Metal Gear Rising really is the funniest one on this list. The game's main antagonist is Dick Cheney with nanomachines who verbatim says he wants to "Make America Great Again" a full two years before the Trump campaign starts. You kill an insane amount of cops. One of the bosses, who is shown to be nothing more than a psychopath who enjoys war, wants the world to go back to "the good old days after 9/11" when arms manufacturers could do anything they wanted. It portrays a world where war is nothing but a vehicle for profit, and the main characters realises he wants nothing to do with this, leaves his PMC outfit, and fights for himself against these evil corporations. It's not subtle, in the slightest. I have no idea how you can read this game as conservative.

Who wants to help me crowdfund a bribe to Trump's speechwriter to have him say the entire Senator Armstrong monolog at a rally?

Darktide

DoA Xtreme

Nobody ever actually played those

Fallout 3, CoD4, and MGRR

The bad guys are literally the US government lmao

Darktide, a game about killing militant antivaxxers.

B-b-b-b-but The Quatering told me that "Boner culture" is so important to defend!

Funny enough, my very gay older brother played them a lot. He was also just really into volleyball

These games are all either a handful of explicitly NOT conservative games, military shooters, a couple games that sexualize women, and then just "games I like".

Well... The main villain is black.

Something about using the power of God under direction of what's presumably a traditional monarchy to fight the forces of anarchy, also.

But mostly the main villain thing.

Can you really call this the "conservative essentials" without gems like Custer's Revenge and Hatred?

The basic rimworld colony is basically anarcho communist, what the hell.

Ah yes, Silent Hill 3, where you play as a woman and perform an abortion on a god, where all the religious people are depicted as murderous lunatics and the most powerful deity in the game is a disabled woman.

I would say a third of those games make sense.

Anything WW2, Shooters, and anything 40K related would be my assumptions. I would also throw in Madden. Top of the chud pile would be Call of Duty.

Oddly enough BioShock still has Ayn Rand fans despite the story. Naturally they can't understand that it is a deconstruction of Ayn Rand. They also say the only reason Rapture failed was because Ryan abandoned his ideals...

hypersus HE DID BECAUSE HE FUCKING HAD TO BECAUSE HE WAS LOSING UNDER HIS IDEALS. That is the entire point of that story. It's a self contradicting society.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

anything 40K related

Actually quite funny that they chose Space Marine because one of the universally hated characters in that is your rigidly doctrinaire squad member who refuses to deviate from the words of a 10,000 year old text even when they don't make sense in the current situation.

Rowling is too woke for the conservatives and too conservative for the woke. Everybody is disillusioned with Rowling for different reasons

but you kill Nazis in Sniper Elite and we've all seen that Republicans won't even denounce Nazis, let alone kill them.

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago

This here triggered them so hard but since the previous came out in 2014 it got a pass. What happened between the release of The New Order (2014) and The New Collosus (2016)..? 🤔

What sort of fucked up reading of Silent Hill 3 do you have to have to make it a conservative game?

Parasite Eve is the funniest one on there.

Mitochondria are definitely fascist.

Did they play Persona 4 and pick the wrong suspect at the end? That game is not sympathetic to their ideology lmao.

As you can see, Doom II isn't on the list because you can shoot Nazis in that game.
