For years and years the debate has raged over whether video games qualify as art, and as ridiculous as that debate is there's one undeniable aspect of it: video games have ideological content.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TycfDgg4acY

For that reason this thread should be used to approach games from a political standpoint with their political content in mind. The only thing to keep in mind here is that YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT GAMERGATE.

Here's a big list of video games with left wing content to help discussion get going:

>Video games are designed to sell as many copies as possible and to be as addictive as possible
the exact same applies to music and television as well. doesnt make those any less "art".
many of the most popular video games are shit art, made for shit reasons, but again the exact same applies to music and television. youre either a massive pseud or havent engaged with the art form outside of fifa or cod.
go ahead and tell me with a straight face that something like pathologic is not a work of art.

What's the explanation for game developers that make communist-themed games to be pro-Ukrainian?

Comrades, it's that time again: Lenin is young and October lies ahead!
Time for a Crisis in the Kremlin game thread like in the good old days. We'll be playing on 'Realism' difficulty and starting at the earliest bookmark, 1985!

And so comrades, take your seats as members of the Central Committee of the CPSU, take up flags, or namefag if you like, for some degree of recognisability when tallying votes and take up the burden of the collective leadership as it is time for you to elect our new General Secretary following the unfortunate passing of Comrade Chernenko.

Your candidates are as follows:
-The young protege of Andropov and stalwart, Comrade Grigory Romanov
-The young up and coming reformist, Comrade Gorbachev
-The trusted Brezhnevite centrist, Comrade Grishin
-The party grandee and diplomatic excellency, Comrade Gromyko
-or perhaps the a previously unknown black horse from the party rank will secure the Central Committee's confidence?

Comrades of the Central Committee, the future of the Party, the Union, the Socialist Camp and the Human Race itself is in your hands!

Well that was a let down. Very easy game, If I had known about needing to pay for Serge's kids education to avoid getting assassinated I would've won in my first playthrough as a commime. Pretty easy to say the last and the story is meh, which is a bit lame for a pick-your-own-adventure game.

Why are Westards like this? Co-opting revolutionary aesthetics, anti-Soviet US plumbers as protagonists. The fuck is that? How is this not simply hypocrisy and a projection like Red Dawn where 'a larger country invades small town', considering US's track record of foreign intervention/meddling.

Razortits was right even though I hate that faggot: Kojima needs actual editors and people to tell him no for anything to be good. Sony giving him the carte blanche on every creative decision was naive and stupid.
The game is basically every shitty part of a Kojima game rolled into one boring package that was received like a wet fart days after release.

It's amazing how a simple texture replacement made Spider-Man for the PS1 the best version of that game ever. This is so perfect. Especially the eyes and teeth of the symbiotes and lizards and small details like the Lizard's pants not looking nerdy af. This is how the textures should have been, don't know how Neversoft fucked them up. And I also have no idea how Treyarch fucked up the proportions of the models instead, Venom, the symbiote spawns and Monster Ock look horrendous on Dreamcast.

All right, fine… It's been 18 years, and I'll finally admit it! As much as I loath this insulting trash game for daring to call itself Mario Bros. (and the trend of dumbed down trash games that followed in its wake), Koji Kondo at least managed to belt out another irresistible banger for the main stage theme.

It's a testament to a composer's skill that I find myself getting this theme stuck in my head all the time, imagining that it's some nostalgic theme from a much earlier Mario game. But no, in fact it had the great misfortune to be attached to this turd. Well done, Kondo-san.

Another game that can be considered bad which has music arranged by Tim Follin is Pictionary. It's not Silver Surfer-level terrible. It's just… lame. The music is cooler than the actual game itself.

I just can't feel anything for Berdly yet like some people do. Characters like Scout TF2 are interesting to me because they turned their little brother syndrome into a skill and some sense of kindness in life(no matter how selective and warped), meanwhile Berdly's just kind of stagnated. He's 15-16, so I'm certain the rest of the story will have him finding that thing, and if he does I'll enjoy watching.

I didn't watch the entire videos but it seems to be numerous things such as:
- The console costs too much
- a single game costing 80 bucks, and more.

The first video mentions how a WiiU game costed $60, then costed $20 on Nintendo Select, then a Switch port costed $60 again.

Other things:
- They made it complicated to share games between accounts (14 day limit unless you return it earlier, and a three game total limit)
- When you buy a game, you only get a license key, you still have to download the entire thing (which means that you can't share physicals anymore since it's just a license key that's presumably already used) (video quote: "Nothing is yours anymore")

The videos have more but I'm lazy

I just played Mario Kart (on someone else's Switch). After a lot of top 5 placings and even 1st place, I ended up in the bottom 5, with placings like 10th and 12th.

This change was because I found out I had Smart Steering and Auto-acceleration settings turned on and I turned them off. After turning them off I kept speeding into walls and falling off ledges. I also couldn't do the drift-speed-up properly.

All my previous wins were actually because of automated settings. Darn.
