What the hell am I reading again? I absolutely disagree.

Yes. Political change is more important, as we've seen on Yea Forums where more people are concerned with the left's degradation of society and corruption of children than they are about childish hobbies like movies, games or TV.

Only shills, liberals and people in denial will disagree.

We need more kids jerking off to trap and hentai porn to keep them pure.

I would agree that fun isn't important if there was a single solitary soul in the industry that was making games that made even a passable attempt at using the medium's defining element in a meaningful storytelling way, though not necessarily for the reasons they listed.

It's not that fun isn't the most important aspect anymore, it's that fun is missing and that's why games feel so soulless these days.

This.

Back to /pol/ with you, falseflagger

Can't be done. There are 3 ways to tell a story in a game:
1. Show, Don't Tell. You can only tell really simple stories using the medium properly, as people will tend to miss literally everything. I like this the best, but it's pretty limiting.
2. Don't Show, Tell. If you bog down the game down with exposition, it becomes MGS/CRPG with a bunch of boring shit that doesn't matter. This also really hinges on the quality of dialogue and the writer.
3. Show and Tell. Works good, but turns it into a movie game.

This but unironically. Videogames should be a platform for promoting political correctness even at the cost of fun.

Finally

Showing and telling has absolutely nothing to do with it whatsoever. The problem is the utter refusal to use interactivity to tell the story in anything but the most cursory way.

And thats a good thing.

>he says while people go nuclear over a few colours painted on a wall ingame
the bullshit you say has never been anything but a poor attempt at deflection from how you people actually react

There's also Show _then_ tell, which is basically the atmospheric story-telling of "Show, don't tell" bolstered by background lore the player can discover to fill in blanks.

Basically; this is what Metroid Prime did.
When done right it works, really, *really* well.

But you have to have a story and setting that can work with it. Sole survivor or solo explorer stories mesh well with this.

To be honest i find it ironic how the left are pushing the same morality as the right, only under a different banner.

You're not wrong, but our videogames and movies morally aren't the place to be doing that.

You don't like something in the game, then ignore it if you enjoy the game, or just comment on your dislike for it in a civil manner, and if it bugs you too much, just turn the damn game off and pull your support of the developer in the future.
I don't mind gay people, as long as they don't make me feel uncomfortable like making out in front of me, or hit on me. If they do that then I'd just nope out of there.
But then again, I don't like it when regular couple make out in front of me either. It just seems disrespectful and ignorant. The things that annoy me aren't exclusive to people of that demographic.

>the most important aspect of games is now propaganda
Kill me now

Gaming journos are an authoritarian cancer to the the community. Nowadays politics gets shoved down everybody's throats so much, escapism is a luxury. People who think everything should be political are miserable and boring.

I don't find new games fun and I've been playing the same MMOs and games in general for the last 8-10 years. there's too much political shit, one way or another. I literally want NOTHING to do with politics. I don't want it ever coming near a game I play because I play games to avoid the stupid fucking drama and politics getting shoved down my throat through every other form of media. Why is that so hard? Why can't people just make games without having to have some deeper message attached to it? Does no one value how relaxing a game can be when you have to focus on the task at hand? Everything's braindead worse-written books and movies.

Yes. I literally said that I'd just leave if they do something that makes me uncomfortable. They can do their own thing, I just don't want to be part of it.
I'll put up with it until I get my opportunity to leave and then I would leave.
And as I said I dont like it when straight people make out in public too. I mean do what you like in your own home, in your own time, I don't give a shit, but don't expect me to be comfortable if say, we're all stuck in a queue and you're making out to kill the time and I can't leave the queue till I get served.
I wouldn't do it. A quick peck maybe kf i felt the compulsion to show affection, thats fine, its the good kind of social restraint, but not like I've seen some people do it. Borderline strip and fuck on the spot stuff. Used to see people do this in public food halls and its like "fuck. I'm eating my lunch here. I don't want to watch this softcore porno unfold in front of me, but there's also nowhere else to eat. I'll just eat this lunch and not look up and hopefully I'll finish and leave soon or they'll leave and I won't feel so annoyed by it".
People overreact, but you also as the person doing it can't magically expect everyone to be comfortable and react positive to everything you do like a special snowflake.
Its why some of these indie devs fail. They expect people to give a shit about their agenda, as if they are the second coming of Jesus, and people are like " OK. The game is kind of meh. What you got next?". The game doesn't sell like they expected, and they just give up, and blame others for not being as "progressive" as them.

Politics aside, when I was a teenager I would've disagreed, but now that I'm approaching wizardhood I tend to agree with the sentiment. "It's just fun, brah" games get tiresome (and very few of them are actually fun). I now appreciate even the walking simulators and 2deep4u "artsy" pretentious bullshit.

Why play a video game if you arent playing it to have fun. That is the wholle POINT of video games. But leave it to idiots to claim that games dont NEED to be fun. Video games as a medium to spread awereness... I have a feeling this is something that you see MAINLY from people like failed indie developers who make self masturbatory "games" that is all about THEM and their sexuality and life choices. Or trying to make claims about how they are opressed. How many people would play those games? None. Because those games arent there for you to have fun. But to NOT have fun. That is no longer a video game. But a digital ideology tool. To indoctrinate someone.

Because "fun" is subjective and people don't give a shit about what you're "tired of".
Yes "fun" can technically be described, but people rather play the video game instead of wasting time describing it.
If you're not finding fun with a game, find one you find fun. I don't like shooting games, so I play fighting games/rpgs.

Because these sort of people have a stick up their ass.

One political statement out of the 3000+ official games played in Sports per year doesn't equate Sports as a political activity.

It can. The point is that not everything HAS to be fun.
There's room in the world for all games.

The only thing that's attacking them are their own minds. They need better help.

