then they realized pouring money into actual game studios with more cost-effective

And that gamers didn’t want actual realism.

Oh man, was it version 2.1 or 2.4 that was the best? I think it was the one where urban assault was released. So many hrs playing until 3.0. There was a test to be able to play medic in the game. It taught basic first aid.

The training/intro sergeant sounded just like one of my actual sergeants.

WoolyNelson ,

People were in an uproar over “indoctrination” by the game. If your child can be convinced to join the army by playing that game… maybe it’s for the best.

Ya, idk how this would recruit someone into infantry. I played it for a little bit and it was a getting shot simulator. Idk if I ever even saw someone on the other team.

Every game I play teaches me that I will immediately die in real life if anything bad ever happens.

Every FPS - shot dead immediately. No respawning.

Scary game - heart attack immediately.

Every sword game - maimed horrifically.

Zombie apocalypse - eaten immediately, and I’ll turn into a fat one that explodes later.

Every sword game - maimed horrifically.

I seem to recall Bushido Blade crudely implemented this in the late 90’s, introducing rudimentary disablements on a Fallout-style limb system that would slow you down if you took a slash to the leg, or render your hand ineffective if you were struck there.

The slow march into middle age is making my memories fuzzy.

Bushido Blade was out jam back in the day.
They was also a really cool samurai game called Way of the Samurai (i think) that had complex combat, and like 100 different ending or something.

FinalRemix ,

Way of the Samurai is amazing. 3&4 are on GOG if memory serves. In 4, you can literally get an ending by getting right back on your boat and fucking off to a less murdery town.

Oh sweet, I had no idea there’s was more than 2. Thanks

Do you remember when people figured out, on certain maps… stand exactly here (in spawn), fire a grenade launcher at this exact pixel in the skybox, and 80% of the enemy team is now dead?

Zannsolo ,

We had those but nade throws in the original call of duty.

bobs_monkey ,

Shit, that game was fun to pass the time, but never once did it inspire me to enlist.

SteveFromMySpace ,

I absolutely remember playing America’s Army. It took me like six attempts but I finally got it installed lol
