Inverting as many things as possible about Disco Elysium would involve a story about an exceptional ubermensch born into greatness with a vast harem of doting fawning waifus obsessing about his greatness where pretty much everything is possible and all threats are just relatively easy obstacles to overcome with more destiny and more greatness, with an undercurrent of "bad people are bad because they resent the great one's greatness."
... Shit, is the opposite of Disco Elysium Sword Art Online? :pathetic:
Maybe something like COD? Or any other series of US military funded games used to promote imperialism.
Americas Army was a fairly popular fps back in the day
it was an explicit recruiting tool, literally developed and published by the yank army
surprisingly competent as an fps considering who made it lmao
To play each class, you had to do a series of single-player training missions. For medic, that included sitting in a classroom for 15 minutes of instruction and filling out a test.
If you stood around the medical receptionists instead of going to a certain emergency medical training class, the two women would start to talk to each other.
"Hey when we get off our shift, you wanna go bowling ON BASE?"
"Yeah, that sounds good, then maybe we could get some Thai food, ON BASE."
I'll never forget that. It was deeply disconcerting to me as a young teenager.
the medical instruction was one of the few good things that game did lol
Making a level where you just sit in a classroom and do a test is extremely ballsy for an FPS trying to recruit people.
Also letting you shoot the instructor, then loading a jail cell.
Every day in every way I regret being unable to make room in my schedule for the first aid course in college.
That's actually hilarious
I did play a FPS back in the day that was funded (or at least publicly advised) by the US military where it completely backfired on them and the :amerikkka: and :eu-cool: factions were getting constantly curbstomped by the Russian/Chinese/Middle Eastern faction from day one
I'm still convinced those same military advisors are the ones behind nerfing our maps to make them harder to defend (didn't matter, we still fucking dominated through teamwork and skill) and eventually ruined any semblance of game balance through patches that made LMGs OP compared to every other gun at every range, killing the game
That shit was hilarious, been meaning to make a post about it
OH SHIT you're talking about MAG aren't you! SVER ALL THE WAY!
This game was so jank lol. But hey, it was ambitious to have so many players on playstation even if it was virtually unplayable in those big servers
Hell yeah, SVER forever!
If you ever played on the small map attacking Valor and had the bizarre experience of taking points A and B only to find that point C immediately had the C4 armed a second later, I'm probably the guy who did that
...are those three other factions or is it one faction of all the BRICs countries mobilizing at the same time in a giant rabble?
One big designated "bad guy" faction and it was cool as hell, our starting equipment was a rusty old AK held together with duct tape
The west in general, forgetting that China has the third largest army on the face of the earth:
The brief synopsis was 3 factions, an American grunt themed faction called Valor, a high tech Euro themed PMC faction called Raven, then SVER which was themed as a East European/Not post soviet rebellion group and it was so much cooler to play as those scrappy lads than the others
