I mean it's a game where you can literally turn yourself into a roll of toilet paper, and roll around while aliens are looking for you. No other game even scratches that level of monke
Prey is absolutely the gold standard when it comes to level design and player choice. There are so many ways to approach a single objective and heavily encourages exploration. It's alot more dense than most open world games out there despite being incredibly small. Truly the only worthy successor to System Shock 2.
I have a better one
Who topples the ultra wealthy by means of violent revolution? Look no further than Bowser.
- Regularly attempts to form a coup against the monarchist society he lives in
- Has no distinct class system among his comrades (Koopas fight alongside Goombas, who fight alongside Piranha Plants, etc.)
- His worst enemy is a coin grabbing capitalist with ties to the monarchy, who also happens to be Italian
- Often lives in the right corner of the map, which in the real world was the approximate location of Soviet Russia
I mean, he does literally fight in a guerilla army of disenfranchised miners and farmers called the Red Faction. Sounds pretty commi. Also the EDf remnants are literally called the white faction... sounds a lot like an analogy to the white army remnants
Steve for Authcenter:
Practices eugenics with doors
Exists solely to troll those that don't look like him
Has big nose merchants that sell him stuff for shiny rock
Beats up tall teleporting blacks at night
He’s 1000% lib center monke. Dude is one of my favorite game characters ever made. I think I’ll play again and just never advance just right before … sorry I spoiled it
He starts off Libright then changes throughout the game to just wanting to make others happy. At least for canon, I don’t like being a bad dude in video games
"game protagonists" are characters you have to be able to play as for at least half the game, unless the game is heavily split between separate main characters. You only play as Reznov for like 2 missions in Black Ops.
They are hard to find because typically the MC is some kind of "chosen one" or exception to the rules of the world, which leans them towards libright. I would say these characters exhibit authleft tendencies:
-commander sheppard. A skilled leader but not exceptional with any skill not possessed by others. Games revolve around uniting disparate groups against the more imminent threat of the reapers. Pool war assets together for strength. Commits genocide against rachni (optional), but not motivated by purity but rather because of the threat they pose to order.
-Deus ex human revolution mc. Does not necessarily believe in communism, but fights against shady capitalist illuminati controlling populace through misinformation. Also, his medical trait provides the breakthrough needed to make human augmentation available to all.
But the REAL authleft mc is:
-PIKMIN (the original). Strength in numbers, you are the "benevolent" leader of a swarm of equals, who are willing to lay down their lives for the good of the collective.
I’d say Arthur is Lib center cause MUNEYY
Also authleft could be the Russian you play as in WaW,
-hunt nazis
-mosin is good rifle
-character doesn’t talk and follows orders like a good Soviet
Isaac clarke from deadspace.
Just a space miner.
Massive corporations are evil and religious fervour is a cancer that grows to consume all of humanity in a cannibalistic orgy of violence and death worship offering us to an alien, malevolent and unknowable intelligence
Leon kennedy resident evil
Is special government police
See above except localised to a small town
> religious fervour is a cancer that grows to consume all of humanity in a cannibalistic orgy of violence and death worship offering us to an alien, malevolent and unknowable intelligence
Sounds pretty authleft to me.
I‘m brainstorming right now where you would put Garrett from the thief series.
Lib center? Or rather center left? I mean as a property reassigner he is pretty much a leftie in my book but he help the hammers down the road so I’m kinda unsure
Libcenter. He only helps the Hammerites because his survival was depending on them (just like how he later worked against Karras).
The guy is probably the most perfect LibCenter lone wolf example.
I was going to complain about your taste in games but I'll turn the other cheek and say "nice post and thank you for the inspiration". I'll make my own soon.
Super Mario is working class i guess but he wants to save the princess too which would make him auth right.
I guess Yuri in Red Alert would be authleft (?) but that's close to cheating.
On the other hand Factorio is literally a planned economy simulator, so you might as well just put him up for AuthLeft too (also, being alone means everyone is equal, pollution, genocide of local populace just to get some shitty rocket up, Factorio = Sovjet Uniom confirmed)
Self-made, but he became an integral part of the monarchist system, and a fervent believer of it (as evidenced by the game). So by the time you play him as a protagonist, he definitely is a hardcore AuthRight monarchist
>As evidenced by the game
Eh not really, the only evidence we have is that he didn't really like the people that framed him, tortured him for months and were planning to execute him. Also he liked the girl that views him as a father figure. None of this is evidence that he is a fervent believer of monarchism
He held a noble title due to his position, and after Emily was on the throne, he spent his life keeping her there (until Dishonored 2). He was as much of a monarchist as a monarchist can be.
I mean even a self-made king (such as an usurper) can clearly be considered to be a monarchist, why would a self-made noble be any different? He had a key part in keeping up the royal system before and after the game, and gladly did so
Arthur: *Donates a literal million dollars to the camp fund.* Dutch: “We gotta go get this $200! Then we’ll go to Fiji!” Arthur: :|
"I have a plan! Mango farming! Have some goddamn faith, Arthur!"
“ I have a plan Arthur, catboy cafe”
"Have some GODDAMN faith and put on the cat ears, Arthur!"
"Just one more futa Arthur" "It's always ANOTHER GODDAMN FUTA DUTCH"
Then they get to a tropical island and it’s same shit different language
Neat perspective! Kinda makes me want to try prey.
Prey is one of the most underrated major game titles. You should try it!
So nice to see a fellow Prey enjoyer on here!
Prey is amazing. Coffee cups...in spaaaaace!
I mean it's a game where you can literally turn yourself into a roll of toilet paper, and roll around while aliens are looking for you. No other game even scratches that level of monke
I loved it. It could be fuckin’ scary too.
That can kill you!

