Reccetear: "Yo, I have a suggestion for another game that might interest you.
Recettear is a japanese game about a young girl taking over a store to pay off her debts. While innocent in appearance, they game makes some points about financial realities, like a big bank demanding ridiculous payments to take away your house, going so far as to throw a kid into the streets if you get a game over. You also experience some fun merchant stuff like exploiting your workers by sending them into dungeons and giving them much less money than the items they collect for you are worth, charging at least 15, often 40% more than any product is worth and accumulating capital for the sheer sake of it in Endless Mode."

What does this mean? I can't find the command for "build factories" anywhere on the wiki.

seen them they are very good.

...

Guevara (or Guerilla War as it was called in America - cus Porky censorship) was a really awesome nes era shoot-em'-up about Che & Castro fighting Batista's men all across Cuba.

You can get a copy of the rom pretty easily - in fact here it is.

emuparadise.me/Nintendo_Entertainment_System_ROMs/Guevara_(Japan)/55686
All ya need to play is an nes emulator - now go kill some Capitalist scum 8-bit style!

Burning away braincells is indeed a very very engaging and enjoyable experience. Why do you think alcohol was invented?

Metro 2033

Glory to the Red Line!

Wow. What do you think we are doing here anyway?

Having fun.

I wish we had gotten the Bioshock they were making before Levine scrapped it and remade it in the last 9 months.
youtu.be/muJYTeQlvC4

And had them blow all of their budget on idle animations. Don't know when that started.

you guys and Holla Forums are two sides of the same, delusional, coin.

Great observation. It's not like Holla Forums is in the name or anything.

If you mean that we're both the sort who don't read and decide to juice our brains down with capitalist hobbies to the point where we're just slightly above retardation, then yes, the majority of boards are like that.

i have one more for your list
night in the woods under the anti-cap/anarchist list

general consensus on Holla Forums says that this is the approved game

Blame Capitalism.


You're RADICAL CENTRIST, amma right?


But who backed the cakes? Who set up the balloons? Porky Pie? OR THE WORKING PONNIES THAT NOONE MENTIONS????

hell yeah bitch

Get rid of the RADICAL and you're pretty spot on

My mom actually got that game for my brother because he was a brony. Needless to say he was NOT happy.

Ye… I'll keep the RADICAL.
It means you're a faggot.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, never change Holla Forums

you know tumblr images come up on Google Images right?

also

I always knew this board was 50% reddit 50% tumblr.

...

gj champ, you pegged us

It's not about sides. It's about self interest.

Now, you can still be an apolitical faggot, but I don't know what you're doing here.

...

reposted from /games/

...

How many of you have played Revolution Under Siege? It requires a bit of patience, but it's quite good.

REMINDER THAT YOU CAN KILL THE CZAR AND BULLY THE ANARCHISTS

is it because that Holla Forums was pushed off of halfchan Holla Forums for being a bunch of whiny cunts?

...

infishit was liberal shlock

Not explicitly leftist, but in Doom 2016, the Doomslayer is asked to save Hayden's company, a stand in for capitalism, from the ruin that they have created for themselves, but the Doomslayer instead decides to destroy the company.

Revisionist Booker is worst Booker

Victoria 2 with its communist revolutions and planned economy.

Play Saints Row IV as Mein Drumpf

Thematically Factorio might count

Are there any mods which irons out Victoria's problems?

Like the "anarcho-liberals" or the way communism is portrayed?

what the FUCK

Thank you!


Somebody told me there was a way to automate factory construction while playing central planning, or a button you could press to build all available factories, because otherwise trying to keep your economy going is a complete chore

Fallout: New Vegas had some pretty lefty themes.
Pretty bummed out by how little they did with Westside, though.

How would you say Final Fantasy Tactics is anti-imperialistic?

Very anti church, without a doubt.

Does anyone has some tips for Hidden Agenda starters? Just booted it

What do you need help with, my dude? My personal advice is to arm the working class and never trust the bald, Uruhue looking guy from the centrists. He'll defect to the right wing the moment you do anything but straight up capitalism.

