[QUOTE="xuimod"][QUOTE="Grim_Wolf88"]I have yet to play a game that presents anti-nationale propaganda and I'm pretty damn good at seeing propaganda where it's at. Are you sure you aren't just looking for a game that presents the other untold side of the struggle? Those are far and few. Why? Because western culture celebrates its own stories and victories as any culture would. And since most game companies are setup in the western world go figure. They want to tell their stories not the stories of others.Grim_Wolf88
'....I'm pretty damn good at seeing propaganda where it's at.'
No you're not. I think u suck at seeing propaganda.
play Call of Duty 4? in that story the Middle easterners are clearly the bad guys and the us/west are the knights in shining armor.
the taxi ride in the beginning with the menacing looking arab (i'm only typing arab b/c middle easterner is too damn much to type). the 'evil' arab's launching a nuclear explosion. u kill an arab at the end of the game to be the hero.
cod4 is a nationalist game against middle-easterners and arabs if there ever was one.
if u can't see that then ur in clear denial.
The reason there arabs is because the game is set in the middle east. They also happen to be terrorist which is why you're against them. You're not against their nation as you are trying to prove. You are against a terrorist uprising. Hell, they went out of there way to make sure that they didn't name the specific country the story takes place in over in the middle east. The propaganda that is present is not anti-nationalist as you are trying to state. Setting things straight, I stated that there was NO ANTI-NATIONALIST PROPAGANDA. I did not however deny that propaganda was used. There's a differance.
no nation was mentioned? that's just semantics. cod4 pretty much painted all middle easterners as bad guys. there wasn't one middle easterner in cod4 that was 'good', not one that was on the us side (well aside from the president who got killed in the beginning but u couldn't even see his face; the only arab faces in cod4 were doing bad things).
its like saying there's a game came out about invading a country called 'Amernica' who has a president called 'President Shrub' (who sounds and looks exactly like president Bush) but saying this is a fictional country so its all good.
