>game presents you with blatantly good choices

why do they allow stuff like this to be sold on Steam?

Abysmal bad faith bait thread but let's see how it goes.

USSR were the good guys and Nazis were the bad guys in WW2 so it makes sense.

>act professional
>game calls you a centrist sorry cop
I mean it's my fault to assume it's a role playing game instead of being author's power fantasy of telling people what they think to their face instead of on reddit
>>
>>729631276
there is literally nothing wrong with being a centrist
>>
>>729631367
the game implies there is, that's the issue. "It's not the people it's the system" bitch it's people exploiting and ruining the system, do you expect us to keep shuffling systems till we find the one that works perfectly? That will never happen. You need to be fucking 14 to believe that.
>>
>>729631367
If you work to uphold a system with corruption without working towards purging that corruption, you are complicit in the corruption through your inaction.

why is it illegal to be a fascist when communists have done far more damage?

western countries have more laws against being communist than they do against being fascist.
>>
>>729631042
Beyond just the politics of the game something about the writings would just never let me immerse myself in the story/world. I would start getting immersed and then the game would immediately break it by talking like someone completely outside of how someone in that setting would talk. So instead of it being some deadbeat crazy guy trying to solve a case it was instead a game where a protagonist with the most plot convenient amnesia possible has the authors from the 21st century talk to you

I think it’s funny that Measurehead has such a retarded girlfriend. It’s like he doesn’t realize that having a stupid partner means your kids will also turn out stupid.
>>
>>729631794
okay name me a system that doesn't have corruption then. Cause only worse corruption than during soviet regime was when we have abolished it. And, well, now.
>>
>>729632341
All of them have corruption. The only way to minimize corruption is to make government representation a random lottery of the entire population of a given nation.

He's a part of the Semen Retention Society, he doesn't actually care for offspring.
That's kind of the joke, he's obsessed about a race he's barely a part of, yet he's a race mixer and never even seen his homeland.
>>
>>729632390
random population is retarded enough to think that loli is cp and that if person is accused of something they must definitely be guilty. This would just be feudalism again
>>
>>729631714
The game "implies" centerists are boring retards, which they are. Doesn't mean they aren't right, but it is what it is.
>>
>>729631042
>>game calls you a nationalist
no, the game calls you a fascist. stop being a pussy.

One of the voices call you a centrist. But you aren’t supposed to listen to the voices all the time. They openly contradict each other.
>>
>>729632705
while also having the only likeable character be an asian centrist
>>
>>729631276
Calm the fuck down, the game is just calling you boring, you see all those crazy choices and you pick the one normal among them.
It's like Larian taking a jab at players for making a white man warrior despite having quadrillions of options in character creation. There's really no reason to take everything so personally.
>>
>>729632950
Kim is also a boring retard. Nothing would have been solved or changed or moved along or uncovered if it wasn't for Harry.
>>
>>729632521
The remaining Cold War laws say otherwise.
>>
>>729632704
How would it be feudalism in any way?
>>
>>729631042
Nationalist dialogue choices are also the only ones that damage your morale healthbar.
Not so much of a "choose-your-own-adventure" as advertised
This game is packed with basedface. I played it because my friend insisted it was good but literally I think people only like it for muh dice rolls.
Personally, I don't get titilated by muh dice rolls

>>729632705
>>729633084
The game doesn’t imply that at all
>Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is *control*. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth
Simply put; the only way to not go insane is to recognize what’s going to happen will happen and you should focus on controlling what you can, nothing about that implies that being a centrist is boring or retarded
>>
>>729633084
what's funny is that i did pick warrior because having 50 possible actions to do every turn would get annoying to do for every character. And knowing videogames, the warrior would be the strongest anyway. But i picked a gnome tho.
>>
>>729633178
because you assume that random people are conscious enough to not have corruption. I assume they will immediately corrupt and ruin the system to put themselves on top. So oligarchy aka modern feudalism
>>
>>729631042
Sounds like maybe the communists are the good guys :)

>make a decision

woah

There is no logical reason for a gamer to not be a Communist.

The central planner decided that the last bit of electricity in our city have to be devoted towards a rational economic development. No vidya for the chudded!

>>729634281
but what if my political identity is my entire personality
>>
The game actively mocks you and comments on what you do and say. I made some "left" and "right" and the entity/narrator just something either way. I think some people are just easily offended.
>>

Fuck

the idea of making it big off of video games has driven the rise of the indie games market.
this would not exist under communism.

>roleplay as a centrist policeman

what exactly did you expect? would you be happier if it told you that as a professional cop, you're a based true-communism building stalinist? a hitlerite fascist? bush jr?

Kim called me a little bit racist at the end for agreeing with the lorry driver that I was racist because I thought if he thinks I'm like him he'll give us more information...

>>729631714
>do you expect us to keep shuffling systems till we find the one that works perfectly?
no, but we shuffle systems to find ones that work better than the ones that came before. the ways in which people exploited and ruined both soviet socialism and contemporary capitalism are still substantially better than the ways they exploited feudalism because the system determines the incentives people face. say what you will about some bureaucrat stealing from the state car factory or billionaire holding down wages, neither are half as miserable as life under feudalism where something as basic as a uniform system of weights and measures (so that your lord can't scam you on milling grain, etc) is considered an unthinkably revolutionary demand.
