My favorite conservative bideo gaems, Parasite Eve and Dino Crisis.

I really want to know the justification for Dino Crisis because its just so random.

Dinosaurs are liberals

For anyone confused just remember that a "conservative gamer" is good ng to be kind of a dumbass and be almost entirely media illiterate.

Everything on here will be there because of

  • played it when they were a kid and liked it a lot
  • aesthetics
  • presence of cultural signifiers

played it when they were a kid and liked it a lot aesthetics

If the movie Aliens came out next week, conservative freeze-gamer would be stalking the cast, doxxing them, and declaring cultural holy war because of the Vasquez character alone, Ferro the pilot, and especially Ripley not only singlehandedly saving Hicks' life but also going all the way back into the hive to rescue Newt. They'd see Hicks' getting carried to safety as "cucking" or vaguely emasculating and Jordan Peterson would have hours of sermons against it. up-yours-woke-moralists

Yeah a few of these games would be like that I think. Dino Crisis, as mentioned in other comments, is a good example of a game that the chuds would not tolerate in 2023.

Horror can be reactionary but it cannot be conservative. As a genre, horror is defined by its subversive elements. Remove those from a horror game and all that you're left with is a poorly lit walking simulator.

Yeah. Some zombie fiction is reactionary (there are definitely reactionary elements to The Walking Dead, not my precious beautiful baby boy Telltale game version though!!!!) but I wouldn't call them conservative. Conservatives dont call themselves reactionary though, so you get a conflation. But also Silent Hill 3 and Dino Crisis are both like, actively NOT reactionary or conservative. Also the anti-wokes would hate both if they were released today right like? Heather and Regina would be despised? Not overtly sexualized strong female main characters?

NOT MY FIRE EMBLEM 3 HOUSES IT BASICALLY HAS A COMMUNIST REVOLUTION TO OVERTHROW THE LANDLORD CLASS

So lets see, we have:

Literal CIA funded military shooters,

games like Fallout, Space Marine and Bioshock that are satires making fun of conservatives,

Games like Zelda whose story is just an excuse to go dungeon crawling,

Persona 4 checks out though, conservatives love games where they get the option to groom underage girls,

Mega Man?!

Morrowind? I played Morrowind as an Argonian and spent a good chunk of the game freeing slaves and killing slave owners. Not exactly conservative unless you play the most boring character.
