>OMG DID U KILL LE HECKIN SLAVERINOS TO TEST UR DRUG
Why do people pretend older games didn't moralize?
>>
>>730738124
killing slaves by testing drugs is morally wrong though
>>
>>730738124
literally every time people argue "old games" are preachy they use fallout 2 which was coincidentally helmed by an actual faggot
>>
>>730739593
Metal Gear has always had an obvious anti-war message
FF7 is environmentalist
Beyond Good & Evil is against the military-industrial complex and the complicity of the media (starring Strong Female Character)
TF2 has a black Scottish cyclops
HL2 also has the token biracial (none of them white) Strong Female Character scientist/martial artist saving the white male protagonist
Portal has a Hispanic woman as a protagonist
Many, many games about killing nazis

I don't know where you want to draw the line but these are surely all over the line for /v/ today

People comparing any sort of position in the current age versus the 90s are either being intentionally misleading or are genuinely retarded. The absolute fucking war on sanity that has happened over the last decade and a half has dialed fucking EVERYTHING up to eleven, and it's by design. A perfect storm of the rusnig psyops and then after occupy ((them)) as well
>>
>>730738124
Jet is good for you
>>
>>730739593
Tim Cain left early in its development retard.
>>
>>730740949
It was quite literally designed to be an addictive hallucinogen that was bad for you.
>>
>>730739593
Fallout 1 was helmed by an actual faggot, F2 wasn't
>>
>>730740709
>Ff7 is environmentalist
The game is outright about a natural force coming to kill everyone, and only the megacorp electric company can build the laser to give the world a chance.
Barrett even says Shinra has a point when they are in the mountains. He admits they are beautiful, but he could never live there without industry.
>>
>>730740905
You're right that there's been a war on sanity but you're entirely wrong on who perpetrated it and who the casualties were

Also, damn, forgot about Oddworld
There's so many good games that are very obviously overtly political
Meanwhile you probably couldn't even make Thief today without some tiny-dicked Sugma Male complaining that discouraging violence is a Jewish communist psy-op humiliation ritual
>>
>>730738124
Myron was innocent, because fallout 4 revealed Jet is a pre war drug. He was just confusing his history because he needed to rape a retard badly at that moment.
>>
>>730740709
Or what about Halo?
>Unified humanity faces extinction from religious bigots
Or Assassin's Creed
>Religion is a lie used to manipulate the masses
>>
>>730741796
Mass Effect
>You can be gay
Man I remember when /v/ actually defended this *from* religious zealots
>>
>>730741606
I mean isn't Myron just a fraud talking good game? His "invention" of Jet was purely accidental.
>>
>>730741039
But it is an incredibly powerful chem in the game, In fallout 2 using 2 jets is almost equivalent to gaining 8 agility. Granted it lasts only 5 minutes but that's all you need to for example wipe out entire slaver's guild.
>>
>>730739593
Every RPG that has a morality system literally tells you "these acts are Good and these acts are Evil", if that's not preachy nothing is
>>
>>730742365
Aren't the % chances of OD'ing in F2 incredibly high or am I just thinking of addictions.
>>
>>730742481
You can only OD in Tactics but yes jet has 50% addition chance, doesn't matter because there's so much jet available you'll never run out and the penalty is minuscule.
>>
>>730740709
we are going to extrapolate everything as good vs evil at the end of the day otherwise there's no game
>>
>>730743071
Sounds kinda preachy to me, if they were fair and balanced they wouldn't judge me for killing children for fun, that's actually super anti-Semitic
>>
>>730743071
>>730743259
PS but anti-Semitism isn't wrong, of course, and if you want to be anti-Semitic in a game it shouldn't judge you for it
>>
>>730741959
Because back then it was novel an expression of artistic integrity, now it's just diversity baiting
It was back then as well
>>
>>730743948
I can't believe old /v/ fell for such an obvious ruse when modern /v/ is so entirely free from manipulation
>>
>>730744304
>modern /v/ is so entirely free from manipulation
*ba dum tssss*
