Battlefield General - Discuss the series here

The latter.

The first group will lose interest really quickly, especially since they're comprised of people who for the most part don't play video games or at least not to the same extent as hardcore gamers. They'll either praise the game for a couple of weeks if it turns out to be fun or if it turns out like Far Cry 5 it will be skipped altogether the second it turns out to not be as left leaning as first trailers suggested.

(I was actually a little dissapointed Far Cry 5 didn't have you gunning down rapey neckbeards and bible thumpers, possibly having a more humorous town and being kind of self-aware like the only good game in this series Blood Dragon, but instead had a generic cult with generic minions. Especially since the boxart and ads suggested they wanted to do the former, but didn't have the balls to go through with it. Oh well, not like I can't massacre red necks in Manhunt)

Let's be real, the worst things to happen to gaming because of Leftists were Bravely Second and Fire Emblem Fates getting censored in America, and even then only weeaboos give a shit about either.

Most of the time Leftist Nonsense in gaming just shows up in the form of journalists who scream a game is racist when they're too fucking stupid to pass a tutorial stage with on-screen instructions.

I mean we got that shitty Baldur's Gate midquel which completely destroys the characterization of your female party members, but it's a forced extra chapter for a game old enough to buy a beer in America, it was going to suck anyway.

However I did get a big laugh from Gamergate trying to scream bloody murder that an optional killable NPC being transgender completely destroyed any realism in the setting, because "IT TAKES PLACE IN THE MIDDLE AGES! THEY DIDN'T HAVE TRANNIES BACK THEN!1111"

Even though if they actually played Baldur's Gate instead of being reactionary fucktards. They'd know Baldur's Gate doesn't take in the Middle Ages, it takes place in a parallel dimension full of magic. They'd also know that not only do Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 have "The Girdle Of Masculinity/Feminity" which changes the gender of the character wearing it (Meaning you could be transgender yourself), but some stupid nameless NPC wasn't the first character to have transgender themes to their story. That honor goes to Edwina in Baldur's Gate 2 who between games was cursed to become a woman and as a result experience ridicule and gender dysphoria.

This not some obscure Baldur's Gate trivia or some detail buried in a vague sentence of some tie-in novel, it's something you'd know if you took even a cursory glance at the series.

However, we're talking about manchildren who will cry foul if a woman shows up in a game not half-naked and making sandwiches. Oh if these people were around back then they'd be screaming about how in Resident Evil "The woman's campaign is easier! Resident Evil is misandrist and promotes communism! Umbrella being an evil pharmacy company is just Capcom trying to please the Universal Healthcare people!1111 PANDERING!1111"

I mean shit, just look at the rage that ensued when Tracer from Overwatch turned out to be gay. "Oh no a fictional character doesn't like penises! I thought for sure she'd be my girlfriend if she were real!"

Of course their research is going to be just as awful as the very game journalists their boyscout group was created to stop.

This isn't to say there aren't games with blatantly leftist leans. Just for the sake of being fair and balance, I'll name some popular Leftist Gaming examples.

For example, the BioShock series being one giant middle finger to Conservatives, most blatantly in Infinite, but you can definitely see it in the first game. Also the story overall sucks, hey 2K Games would you kindly hire an actual writing staff?

Overwatch as mentioned before, Tracer being gay changes nothing, but they still only did it to please leftists, and even if we didn't have that we still have... Zarya who looks like the postergirl for Tumblr, 3/4 of the characters are non-white in the overly bloated cast. The fact that Iraq is shown to be a lush oasis paradise is definitely the most blatant.

However I will say this. Overwatch is at least fun and doesn't take place in one specific country, and is set in the far future so at least Blizzard did their homework to try and justify their decisions.

We have Undertale, less said about that the better. (Sans Undertale for Smash... just kidding Sans has been in Smash since Smash 64. Lololololol I'm so funny! Bad Times Skeleton, Spaghetti! Kill or Be Killed! Hahahaha... I'm so fucking hillarious!)

Gender Bender DNA Twister Extreme which basically got onto Steam by getting Feminists and Perverts to agree with each other. "We're fetishizing transgenderism, and you're transphobic if you say anything! Also titties!"

I'll also point out that I can't find any example of a game with a Right-Wing Slant that.... even exists in the first place outside of shovelware games on Steam which are either a hamfisted commentary on Feminists or overly abundant in Pro-Trump and Pro-Putin memes.




I wasn't, people actually shat themselves over Wolfenstein 2 being a game about Nazis taking over America and you haven't to kill Nazis. The game even had the slogan "Make America Nazi Free Again", but even that's not much to go on. Pretty sure hating nazis is kind of something everyone not named Richard Spencer does.

I mean yeah, people called Trump Supporters Nazis, and compared Trump's election to a Russian/Nazi takeover of the US... but it's very obviously concidence. Especially since yes I have played both the older and newer Wolfenstein games, the game Wolfenstein 2 is a sequel to is one about Nazis winning WW2, of course they'd take over America afterwards that's where the plot was logically heading to being with.

