Any games where America is the bad guy?

Don't care, would get to shoot AIG executives. 10/10 video games are art

Plenty just in one series, even though they may not have been born here and nowhere is explicit most of the time; aren't most of the bad guys you kill in GTA games considered Americans? Same for all the gangs in Crackdown. Now, if you mean the American military, well then, that's a horse of a different color and I don't think they should do that, besides, it wouldn't go over well in the country that buys most of these type games, FPS / TPS combat. :P

Another game where I can play as Germans is MS Close Combat 2: A Bridge too Far.

It's not about pride. It's all about OPFOR.

Do the gov guys in RDR count?

Saints Row: The Third

@-God-: don't want to play a game where people who behead people for not joining their specific Islamic cult are beheaded. To suggest having a game like that besides in arena shooter is just wrong...

I expected more someone using the name -god-

Now a game where the public in America up rises against the Obama admin trying to take away our guns and attempting to put Americans in FEMA consintration camps. .. wouldn't be a far stretch from the socialist end goal agenda. And it puts the gov. As the enemy not the American people.

@Midnightshade29: so basically a Tea Party wet dream

Just watch some MSNBC if that's what you're looking for.

Battlezone on PC. If you played the red campaign...

Came here to say this, but that's already covered

Some American general betrayes you in CoD MW 2. Does it count?

A game playing as a muslim killer killing americans will be fun. LOL

@blamix99 said: A game playing as a muslim killer killing americans will be fun. LOL

REally... you can't be serious... why don't we play as the Nazis then.... oh right that would be a Travisty, but it's ok to play as ISIS kiling amercians...... people who behead other muslims and christians... screw that...

/end rant

- the only way something like that would be acceptable is if it was history like 70 plus years ago as this shit hits too close to present times...and frankly I cringe at the thought of my countrymen being killed... now if you said democrats and Republicans I would so have at it... :p

@jun_aka_pekto: back when ms made pc games and good ones at that. The gates era of ms was great for games on pc and xbox 1 was really a 1 not a "one"

Other games u can play as Germans against Americans or others...

panzer general and basically any grand strategy game you can play as them... and company of heroes, which is weird how we (people, devs ,history etc..) look at the military conquest in awe and respect and make games about it but at the same time make other games about killing them en mass, Ala any fps ww2 game.

Personally I usually never play the American side in strategy games even though I am one and love my country, just not too fond of the politicians from both oligarch parties...

@Midnightshade29: you play as terrorists killing Americans in a number of multiplayer games.

@Midnightshade29:

When I play a game and choose the other side instead of the US, I treat it like the opposing forces in real-world war games. The big training meets (Top Gun, Red Flag, etc) always have opposing forces who follow the doctrine of the enemy they are emulating to the letter.

I don't mind. I got de-sensitized years ago.

In ARMA 2, I can make scenarios where US forces would be on the receiving end.....

Tie Fighter :)

Don't worry, I'm sure North Korea or Iran will release a video game at some point.

Doesn't China have one already?

Since we're on the subject. I took the time to reinstall BF1942. Omaha Beach was one of my favorite scenarios.....

I know you alluded to it in your OP but definitely GTA V. The U.S. government law agencies are constantly at odds with each other, and they're fucking everything up in the process. They are screwing you over, the people over, each other over. They are the main villain. True that you are american, (and Canadian) but then you are a bad guy as well.

North America is the biggest gaming market. Not catering to them would be a financial boo boo. IMHO.

Well there's Das Boot, but that was quarter of a century ago.

In 9th Company, You fight against the Mujahideen, so I guess Americans are bad guys by proxy.

Depending on which country you're at, and the continent model it goes by (there are several) America can denote a continent, not a country.

Why do you hate America?

Oh no we don't hate the continent

That doesn't make sense

Then educate yourself a bit

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas

perhaps you should educate yourself a bit

The Americas aren't a continent: "combined continental landmasses of North America and South America"

Facepalm. But both South and North America are continents. Lol.

You're both kind of wrong, because you're both being absolute. There's no universal definition of continents. Some models consider America a single continent. Some models consider Australia a continent (others don't). Some models consider Eurasia a continent. And so on.

Every major defeat of the Nazis came on their eastern front e.g. the Panzers and such. If you also read history, Soviet troops arrived in Berlin before the other Allied forces. I could bring up the Soviet banners and such that filled Germany, the aspirations of the Nazi regime and of fascism, the western governments' support and admiration for the Nazi regime prior to his westward conquest etc. but all the debunking of historical revision can take place somewhere else.

America is a continent, not a country. The United States (of America.... of...Of... OF....) is a country tho.

Thats why in Latin America people from the US are (properly) referred to as United Satedians.

did you just scroll down and stop at this part? because there was a whole conversation about this

im just making sue you get educated...

lol

Well, since I've help the Yanks murder approximately 176 million Russians, Arabs, Chinese, Koreans and other assorted Eastern/black/brown people throughout my vidya game career, a chance to strike back would be welcome.

I think a game where you play as a young Muslim man in Madeupistan, whose family are killed by an American drone strike and then gets involved in Taliban/ISIS/Hizbollah/etc could be very good. Might make people think as well. Not that it will ever, ever happen.

that sarcasm?

It's not "America" per se, but the human faction is the definite "bad guy" in Gears of War.

They settle the Locust home world, start ripping into it's surface for resources, and the Locust come pouring out in defence of their home land... and we're forced to slaughter them all in delightful, gory fashion.

Just thought of this as I pushed "Post"

Ever heard of the Philippine-American War? A game based on that war would be very interesting for a change.

Any Game where the lead character is Black.

Alpha Protocol I guess?

Still I remember playing ARMA 3 tutorial and the Americans being super nice 'don't torture the hostage' types who chastised NATO forces for beating the civilian population. The NATO forces even had hilarious vaguely European accents. I lol'd

You probably fine it easier to empathize because you're both so much alike. You're really a dead ringer for Rico.

My friend, you are still under English rule. What's more, you recently had the opportunity to escape their tyranny in a simple vote and failed to even do that. Mel Gibson is still rolling in his grave over that one.

The metal gear series does this to some extent. In fact, in Peace Walker you flat out fight the CIA with your nationless mercenary group while defending Costa Rica. So yeah, America are definitley the bad guys in Peace Walker.
