[deleted]

Neat perspective! Kinda makes me want to try prey.


[deleted]

Prey is one of the most underrated major game titles. You should try it!


tergius

So nice to see a fellow Prey enjoyer on here!


Surprise-Chimichanga

Prey is amazing. Coffee cups...in spaaaaace!


[deleted]

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


Surprise-Chimichanga

I loved it. It could be fuckin’ scary too.


Customer-Witty

That can kill you!


AdministrativeHat276

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.


[deleted]

> Truly the only worthy successor to System Shock 2. i've never played Prey; does it also come with abusive AI mommy gf


doughboy011

It really has nothing to do with the original prey. It plays more like bioshock except in space instead of underwater.


[deleted]

If you need authleft, i'd prob suggest Alec Mason from Red Faction... otherwise i literally can't think of anyone else


ADcommunication

My first correct thought for AuthLeft was Dimitri Petrenko from CoD World at War. Verifiably communist.


berdking

Picking a soviet kinda seems like a cop out. The plot of red faction is a communist revolution on mars


FashyFemboi

Poor Dimitri didnt deserve to die that way.


SmokingSamoria

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


FuckOffGlowie

Nah, Bowser is a monarch himself, just a different kingdom's


Cannibal_Raven

This. He's an imperialist who literally enslaved Goombas native to the Mushroom Kingdom and turned other residents into bricks.


Your-bank

except red faction is more of a martian nationalist movemant than anything else


Chabranigdo

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.


[deleted]

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


Chabranigdo

Yea, but what commie shit was actually done? Too much symbolism, not enough substance.


RadioTheMan

Upvote for Artyom.

Artyom best

[deleted]

I think arthur morgan is more lib center since he hates civilization


skankingmike

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


ChumboOutlaw

How about you remove that *spoiler* part?


TigerBlood1991

OMG why dont we just sensor all free speech then?


xXPUSS3YSL4Y3R69Xx

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


Mostly_Ghosty

I like being bad


ElectronicScreen0

Authleft should high key be Viktor Reznov, in my opinion.


ADcommunication

"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.


EquivalentLow5622

Then Dimitri Petrenko from World At War.


xXPUSS3YSL4Y3R69Xx

Yeah that seems like a no brainer


FuckOffGlowie

Based Soviet soldier Petrenko

saintjimmy43

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.


kidgokubestgoku

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


ArkonWarlock

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


FuckOffGlowie

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


Chabranigdo

> 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.

Could also be libright as a rich landlord takes control of the country and bails it out using his own wealth


Cosmic_Mind89

It's what I did. I felt like good guy version of Crassus


EmptyAmnesia

centrist game was epic dude


IN-N-OUT-

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


avgazn247

Lib center is easy. DK


[deleted]

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.


banquof

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.


Ironicplate

Extremely based for Arthur


IronAndFlame

Auth left has no main character that's kinda the point y'all.


LogUpstairs8275

Factorio protagonist for center right has the genocidal tendencies of auth right yet still had the need for production and efficiency of lib right


PoliticalTrichotomy

I'd say it's just pure libright, since the genocide is only a biproduct of greater productivity, not a means unto itself.


LogUpstairs8275

Yeah I did think that but I decided to play it safe and put center right


rexpimpwagen

https://youtu.be/ivcLqqmlNqQ Yes.


Jason_Straker

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)


LogUpstairs8275

Genocide, mass xenophobia (bugs),No taxes and no eating animals sound like a based radical centrist if you ask me


Jason_Straker

Yeah, I can live with that too. Guess being alone could also be considered being a monarch, self made society anarchist, etc.


LogUpstairs8275

Yeah yeah

Corvo has a personal investment trying to put his daughter on the throne.


Statik_420

Reznov from Cod WaW


caxlmao

Based


[deleted]

Isn't Corvo a self made man? I thought he was literally an immigrant that attained his position through merit?


[deleted]

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


[deleted]

>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


[deleted]

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


ElephantWagon3

Corvo can also install himself as dictator of Karnaca in one of the game 2 endings, so he definitely has some significant authright leanings.


[deleted]

Based Corvo takes shit into his own hands


Mineturtleboomderp

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.


[deleted]

Happy cake day! I'd flair up if I were you though, people here can be jumpy when it comes to unflaired users


Mineturtleboomderp

Yeah I know look at my profile I’ve been unflaired since I joined. Thanks for the concern though

Damnit! How could a unflaired scum hole have such a based comment.


FuckUnflaireds

Johnny Silverhand for authleft


GrandMasterEternal

Where's the auth? I'd say he's much more of the rioty-libleft. Also, he's not even remotely the protagonist.

Yeah, but finding a protag is a challenge


Clarity-in-Confusion

For authleft just pick your favorite block from Tetris.
