Every Call of Duty except World at War.
I remember playing Company of Heroes 2 and realizing how they portray the Soviets as worse than the Nazi Germans though the Nazi Germans in the cutscenes had POA patches. Treating the Soviet commanders as unsympathetic who treat their own soldiers as cannon fodder, backstabbers to allies and so on. Putting in Soviet “atrocities” in text on the load screens. Its greatly disgusting…
Wait till you try the “Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism”, game which have super based animated steam avatars with Stalin, Molotov, Zhukov, Rokossovky, etc.
Just intro made me uninstall.
The Metro games (based on the books by lib author Dmitry Glukhovsky, a pro-Ukraine Navalny supporter).
Glukhovsky books are heavily promoted in Poland, that made me not want to read them, since it’s always sus when that happen. Apparently, i was correct.
Every Call of Duty game
Every Western AAA shooter.
Halo? I mean all of Humanity is on the backfoot in a war against a more technologically advanced genocidal Covenant who want to erase humanity for being related to the species they worship. They go from a population of like 50 billion to 200 million
Halo has elements at least, imo. Protagonist single handedly driving history, the atrocious things the Earth government does (including the creation of Spartans) are basically justified by the alien invasion, various junk like melee weapons being useful in a space age because “muh warrior monk culture”, etc
I’m not even into Halo universe, but afaik it oozes fascism so much they need irrational space religious fundamentalists (aren’t they basically proxy for islamophobia?) as opponent.
Aye, pretty much. Complete with totally-not-Humvees, the usual trope of “future space military is just like present day USMC”, everyone being Anglo, etc
And naming the supersoldier project “Spartan”, with obvious neonazi vibes, i half expected patches with “Molon labe” on them.
Well from what little I know about Halo, prior to the aliens the Earth government mostly waged war against its own people. Suppressing uprisings against shitty conditions and the oppression.
In this context the name makes perfect sense.
The Last of Us 2
Also Neil Druckmann is an Isr*eli. Look up his inspiration for the game
