The political themes of FF7 are pretty basic stuff to begin with and then are largely forgotten as soon as Sephiroth shows up. But what was there was servicable.

MGS was good. Was grimmly amusing when SOPA and the BP Oil Spill happened in the same year and everyone was memeing about the "Sons of the Patriots Act" >___>

There's games 'with' politics as the story then there's games influenced by current real life politics.

Depends. I dont mind politics being part of the story, but Id rather it not be straight out of modern day politics. I play video games to escape the world, not be reminded of it.

FF7 didn't have much politics. It was more about an energy company who cared more about power and control than anything else and eco-terrorists trying to stop them.

Politics if it serves to further the games plot. Not if its a forced personal narrative.

That's straight up capitalism. I thought you meant government politics.

You don't think capitalism and government politics have any connection to one another?

I forget people often think private greedy corporations and a public government entities are one and the same. In this case you are right. Carry on.
