Metal Gear isn't about politics. Any political events are just a backdrop to the plot being about weird dudes with super powers and giant robots.

Because Metal Gear is politics filtered through the mind of an autismo westaboo manchild who watched too many American actions movies.

The political themes of MGS are basic as fuck. It's really a game about old men and robots.

>>381514039
Politics are fine.
Virtue signalling is not.

I don't think politics should stay out of video games.

I think neo-feminists, faggots, and other types of retards should stay out of video games.

This

>>381514039
MGS is political in the liberal sense

As in, fuck white people & fuck drumpf

it's politics are about the cold war & shit, very different ballpark

>>381514185
>>381514225
Pretty much these, politics isn't the main focus of the series and one of the main points is that everything is pretty much controlled under one destructive force (the Patriots).
I think anybody on the political autism spectrum can appreciate it.

Why is the Cold War such a great vidya setting?
I honestly this it's the best backdrop for any political thriller.

Because metal gear is about a soldier's place in the world and whether or not freedom truly exists, not Jon Oliver-tier modern libshit

Metal... gear?

>>381514039
Metal Gear involves a lot of political events, but besides being mostly anti-war and anti-nuke, it doesn't really try to make any statements.

You are misconstruing our wishes on purpose to obsfucate the real issue.

We don't mind games being political, as it is the creators right do create what they want.

What we are against is gaming journalists and media colluding together to push an outside political ideology on a consumer base, and strong arming (blackmailing essentially) devs into conforming to the gamejournos world view, or not be allowed good reviews for arbitrary criteria. We are also against the gaming media using their station to demonize the consumer base for not going along with the warped ideology. You can't promote your friends shit game, then paint the consumers as evil via bigots for not buying the piece of shit. Also forcing devs to self censor is also evil.

Political messages in games will be sustained by the free market, not "progressive" blackmail.

>>381514732
They actually decided to call it the cold war because it was so cool.

>>381514039
politics in games are fine
forcing all games to conform to the same politics isn't

Snake Eater is the only Metal Gear game that doesn't go full retarded when it comes to politics.

If you watch the end of MGS 2 it's quite the opposite.

Metal Gear is fucking retarded

LIKE THE GOOD OL' DAYS AFTER 9/11

>>381514039
when people say politics they mean contemporary politics most of the political stances in MGS are safe stances like nukes and using wars to make a profit are bad not the US has too many nukes and need to disarm right now or George Bush and his cronies use the wars in the middles east to make money for their gun factory owner buddies.

>>381514039
The politics in MGS are more dubfued and not "in your face".

>>381514351
You're in no position to call anyone autistic if you think that's what MGS has been doing.

This is wrong on every level, Metal Gear Solid has never been about the fucking narrative or storytelling. It's all about the themes of loyalty to one's country, gene/meme theory, etc. The story of Metal Gear has never been good, the themes have always been exploratory and provocative.

Fuck off idiots.

>>381514934
Yeah Persona 5 was absolutely killed sales/rating wise because of its conservatism.

oh wait

>>381514039
Politics are fine as long as they're not current-year politics.

All >>/pol/ tards please go

>>381514039
There is a difference between a game presenting thought experiments and allowing the player room to interpret and form their own opinions and one that just takes one of Twitter's trending topics and shoves it down the player's throat.
