No, but in almost all cases its never the case. I can only think of spiderman where the story was dogshit and side quests were awful but the gameplay was fun
political correctness != wokeness
for example, making a game about killing white people for reparations wouldn't be politically correct but it would be woke
I played through the MGS series recently for the first time and I was shocked at how "woke" those games are yet its still popular on Ganker. It's anti-war, pro-socialism, anti-capitalist, etc. at every fricking turn. Did people just not understand what he was talking about? There's literally a segment in Peace Walker where Kojima just sucks off Che Guevara for 20 minutes, it is so in your face.
>implying Ganker paid attention to the cutscenes
Also Kojima is Japanese so people give him a pass even though he's been putting LGBT shit in his games since 2001.
While that is true, pw and v also has you run a private millitia for hire completely separated from any government/regulations which is unabashedly libertarian. Big Boss and Outer Heaven end up being villains but there's still a very apparent idealism to msf/diamond dogs.
It depends. If it's really in-your-face shit like Wolfenstein, then yeah, I won't play that shit. If it's just "here's a cast of zoomer mutts and btw half of them are queerosexual" (Overwatch and Apex come to mind), I can tolerate it.
Preaching homosexuals are incapable of making something interesting
If there's the case a game like that exist I would play it and skip cutscenes and dialogue
It comes in tiers >Character creation options, foppish characters like BG3 Astarion
Don't care, might even like them if done well >Zoomer hair on random npcs in the world, overly homosexual-y characters who aren't played off as jokes (the gay duo in God Hand is fine but the circus leader in BG3 is awful)
Distracting and detracting, but if the game is good enough I'll look past >Main character designs lifted straight from tumblr
Will ignore because the game will obviously be more interested in spouting woke politics than being cool or fun
Yep. Haven't played nor touched Celeste, Stardew Valley, Hat in Time, death stranding/MGS, CoD, apex, nu-doom, BG3, pathfinder, MK11, SF6, etc because of it.
There's a scale for me. The more woke a game is, the better it has to be for me to play it. If it's straight up propaganda it better be the best game of all time, a couple of blacks and gays kissing I don't care even if it's a 7/10. The fact it's a 7/10 is the bigger concern there.
Basically, if it's a game first and the woke shit was added later then I'm probably okay with it. If it's a vessel to spread propaganda first, the game itself is probably going to suck and I won't play it. So if your story is super woke, frick off. If you're just showing me some blacks and gays, it's whatever and if you're making me play as a black lady she better be extra sassy.
I don't think I've ever even noticed a game being woke. I've played RDR2 though, and apparently people think it's woke, so maybe my woke radar is broken.. or maybe the Ganker worms haven't proliferated in my brain yet
HI-FI Rush has a lot of inclusion, but the game is fun
Gears 5 multiplayer is also fun, it's the same of every GoW game, and the same with Halo MCC
both games have flags and emblems with lgbt stuff and shit
"Woke" is mostly just used as an excuse by console warriors and marketers to easily write off other games. Just a convenient way to nitpick a game by posting a screenshot of a black person from it or something from 1 scene or 1 line of dialogue from the game.
There are some exceptions like the new Saints Row though. Now that is woke and it ruined an entire franchise.
yeah. I have never played any game that I know supports ideologies I do not support. Knowingly, obviously.
No, although preachy games of any variety are typically not fun
I haven't played a new game or watched an anime in ages because I refuse to waste my time with LGBT shit
No, Unsighted was one of my favourite recent games and that game would make Ganker have an aneurysm.
yes, my values are more important to me than consuming media
No, but in almost all cases its never the case. I can only think of spiderman where the story was dogshit and side quests were awful but the gameplay was fun
Both Xbox, Nintendo and Sony are all funded by black rock and follow ESG rules. By buying any game console you're support political correctness

woke games dont have good gameplay
I can tolerate a little bit of wokeness here and there but if it goes overboard I will refuse to plat no matter how good the gameplay is
A game being woke literally makes the game unfun for me regardless of any other factors.
Yep. Haven't played nor touched Celeste, Stardew Valley, Hat in Time, death stranding/MGS, CoD, apex, nu-doom, BG3, pathfinder, MK11, SF6, etc because of it.
>death stranding/MGS
>nu-doom
What is the problem between those, I understand it for doom eternal, but also doom 2016?
No. But find me a woke game that actually has good gameplay. Most of them are just visual novels or cutscene driven games trying to push a message.
Name 3 "woke" games that's actually fun.
There's a scale for me. The more woke a game is, the better it has to be for me to play it. If it's straight up propaganda it better be the best game of all time, a couple of blacks and gays kissing I don't care even if it's a 7/10. The fact it's a 7/10 is the bigger concern there.

>the no fun allowed cultists aren't able to make fun games
Shock of the world.

Any poison that entices you into continuing to put it within your body should be banned.

The thing is, if a game has woke in it then Ganker will go to any length to deny any value it has otherwise because they're that butthurt.

Woke games are not fun.
I dropped nier automata after it started shoving gay shit in my face. And no, it doesn't get a pass because it's japanese
Wouldn’t know, woke devs don’t know how to make anything fun, they just know how to talk about their politics.
Not really but it depends how heavy handed it is
