But the main problem with all these WW2 games are the overwhelming patriotism. Maybe if you live in US you think that' s nice, but I don' t and it' s pathetic.
I live in the US and I can guarantee you there' s lots of us here who are sick of it too. Apparently about 49% of us, or maybe a bit more with a margin of error generated by election fraud. I guess the thing about WWII is it was the last time the that most of the general public in the US agreed that a war was worthwhile. (Although the US sure waited a long time to get involved.)
But to steer this back away from becoming too political, I look at the state of the whole games industry and I am struggling to remain interested. There is hardly anything these days but WWII and post-apocalyptic nightmare world scenarios. All this sh!t is played out!! And why are RPGs almost always set in medieval scenarios? Everything is just so repetitive and derivative these days.
When I got into gaming, most games were incredibly creative and bizarre. (Space Harrier anyone?) The whole push towards realism in graphics has definitely taken its toll on originality in creative vision. If war becomes our most compelling entertainment, we are all screwed.
Plus, as I get older, I' m not as interested in fulfilling my adolescent power-fantasies anymore. Maybe I am getting too old for this stuff.