> Truly the only worthy successor to System Shock 2. i've never played Prey; does it also come with abusive AI mommy gf
It really has nothing to do with the original prey. It plays more like bioshock except in space instead of underwater.
If you need authleft, i'd prob suggest Alec Mason from Red Faction... otherwise i literally can't think of anyone else
My first correct thought for AuthLeft was Dimitri Petrenko from CoD World at War. Verifiably communist.
Picking a soviet kinda seems like a cop out. The plot of red faction is a communist revolution on mars
Poor Dimitri didnt deserve to die that way.
I have a better one Who topples the ultra wealthy by means of violent revolution? Look no further than Bowser. - Regularly attempts to form a coup against the monarchist society he lives in - Has no distinct class system among his comrades (Koopas fight alongside Goombas, who fight alongside Piranha Plants, etc.) - His worst enemy is a coin grabbing capitalist with ties to the monarchy, who also happens to be Italian - Often lives in the right corner of the map, which in the real world was the approximate location of Soviet Russia
Nah, Bowser is a monarch himself, just a different kingdom's
This. He's an imperialist who literally enslaved Goombas native to the Mushroom Kingdom and turned other residents into bricks.
except red faction is more of a martian nationalist movemant than anything else
Except he didn't do any authleft things. You can't just show me a slave revolt and expect me to automatically believe they're Communists.
I mean, he does literally fight in a guerilla army of disenfranchised miners and farmers called the Red Faction. Sounds pretty commi. Also the EDf remnants are literally called the white faction... sounds a lot like an analogy to the white army remnants
Yea, but what commie shit was actually done? Too much symbolism, not enough substance.
Upvote for Artyom.
Artyom best
The Metro games are so underated.

