Were it released in 2018...

Were it released in 2018, Sup Forums would deride Half-Life 2 for "forcing" an "SJW-pandering" Alyx Vance and for having the player kill the Nazi stand-ins.
They would refuse to play it and miss out on one of the greatest games of all time.

Correct. From 2014 onwards, after the fappening and the faGGotry combined, nu-Sup Forumstards (Or I guess I should just call them "Sup Forumstards", because they are the new status quo of that poor board) always bitch about "forced diversity".
What is "forced diversity"? Simple. Every single game with a black person in it is "forced diversity", unless
A) It was released before Sup Forumstards started contaminating this board (GTA: San Andreas which would be shitposted mercilessly if it came out today)
B) It's an Eastern game (It's okay when Japan does it)
It's that simple. They always have some excuse as to why this one video game in particular that they're currently bitching about is "forced diversity", either it's because the black person is too stereotypical or too unrealistic. Whatever excuse lets them spam "WE" memes in video game threads works. But they're not the problem. They're just a boogeyman. Remember that. Remember that when they start arguing endlessly about off-topic shit like how niggers are inferior or trannies are mentally ill or refugees are rapists or some other shit like that. They're just a boogeyman. Those off-topic posts you're seeing shitting up this board aren't real.

HL2 sucks, though.

Sup Forumstards BTFO

>nu-Sup Forumstards (Or I guess I should just call them "Sup Forumstards", because they are the new status quo of that poor board)
Like all stupid backward-looking grumblings, this pasta seems to treat "old Sup Forums" as something worth persevering, or even substantially different from "new Sup Forums".

>"forcing" an "SJW-pandering" Alyx Vance

Wrong.
Alyx Vance is pure marketing, she's likeable and fun, competent because she needs to be, as a companion NPC, and ethnically "diverse" only insofar as she is not unappealing to any one demographic. She's the bald space marine of sidekicks and nobody thinks different, or would think different if the game were released today.

>Every single game with a black person in it is "forced diversity",

Not even close. Nobody cared about a Black protag in AC Liberation because it was setting-appropriate. The WE shitposting about Origins wasn't even a complaint, it was just a popular meme at the time, and it basically fit because Black guy in Egypt.

Fact is there's a problem with forced diversity. When they start putting Whites into Resident Evil 5 it's clearly not an artistic choice, they're worried about being called "raycis". When people moan about William in Nioh, despite him being based on a real guy, they're demanding forced diversity.

>They're just a boogeyman. Remember that. Remember that when they start arguing endlessly about off-topic shit like how niggers are inferior or trannies are mentally ill or refugees are rapists or some other shit like that. They're just a boogeyman. Those off-topic posts you're seeing shitting up this board aren't real.

You can pretend all you like that people who disagree with you are irrational, but that doesn't stop it being a bogeyman. I see porn getting dumped, I ssee BLACKED shit on here, but I don't see Pol in a thread until some asshurt cuck takes a joke the wrong way and summons them.

PS:
Blacks are generally intellectually inferior, trannies are mentally ill, and refugees are disproportionately rapists. I'm glad these facts trigger you.

That's just wrong. I would like to fuck Alyx though

Pick one

don't think so, bub

It's okay when 2004 does it.

Don't forget
>all cops are fat corrupt incompetent racists

Literally everyone is a piece of shit in GTA

Never gave a shit about the story tbqh. I just blew shit up. Need to replay now.

Sup Forums is nothing like it used to be 5 years ago.

I don't know, looks equally stupid to me.

Old Sup Forums was completely inoffensive, it was its own thing and kept to itself. So, yes, I'd like to preserve it if it meant not having to deal with nu-Sup Forums.

>You will never be this misinformed and retarded

AC Liberation came out before gamergate existed and Sup Forums became popular.

You see what you want to see you've made that evident. Stay on Sup Forums with all the other shitters too dumb to play games

>Nazi stand-ins.

lolwut?
Transhumans serving the will of an alien empire that's made up of the remains of whatever species they conquer and enslave, literally named the COMBINE, as in a combination of many different things, is somehow analogous to a fascist regime that preached about the superiority of their imaginary Aryan race.

Ok, I guess you could maybe make the argument that the Combine are out conquering to procure themselves some additional lebensraum, but given the strip-mining treatment they're giving the earth I don't think they actually want to live here, so even that's stretching the comparison pretty far.

Yep. Thank god SA wasn't released today.

>AC Liberation
Released in 2012, 2 years before 2014. The post you're quoting continues to be correct.

You're right, I will never be as misinformed and retarded as you.

>AC Liberation came out before gamergate existed and Sup Forums became popular.

So what, people complained about this shit before Sup Forums was a thing. Politics has been an issue in games since long before you got out of diapers and your mummy let you on the internet.

>You see what you want to see you've made that evident.

We're reaching levels of psychological projection that shouldn't even be possible.

>Old Sup Forums was completely inoffensive
What the fuck?

>Nobody complained about forced diversity before the summer I started browsing Sup Forums.

FTFY.

>SJWs are not coming for your games, I swear
And that's a good thing!

I know right? It's almost as if the OP is underage or something.

This thread is propably the longest AC liberation discussion ever happened.

but i hated Alyx back then, nothing but an unsufferable annoying bitch

but that’s true though my guy

Ehh, I () am the OP.

The difference is old Sup Forums was satire, while nu-Sup Forums is completely serious.

Old Sup Forums was just as racist, but they were like thousand times more objective in their observations, than the retarded memeconservatives and le donald magapedes occupying the board now. Sup Forums is biggest cancer on Sup Forums right now, has been for over a year.

Pretty sure the "Sup Forums is satire" was a means to prevent any serious action against them. They have been active with politics since idfk when, they even shilled for McCain and Mittens. Let's not forget Ron Paul.

>nu/pol/
>as if old Sup Forums was different

Old Sup Forums was benign and didn't raid Sup Forums on a mass scale. Sup Forums was the problem back then. Now it's Sup Forums.
Who the fuck knows, perhaps that will change soon.

If a kike faggot who'd suck dicks for money instead of pleasure if it weren't for muh esjayvees said it, it must be true

> It's the "Sup Forums doesn't like women in games" argument again

Alyx isn't in your face the entire game about girl power, how she don't need no man, and how much pussy she's been in. If Half Life 2 were made today that would almost certainly happen.

>nazi stand-ins
they're commie stand-ins

HL2 has always been shit. Just admit you paid $50 for a physics puzzler with garbage vehicles segments.

There's a difference between having characters of different ethnicities and "Diversity"

That's just bullshit.
The real difference is that "new" Sup Forums (re)discovered actual participatory activism a la Anonymous.
In content, both are virtually identically retarded, albeit "new" Sup Forums has more unfunny reddit memes.

>but they were like thousand times more objective in their observations
I don't have a reaction image laughing enough.

>Sup Forums is biggest cancer on Sup Forums right now, has been for over a year.

Sup Forums seeks the truth in a world of lies. Not surprising that people think they're cancer.

>If Half Life 2 were made today that would almost certainly happen
Translation: If it were made today, my feefees would be hurt

Sup Forums was the same in spirit back then, there were simply fewer of them, and the idea that Sup Forums was always a far right bastion wasn't as pervasive

That's a poetic way to put it

So, in other words, Sup Forums is worse now. Which is what I said. What a boring and pointless semantics debate.

I said it a decade ago, and I'll say it now. HL2 is a shitty game that forced the trend of linear games and although we didn't call them that in 08, "cinematic games"

HL1 is a much better game. Fucking around with physics while story you don't give a shit about drones on was fun back then, but any game nowadays doing that would be laughed at.
