taking "free taxi rides" either)

>>378471580
I'm not trying to fit in. The thing about being an oldfag is that you don't have to prove yourself to newfags. You just are what you are.

>>378463845
How oblivious do you have to be to not see that many games already embrace politics?
Oh right, the author wouldn't know because she probably doesn't even play video games.

>>378471876
explain the white supremacist that murdered the elderly black guy in NY last month, or the trump supporter that murdered two indian men in kansas back in february

>>378471791
Man, you're baits just getting worse and worse.

>>378471684
Yes, because someone saying allahu ackbah and terrorist organization taking credit, moreover contact between known terrorist and that person relating to the plan, means it wasn't terrorism at all you bigot!!! Also having a history of mental illness means the person is perfectly sane and was totally screaming ave maria off the top of their lungs.

Name one thing you think isn't political, and I'll show you how it very much is.

Remember. Western devs are the champions of inclusiveness.

>>378463845
Eh... maybe sort of not really depends on the genre. I think it is probably okay for video games to sort of mirror current events but you shouldn't be guiding the player's thinking. Forcing a political message into a game is the wrong way to go about it. Everyone is different and each player should be allowed to draw their own conclusions about events.

>Opinion - Video Games Should Embrace Politics
What they actually mean
>Opinion - Video Games Should Embrace Only The Political Views Of The Democratic Left Of The United States And If You Try And Show Our Opposing Views In Any Positive Light Whatsoever We Will Get You Fired And Burn Your Studio Down And Cause A Massive Shitstorm Even Though We Don't Even Play Video Games In The First Place

>>378471876
Everything you said is completely wrong. You stupid motherfucker.

>>378472130
or how about the white supremacist that shot up a mosque full of praying muslims in qubec, or the racist alt-right kid who murdered a black marine?

>>378463845

Whoever wrote that is a moron. That's just a terrible idea from the commercial perspective since it, unnecessarily, limits the game's target audience.

Plain simply it will make studios lose money because people don't pay 60 bucks for a game just so that the game will enlighten them as how much of a bigots they are or to participate in a political debate with fixed outcomes (because you can always tell this days which options are designed to make your character look progressive or an asshole... and that's when the game doesn't directly tell you "this is the asshole option. the gay members of your party will be triggered").

Seriously, that's what social media is for... games are for escaping reality (okay, farm simulator 17 is not) or to think about something else.

Nobody cares about an author/ artist political message. It can be there on the subtext if the artist is cleaver enough but it can't become the explicit text.

No, this is dumb. Refusing to take a stance prevents a game from doing anything meaningful. Have some balls, for fuck's sake. What is it with the American obsession with showing "both sides" to everything? You need creationism to be shown as a viable alternative to evolution too. Well guess what, if science were a video game, it would definitely take a stance.

you're thinking too hard mate. We aren't against political viewpoints in vidya just when they are shoehorned contemporary politics. i:e Making white nationalists the villain or making the bad guy a ruler named Ronald Rump.

When the term "Alternate facts" came up in a FFXV DLC it screamed "localization choice" AND GUESS WHAT? It was!
