We've been served more than our portion when it comes to playing real-time action wargames, mostly focused on World War II era.
I feel it's time we have a fresh new batch of games that focus on the other sides.
How about, for a change,
1. We take the Germans as the Protagonist and US and Allies as Antagonists? I wonder how the Germans are taking these new games and viewing these games that smear them as villains again, and again and again. And again...
2. We play the roles of KGBs and go against the CIAs? And I'm not talking about Dungeon Keeper like scenario, where you are the bad guy. This time, the Russians ARE the good guys and going after the secret stealing CIAs?
3. The Chinese Govt.'s struggle against US's ambition of World Domination.
4. Discard the American slang of English speech in each and every game? Japanese games started hiring speakers with US slang that really takes away the tone and atmosphere . ( I just change the spoken language to Japanese, even if I don't understand it, but turn on the English subtitles.)
(It get's annoying, just like in one of our local language movies, there's a SINGLE female voice dub for every different heorine!! They seem to like her voice, but that shouldn't be made as an excuse to put in any heorine and simply use the same voice dubbing artist!)
If making games based on Romans, it will be better and more realistic to use the local language, or at least, hire the local roman to speak english, to better suit the atmosphere.
I remember in one of my favourite games, Assassin's Creed, I really wish they had really made those ancient languages alive. Even if I'm from another upbringing, I'd really love to hear people speak Hebrew while in Jerusalem. And infusing authentic Arab languages while in Damascus would have been excellent.
Just a suggestion and wish. Nothing to do with Foreign Policies.
I believe in only good friendship and love, withouth borders or religions. The hell with politics, religion and unnecessary boundaries.
