Yeah but that's done masterfully

2019-09-13 19:13:51 UTC  

It fits the story very well

2019-09-13 19:14:14 UTC  

MGS was before its time

2019-09-13 19:14:16 UTC  

It's not done with bias to one side or another

2019-09-13 19:14:59 UTC  

MGS was inspired from Snake Pliskin anywyas

2019-09-13 19:15:00 UTC  

It’s explicitly anti-war

2019-09-13 19:15:01 UTC  

anyways*

2019-09-13 19:15:22 UTC  

It's not REPUBLICAN BAD. Anti nuclear war is pretty pragmatic

2019-09-13 19:15:24 UTC  

Escape from New York is what heavily inspired it

2019-09-13 19:15:51 UTC  

Also a bit of information age nightmare fuel too.

2019-09-13 19:16:03 UTC  

But it’s still political, and still a set of amazing games

2019-09-13 19:16:48 UTC  

Yeah but its not biased

2019-09-13 19:17:14 UTC  

Also leading your story with politics gives you a terrible narrative

2019-09-13 19:17:43 UTC  

Its why all the left wing politics in games is trash

2019-09-13 19:18:03 UTC  

It's the reason why quality has dropped massively

2019-09-13 19:19:27 UTC  

I feel like they just do politics badly for the most part, they’re blatant and just “WE MAKE BLACK CHARACTER WE INCLUSION” they don’t weave it in like mgs and other good political games do

2019-09-13 19:19:50 UTC  

Name a game that is based on our current politics thats good

2019-09-13 19:20:05 UTC  

I agree a thing advertised as a “right wing RPG” will be shit

2019-09-13 19:20:07 UTC  

Democracy 3?

2019-09-13 19:20:22 UTC  

I don’t play many modern games lol

2019-09-13 19:20:35 UTC  

I’d say cyberpunk but that’s not out yet

2019-09-13 19:20:43 UTC  

Cyberpunk is great though

2019-09-13 19:20:52 UTC  

Not really modern politics tbh

2019-09-13 19:20:52 UTC  

Because its set in its own world

2019-09-13 19:21:13 UTC  

Transhumanism, transgenderism

2019-09-13 19:21:23 UTC  

If politics fits the narrative its fine but it rarely ever does and sticks out like a sore thumn

2019-09-13 19:21:25 UTC  

All part of the cyberpunk genre...

2019-09-13 19:21:25 UTC  

thumb*

2019-09-13 19:21:37 UTC  

Yeah, and modern issues lmao

2019-09-13 19:21:41 UTC  

With it's own penalties and costs

2019-09-13 19:22:02 UTC  

Cyber psychosis anyone?

2019-09-13 19:22:34 UTC  

The writing of Doctor Who was similar to this, they just incorporated modern politics and feminism into the story and the quality just nose dived

2019-09-13 19:22:43 UTC  

Amusing to watch in person

2019-09-13 19:23:22 UTC  

Femsplaining jody whittaker!!

2019-09-13 19:23:45 UTC  

I agree politics is almost always handled badly in media, I just think saying “politics doesn’t belong in video games” retarded

2019-09-13 19:23:54 UTC  

In a very matronising voice<:thinking_clown:590855640268668928>

2019-09-13 19:23:55 UTC  

WHO'S BRIGHT FUCKING IDEA WAS IT TO GIVE SILVER KNIGHTS INFINITE FUCKING STAMINA?!?!

2019-09-13 19:24:08 UTC  

MAYBE tribalistic/partisan politics

Nope.