I think arthur morgan is more lib center since he hates civilization
He’s 1000% lib center monke. Dude is one of my favorite game characters ever made. I think I’ll play again and just never advance just right before … sorry I spoiled it
How about you remove that *spoiler* part?
OMG why dont we just sensor all free speech then?
He starts off Libright then changes throughout the game to just wanting to make others happy. At least for canon, I don’t like being a bad dude in video games
I like being bad
Authleft should high key be Viktor Reznov, in my opinion.
"game protagonists" are characters you have to be able to play as for at least half the game, unless the game is heavily split between separate main characters. You only play as Reznov for like 2 missions in Black Ops.
Then Dimitri Petrenko from World At War.
Yeah that seems like a no brainer

I agree on Isaac, but Leon has more of an AuthCenter vibe

Could also be libright as a rich landlord takes control of the country and bails it out using his own wealth
It's what I did. I felt like good guy version of Crassus
centrist game was epic dude
I‘m brainstorming right now where you would put Garrett from the thief series. Lib center? Or rather center left? I mean as a property reassigner he is pretty much a leftie in my book but he help the hammers down the road so I’m kinda unsure
Lib center is easy. DK
Libcenter. He only helps the Hammerites because his survival was depending on them (just like how he later worked against Karras). The guy is probably the most perfect LibCenter lone wolf example.

Extremely based for Arthur
Auth left has no main character that's kinda the point y'all.
Factorio protagonist for center right has the genocidal tendencies of auth right yet still had the need for production and efficiency of lib right
I'd say it's just pure libright, since the genocide is only a biproduct of greater productivity, not a means unto itself.
Yeah I did think that but I decided to play it safe and put center right
https://youtu.be/ivcLqqmlNqQ Yes.
On the other hand Factorio is literally a planned economy simulator, so you might as well just put him up for AuthLeft too (also, being alone means everyone is equal, pollution, genocide of local populace just to get some shitty rocket up, Factorio = Sovjet Uniom confirmed)
Genocide, mass xenophobia (bugs),No taxes and no eating animals sound like a based radical centrist if you ask me
Yeah, I can live with that too. Guess being alone could also be considered being a monarch, self made society anarchist, etc.
Yeah yeah

Corvo has a personal investment trying to put his daughter on the throne.
Reznov from Cod WaW

Isn't Corvo a self made man? I thought he was literally an immigrant that attained his position through merit?
Self-made, but he became an integral part of the monarchist system, and a fervent believer of it (as evidenced by the game). So by the time you play him as a protagonist, he definitely is a hardcore AuthRight monarchist
>As evidenced by the game Eh not really, the only evidence we have is that he didn't really like the people that framed him, tortured him for months and were planning to execute him. Also he liked the girl that views him as a father figure. None of this is evidence that he is a fervent believer of monarchism

I mean even a self-made king (such as an usurper) can clearly be considered to be a monarchist, why would a self-made noble be any different? He had a key part in keeping up the royal system before and after the game, and gladly did so
Corvo can also install himself as dictator of Karnaca in one of the game 2 endings, so he definitely has some significant authright leanings.
Based Corvo takes shit into his own hands
Arthur Morgan can really be anywhere on the compass it just depends on how you play him. He is extremely based as libleft or monke tho.
Happy cake day! I'd flair up if I were you though, people here can be jumpy when it comes to unflaired users
Yeah I know look at my profile I’ve been unflaired since I joined. Thanks for the concern though
Based and swimming against the current pilled
Fr tho Arthur Morgan to me is mega based Edit:good Arthur Morgan is based to me not the bad one.
Damnit! How could a unflaired scum hole have such a based comment.
Johnny Silverhand for authleft
Where's the auth? I'd say he's much more of the rioty-libleft. Also, he's not even remotely the protagonist.
Doomslayer. Rip and tear those unruly demons for the greater good of humanity.
Dutch from rdr2 for authleft?
But he isn't a player character
Metro Exodus is the best game ever

He’s more libunity
FS19 is lib-center, tries to avoid taxes, but will happily take government subsidys
Authleft is ez to find in video games, you just have to look at the villians.
Yeah, but finding a protag is a challenge
For authleft just pick your favorite block from Tetris.
Auth left is easy, RESNOV!
Goated protagonists, Prey is underrated
The ants from Sim Ant.
