      Nooo it makes fun of ALL ideologies!! its MY game, a CENTRIST game! the fact that the developers thanked marx and engels for their ''political education'' at the game awards doesn't mean anything, they were just researching that particular ideology to make the game more accurate!

    Nahhhh chuds complained so much about the newer Wolfenstein games going woke. Mostly the second game though, where you ally with alternate universe black panthers and commies. There was and still is an absolute flood of vile shit said about the character Grace for being a black woman who doesn't trust mighty whitey in the post nazi apocalypse.

      Grace's one and only problem is that she became a cop after the revolution

        I'm just gonna handwave that off as alternate Youngblood timeline bs, no way she becomes FBI. She calls the feds out multiple times in TNC, hell she was being tried for murder of an agent before Super Spesh helped her

          I'm okay with relegating the entire game to alternate continuity status. I liked the twins, but that was about the only thing I liked about Youngblood.

            Damn - I've been playing through the machinegames Wolfenstein entries recently and was thoroughly enjoying them in spite of the discourse about TNC being a huge letdown (no real complaints from me aside from difficulty in some sections).

            Was hoping the same would be true of Youngblood's reputation but it just seems kinda unpleasant huh. Hope it's enjoyable in coop anyway cause my partner and I were gonna play through it together

              I don't want to mislead you here, out of all the machinegames entries into the series, Youngblood is the one I've spent the absolute least time with. But I found many of the narrative decisions off-putting (again, Grace being made a cop, what the fuck), the dialogue wasn't great, the gameplay was repetitive, etcetera. With all that being said, it's been years since I've played it, and I'm going purely off of what I'm sure are questionably reliable memories. Since you've got somebody to play it with (which is good, because while you can play it solo, I definitely felt like I was missing the point by doing so) by all means, give it a shot. Maybe you'll come back and tell me that I was being unkind or harsher with hindsight than perhaps was warranted. I'd be happy to be wrong in this case.

    I agree about Red Dead Redemption 2.

    There's nothing political about massacring a crowd of Klan members. It's just what normal people do and always did! Anyone who doesn't kill KKK members on-sight in the most gruesome way possible is just a woke ass beta soyboy lib.

    The most political game is Plants vs Zombies, clearly trying to hawk the farm bill to supplant the mega food corporations and ensure we buy expensive unnecessary veggies.

    The original Diablo is extremely political. Woke leftists want to cancel The Butcher for craving fresh meat.
