in my opinion i think the issue with politics in modern gaming is that the constant ramming of political agendas down our throats is often at the expense of making good video games in contrast to in the past when even if the game had political themes it didn't come at the expense of a good video game
I think people get just confused when they have the video running in the background while doing other stuff. That's how most people use RUclips unfortunately. To me your point was very clear.
Well said Buggy, I think you clarified yourself fully here. Also what a clutch game of FFA, I was sweating thinking someone would take first place the whole last minute of that match 😂
This is a good clarification. People get pretty worked up when the Pword (politics) is brought up. I tried to stay neutral in my recent video about politics and still got some "feedback" from both sides on my "incorrect facts" and my "ignorance and bias". You just can't win no matter what you post sometimes lol. Here's to stirring some more controversy in the future!
I thought you did a great job at communicating your position in your previous video. Your opinion was balanced and moderate. Unfortunately for some people, anything even an inch to the right of their political position is “far right hate speech” and for others, anything an inch to the left is “woke deep state censorship”. There’s no room for nuance. You either agree with me 100% of the time about 100% of the things, or you’re the enemy. We need to hear more opinions like yours that are thoughtful and respectful. Keep up the great work!
I think you have a good balance on the issue, but some people are just going to go into rage mode by the simple existence of pronoun selection or body type in place of male/female, those people are so far to the other side that it doesnt do the issue justice. All we want is good games presented in a way that is engaging and believable and some of these companies just take the super far left approach and just make that the entire identity of the games. well defined take, bug. Peace
well said, i apologize if the comment i left on your previous video was confusing. i didn't intend to come off like i left a comment ignoring the points you brought up.
Agendas and Politics I think need to be differentiated. Metal Gear solid and even Halo for example is a very political game but it's done in an intelligent way where it's not an agenda being shoved down your throat. When it has a place in the story then it makes perfect sense. Metal Gear Solid incorporates politics within the story and it's part of the narrative. In Halo 2 religion is quite literally the main part of the narrative and it brings up many themes that get the player to critically think about. Now an agenda is when something feels out of place such as just throwing pronouns into a mythical fantasy world. It's just there as an agenda for no reason. In DragonAge Veilguard for example makes you do pushups for misgendering which is just quite odd and makes no sense. In a fantasy world why are there body scars for a gender change surgery. Why not just use a gender change potion or spell lol. Most games are political, but like you said it's the execution that matters.
Have I travelled back into time? Wow old school cod coms! Subscribed 😮
It's just so chill to watch 😃

True. Sadly the vocal minorities are the people on the super far right or super far left. Very seldom do we hear from the people in the middle.

All love my friend!

Very good distinction. This is very true!
Politics are messy in general honestly. I'm not really into politics but people really love to to shove their political opinions down your throat
politics should be illegal
Facts.
Trump 2024 baby 🇺🇸
🕺This is the closest I could find to the Trump dance. 🤷🏻♂️
