[QUOTE="Razuur, post: 5753868, member: 1997"] Yeah, this is one of those things like the Red dawn remake. Afraid of angering the Chinese, they change the invaders to... North Korea. Because North Korea could mount an invasion of America. Uh huh. Very believable and exciting! Or Persians being angry at 300. one of my best friends is persian, and she loved it. She thought it was great FANTASY. Games, movies, etc - these things are fantasy. Pretend. And then when creators back pedal it just tends to dilute their product. To me, the first descript sounded more "exciting" than the second to me. The world gangs up on us because we have the perfect defense? Okay... So America becomes a bad guy in a game. Wouldn't be the first time. People are going to play a game because it is fun. This reminds me of another thread out in the webiverse about a game product that focuses on gypsies, and how someobody who comes from a real world gypsy background was offended that there were any negative stereotypes in the product. It is a game, and these are mythic archetypes put together to create a unique gaming experience. My wife is from a gypsy background, and she loves anything related to it. it would like me being offended at the telling of Irish and their whiskey jokes. I am Irish and the first ot make those jokes!\ It is just a game folks, relax! Have fun! Otherwsie, vote with your pocketbook! [/QUOTE]
