It's amazin' how there's tons of brown and grey games from the 2000's about murdering people in Iraq but one game has you playing as a Palestinian and you get put on a watchlist for terrorism.
Its just a joke like when i said bloc by block would get u on a watchlist
Eternal remindrr - the NSA is intercepting all your electronic comms. The idea of a watch list is outdated. Now you're being keyword searched and measured to see if you reach a threshhold of concern suitable for elevation to more intensive surveillance.
This game started out as an army training tool

on a similar note I have been told something about america's army that old f2p game that was sponsored/made by the real life us military. The one i have a vague memory of where you could pick any side and the one u didnt pick would always be the terrorist bad guys but i might have misremembered that part. Anyway the anecdote i was told was they really made the soldiers play it IRL like as part of their training. may have been bs or might have been true either way they made action figures and trading cards kids could buy of real soldiers from it that killed people and got horribly injured whilst trying to kill said people. sick but not surprising. but it was actually a pretty good game and it was free so theres that
yep that was designed as a recruiting tool, basically an official us army counter-strike. It was exactly how you remember, both sides would be playing as the US army but to them the other team was always the terrorists
yea its accidental political commentary plus kind of messed up that they made it a good game for free that could run on mediocre computers almost as if they wanted a certain demographic to play 🤔 but im still torn between having good memories of those types of games as a kid and knowing how messed up the politics behind them are as an adult. nostalgia goggles are powerfull
You could even frag your trainer in the basic training tutorial (which I think was forced iirc), and you would get a cutscene ending inside a prison cell.
Training soldiers to besiege a city and rain fire down on it for days against an enemy armed with small arms and man portable mortars with limited training that the US outnumbers 10-1. As near as I can tell it was the closest thing the US has had to a real battle since Vietnam.
I recently saw a gameplay video of "six days in fallujah" on the front page of youtube
It looks terrible which makes it even funnier. They should do a Postal styled game set in Occupied Palestine
to me the game is good but i have low standards and its an indie game
Having high jank tolerance is effectively required to appreciat everything the medium of gaming has to offer. Almost inevtiably the most creative and innovative works will be unable to muster a high degree of polish and mastery of every aspect of game creation. Sometimes unity store assets are worth it to witness a new system or idea.
