The "Timorous Deep" zone from Everquest 2's expansion "Rise of Kunark" is a blatantly obvious commentary on the Israel-Palestine conflict. So obvious that I am astounded that it get published.

I'd also like to note that Fallout: New Vegas is a pretty sophisticated game about political ideology, where the main bad guy even teaches you about Hegelian dialectics. It's even possible to completely negate the theses of the main three powers by just giving the people the power to rule themselves.

i'm one of the like 30 people that bought it but Phantom Doctrine is a spy-fi xcom-ish game set in the 1980s and you can play as a KGB agent and recruit all sorts of psychos from the stasi, op gladio, savak etc to do hella intelligence agency crimes all over the world. not a bad game but is lolworthy overpriced at $40. grab it on sale, maybe

ive been working on a game that i think is pretty cspam its vaguely based on xcom apocalypse but focused solely on the 'political simulation' part that was mostly dropped from that game. the basic idea is that a utopian communist city state after the climate apocalypse is being infiltrated by capitalist aliens. you play a leader in a covert organization devoted to revealing and defeating the aliens. the gameplay revolves around manipulating political and social relations between citizens to your advantage. like, in order to get weapons youd need to convince or manipulate someone inside the military into giving them. your org needs to remain covert, at least in the early stages, because the aliens have infiltrated people and organizations throughout the city the early and mid game would involve infiltrating orgs and trying to convince people in positions of power of the threat while not being exposed. youd be able to send agents on sabotage and spying missions or straight up paramilitary raids. part of the challenge would be doing what you have to without causing the society to regress from communism some other ideas:
i know a lot of this sounds meme-y but im mostly focused on the political simulation. i hope to make it deep enough to create a realistic 'artificial society' that will be fun to mess with

you can actually make a loving functional democratic socialist worker's state in tropico 1 make a big industry that makes a poo poo ton of money, like a ton of rum distilleries or gold/jewelry factories or something. then pour all that money into high rear end wages for everyone on the island. as long as you pay like 2-3x the "carribbean average wage" for every job the people vote you back into office over and over

unfortunately i dont have a way to play mgs1 but im replaying mgs2 for the first time since the aughts and its woke as hell and way ahead of its time. ive never played snake eater start to finish but im gonna do that next. the games are surprisingly explicitly condemnatory of american militarism and the defense industry for blockbuster first party titles.

Uncle Wemus posted:how could you make something like harvest moon/stardew valley but communist you could make a game about communist pioneers founding a new city. a 'central planning bureau' off screen in the capital would set quotas for certain goods. the players have to cooperate to develop the land in order to meet the quota. as the town grows new citizen npcs would be sent that provide new services and perform tedious tasks. the players democratically decide how to allocate surplus goods. do you use the extra materials to build another mine or a factory? the early game involves building small shacks and plowing fields. near the end youre helping manage a small city focused around a few industries the challenge would come from natural disasters, each player wanting different things, and the capital demanding more and more in order to fight off the fascists. Ora Tzo posted:Sounds like a sci fi version of the fantasy evil subversion game people have been attempting to make. That which sleeps, infiltration and shadows behind the throne. that which sleeps seems pretty close to what im aiming for. i hope to model the society and production in enough detail that the city adapts to crises reasonably. like, the aliens sabotage food production and rationing is enforced. this leads to street violence and factionalism until theyre able to develop new sources.

hosed up that there is zero mention of Shadow President anywhere in these past two pages, which allows you to simulate the true goal of Marxism-Leninism: the nuclear obliteration of Israel.

It’s been too long since I played it to be specific, but The Surge is a relevant CSPAM game in light of Amazon seeking to conquer the world. It takes place in a resource-scarce future where Not Amazon control everything from household products to a cutting-edge research project that they believe will save the planet. This doesn’t work out for reasons I won’t go into and you explore the trendy headquarters where demented cyborg workers — the victims of the project’s failure — stalk the offices and warehouses in murderous rage. What it’s really good at is presenting an eerie endpoint to the ways major companies pervade the lives of workers. Why not sleep at work? Why not take a vacation at our very own Not Amazon theme park? Why not have mechanical limbs attached to your body to improve efficiency? The madness of the workers is explained by a simple plot device, but in a metaphorical sense it’s also a sort of mass case of going postal in face of horrible business practices. It’s also a good take on Dark Souls gameplay. Much better than Lords of the Fallen.

It's even possible to completely negate the theses of the main three powers by just giving the people the power to rule themselves. New Vegas is pretty much the definition of "making the best of things," not only in terms of story and background but also gameplay and mechanics considering the Fallout 3 architecture they were building on. No accident it's the best of the modern Fallouts by a considerable margin. Also, Old World Blues is still one of the best dark farces of all time

FF7 owns because you start the game playing as a group of dirt-poor environmentalist revolutionaries fighting to tear down an evil, omnipotent corporation, and the game always presents you as in the right for this up to the very end. The main villains of the game are all representative of the excesses of liberalism, being a scientist with no ethics or respect for human life, who obviously is inspired by concentration camp doctors, a soldier who has been raised from birth on master race ideology, and a shapeshifting space alien who lives only to consume. All are ultimately defeated when the entire planet, not just the protagonists, unites against them. cid is an abusive boyfriend, yuffie is literal royalty, barret goes on to be an oil corporation executive in advent children