No part of armed rebellion is hilarious.

I think it also depends on how you play the game too. Don't think speedrunning and resetting your game for 10 hours a day is fun for me.

How would the internet react to a competently made liberal / minority / LGBT murder simulator? One that let's verbally abuse, maim and creatively murder them in wacky ways while they spout out left wing talking points?

I bet it would get banned and pulled off every platform around. Videos of it would be banned from reddit. Youtube would take down everything about it. Twitter would ban any tweets about it. It would be eradicated with the full force of the internet conglomerates.

It's like selling Monopoly trying to show the evils of large corporations having ownership of everything, it's presented as a game i.e. not to be taken seriously.
Those idiots are just failed filmmakers who can't have an original enough idea to get funded, so they turn to games because the barrier of entry is lower.

As would a game that was a alt-right / trumptard / conservative murder simulator that let you verbally abuse, maim, and creatively murder them in wacky ways while they spout out right wing talking points.

I don't think it would be banned if it was about conservatives. Right wing people would point at it and scream about hypocrisy, and the left would suddenly be against censorship.

I fucking hate marxists so god damn much.

>Fun is taking a back seat to social issues in video games. And that's a good thing.

>cohesive society

>Average IQ drops 20 points

My theory is that leftist social ideology is a makeshift religion, it is cult-like in that you are either in or out. It is violent to alternative beliefs because it considers its ideals morally superior. Its primary focus is in converting non-believers, forcefully and silencing any opposition. All of this is validated by a sense of self-righteousness and complete submission to their ideals.

These cultists invade every element of society to convert it into another avenue for their message and ideology. Their cause is all they have, so even when changes are made, they always need to push further. First it was legalize gay marriage, now it's let 6 year old kids take hormone pills to transition genders. First it was raise taxes to help the poor, now its turn our entire economy into a socialist system.

Gaming is the perfect target for the next generation of worshipers. It's a white male dominated hobby focused around violent male power fantasies, technological simulation and societal escapism. Inch by inch they will erode the medium, turning it into a multicultural digital form of interactive expression to espouse their ideology and to silence and ban any alternative views.

They've already made huge bounds. You can get banned from nearly all online games for banter, trolling, or even just winning in a mean spirited way. Sexualized women are being removed from games. Minority characters are being forced into games. People will complain that a European medieval history game doesn't have black people in it and economically punish the game devs with bad reviews for this ideological injustice. Using the media and their endless outrage to bully any opposing viewpoint. The player's goals / motivations are often based on leftist social ideology and the "bad guys" embody their political or social enemies (racist, misogynist, capitalist, rich, libertarian, etc.)

They're basically the fedora tippers of today. These weak people don't have a religion to latch onto since they got rid of the traditional ones so they make a new one, either out of huffing their own farts about pseudoscience or feeling morally righteous about social issues.

nice collection you stole

>Are sports political
No shit sport is political. Maybe not in burgerland where burgers only compete with each other. But international sport is political as fuck

this article is full of shit. video games have degraded since 90s considerably. back in the day we had games that openly talked about nuclear weapons threat, american imperialism, ecological threats and possible extinction of life on earth, negative effects of religion, indoctrination, mental illness, slavery... nowadays the smartest thing we have in this dumb as fuck medium according to critics and journos is a B movie zombie game with ugly angry lesbians.

How many upvotes do you think that picture got on r/gaming?

making fun games is hard, and asking people to do hard things is ableist
wheras you can make deep insightful commentary just by screeching "orange man bad"

>I can't enjoy most video games anymore because developers have more progressive social views

That's an unfortunate problem to have.

>All of the others were obnoxious and talking about their HRT breasts every day and about how communism will eventually win.
What is it with mental illnesses that make people support communism? Hmmm

I have empathy for humans.
Not all people qualify as "human" to me. And that includes tranny freaks. They are subhumans.

Hint: The window has a title

The attack on escapism is what gets to me. I don't want to deal with any of that bullshit. I play games to relieve myself of reality. Now these sjws want to remind me of "injoosteece n opreshuns" and how I'm evil for being born male and white, across every form of media. It's coming to the point where I'm just playing old games, watching older movies and TV shoes, reading old books, etc. because too much of the newer stuff is poisoned by this social awareness garbage.

Progressivism has been the official global state religion since the end of WWII, SJWs and their spiritual predecessor (the hippies) have been used as a blunt force hammer to both rip out the nails of society and enforce oppression since the mid-30s when FDR invited the literal namesake Troskyites to America to "fight Leninism". It's not like they ever left. Movies and music and television are used as their tendrils to push their religion on the masses (movies became "art" when they were fully corrupted BTW). Now video games are officially "art" which means they're officially mind-numbing propaganda pieces that only serve to enforce the state religion of Progressivism.

At least you can take solace in the fact that these people will one day inevitably be purged by their own security apparatus. All these bourgeoise leftists living in Manhattan apartments with six digit monthly rents while writing articles about how "video games need to be less fun" are as useless and annoying to their masters as they are to you and me. They're tools, objects, THINGS to their quasi-religious leaders. Literally useful idiots in the sense that you can throw a stick and one will run after it right into the enemy's minefield.

I guess they are now indoctrination software than fun things to do in your free time.

RIP games.

you cannot make social issues fun because it defeats the purpose of putting them in your game. It becomes a satire.

>childish hobbies like movies, games or TV
Where do you think you are, exactly?

giving retards who worship the writings of a child molestor dosen't make you grown up

When did the West become outright religious with its identity politics?

>Articles is fake
>Was stated as fake when first posted
>/pol/ kids still tear at the bait as if it were fresh meat
Acquire outrage
Target unnecessary
Truth irrelevant.
Only outrage is needed.

>he thinks civil war 2 will be anything like civil war 1
