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

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.

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”.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

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

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

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.

I'm trying to think of a single fascist talking point about their enemies that isn't projection and coming up blank.

[–] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They're so focused on excluding whatever nonsense they got brain-poisoned into thinking is bad that they forget they're supposed to be including a game that anyone would actually want to play

i also find amusing how the woke games they claim are made by leftists are usually made by libs. not that they can tell the difference but still.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago

And when a game is actually made by leftists, like Disco Elysium, they can't even tell if it is pro-communist or not, because they've literally never interacted with communism as a concept, only as "scary bad thing."

So, uh... anyone else call dibs on piloting the pride mech?

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

get in the DEI eva, Shinji

I mean 99% of mecha media is gay in some fashion, so maybe they're cooking with that one?

oh that Ryan Gosling-looking dude on the far right is definitely AI generated. love how the laser gun's (that's trying to be an AR platform) under-slung grenade launcher also shoots lasers too!

i thought chuds were supposed to be gun experts

”Almost done, just the finishing touch left”

do note that yandere simulator (lmao) started off as a game "free of sjw expectations" (lmfao)

(I had a hyperfixation on it when i was like TEN btw, i am FUCKED stress)

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

That doesn't even make sense other than meaning "we're including underage shit". Fortunately it never got developed enough to even consider what it would include outside of the murderey mechanics you'd expect from a game about a person having a psychotic mental breakdown and murdering all their classmates.

Like, ""SJWs"" never particularly had an issue with murder in games it's women, minorities and pedophilia that's the main issue of culture in games.
