KF Guide to Woke Games

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Ghost of Tsushima is Mild. There are two mentions of same gay relationship (which I had to google to find out), overly ugly female character models, and ridiculously competent and strong female bandit and a grandma with nagitana. But the other 99% of game time it's fun Japan exploration open world.
Isn't it just one mention? I think it's tied to some sidequest where you have to save a peasant's "friend" and then in the last line the peasant lets it slip that they're fag lovers. It's not in your face or anything. Naginata grandma isn't that egregious imo given that the naginata is a weapon associated with women that every woman of the samurai class had to learn to wield.

Having a woman trained with Naginata drive off bandits is fine, having them fight against Mongols is ridiculous. And having a badass grandma is always silly, at least old men can still kick some ass if they get lucky and have the genes to keep their muscle mass. Only in scifi you can justify that trope.
 
you'd be surprised at the tolerance i have for a lot of the stuff here. im convinced most people here will act like snowflakes at mild shit and be put off from a game just for that, no matter how minor.
But aren’t you acting like a snowflake and whining about consumers choosing how they spend their money + time? How does it affect you if they don’t play them, so long as you can play your little bothered heart out?

Fine with me. Like many, I have a huge backlog of games I've yet to get to (I've not even played GTA5 yet, I still have a sealed copy for 360).

Pacific Drive was one of the first games in a long time I was looking forward to, but even that is easy enough to strike from my list. And if I change my mind, I can always pick it up later when it's on sale or whatever.

There are a metric ton of games recently. Being picky isn't necessarily a bad thing.
 
Anyone have any thoughts on Elden Ring? I remember the "Type A/B" thing from the character creation, but I'm not sure what else is in the game; never got too far into it, actually.
 
Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - None
The protagonist is male. There is a town where you can enter a sauna, which has sections for both men and women. You aren't allowed to enter the women's side, but you can sneak in a different way and get lectured for it. You even get an award. It is all presented in innocent jest.

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life - None

Yakuza: Like a Dragon - None
There is nothing woke to be found in this game. There is a party chat near the top right corner of the map after Saeko joins the party that mocks gender sensitivity:
(And by coincidence, the YouTube URL code for that has "wOKE" in the URL: 9aGdeLPwOKE)

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth - Mild, borderline none
There is a single scene very early in the game where Ichiban goes on a date, bombs, and has a chat with his friends about it. He describes something she did as something like "great, for a woman", and Nanba lectures him.

That is all I have seen, and I have completed the game's story and done a chunk of the side content. Those lines felt more like they were there just to stave off any journos from throwing a brick through their windows.
 
Prey (2017, Arkane): I'd say Mild
I need to replay it and see if there was more wokeness, but what I remember:
- If you choose the female as protagonist, she's a lesbian, but you can be cruel to the ex girlfriend and let her die.
- There's an incredibly annoying lesbian couple that left some incredibly annoying recorded conversations, but as you progress, one turns out to have been murdered and the other one probably dies from being outside the space station for too long and running out of oxygen ( :story: )
- Some designs have a little tumblr-styled inclusivity. For example, Sarah Elazar is a black jewess ( :story: ), and Dayo Igwe is an african man with vitiligo.
 
- If you choose the female as protagonist, she's a lesbian, but you can be cruel to the ex girlfriend and let her die.
If you choose the male protagonist, it also means that your secretary that secretly writes about how hot you are is gay. It's almost clever how they made both options include shit like that, but the female one is more obvious.
I want to say you can also find a pair of corpses of a gay couple who decided "fuck it" and shared a bottle of wine before offing themselves, but I might be confusing that with something else, it's been a while.

I’d like to add Final Fantasy XVI for Mild/Medium wokeness. Has a gay kiss scene and one of the major characters is gay. I would say this is Medium wokeness.

There is also a line in the side quest “Under New Management II” where the Duke of Oriflamme says “It is clear that Northreach should not be led by men like me, but women like her.” (Referring to his daughter) this could be considered
Mild wokeness because it might not be woke, but it sounds woke.
It deserves a higher rating. Way higher. It's a breeding ground for furries and trannies.

the whole game is very feminine.

That’s XIV not XVI. As for that game, meh, it’s pretty much a mild for me. No LGBT characters (at least that I know of), no identity politics, none of that stuff. I put it mild because every race is buddy buddy and the inter territorial conflict kind of got “resolved” so now everyone’s kind of allies with each other.

The community, however, is on another fucking level. It’s way past the level of heavy. It’s riddled with trannies.
 
I would like to add Monster Hunter World as none. You can only make a male or female character and they aren't ugly unless you purposefully screw with the settings. The NPCs are no nonsense sticking to the story to help you investigate and slay the big godzilla looking elder dragon. There are also cute cat assistants that help you in your fights. If I'm missing anything feel free to add whatever it is.
There's one romantic mention towards the protagonist the helper makes near the end of the story that kinda comes out of nowhere. Right before you fight the last or second to last elder dragon. Somewhere along the lines of "I can't live without you", but that's legitimately the only time any romance is brought into the game. Haven't replayed it as a female but I'm pretty sure, just based on the rigidity of the games dialogue, that it'd be the same regardless. It's negligible but I figure why not nitpick?

Prey (2017, Arkane): I'd say Mild
Was somehow still less woke than Dishonored 2. Speaking of,

Dishonored 2 (Arkane): Medium/Heavy.
  • Empress Emily is made a playable character. That alone isn't that big of a deal but it's implied she is/was in some lesbian relationship, which as empress would no doubt be very much not allowed.
  • Every woman is portrayed as extremely competent or sympathetic. The player is still able to kill everyone.
  • The men are all portrayed as craven, disgusting, evil, or feeble. Even Corvo seemes more of a faggot.
  • There is a tranny who the player can do a quest for. The tranny status is revealed through notes and audio recordings.
  • The main villain runs a lesbianic cult. That was part of the first game but wouldn't you know it, they just happened to repurpose the wokest part of the Dishonored 1 because reasons or something.
  • Harvey Smith is a colossal stinkditch sucking faggot who brought in Anita and her cronies in to consult.

See, that's why I need to give it a replay, because I never did a walkthrough with male Morgan. And give the Mooncrash DLC a try and see if there's heavier wokism there.

Isn't that from System Shock 2? I remember you could find a dead guy with some booze at a room with a non functional male hologram, but IIRC opening that room wastes a lot of resources in a game where it's really hard to get them, and it's not necessary because the object to advance is in another room in the area.

Could be, it's been an age since I played either. I want to say it's at the part where you go into the zero-G sections in the station's transport guts, floating through those tubes connecting different areas, but it's only a vague recollection.

There's a note with some flowers and maybe a bottle of wine in the GUTS but I don't remember if that was implied to be gay or not.

Well I’m talking about XVI, not XIV. And honestly, I wouldn’t call a game woke just because of its playerbase. Catgirls and bunny girls are just Japanese shit. FFXIV itself is a very non-woke game. Except maybe stormblood. You MIGHT be able to make a point for that.
