This is why Black Souls is still the best of "X is... le bad!" type of games. It trusts (you), the player, to be capable of making a moral judgment instead of preaching to you directly like Spec Ops did.
People are too fragile these days desu. Look at the retards frothing at the mouth at the very mention of Lolita or Gravity's Rainbow. And that's WITH Humber Humbert admitting in the text directly that what he did was wrong.

The trailer insists upon itself, can't imagine how the game will be.

The only thing more boring than war is the discourse around it.

No, obviously pointless war is bad. People shouldn't die for the hecking GDP. But preaching about it in a video game? That's how you get Kojima Slop tier writing

>omg so you're saying that.... war is just.... one big simulation and we're in a game? and that it's just a way to pump out more money for the elite?
>oh my gooood it's such a KINO ALLEGORY AAAAAAGHHHHHH
>KINOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Man.... That shit is tiring.

>>744716853
But anon think about the diverse audience of non media literate players or something!

But war is objectively morally bad. Always was, always will be. Only by understanding that you can learn how to wage it effectively but always having in mind that best case scenario is not having to wage it in first place.

I want this game except the story revolves around Epstein Island and you're a special operative raiding the place, but you realize that the island is merely an entrance to a deep underground comples. You get roped into Epstein's schemes and he installs a chip in your brain to alter your perception of reality to cover his tracks.
The big plot reveal is that he's developing an age regression machine to turn all his victims into little children but the de-aging process destroys your neural architecture.

Call it: Escape From Epstein Island.

While you may think this is really gauche satire, anything that frustrates recrooooters gets my approval. Will it get into anything nitty-gritty like the relationship between gun manufacturers and licensing agreements? No. Will it critique the US empire with anything more pointed than "we shouldn't invade countries, y'all"? No. But the average gamer is so fucking dumb that anything is a step up.

war is bad, but nowadays it is made infinitely worse by the extreme omnipresence of surveillance
Your final moments will be completely deprived of dignity

Spec Ops: The line was the only game made a decent commentary about the mass consumption of war games that deshumanize the violent aspect of it, and it still managed to be enjoyable. /v/ can keep seething all day about it but it was a good game that tried to say something valuable for the industry.
We already had that conversation years ago so I don't get the point of this pedantic cringefest

>The twisted offspring of Spec Ops: The Line and The Stanley Parable. An infinitely looping Black Mirror episode with no escape.
>An unflinching examination of gaming's ever-present relationship with violence and the machinery of warfare. This game will not pull punches or ignore the tragic cost of conflict. Player actions have consequences.
>This is not a power fantasy. There is no heroism here. The boundary between simulation and reality is collapsing. There is only the next instruction.
>The Stanley Parable with a loaded rifle. A psychological horror FPS where a demented commanding officer controls your every move, and the line between war simulation and real war dissolves into impossible, stunning spaces. You are not a soldier. You are being made into one.
>War Fantasy is a psychological horror first-person shooter about the merging of war video games and real war.
>You are dropped into an infinite military training compound. Your commanding officer watches. He instructs. He corrects. He grooms. Every shot you fire, every order you follow, every moment you hesitate is logged and fed back into a system designed with one purpose: to turn you into an attack dog.
>Navigate surreal, impossible spaces built from the architecture of the military industrial complex: corridors that loop, training simulations with no exits, war factories that sprawl endlessly. Wield the latest in modern firearms that feel real because the game needs you to believe they are. And listen closely to the voice that never stops watching, never stops conditioning, and always wants to see you suffer.
>War Fantasy draws a straight line from Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket to the first-person shooter genre and asks the simple questions: what have games been training us for, and what does the future of war games look like?

people really like stuff that goes "x is le bad" until it breaches past the surface stuff then they chimp out yeah its so easy to say war is bad woah dude war is...le bad murder is...le bad? but take it a step further and ask the question is murdering another race to protect your own bad or not? (just an example dont go all polshit on me) they'll chimp out and demand the person who wrote it jailed for racism
>>
>>744722548
Spec Ops was a shit game and was just as cringe as this. There is zero insightful commentary in these games, is just stating the obvious "war is.. le bad"
>>
>>744723539
>is murdering another race to protect your own bad or not? (just an example dont go all polshit on me)
i mean you pulled possibly the most retarded possible example, the kind only a stormfront fag would unironically think up

Maybe we should think about who the bad people who start the wars in the first place.

stop being antisemitic.

so... a metaphor for race

can the concept of "war bad" even be milked at this point? This theme exists since fucking antiquity there is nothing more you could possibly say about it

To be honest people really don't think about it enough. Everyone just accepts that war is normal. They know that it's basically a portal to hell but when their government opens it they just shrug
>>744717028
>pointless war
See even you're doing the propaganda routine where opening a portal to hell is just fine as long as there's a "point" to it. The point being some geopolitical struggle that's only ever going to improve the lives of billionaires
>>
>>744727179
There's a lot that can be said about it. Uncomfortable truths that people look away from. Like the fact that civilians don't actually exist in a warzone, a civilian can be drafted in a day and just like that it's morally correct to kill him even though he did nothing that would justify it. Only people with immunity are women and children, but that's another inconvenient truth that people don't say out loud
