Crysis - Fighting the North Korean army.... then later on some alien race.
Modern warfare 3 (coming soon): more killing of russian soldiers.
prolly a few more that i cant think of right now, but these 3 do come to mind.
Dont get me wrong, im not anti-american, but im all for a game that puts the shoe on the other foot.... well, its a 1st person shooter, so i couldnt care either way  To be honest, i would love to play a WWII shooter from a german grunts perspective, would be awsome! |
Exactly how i feel, plus playing the "bad guy" is usually more fun and enhances the sense of escapism we get from video-games.
It's exactly the reason that even though my country suffered greatly under axis occupation i mostly fly Luftwaffe birds in flight sims and have no emotional hindrances doing so.
Furthermore, in every single role playing game i've played that features branching storyline paths, i always play my character as a complete self-serving spoiled brat with his own interests in mind. I get enough of being an everyday normal guy in my real life, so videogames for me are mostly a way to be something i wouldn't want to be in the real world because my morals wouldn't let me.
If the videogame was any good i'd have no qualms shooting up virtual troops dressed in US uniforms and i would enjoy it too, just like i've shot cops in GTA games and shot at allied aircraft in IL2. It's no big deal for me and even if it was, i would simply choose to play a different game or pick a different allegiance.
