I saw the trailer on the Xbox showcase today and holy shit is it blatant unfiltered propaganda. They have a whole extraction game mode that takes place on the DMZ and if I understand it correctly it is just Tarkov but you fulfill the Amerikkkan power fantasy of killing DPRK citizens, since doing a genocide on them was not enough.

The empire really doesn't care anymore and will just pump out the most blatant propaganda possible and no one will bat an eye.

Yeah that one was insane, and with no pretense either - the Venezuela one was literally about taking their oil iirc

Awesome games though lol I liked them when I was a kid

Just Cause perfected that sort of thing really - Just Cause 2 was basically blow up North Korea.

At least Just Cause 2 had the decency to make up a pretend island with a pretend bad guy on it so you're not being conditioned as strongly to think it's okay to kill anyone in any real country

And as far as I remember there are some based characters in that game who have absolute contempt for the main character and will gladly send him into absurd situations because he's a shitty US goon and if he dies good and if he takes out some fascist goons with him all the better

Also the later titles did somewhat move away from that. In 4 the main enemy was an US mercenary group IIRC. And at the end of that game it did sort of imply you would be attacking some sort of US agency in the next title (which was canceled, rip).
