skirtish: I think you do have a point but it doesn't apply very well to this particular case. There is a fundamental difference between playing on a strategic level dealing with faceless troops and something like this, a personable, immersive experience.
It's still a game...one set on IRL events, yes, but still a game.
skirtish: This is a game about joining the resistance against an oppressive, inhumane regime. To be complaining about having to play "Goody Two-shoes" is a bit absurd and like complaining you can't play a Combine soldier in HL2. Only much more disrespectful because there
were actual resistance fighters to whom, by extension, you're now also applying that term.
Because some of us get bored and sick of playing the good guys all the time and want to play bad characters sometimes....in ANY game we can...if we feel the desire to. It's not like we'd do such things IRL if we did them in a game.
(Also side note: I wonder how playing a combine soldier would be like.....if they had to do their job as a cog in the machine else be killed/etc themselves...so much to explore)
skirtish: I suppose there are games that let you freely play psychopaths or compromised egoistic roles, and they have their place, but this isn't one of them.
Why? Because it happened IRL? We have animated films/etc on some tragedies like the sinking of the titanic....yet not many complain about those.
