I want WW2 games to be anti-axis. I don't want them to portray the conflict with nuance or show the fucking axis powers in a positive light. They were rabid dogs and needed to be put down like one.

TBH, American WWII games usually aren't particularly anti-German. The traditional strategy game approach is to treat it more like a sports match. The alternative would require the German player to engage with the Holocaust in some capacity, which most developers steer well clear of.

activision would be forcibly closed if they made COD 2 today with Stalingrad - even though the mission is straight up 'enemy at the gates' human wave slop - because how dare they portray the asiatic ruzzian orcs as heroic against our smol bean true euro wehrmacht who didn't even want to be there

wasn't there some rts game like 10 15 years ago - world of heroes? heroes of war? blood of heroes? - where the first game had the classic western allies vs wehrmacht in normandy, which is all fine, and then the sequel did the eastern front. now of course they depicted the germans as "misguided but still classy and cool" and the soviets as "technically on the right side but actually evil" including enemy at the gates BS like evil commissars forcing poor soldiers to fight or die (because the average soviet citizen would rather be invaded and genocided than fighting against the noble europeans)

I think it was Company of Heroes 2. The whole burger brained plot was told through an interrogation in a gulag and the main narrator wanted to defect if I'm remembering right.

Fucking Company of Heroes 2, and it chaps my ass to this day because mechanically it's a great RTS but holy shit they couldn't possibly conceive of portraying the Soviets as just clear-cut heroes for fighting the Nazis, as implied by the title. Ofc the devs are Canadians.

oh damn, is there like a subplot about how the Soviets (all ethnically russians) were owned by some epic ukrainians (who just happened to be allied to the germans don't worry about it they were just fighting for their free nation or something)?

Nah, but your Soviet commanding officer does betray and murder some Polish partisans, in the cut-scene after the mission where you help them out.

Americans dont get that their own country is hated by the entire rest of the world for a good reason and therefore cant understand why most of a continent would have beef with Japan

It is peak propaganda that people can choose Japan in China-Japan problems. I remember maybe 15 years ago on 9gag about China-Japan problems, people who said China was justified said all the stuff known. Japan side said stuff about Japan apologised and tried to make up for all of it which is hilariously falso

Pretty normal to describe a game about the Anti-Japanese War as anti-Japanese imo
How long until these propaganda headlines read "Pro-communist, anti-German WW2 Game Has players kill small bean white Germans"

Also consider that a lot of the most impactful WWII games in the u.s. like cod waw have also depicted fighting the Japanese military. It's not like China's breaking ground here by portraying that. The westerners are just mad that this will be much more historically justified.
Yuritopiaposadism in slop
American WWII games aren't described as anti-German but a Chinese game about WWII is apparently anti-Japanese.