Also, pick your advisors carefully. I suggest having the Christian party advisor you'll need as a foreign advisor, as otherwise you run the risk of being forced to either unravel the system or open fire on strikers.

That's exactly what I'm doing now, thx for help. And fuckin' burgerland

we don't base our worldview on video games though

cause we base video games on our world view

this really does have to be the most retarded crap
like you literally just observed that it was called 'leftypol' and some people were memeing about stalin and concluded MUH HORSESHOE THEORY RIGHT AGAIN!!!
The opposite side of the coin from Holla Forums is idpol tumblr. They're a mirror of SJWs. Leftypol very particularly doesnt give a shit about most of what Holla Forums does.
Unless the intention here is 'you both have a problem with how things are right now and thats wrong things are great its just u extremists that r teh porbelm' in which case get necked faggot

I haven't personally played it, that's what someone told me, perhaps it's more that it's anti-monarchy anti-divine right of kings sure.

Christ you get made fun of by furfags if you let slip you're leftist in any way, and have you been on Holla Forums recently, every thread eventually someone brings up Louie CK promptly followed by 100+ pictures of a black guy fucking a white girl and constant uttering of the word cuck, it's almost like they're trying to project something

tfw Fallout NV is the ONLY game I enjoyed playing

Mario is gommunist prove me wrong. Also this is best mario game

Yup, checks out

how will I recover?

Is dwarf fortress really a gommunist game? I thought that you could only make monarchies/noble oligarchies mirroring the middle ages feudal sistem. Not saying it's bad but if I could make Gommunisd Dwarvs I'd pick up the game again since I never played it a lot

Well the nobles are pretty shit and practically everyone goes out of their way to kill them so there's that. Also there is no currency because currency is broken.

There's also adventure mode where you can go through killing nobility in increasing levels of fucked-up.

Love this one. A World Without Borders is basicaly posadism:


Ace Combat 3 (japanese version) has a kind of leftist transhumanist faction in a world of corporatocracy.

but if they kill the nobles you still can make a functioning fortress? I thought that they are jerks that exploit the other dwarfes but they had an important function nonetheless and couldn't be removed without fucking up and game over.
never got to use it. but I only thought it was Autism tokens

Adventur mode seems interesting but It's the peak autism of fortress mode that I found amazing

Usually I play it when I want to take a break from the stupidity of my dworfs and instead want to realize how stupid I am. I'll go through 4 or so characters before eventually resuming fort mode.

I refuse to play anything other than animal people which usually hinders me. I've had everything from misjudging height as a jumping spider man and falling to my death, breaking body parts as I fall to a rhinoceros man who decided punching things was too boring and necromanced a giant

Also I've reached HFS with a vampire noble trapped in a 2x2 wallspace.

Man what the fuck was I doing

Hmmm… He's a worker who kills royals in order to fuck another royal. Maybe he just wants to be king. Also, you are correct, that is the best Mario game. And also one of the best games of all time.

Daily reminder this is our guy. Leader of band of rogue warriors. Regularly attacks private property. Supports the poor and needy by stealing from monolithic and corrupt and corporations.

...

Finally someone with taste

t. movieblob

le nintendo now is garbage so if you like their early games you are uncool meme

Papers, Please isn't even explicitly anti-communist. Arstotzka is in a region that's a total shithole awash with terrorists, people smugglers and poverty. Arstotzka has the best healthcare system in the region, and its neighbours are generally worse in at least one way.
Arstotzka - More Nazbol than communist, strong family values, makes medical innovations and has the best surgeons, recovering from war, constantly under Kolechian terrorist attack
Antegria - Surveillance state, domestic spying is rife
Impor - Poverty stricken one party state, complete with famines
Kolechia - An absolute shithole where everything is ten times worse than Arstotzka
Obristan - Stable democratic country, probably one of the best for day to day living, so big it's probably quite rural
Republia - Shitty corrupt dictatorship
United Federation - Wealthy dictatorship, suffers from polio outbreak

Who?

