My pick would be this one.
>spend half the game killing transphobes
>"If your mom doesn't support your transition, kill her"
>women are girlbosses, men need to be rescued
>cheating on your pregnant gf is okay if you feel good
>literal "My wife's son" chapter
>just ugly and gross for the sake of it
>Judaism lecture
>woman writer
It's got it all.

Dustborn is THE woke game. It is both a culmination of every vile philosophy the culture warriors believe in both in ideology and design, demonstrates their tactics, and is just fucking awful.

>>724885368 (OP)
It's gotta be Dustborn, that game looks like parody but it's played totally straight.
Reminds me of this article.

Even in their explanations on why they should stop being passive aggressive condescending patronizing fuckwits they still act like passive aggressive condescending patronizing fuckwits. What causes this?

How would I know? The woke era is not over yet. Arc Raiders just came out and did 300k peak.

Intergalactic could be nothing in comparison to what comes after.

>just ugly and gross for the sake of it
Ugly and gross because the authors feel the same about themselves and need to vent through the game despite how unprofessional that is

>>724885368 (OP)
Concord.

But the protagonist is a cute white girl who falls in love and marries a man at the end. How is it woke?

TLOU2 is a titan of woke gaming, BG3 too.
Disco Elysium and Hades are the indie lords of wokeness.

It happened to me.

Are you stupid? The entire second half of the game.

>>724890070

>>724885926
so fucking funny that even places like resetera said it was too on the nose, and people thought it was a rightwing snub until others started pointing out ragnar's older posts and games.

she got fired because neil cuckmann wanted to enforce his LGBTQ+ story because people loving joel despite him making a morally questionable decision by saving ellie made neil seethe so hard that he felt obligated to tank the entire franchise, alienate the entire fandom and even threaten naughty dog's future just to get his revenge at all the dullards who don't share his leftist moralfagging hybris attitude.

no doubt neil was 1000% certain that people would end up liking the tranny duo meant to copy and replace joel & ellie from the first game.

>>724899778
fucking hilarious that hennig got pushed out right around the time they released the DLC to 1 because she disagreed with the leads. I think even a year or two ago her only official comment on why she left was "creative differences".

>>724899778
for tlou2 drucc hired someone with "connections" at HBO to co-write. she then used those "connections" to pitch that same story back at HBO

Concord for the flop.
Veilguard for the hubris.
Dustborn for the openly cringe anti-fa simulator.
BG3 for the amount of references in memes and pics.

Lots of honorable mentions but those are the big ones. TLOU2 would be moderately forgotten if it weren't for Druckmann being mentioned all the time due to his next game coming out plus other happenings like TLOU TV show.

>>724885368 (OP)
TLOU2 is excessively woke, but it's also really fucking good. It's in the top handful of best games ever made.

>It's in the top handful of best games ever made.
I don't think it's horrible, but you should try playing more games.

People understate how badly this era is going to age, I bet ten-fifteen years from now people will go "what was up with everything from 2017-2025 being complete shit". They will call it the Lost Generation of gaming and today's modern "classics" will hardly be a footnote in gaming dicussion or culture.

bruce straley is "woke" but hes a good director, its just neil that fucked up tlou

>the dude is 55
He was probably in his 30s when he first went on the internet, yet made a game so focused on 2010's internet culture war talking points that even the people who parrot them thought it was parody. That doesn't sit right with me for some reason.

>>724904295
>He was probably in his 30s when he first went on the internet
I think there's zero chance of that honestly.
I remember enjoying some of his early games quite a bit for what they were, but it got significantly worse in the last decade to the point of being sarcasm, except it's not.

Yikes

Trump is responsible for this

>>724888601
>Solution for Democrats is to just throw specific minority groups under the bus and talk like Republicans
Why should any other minority group read this and go "they'll stop at those pesky homos?"

>>724906912
Because minorities hate fags too.

>>724906993
Again, why should any minority group trust any party this quick to throw people they "care" about under the bus? They did it to them and could just as easily do it to you.

>>724888601
Lmao this looks like a parody

>>724907090
The other minorities see themselves on the side of the ones throwing the fags down the well.
They don't think "hey I'm a minority too! Just like those fags! I'm in danger!"
They feel no commonality with the fags and are happy that for once they get to be part of the majority.

Dustborn quite literally was made to be that. It distills every single woke idea into one godforsaken game that it borders on satire, down to the actual wish fulfillment of being able to manipulate people's opinions to suit your own. Its very nucleus as a game is woke.

>>724902732
ugh.
cuckmann seems eager to use his position in naughty dog to network with celebrities or industriy insiders a lot. one TLoU2 character is apparently modeled after some rapper; the guy with fat Geralt iirc. then you have his next weird prophet in space game tossing brand names around like adidas and porsche. you bet he made some friends with the marketing departments of those companies, too.

neil cuckmann must be the most vile little ass-kissing rat i've ever heard of. or maybe he just wants to get out of the gaming industry that badly and will just suck up to anyone who will listen to him. hollywood rejected him and his ego never recovered.

>>724885368 (OP)
This game because it showed left's hypocrisy.
>You can kill civilians all day everyday in GTA, Saints Row and other gangbang simulators, you can do brootal finishers in Mortal Kombat in a fighting game including against women.
>Polish violence enjoyers make a game.
>Everyone freaks the fuck out because you target civilians on purpose even though your main enemies pretty much become cops and civilians are just hit point bags.
I'm so fucking tired of woketards.

So awful it ruined this site.

>>724907692
It was about the person behind the game that it was about the game itself.

he originally wanted to write comics but his comics were so bad that his artist co-wrote them. he has extreme delusions of grandeur despite a complete lack of skill.
nepotism is a powerful force.

hennig was sacked because uncharted 4 was in dev hell. She had nothing to do with tlou at all retard

>>724907663
How people thought this shit wasn't satire is beyond me.
