Yeah I know what you're thinking, another attack on 'gamers', video games bad etc.

How Video Games Sold the American “War on Terror”



But he makes some good points and I have to admit, I've also been desensitized to all the scenes of destruction. Even thinking, this looks like the setting for the next Fallout game, Killzone, etc.


Life imitating art

Tbf, there is a counterpoint to CoD's 'messaging' on Steam

"Fursan al-Aqsa The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque"
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1714420/Fursan_alAqsa_The_Knights_of_the_AlAqsa_Mosque/

DISCLAIMER

THIS GAME DOES NOT PROMOTE "TERRORISM", ANTISEMITISM, HATE AGAINST JEWS OR ANY OTHER GROUP, THIS IS A MESSAGE OF PROTEST AGAINST THE ISRAELI MILITARY OCCUPATION OF THE PALESTINIAN LANDS. FURSAN AL-AQSA IS A VIDEO GAME ABOUT WAR LIKE MANY OTHER GAMES HERE ON STEAM (SIX DAYS IN FALLUJAH, CALL OF DUTY AND OTHERS).

Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a Third Person Action Game on which you play as Ahmad al-Falastini, a young Palestinian Student who was unjustly tortured and jailed by Israeli Soldiers for 5 years, had all his family killed by an Israeli Airstrike and now, after getting out from the prison, seeks revenge against those who wronged him, killed his family and stolen his homeland, by joining a new Palestinian Resistance Movement called Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

This game is greatly inspired by Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Insurgency Sandstorm, Max Payne and Goldeneye 007.

Also released April 2022, well before the current mess.


Anyway I have no interest in playing it or any other FPS. I'll stick to jumping on things for 'kills'.