Jon CJG and Xanatos (creator of the Gman Squad).

The former is even more depressing, considering that the dude struggled with actual depression realizing that he couldn't do anything after Arby N' The Chief, and that Machinima screwed him over financially. You can tell that he's bitter about trying to pander so much in his newer videos.

I was surprised that Vox Populi was actually socialist. I mean the workers didn't just kill the bourgeoise, they literally took control over the factories. Which made it more frustrating when the game made you betray them because "hurting porky makes you just as bad as porky"

I liked Papers Please and I see your point, interesting take, it is certainly of the 'Days of Our Lives' vein though. I didn't feel like it was a hackjob even if it was critical of East German style socialism.

Ive seen enough times people telling Holla Forums to get the fuck out, they just shitpost any thread with any slightly left wing sentiment but that doesn't mean its the majority view. Of course it doesn't mean its NOT the majority view either, so I'm not saying much i guess.

Now this is real communism!

The game has a strong anti-hierarchy theme going on.

Is it possible to play Hidden Agenda for more than three years if I take up the election actions more often? I wasn't aware I would be kicked out after three years automatically and wanted to see how things would resolve.

Unfortunately, no. The game apparently just runs out of events after that, so even if you were to hack it to extend the timeline, I don't think it would work.

Yeah I did it a second time doing some elections in year three (won it) and it still ends. You seem to end up in an immense amount of debt and there's no more events after you've fought off the CIA and taken each path to its conclusion.
Shame Crisis 2 has such crappy layout and design tbh, I bet there's a nice game underneath all that programmer art, but I just can't get past it.

It also goes deep into the idea that people are prisoners to modern society, and you pretty much kill an avatar of the gnostic interpretation of God to stop his influence.

Pretty strong anti-authoritarian message in this one depending on the ending you go with.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_(psychology)
jungiananalystvt.com/HowdoesJungianAnalysisWork.en.html
The biggest overarching theme is the characters solving their problems via Jungian psychoanalysis

unteralterbach

No, it was because you, in that universe, were supposed to be what Fem Stalin based her power on and you fucked up her power structure.


8/v/ only tell pol to leave, if they go full ze joos.
8/v/ is also alergic to lesbians and other "progressive" stuff, no matter how good the game is.

...

How is this leftist at all? I might play it?

The narrative starts with you escaping the soul crushing existence as a corporate drone to the idyllic countryside of your grandfather's farm, where it's also implied that a sinister corporation is looking to move in and drive all the small businesses in the nearby town out

Harvest Moon was about farming, back in my day…

Is it strange that to me, as a Burger, the most striking thing about that game is that the government gives you a job and your own apartment. The protagonist even acts like this is some big inconvenience.

how is Jon cjg alt-right ?

I've been watching his new stuff and it's pretty much the same as the stuff from 2007

just a tad bit more pretentious

is fallout 2 the first and only anarcho-primitivist game ?

Ah, so my life in Maine, basically. I guess I'll have to play.

The main quest of the game makes it not so. You are looking for a very technologically advanced device built before the war to save your people.

In UnderRail you can join an Anarchist gang called the "Free Drones," and do questline for them where you fuck up the most powerful centralized organization in the game "the Protectorate".

It's a really fucking fun game regardless though.

If anyone has RO:OST and not its abomination of a shit sequel RO2, Darkest Hour is a (FREE) mod that lets you play on the Western Front. They've ported a lot of maps over from RO:OST too, and more often than not the populated server (29th) plays the Russian maps.

It's good fun. We could always use more players. It has more features than RO2, and is getting an update soon. May come out today.

Ogre Battle 64 is more anti-imperialist than explicitly leftist, but it has some relevant themes.
A revolution and civil war begin because of economic oppression and starvation, enslaved ethnic groups join in, it deals with the use of religion to control people, the prince wants to change the system from within but fails, etc.

Forgot to take the shitposting flag off.

Pikmin 2 is a commentary on imperialism
You cannot disprove this

Man we should have a game vs Holla Forums some time, if the dolan fags can stand to not be faggots and cheat like crazy.
