Remember when video games were about video games? Remember before they were coopted by people trying to make a sociopolitical statement?

Why couldn't they just leave well enough alone?
>>
>>383345473
People who look to push an agenda need a medium that is easy to get into, very public, and has wide appeal. The explosion of the video game industry checked that last box for them, and since they don't have the talent to make it in film or music or traditional art they infest our vidya instead.

he's right though, videogames were never political aside from 'winners don't use drugs' for the past several decades until now. Professors decided games were going to teach a lesson except they forgot is still has to be a game in order to keep people playing. Games today are just walking simulators with weird chastising statements thrown in.

Everything can be traced back to 'video games should totally be considered art" fags. Senless violence, toilet humor, eye candy, all of it is considered immature and is a big reason why people can't consider video games as art. So these faggots came out and took all the fun out of video games just so that some old art critic faggots can look at video games and say, yeah okay I guess it's art. Think about it, the people pushing for inclusiveness in video games are usually the same crowd that eats up cinematic artsy games like The Last of Us and SOTC. The same crowd that talks about how there should be a 'skip the gameplay' button and complains about video games being too hard and ableist. It was the artfags who started all this shit.

Shouldn't the deciding factor of a games artistic merit be how it plays? Something like classic Sonic's physics, or Mario 64's control would be what I would consider works of art. I like an engaging story in my vidya but only if it enhances the game. Shit like TLOU is a movie first, game second. Doesn't help that it's story is mediocre.

Games can do something no other medium can. Yet, Western devs focus on trying to tell stories. Gameplay can tell stories too, but not according to them.

Hey /v/, can you recommend me a good anime comedy (since /a/ doesn't allow recommendation threads)?

I want to see what you guys would recommend based on the small collection of anime I've actually seen.

So far I've watched and enjoyed:
When They Cry: Higurashi: That Time At Which The Cicadas Called
Sweets Story
The City In Which It Is Only I Who Does Not Exist
FakeLove
A Corpse Rests ~Under the feet of the Cherry Blossom Child~
Is The Order A Rabbit?
There's No Way My Little Sister Could Be This Cute!

Out of all of these, When They Cry was by far my favorite, Any ideas on what I should watch next? Anything similar to stuff on this list?
>>
>>383345473
I remember. Shit was the most racist shit ever existed. (Because, you know. Most of it was made by Japan.)

Honestly just ignore all the political garbage people are obsessed with and play some video games. People try and force everything as political, which you can do, but what matters is if the intent to make it such was behind the creator's motivation. I trust you to have the discretion to know when that is in a game and when it isn't if you're a logical adult, and to play the games that make you happy rather than ones trying to shove shit in your face.
Good luck anon.

I wasn't meaning easier to get into as a producer. I was thinking more along the lines of video game journalism and ecelebs and other nobodies who somehow gain a voice in the industry.

As far as the bit about the other mediums, there are plenty of indie games with awful art, music and writing. Perhaps I used a little hyperbole but those cases of failed tv writers or trashy novel authors getting hired by AA or AAA devs were on my mind. Or people like hamburger hepler who made it into the industry somehow even if for only a brief while.

Actually no. I remember when games were always making political statements. Remember Dare to Dream? A weird adventure game, EGA/VGA graphics. Anti Drug was the entire point of that game. Made by Cliff Bleszinski. Guess what kind of shit he's advocating for these days? Yeah, these people have always been here, they just weren't as loud as they are now.

They will go crawling back in their hole when their games don't sell and they are forced to actually make something of substance. This cycle is as old as the industry itself. It's what happens when your designers and programmers are shut ins.

Bullshit, it just takes more people. 99.99% of artists coming out of uni these days are full blown progressives. They are the best ones producing all this ugly retarded art and stories while nobody else involved can criticise them for fear of being ostracised

Desert Punk, watch the english dub unless you're not a pleb then watch the original unsubbed version, if you watch it subbed there are a lot of jokes that are dependent upon japanese use of puns and culture so you'll miss a lot unless you know the language.

No, I don't remember your generic indie game that no one ever played. How long did it take to find that on google, you desperate retard?

I'm not really an anime fan, but I watched Gintama and I don't know if it's full comedy or not. But this shit is hilarious as fuck.

>most racist shit ever existed

Race was a complete nonproblem in gaming until cucks arbitraly decided games have problem with racism and representation despite the fact games had varied characters and nobody gave a fuck about random nigger or arab characters, if the devs felt like it then they added them, if not they didn't.

Also consider the fact most of the devs back then haven't even got a chance to see a negro in real life outside of travel TV channels. Take a Witcher debacle for example - you'll be more likely to see a Vietnamese or Chinese person in Poland than a black guy. It's hard to make them get a checklist of important minorities that need to be available in every single game.

videogames were ruined long before agenda pushing when they were coopted by failed movie directors trying to turn them into movies, which caused the whole push for photorealistic graphics that makes everything play and run like shit nowadays, if communists want modern games they can have them because they are fucking awful
