Cant tell how sincere this is but lol

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 guess I can never underestimate the shockingly low level of media literacy in our beloved modernity, huh.
Who wants to help me crowdfund a bribe to Trump's speechwriter to have him say the entire Senator Armstrong monolog at a rally?
- There’s no way Trump could ever stick to a speech — you get the comedy gold by winging it
- Still wouldnt top Herman Cain plagiarizing Pokémon
Alright I'm downloading this.
Shit I have to play that
- don't do hard difficulty lol I couldn't get past one of the earliest areas I'm gonna have to start over.
wants the world to go back to "the good old days after 9/11"
lmao I forgot that was an actual quote from the game and not a Max0r joke.

essential commiecore:

spider solitaire

Darktide

DoA Xtreme

Nobody ever actually played those

Fallout 3, CoD4, and MGRR

The bad guys are literally the US government lmao

Darktide, a game about killing militant antivaxxers.
DoA Xtreme
Nobody ever actually played those
B-b-b-b-but The Quatering told me that "Boner culture" is so important to defend!
Nobody ever actually played those
Funny enough, my very gay older brother played them a lot. He was also just really into volleyball
But Kojima said media and elites bad so he’s literally me!

These games are all either a handful of explicitly NOT conservative games, military shooters, a couple games that sexualize women, and then just "games I like".

DoA: Xtreme Beach Volleyball

Zelda OOC

Fuck offfffffff

Well... The main villain is black.
Something about using the power of God under direction of what's presumably a traditional monarchy to fight the forces of anarchy, also.
But mostly the main villain thing.

Can you really call this the "conservative essentials" without gems like Custer's Revenge and Hatred?

I would probably include Metal Wolf Chaos unironically.

Ah yes, Silent Hill 3, where you play as a woman and perform an abortion on a god, where all the religious people are depicted as murderous lunatics and the most powerful deity in the game is a disabled woman.

Heather make me pp hard therefore game is for republicans.
- Heather Mason got tired of women's clothing having no pockets, so she found an outfit made entirely of pockets instead.

The basic rimworld colony is basically anarcho communist, what the hell.

Arent the devs big chuds?
- I thought that was Factorio?
- Oh no, is there something idk about them? I was not aware of them having any rightoid shit.
It also has canonically trans backstories. Not from the developer, iirc it was an early sponsorship thing where if you funded the development you could create backstories that would be in the game
- Yeah, it was from the name in the game thing. Ig they could have denied those backstories if they were chuds.

The funniest part is that the original tweet that triggered the chud was this ::: spoiler transcore chart

:::

Love how FNV is there twice, its just that good.
This is way too accurate. Every trans person I've known in person is really into Touhou, Persona, and Disco Elysium.
Also every leftist I've met is a Sonic enjoyer.
Okay, this list actually makes sense unlike that terrible conservativecore one lol. Although L*ague being on this list is pretty bad.
So OG Zelda is both trans and conservative? Also is 'Tell Me Why' any good, remember seeing the trailer for it then nothing else?
- I liked it, but I like most of Dontnod's work. Not sure if it got as much traction in popular press as Life is Strange.
  Storytelling is really good, but the fairly realistic graphical style didn't do it many favours either. It looks fairly generic at a glance I think.
is there 2 fallout new vegas
MUCH better games.
Trans people stay winning.
- Both lists have genuine bangers but yeah there's a fair amount of trash on the conservacore list while this list is bangers only.

These games are really old.

Back before
were invented.

ocarina of time

Are they not offended by Sheik?

Well since masculinity is a beacon of moral fortitude that everyone should be aspiring to It makes sense that even an incarnation of God would rather be a ninja than a princess.
/s

The entire thought process was probably "lolis are in it".
But Touhou also showed up on the transcore games meme lol so
tfw they don't know abt the official book where Aya basically creates Fox News but for Gensokyo

I would say a third of those games make sense.

Anything WW2, Shooters, and anything 40K related would be my assumptions. I would also throw in Madden. Top of the chud pile would be Call of Duty.

Oddly enough BioShock still has Ayn Rand fans despite the story. Naturally they can't understand that it is a deconstruction of Ayn Rand. They also say the only reason Rapture failed was because Ryan abandoned his ideals...

