No it isn't, its about several giant, empty flat maps made just for snipers and vehicles. I don't recall it even having anything to do with china. Oh, I'm sure that's where it's supposed to be, but honestly it could be almost anywhere it's so ambiguous and lazily designed.
Lol yea America is sooooooo evil soooo terrible, I guess we should have let the world fall under the treads of Nazi Germany and Japan during WWII. Look at all that evil $37 Billion we give out in foreign aid each year, maybe we should just end it all because its all clearly blood money. Perhaps we should end all our trade agreements with many countries as well because clearly the more moral world wouldn't want to be involved with such an evil country.Fireprufe15 said:
That reminds me of an Extra Credits episode, James show a patriotic American "America's Army" which he obviously endorsed and said everyone should play, but when shown a game where the roles were reversed (another nation as the good guys and America as bad) his tune changed to wanting to have it censored/banned. The US republicans made a big fuss with Medal of Honor (2010) and that was only due to the enemies being playable Taliban, god help any game that has a campaign from their side.Waaghpowa said:
Firstly, that was 70 years ago, and secondly, the US wasn't too concerned about the expansion of Germany and Japan until they declared war on it.Coreless said:
You are not familiar with the American right-wing are you?karloss01 said:Hey China, grow a pair! Russia has been the villain punching bag for a while now and to an extent us British as well. we wouldn't be bitching if you made a game where the US goes ape shit and invades the world and you come and save the day; we'd only care if it was crap.
But it's not Xenophobic. They're not saying "all of China is bad hurr durr." The bad guy is a ROGUE Chinese General. He has nothing to do with China as a whole. Maybe play the story or at least read the plot synopsis before you make these wild claims?ClockworkUniverse said:
But it's still a rogue Chinese general. It could never happen to an American general.Kenbo Slice said:
It wouldn't sell very well, that's what would happen.kasperbbs said:
Actually America's Army is a recruiting tool and you're never playing the Arabs(It was arabs I think.), the other games are mostly neutral though.amaranth_dru said:
Er... Spec Ops the line did fine, the latest Splinter Cell has US-sanctioned intelligence agents constantly breaking international laws, geneva convention included, torturing prisioners for quick intel and even breaking into Guantanamo to steal intelligence from the US itself. GTA paints highly corrupt US government officials as a common thing, the aforementioned Fallout has the remnants of the US government trying to kill every single survivor so they can repopulate the US with pure rad free "civilized" individuals and on that note Marvel comics has been painting the US government in a specially bad light for about a decade now, all of these are doing perfectly fine and there's no sign of censorship at all. There's a few idiots complaining about violence but that's a different issue altogether.Waaghpowa said:
You know, when you say stuff like "Military macho jerk off material" in reference to CoD, you're kind of insulting EVERYONE who plays CoD. I mean... you realize that, right?Sseth said:
Okay, that actaully is somewhat better, and that's my mistake. In that case, the game's plot is at the very least less problematic than I thought. However, I still feel justified in my more general concerns regarding xenophobia in modern military games, when we're getting stuff like the COD game about how all of South America suddenly turns into an evil hivemind because reasons.Kenbo Slice said:
Sure is fun to pretend people who disagree with you are saying completely stupid things so you can just dismiss them. Much easier than actually reading and thinking.Res Plus said:
