Putting 'politics' before gameplay.

Bland, caricature characters that exist solely to represent a certain group of people or the creator's self-insert.

Uninspired, derivative 'slop' gameplay that's been done better in a thousand other games.

Ugly art style with unappealing characters (unless it's AI generated, but still even then sometimes).

Dreadful, uninteresting, writing. Cringey, preachy dialogue. Painfully unfunny jokes.

And, of course, they always flop HARD and/or aren't remembered and/or talked about post launch

Chuds can't create. Only co-opt, plagiarise, and destroy.

It's not like making a video game with reactionary politics is hard or unique either. CoD did it every year for over a decade. It's just that this particular brand of chud gets really angry about their perceived enemies and that prevents them from having their politics just be a natural part of the game and turns it into an over the top screed.

the ancient chapo bit about chuds being bad at comedy because they get too mad at the premise of their own joke, and it distracts them from delivering a punchline

For real they could have at least made them Muslims

That has to be a reference to Assassin's Creed Valhalla, but I can't remember if chuds had a problem with it. Maybe the old stand-by, ”historical accuracy”.

Aside from the games sucking shit because chuds can't art, I bet that they run into a lot of friction from idiosyncratic things like "vikings are bad/good actually" that chuds can't actually agree on

It's like...it's like they understand the concept of a metaphor, but have never seen one before, and don't actually understand how they are supposed to work.

That sounds like a fun game. I'm picturing it as a Golden Axe style sidecrolling beat em up

You can just hear them seething as they wrote this lmao

Least historically delusional chud.

Might as well whine that the devil just wanted to sin in peace until that uppity “God” and his “morals” ruined all that.
