Most liberal video game
(lemmygrad.ml)
Every Call of Duty except World at War.
The Metro games (based on the books by lib author Dmitry Glukhovsky, a pro-Ukraine Navalny supporter).
Glukhovsky books are heavily promoted in Poland, that made me not want to read them, since it's always sus when that happen. Apparently, i was correct.
The Last of Us 2
Also Neil Druckmann is an Isr*eli. Look up his inspiration for the game
I remember playing Company of Heroes 2 and realizing how they portray the Soviets as worse than the Nazi Germans though the Nazi Germans in the cutscenes had POA patches. Treating the Soviet commanders as unsympathetic who treat their own soldiers as cannon fodder, backstabbers to allies and so on. Putting in Soviet "atrocities" in text on the load screens. Its greatly disgusting...
Wait till you try the "Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism", game which have super based animated steam avatars with Stalin, Molotov, Zhukov, Rokossovky, etc.
Just intro made me uninstall.
Every Call of Duty game
Every Western AAA shooter.
Halo? I mean all of Humanity is on the backfoot in a war against a more technologically advanced genocidal Covenant who want to erase humanity for being related to the species they worship. They go from a population of like 50 billion to 200 million
Halo has elements at least, imo. Protagonist single handedly driving history, the atrocious things the Earth government does (including the creation of Spartans) are basically justified by the alien invasion, various junk like melee weapons being useful in a space age because "muh warrior monk culture", etc
I'm not even into Halo universe, but afaik it oozes fascism so much they need irrational space religious fundamentalists (aren't they basically proxy for islamophobia?) as opponent.
What's the connection between the Covenant and islamophobic views of Islamic states other than they're religious?
That's enough, we are talking about Usians here.
Halo 1 released on november 2001, and while 9/11 likely did not had enough time to impact on game development, "islamic terrorism" had been the premier media bad guy in the 90's after state propaganda ordered easing up on Russia after USSR destruction and China after its opening and seeming liberalisation.
Plenty of people did connected it back then to the spinning up "war on terror", even if it was unintended, and obvious glorification of US Armed Forces in the game didn't helped.
