Not revolutionary enough. Make one where you're a regular rank and file prole who's fighting in the streets and while they never have any epic historical moment that becomes an iconic photo, they still play an important role in the battles.

>>28527>while they never have any epic historical moment that becomes an iconic photo, they still play an important role in the battles.the godfather 1 game from the PS2 era is like this, basically you're a random thug working for the corleone family. you're the one going around intimidating shopkeepers and doing security detail.
also the movie jarhead comes to mind, where the main character is a soldier desperate to see combat, and when he finally does, he doesn't like it.

No.28535
>>28533Cancer is probably too strong a word. I am just bored of them. They are tearjerkers that obviously resonate with a lot of people, but I personally got over it pretty quick. A revolutionary game (imo) should be inspiring instead.
Gameplay wise, I just find them to not have a lot of depth. But not every game has to be hard as balls. Just dying for something new.
No.28536
>>28535Well it's fair enough if you don't like them I guess. They are pretty reliant on emotional jerking it's true.

No.28537
>>28531>Could you describe one of your idpol/culture war side quests?well for example you would have an in-universe version of antisemitism, where people confuse a certain minority as being responsible for what the bourgeoisie do as a class, and you would get people off of that path and onto a more class conscious path.
Or you would tie various reformist anti-oppression struggles like women's liberation or tenant's rights or anti-police brutality struggles in with the main class struggle, while not downplaying their necessity as part of the broader class struggle.

If you think a post like this should be moved away then you have no idea what purpose /leftypol/ nor /siberia/ serve. It's in the fucking title. "Off-Topic". I thought the literacy levels hadn't quite dropped down to the level of not even being able to read the two biggest words on the page. 8 fucking letters. But you did it. You fucked that up and will bitch about it in threads forever more like the segregating ignorant cunt you are.
Grab up an archive site and look into what /leftypol/ has been, what made it rise, and what made it fall. It's biggest moments have been threads like this, people having ideas and exploring them with the board. There's a word for it. Fun. No, you fucking spastic, fun is not off-topic. Fun IS the topic. Fun is why people joined and fun is why people are leaving. Fun is why no-one fucking does anything these days. Raiding: dead. Memes: dead. New Multitude: dead. Getting shoutouts from e-celebs and theorists: dead. Media presense: dead. /pol/eague: dead. Making up stories for fun: dead. Parodying idiots without having to write \s after every sentence: dying.
Gentrification was a mistake. It was a mistake because it made you feel welcome. And it made you feel like you had the reason to tell an actual rare fun post that it wasn't welcome in your homogenous little shitscape.

I like the idea of a shopkeeper or businessman game where youre forced to play as the bourgeoisie and it becomes obviously apparent that youre scamming the workers through taking surplus labor value
That's part 1
In part 2 you are the workers, using what you know to unionize and take over the factory by force.
Part 3 you join up with all the other workers and achieve a workers state after revolution like your op description
Etc all the way to communism. Literally lay it out visually so people understand and never forget the steps and reasons
No.28545
>>28543it could be like GTA V where you have 3 protagonists, a bourgeois officer in the military, a proletarian worker in a factory, and a peasant in the countryside, and you play as each of them, and they interact with each other in the main story, and you decide who survives at the end and who you keep playing as after the main questline is beaten. Basically if you choose the bourgeois guy, you get a Capitalist Restoration, if you choose the prole, you get a proletarian revolution, if you choose the peasant you get total societal breakdown and a revolutionary stalemate leading to a temporary regression in the mode of production.