Seriously just watch the game's ads, they're mostly just Fake German TV Shows that exist in this Nazi version of America


Show me the part of them that, any of them that has this Leftist Pandering people were complaining about

And here's a Lassie spoof, still not seeing the Leftist lean

Here's a trailer specifically called "No More Nazis", it's mostly just BJ blowing shit up cut with one-liners from a sassy black chick. I mean I guess you got the black guy doing a German chick in a tank, but I only see that triggering you if you're an incel.

God the amusement I had at people over Wolfenstein 2, I'll never forget this one guy I saw on Facebook who said the game was leftist because BJ was "Half-Hebrew" and that meant the game "Supported Racial Intergration and Race Mixing!"
IIRC the main reason for the Baldur's Gate shitfit wasn't the fact that the character was a tranny so much as it being bizarrely written, shoved in your face and revealed by someone the player character just met. It was handled inelegantly and received about as poorly.

Bad timing. People were reeling from the "all right wingers are nazis" thing.

Two things

About Battlefield... Look, this is bullshit. I would be able to forgive this one armed Literal Social Justice Warrior giving it to the Nazis while rocking the vag if they had some degree of self-awareness.

The Nazis didn't have robots, Mecha Hitler, Red Skull, The Ark Of The Covenant, or anything like that nor did America have Captain America, Superman, Indiana Jones, Super Soldiers or anything like that. However in comic books, games, and movies, they put forth that it is fiction and remain self-aware, they're using real events as the setting and framing for entertainment.

There were no Inglorious Bastards who went around hunting Nazis, the Bear Jew was entirely fictitious, but again Inglorious Bastards was a work of fiction that threw likable characters into a famous period of history and said "Let's see what happens."

If they were straight up and said "Look, we know women couldn't serve in combat roles until 2016, and the disabled... still can't serve. Just roll with it, we've got this awesome idea for a character with a metal arm and huge tits going around killing nazis."

This would be forgivable, but no, they're trying to be realistic, yet still having these out of place elements.

Look there's being socially conscious and then there's revisionist history. This is the latter.

Don't tell me you wouldn't love to play a game that still had a somewhat serious plot, but said "Look this isn't real and it's not trying to be.", and had you killing nazis as some kind of relatable feminist super being.

Because fucking Bloodrayne
.....

Anyway moving onto Wolfenstein 2


Look if any Republicans took a peek at a game about killing nazis, and saw themselves as the nazis in that situation. I don't care what the left said, that sounds to me like a case of...

"Hey man, if the shoe fits..."
 
When does blackwashing and pinkwashing enter the lexicon?

No idea. I mean I can understand the want to include more black characters in things, and to an extent I think it's okay. As long as it's not something major or plothole inducing I'm fine with it. I mean Captain America being a nigger? Absolutely not. A character who although is major, doesn't have renown in the public eye like Nuck Fury being played by Samuel L. Jackson? Eh sure why not. I only had a problem with them going back and saying "WAIT 616 NICK FURY IS BLACK TOO! BECAUSE.. SHUT UP!"

A character like the Gunslinger from the Steven King books becoming white? Dude was a fucking Cowboy brought back in time from the past, and in the book him being racist against black teammates was a thing, just fucking dumb.

Pinkwashing is.... it can work.... but most of the time the results are more terrible than not. Either from forcing some kind of girl power motivation where it doesn't fit or by the usual "Most Writers are Male" trope causing the character to be written awkwardly.

it's almost as if wolfenstein 2 was different from wolfenstein 1...
:thinking:
 
It wasn't, the Right just loves playing victim even when it makes no sense. So does the Left come to think about it

I swear pretty much everyone seems to want to scream "I'M A VICTIM!" to gain power, these days.
did you even read my post on the other page

Wolfenstein 2 had a diverse cast, but in-game it wasn't particularly cringeworthy. It was clear that they were drawing from 70's exploitation movies and in context it made sense. The main reason Wolfenstein 2 caused an autistic seizure was due to the marketing department using some politically charged advertising (I think they referenced MAGA in a tweet). In any case, that ship has sunk since the game itself was short and mediocre and will be $5 in the end of the year Steam sale.

Those terms make little sense. "Whitewash" wasn't originally a racially charged phrase. It was a metaphor for basically sanitizing and censoring something, like whitewashing a fence. Maybe since Tom Sawyer isn't woke enough for kids to read anymore they don't get the reference now.
 
I used to like Battlefield, but I think they're now trying to appeal to the CoDfags, which I predicted years ago. Oh, and look, a World War II game, it's not like it's never been done to death before.

What's next? They gonna include Mexican Muslim trannies in the Waffen-SS to promote "equality" and "diversity?"
