Late on this, but the thing that put me off Deathloop, and something that applies to "nigger fatigue" in general isn't that the characters have dark skin. It's that it's always the same bullshit archtype. The frizzy hair unsufferable girlboss etc.
ive interpreted them as satirical and worked with it since the general gameplay was good enough and not complete shit. for example, the reason i never continued with that tales from the borderlands sequel was not due to le woke or character designs or anything like that. i just hated how the movement of walking around felt, and that was enough to make me not continue playing. Kinda the same reason why i never finished the first alan wake
 
Based on the very thread here, I'll say Disco Elysium.

I went in originally expecting forced woke nonsense and extreme amounts of fart huffing but I left with a totally engrossing experience and charmed by many different characters, the soundtrack, and the atmosphere.

Goddamn shame we'll never have anything like again at this point.
Measurehead is one of the most based characters in vidya despite being a niggo.
 
Any Action or Shooter games you guys recommend? Like one of the CoD games, or Far Cry, or Watch Dogs, etc.?
If you're okay with top-down retro shooters, I've been playing the shit out of Intravenous 1 and 2. It's like Splinter Cell meets Hotline Miami. There is some emphasis on stealth, but it's totally valid to turn every level into a bloodbath with music pounding. There is absolutely zero DEI, and nearly every character is white.
 
dwarf fortress has to be my favorite single player game of all time but its lead devs went turbo SJW and are now planning to remove the options for players to go on total elf death and etc. i'd recommend playing the last classic version, it should be in a few lunix package managers as the most up to date one (unless they update that too)
update: DF is now on 0.5 in classic mode, the risk of this being affected is now on

Wait, what the fuck are you on about? What happened with Tarn? I haven't kept up recently. I'll go look for sources myself, but could you give a quick run-down of what he's up to?
 
Depends on what you consider "woke". There are things in games that people consider "woke" that I don't and vice versa.

I haven't read the whole thread so forgive me if there's any repeating to my suggestion. (Also this is an older thread)

Baldur's Gate 3 is what I would consider more on the "woke" side but does a great job keeping it in the background if you don't like it. To an extent. There is an insane amount of gay couples via NPCs. You'd need more than both your hands to count them all in the entire game.
Most of them lesbians which pushes a theory I have about corporations pushing lesbian relationships in their media because men are more likely to accept the homo propaganda because lesbians are ""hot"" and ""sexy"". Lots of porn material to come from it.

But that's a whole other discussion.

Edit: My dumb ass somehow hit the send reply button before I was done.

Baldur's Gate 3 also has an npc drag queen voiced by an irl drag queen and an actual mtf troon npc.

You can choose to kill them, of course. But if you're trying to play the good guy, that makes it rough.
Oddly enough, I did kill the troon in one playthrough and yet later on the game treated it as if it were still alive.
Likely an oversight though.

Oh, fucking Kitfox...
 
Vampire Survivors.

I just got it on Steam sale, and I'm hooked. I'm told Jim Sterling wrote some of the monster bios where he made them trans. No idea if that's true because reading bios is not the point of that game. It also holds up as actually fun. Not just the YouTuber flavour of the month. Even if it falls off, I got my £3 out of it, so I'm fine recommending it.

It's the witch that throws cats. Inspired by the enemy from Symphony Of The Night. There is a tranny enemy in SotN. But it's not the witch. It's one of the floating mages. I think the one in pink. It's been a long time. They changed the description in th ePSP version because "new half" might be offensive. It was only when I read an article about it that I finally realised what that meant. I assumed she was supposed to be half vampire, half demon, half something. Why they used a term that made no sense to 90s English speakers is beyond me anyway.

So he made it so you’re able to kill hordes of trannies?
Terraria is technically going to have some woke shit once 1.4.5 comes out (Red is replacing the gender selection with Type A/Type B stuff, plus there's apparently a third gender type going to be added too). Also, the Gender Change Potion has been in the game for a while, if you want to count that.
But even so, Terraria is still one of the best, most fun videogames ever made. Peak music, beautiful mix of pixel artstyle and modern graphical effects, enjoyable exploration, a shitton of content. In short summary:

I hate the “gender erasure” shit so much it’s unreal. Granted, the game almost never uses it in its current state, death quotes don’t refer to the player as a man or a woman, only a few NPC dialogues take that into account. Still hate it though, I hope the “pronoun revolution” shit gets nukes from culture within the next few years
As for terraria’s mods, Calamity is another story. One of the NPCs is supposed to be a they/themtard and there’s an (avoidable) self insert lesbian tranny NPC that can turn into a MLP character :cryblood:
 
I honestly can’t think of any. Woke games are just bad.

The closest I can think of is the Tomb Raiser reboot but that was still kind of bad. The first Horizon game but that was before they made it woke. Fallout 3 if you count the alien guy as being some kind of LGBTQ allegory but that’s a stretch. The MOTHER series has a lot of braindead woke fans but the games aren’t woke (more of the opposite I’d argue) so I don’t think that counts. F-Zero GX has a gay nigger in it. Does that count?

I played the first Tomb Raider in the reboot series. And it felt fine if you ignore the story.
 
God of War Ragnarok is not worth playing. The first GoW game I played was the 2018 PC port. I really enjoyed it, I was excited to play GoW Ragnarok because of it, until Sweet Baby INC discussion was boosted here. I found out that they were involved with Ragnarok and it ruined all of my excitement. Previously I wanted to pre-order it because 2018 was one of the better games I played in the last several years. I was going to ignore it entirely but I saw it was released to PC recently so I pirated it.

Fuck, it's terrible. Even ignoring making the mother of Fenrir and wife of loki a black teen, and Aunt Jemima running around stealing animal souls. It's garbage, everyone has bizarre modern American accents, the dialogue is absolutely bizarre. It feels like a Disney show. People have coloured hair, there's a dwarf with a comical stereotypical southern retard accent, and norse gods have all been pussified. The pacing is god awful and worst of all it's fucking boring. With 2018 I couldn't wait to finish my work every day so I could get back in the game and play more. With Ragnarok I loathed starting it up, and I finally quit maybe 30% through. I was finding myself wanting to skip every cutscene in Atreus sections and constantly pausing to tell my friends how shitty the game was. I couldn't do it, I deleted it. What a disappointment.

ETA: Oh it's also very buggy and combat feels noticeably worse than 2018. The camera constantly gets stuck against walls so you can't see enemies or your character. Enemies get stuck walking in place in random areas, especially if you're fighting on multiple planes. Scripted sections with NPCs become broken or buggy if you wander too far off the path. 2018 combat was simpler, but much more satisfying and hard fights on hard difficulty were challenging.

I wish Kratos would split Freya's skull with his wife's axe. Absolutely insufferable character. God of War 2018 was great, I really enjoyed it on PC as well. I don't understand why they wanted to poz/girlboss the sequel. I miss the original trilogy and PSP ports. Great games.
 
Is Xcom Chimera Squad worth playing? I was a fan of nuXcom but avoided Chimera Squad because of all the wokeshit. But the game is £3 now.
