Famously conservative video games Bioshock and Metal Gear Rising.

    Metal Gear Rising really is the funniest one on this list. The game's main antagonist is Dick Cheney with nanomachines who verbatim says he wants to "Make America Great Again" a full two years before the Trump campaign starts. You kill an insane amount of cops. One of the bosses, who is shown to be nothing more than a psychopath who enjoys war, wants the world to go back to "the good old days after 9/11" when arms manufacturers could do anything they wanted. It portrays a world where war is nothing but a vehicle for profit, and the main characters realises he wants nothing to do with this, leaves his PMC outfit, and fights for himself against these evil corporations. It's not subtle, in the slightest. I have no idea how you can read this game as conservative.

      I can.

      A lot of freeze-gamer seriously say that Senator Armstrong was based and quote him as some ideal politician the way they also worship Walter White and Patrick Bateman.

      Who wants to help me crowdfund a bribe to Trump's speechwriter to have him say the entire Senator Armstrong monolog at a rally?
