Also a procedurally generated Fallujah in the interest of keeping players on their toes is... ugh I don’t have the words. WTF? Why and how would covering this game affect her visa status?

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 You Don’t Have To Run The Exclusive Reveal For The War Crime Game KOTAKU.COM Rebooted war crime simulator Six Days in Fallujah got its official gameplay reveal yesterday in a new trailer that seems to confirm some people’s criticisms of the game as one-sided propaganda for the U.S. war machine. The trailer was debuted exclusively by IGN, the same website that just days earlier ran an in-depth report on the problems surrounding the game and the apparent one-sidedness with which it would make a “playable documentary” out of...

DarkStar189 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I wouldn't even know this game exists if it weren't for all the attention it's been getting in gaming news. My hope is that when it does come out, its some mediocre half assed shooter. And any attention they are receiving quickly dies off within a week. They chose a very controversial topic to base the game around and are now loving all the attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most shrug off criticism of the subject matter, war crimes, civilian casualties, etc and say, looks fun, wait until it's out to say bad things or go the other route saying it's no different from any other game based around a war.

I doubt it's specifically that, it's probably something like there being a ton of latitude with revoking her specific type of visa and criticizing the troops being an easy way to get on the shit list of someone with the power to revoke it.

5timechamp Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 So technically every war game fall into this criticism.... its all propaganda... we dont get insight into any of the many enemies we kill even if it isnt propaganda, the other main argument is that it dehumanizes certain groups.. all games do.. Ign has gone through and expanded on their article going further into the “historical” context of the game....it now takes anything and everything said or mentioned by the developers and fits it to the narrative..”first man in is always right” is now framed to mean that american soldiers are always right to go in and murder everyone..(honestly i always saw it as first man through doorway can go in to left or right and others behind him adjust) Purely speaking as a gamer the only interest the game held for me was the hope that something new was being tried gameplay-wise and that it wouldnt be another game regurgitating the same gameplay.. the idea of a combat game implementing tension and almost veering into horror sounded appealing...as did the idea of procedurally generated environments (replay value).. As always its interesting to see where people decide to argue the virtue and fairness of their entertainment....I wonder when this enlightenment will manifest in other media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