HE DID BECAUSE HE FUCKING HAD TO BECAUSE HE WAS LOSING UNDER HIS IDEALS. That is the entire point of that story. It's a self contradicting society.

anything 40K related
Actually quite funny that they chose Space Marine because one of the universally hated characters in that is your rigidly doctrinaire squad member who refuses to deviate from the words of a 10,000 year old text even when they don't make sense in the current situation.
- Sounds pretty conservative to me. They probably hate that character because they are an obstacle to their own goals, but otherwise they agree with that characters philosophy because they do the same thing regarding real world politics.
- They also have Darktide on there which, as much as I'm loving the game, is basically what this graphic is looking for.
  You are essentially a penal battalion attached to an inquisitor's warband purging heretics like zombies from Left4Dead
I only vaguely remember but Bioshock 2 was kind of trying to both sides by making the antagonist a collectivist or something. Then Bioshock Infinite was both sidesing racism.

They forgot Hogwarts

Rowling is too woke for the conservatives and too conservative for the woke. Everybody is disillusioned with Rowling for different reasons
- You’re exactly right, but they still buy all her shit though.

The Thieve's Guild in that game was too based for them

but you kill Nazis in Sniper Elite and we've all seen that Republicans won't even denounce Nazis, let alone kill them.

This here triggered them so hard but since the previous came out in 2014 it got a pass. What happened between the release of The New Order (2014) and The New Collosus (2016)..? 🤔
I saw an interesting post somewhere recently where they argued that Sniper Elite was not anti Nazi because it specifically promotes stealth and non lethal methods (against Nazis). Couldn't say much for sure myself; I tried playing 4 a little but it didn't grab me at the time.
- I disagree about promoting non-lethal methods. I have all of them except the first one and the slow-mo x-ray camera of my bullets shredding Nazi brains are frequent and graphic.

What sort of fucked up reading of Silent Hill 3 do you have to have to make it a conservative game?

So I just checked the source, and I think this person is serious

Parasite Eve is the funniest one on there.

Mitochondria are definitely fascist.

Did they play Persona 4 and pick the wrong suspect at the end? That game is not sympathetic to their ideology lmao.

As you can see, Doom II isn't on the list because you can shoot Nazis in that game.

Fucking Mega Man Zero as Conserva core, my god this is beyond idiotic and I didn't even give it a good look :data-laughing:

Lmao I love how many of these I've played and yet I'm posting here

Media consumption in the end is kinda pointless for any kind of political goal. Watching a 1930s racist American western (like famously Stalin enjoyed doing) won't make much of a dent in your worldview much like a 1971 agitprop movie from Italy (La Classe Operaia va in Paradiso, good movie - almost impossible to find English subbed unfortunately) is unlikely to turn you into a revolutionary communist. What determines ideology is material conditions for the most part - with some exceptions like say the rare bourgeois person who thinks that embracing socialism is going to be a better future for humanity, as happens on rare occasions.
- wasn't stalin's favorite soviet movie an explicitly anti racist one
I mean most of these are American propaganda pieces, but there are a few games on the list that are explicitly leftist, such as the Metro series. Games are literally based on the author's feelings on post-soviet Russia.

touhou

- Fascists
  inappropriate depictions of children.
  It’s astounding how they never make the connection between calling other people “d words” and the fact it’s almost always one of their own that defends “loli” content.

I would say anyone partaking in anime or video games is a degenerate and completely incompatible with conservative tradlife.

(Edit: I'm pro degenerate btw don't wanna get shit twisted.)

There is no time for games you should be getting wifed up and poping out kids and working 18/hr a day every day except Sunday where you go to church. Video games are the devil after all.

So no, there are no "conservative video games".

Actually, you should play squad but only as the PLA so you can dome imperialists.

my take is all video games are conservative and video games that are about killing people are fascist

Which route do you think conservatives take in Three Houses? And who do they ship?

In my experience after far too many stupid arguments when I was a dumbass, they tend to (though not always) hate Edelgard and prefer either Azure Moon or Silver Snow. Like I once had someone try to tell me that Edelgard wouldn't be as popular if she wasn't a woman. Not knowing that Arvis exists and has plenty of unironic supporters too.
As for ships, I think one of them was into Rhea and the other had trouble picking cuz he liked everyone so he joked about doing a harem. So that kinda says everything you need to know tbh.
Wait I just realised that not liking El and preferring AM is my exact opinion, fuck. Uhhh well my issues with El are because she suffers from FE writing trends (I genuinely kinda think her backstory's tragic elements take a lot away from her overall character, though admittedly this is mostly a vibes-based opinion.) and is a lesser Arvis, so I'm different.
- Makes perfect sense that they dislike the most revolutionary character and the only lord that is a woman. And I can only imagine that they didn't S rank Sothis because they didn't know they could.

Red Alert 1 is essentially anti-communist propaganda. Red Dawn but set in Europe and also an RTS.

half joking
No, it absolutely is conservative. Anime weebery, and the conclusion to most arcs is "actually be what society wants you to be". The epilogue is especially bad for it; everything after you

could have been cut and it would have made for a better game. Persona 3 and 5 are better for different reasons and 1 and 2 IS/EP is what many Persona fans want. It's packaged in old gameplay, so not many people bother.
Also, the Megaten game with the best politics is probably Shin Megami Tensei 2 where the best ending
- I don't even know how to begin emulating the entire Shin Megami Tensei collection. I don't even know what platforms Persona 1 & 2 were on. Idk how old you are, but I feel like younger people were widely introduced to the game through the P3&4 gold ports. P3&4 were some of the biggest games on the PS Vita, and were almost more successful as remasters.
  Japan is honestly fucking creepy. Like pre ww2, they were imperialist as fuck and literally getting military training from the US because they saw what happened in the Philippines and wanted a piece. Then after the nukes got dropped, America pretty much rebuilt the nation in its image. Glad Shinzo Abe got killed.

I wouldn't call Stalker or Metro conservative either

Metro does do the whole both sides thing between stalinists and neo-nazis.
- Metro does, but I think it's more against the cult of personality and dehumanization that comes with illegitimate power structures. The series author has said that the Metro series is based off his emotions living in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the wave of dehumanization that made slavs split against each other and the rise of shitty leaders using the aesthetic of the old world. I may support Russia on the Ukraine invasion, but Putin (and United Russia as a whole) is a powerplayer reactionary who uses a Soviet aesthetic. I think it's supposed to be more anti-putin than anti-stalin.
  The Metro series is about people glorifying a past that isn't achievable in the current environment, and how charismatic but ill equiped people will focus on trying to recreate the past instead of trying to create something new. The games may simplify it a bit, but Metro is a pro Soviet series.

yeah i read theory

Silent Hill 3?!

I need to know the Silent Hill 3 explanation. Like what's the bit or what's the reason, one of the two

I can imagine really dense chuds seeing The Order as being sort of satanic. Its actually a cult that formed based on the land's indigenous people's religion blended with Christianity brought over by settlers.
My 2000s Silent Hill nerd button has been pressed so here's more fun info on the Cult's lore.
- Heather would be called a Mary Sue if Silent Hill 3 released nowadays.
  How woman use katana?
  
  This isn't historically accurate!
  
  Also the cult's plot being thwarted by Heather aborting god's fetus would be seen as unnecessary politics.

For anyone confused just remember that a "conservative gamer" is good ng to be kind of a dumbass and be almost entirely media illiterate.

Everything on here will be there because of

played it when they were a kid and liked it a lot
aesthetics
presence of cultural signifiers

- Yeah a few of these games would be like that I think. Dino Crisis, as mentioned in other comments, is a good example of a game that the chuds would not tolerate in 2023.

My favorite conservative bideo gaems, Parasite Eve and Dino Crisis.

I really want to know the justification for Dino Crisis because its just so random.
- Dinosaurs are liberals
- Idk, I guess it's because the game portray dinosaurs like the ones in Jurrasic Park and not like real dinosaurs. I've heard that some conservatives hate the idea that dinosaurs have feathers and stuff.
  But who knows, the main character isn't even sexualized and, as far as I can remember, she alone saves her squad, which is made up of men.

NOT MY FIRE EMBLEM 3 HOUSES IT BASICALLY HAS A COMMUNIST REVOLUTION TO OVERTHROW THE LANDLORD CLASS

Horror can be reactionary but it cannot be conservative. As a genre, horror is defined by its subversive elements. Remove those from a horror game and all that you're left with is a poorly lit walking simulator.

Yeah. Some zombie fiction is reactionary (there are definitely reactionary elements to The Walking Dead, not my precious beautiful baby boy Telltale game version though!!!!) but I wouldn't call them conservative. Conservatives dont call themselves reactionary though, so you get a conflation. But also Silent Hill 3 and Dino Crisis are both like, actively NOT reactionary or conservative. Also the anti-wokes would hate both if they were released today right like? Heather and Regina would be despised? Not overtly sexualized strong female main characters?
- i heard a comment once that zombie stuff and mad max are neoliberals, the zombies and bandits are allegory to poor people or smth

So lets see, we have:

Literal CIA funded military shooters,

games like Fallout, Space Marine and Bioshock that are satires making fun of conservatives,

Games like Zelda whose story is just an excuse to go dungeon crawling,

Persona 4 checks out though, conservatives love games where they get the option to groom underage girls,

Mega Man?!

Morrowind? I played Morrowind as an Argonian and spent a good chunk of the game freeing slaves and killing slave owners. Not exactly conservative unless you play the most boring character.

Great list of games for sure

I wouldn't say any of them are explicitly conservative though, except for the CIA funded military shooters.
