and what happened to older games that were just about the gameplay? Now all games have moralizing in them

Thanks, Ted

Both of these are technically correct.
In either case you turn out to be failures and learned nothing from video games.
And that's normal, because video games are toys developed to be dangling car keys in front of toddlers.
You shouldn't learn important life lessons from video games, you should just have fun with them.
You should learn life lessons from your own experiences in life, and the advice of figures that you look up to, or your parents.
If you don't have any leading figure in your life, and your parents suck, then go out there and seek some, or lead yourself by example but remaining humble and aware of other points of views and strive to improve yourself and rework part of you that become defective over time.
Ian Moore
All of those games do have morals and that's "Improve your skills."

What kind of idiot do you have to be to get either of those messages from Half-Life or Doom? That Half-Life one is just entirely off base, I don't understand where it came from. The Doom one I could see how maybe someone could come to that conclusion, but its an awful surface level reading of things at best. In the original game the hell portal thing was a freak accident that nobody could have seen coming, in D44M the whole situation was rampant cultism not problems corporate or capitalist in nature. Never played Hotline Miami so no clue if that is accurate or not.
Anthony Bailey
That clip makes me made. The physics engine actually forced him out when he had it.
Camden Young
Planescape Torment
Josiah Powell
Is there a game that warns against letting self righteous moral authoritarians gain control of a creative intensity?
Jose Rogers
There's a game based on Demolition Man for 16 bit systems.
Lucas Russell
Postal 2?
Easton Price
Really any game with a moral system if you look at it in a meta way.
>What's that? You didn't rescue at least half the mudokons??? Enjoy your slasher movie ending fuckface!
Sebastian White
Mario Odyssey does? Damn dude how?
Blake Howard
How the hell did you get “Freedom is not free but it should be” from fucking Half Life?
Brayden Cruz
>creative intensity
Did you mean industry?
Blake Edwards
If a giant dragon tells you to go home and be happy instead of murdering him, go the fuck home and be happy.
Oliver Diaz
yeah i thought that rant that mario went on about racism was kind of out of place is odyssey. just games these days, you know? i wish we could go back to the days of non-political games like deus ex and metal gear
Kevin Rodriguez
Ultima V is exactly that
Sebastian Perez
This is the reality of the situation desu. Tribalists and ideologues having a dick measuring contest on the faces of people and things that dont really give a shit.
I'm all for people exploring ideas and expressing their beliefs and attitudes in a creative way to get their points across, a lot of good media does that, but when you start believing only your opinion is correct, and when you start getting lazy with the creative component but double down on the political drivel, then it becomes an issue. Then what naturally follows is wishing for the censorship of others that disagree with you.

>he originalndoom it was something nobody saw coming
Doomguy was being punished forbidden not obeying orders to kill innocent civilians, there was clear morality in the original doom.
Xavier Evans
I also hated how Yoshi started to talk about seizing the means of production in the latest yoshi game, what were they thinking
Michael Peterson
>civilization was a mistake
Jayden Scott
I thought Yoshi was commiting tax fruad. Why is he now supporting higher taxes?
Adam Rodriguez
What? Where does that come from? All I recall from the original Doom's setup was that Doomguy was the one who stayed behind with the shuttle, and ventured out into the facility after he heard all the other marines get slaughtered over the radio.
Jaxon Perez
The doom one is correct, though.
Austin Martinez
Not as bad as Mario calling Wario a fat kike in the last Mario Party, like what the fuck Nintendo.
Lucas Thompson
so should books or movies not have any point or underlying philosophy?
Zachary Brooks
I love how all these strawman images use old games because new games that push political shit are instantly forgotten. It's even better that they have to stretch to get a political message out of nothing.
Justin Wright
He taught me so much
come back to me baseball man :(
Lucas Lopez
After getting caught he started to get all revolutionary. I think he's trying to hide his crime by changing his image.
What a scumbag
Logan Thomas
After Reggie left and Raimi took his position everything changed
Caleb Wilson
What game?
Gavin Moore
People actually defend Nintendo when they make shit like this freely.
Jose Baker
Isaiah Bennett
cancer sucks idk lol
Adrian Scott
Forgive me for thinking these issues are a little too complex for a videogame to effectively comment on and add something to the discussion. Also forgive me for not seeing the correlation between meaningful discussion of ethics and ideas vs. meaningless identity politics perpetuated by twitter goblins.
Jack Myers
Taxation for thee but not for me
Justin Morris
OFF
Landon Gray
kek
Justin King
is this nigga serious
are you actually trying to start console war bullshit over a bug in a 17 year old game
the game is older than you are
Tyler Bailey
>All little girls secretly desire rape
I think kikiyama was a little heavy-handed with that one
Christian Rivera
>real issues based on policy vs faggot gender politics
suck my nuts faggot
Christopher Adams
>Okay Wario I've had enough of your fucking jewish subversion trying to 1-up all of western civilization. There's is nothing wrong with being white and my culture, white culture is the strongest in the whole damn world. Say your fucking void prayers to your false god, this is the end of you and your whole race. WAHOOOOO
Jesus christ, Raimi.
Sebastian Gonzalez
t. discord tranny
William Ortiz
Agreed, all of the politics in breathe of the wild really ruined the game for me.
Noah Bell
>my white culture
>italian
Logan Hernandez
There's a stern difference between something like the moral lessons in Half Life vs modern games that flat out tell you what to think
Clever writing can make you look at something you completely disagree with and say
>I disagree on every front but I can't fault your logic
Games nowadays don't want to do that since anything that might put a controversial topic in anything that resembles a positive light will be hammered as harmful by the gaming press.
What's worse is some game will even set up a scenario that would never happen and point at it as a reason as to why we need XY or Z
Logan Evans
I cannot fathom how terrible Arin was at this level
Dylan Wright
There is a difference between political undertones and overtones.
Colton Perry
>descendants of rome
>not white
Joshua Gomez
arin is shit at all vidya
Wyatt Ramirez
I don't mind woke ideology. It's just that said wokeness always "happens" to be surface-level leftist identity politics. Here are a few woke ideas that don't involve trannies.
>climate change inevitability and the sixth extinction event
>de-growth economics
>determinism and the lack of free will
>DMT hyper-intelligence
>art is just an imitation of the natural divine
C'mon devs, get it together
Mason Perry
>leftist memes
Gavin Wright
There's nothing wrong with the physics. Instead of hovering into the hole, he landed on the edge and when he tried to walk in he moved too quickly and the momentum made him slide off.
Also I agree, fuck politics in games. I don't care what side you're on, just fuck off with your narrative-based garbage and 2deep4u commentary you're trying to instill.
Aaron Wright
>gaming press
Only western devs care about that, though.
Jonathan Hill
how many of these games are just counted as political because there's a black person in it
how many games deal with gender dysphoria, like what fucking games are you people playing
Brandon Bell
>they didnt even censor the dick in the new soulless one
wtf kikiyama
