Six Days in Fallujah - A military shooter about a real battle in the Iraq War, back from the dead and more controversial than ever

They also need to have characters talking about the recently debuted on Adult Swim anime Fullmetal Alchemist and how great the voice actor for Edward Elric is.

IT AIN'T ME
SO YOU'D BETTER CHECK UNDER THE SEA

 

[Thiletonomics]

glancing at the title I thought this said "Six Flags Over Fallujah" and it was going to be some mashup of Rollercoaster Tycoon and an RTS where you had to defend the coaster from the infidels and/or islams

When I saw the title, I thought it was gonna be some sort of jumpscare video game like Five Nights at Freddy's.

This game also got trashed by the right-wing media back in the day too because it was considered "too violent" or "disrespectful to our troops and their families" but given how much the right-wing has changed these days I expect all the outrage to be left-wing. Nowadays instead of glorifying war or whatever bullshit it'll be considered racist or white supremacist or some nonsense.

It's too bad this game might actually come out this time. It was more fun to imagine it as some ultra-realistic shooter with a bit of survival horror as you run low on ammunition as the hordes of durkas are coming or the sudden scare you get whenever you hear "ALLAHU AKBAR" but it's just a civilian NPC or whatever. The fact it was never released from bipartisan controversy made it all the better. Now I expect it to be heavily altered from whatever the original intention was and it'll probably just be a ripoff of Spec Ops: The Line but all buggy and messy like Duke Nukem Forever was.

Mark me down for "dread with a spark of hope". If this game is going to work, it needs to hit a very fine margin somewhere between CoD 2, World at War, Spec Ops and ARMA: playable-but-not-arcade, dark-but-not-edgy. And in this day an age, in this political climate, with this games industry, that's just not something that I can put my trust in happening.

 

[Considered HARMful]

I remember playing Custom Arma missions made by fools who were obsessed with that game never coming out.

Were they any good?

 

[Dom Cruise]

I heard the "bad' ending is the one where Obama pulls the US military out prior to the 2012 election and loses the city along with most of the country to ISIS.

Just kidding, that's what actually happened.

ISIS, who only existed in the first place because we destabilized the region.

 

[Miller]

and composer Marty O'Donnell.

Well at least the soundtrack will be good.

 

[Foltest]

This could be interesting. I had an interest in this game ever since it was announced. Let’s hope it come out and is good.

 

[ShortBusDriver]

ISIS, who only existed in the first place because we destabilized the region.

Yeah, that's what happens when President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton openly supported the Muslim Brotherhood and their 2010 Arab Spring which over threw the governments of Egypt, Libya and started the Syrian civil war.

 

[Titos]

Just have the multiplayer be a total re-skin of Americas Army. I remember playing that game on my potato PC back in the days and loving it.

 

[The Last Stand]

Nowadays instead of glorifying war or whatever bullshit it'll be considered racist or white supremacist or some nonsense.

Likely the outrage will be American intervention towards Muslims. Islamophobia and the like. I doubt the right wing cares much about video games compared to then.

 

[Coolio55]

Very very interesting.
I wonder how Extra Credits are gonna live this one down considering that they defended it waaaay back when

I never said that was good either.

 

[Meat Target]

"War is hell" is a done-to-death trope. "War is retardation" is much more poignant.

Liberals love Dubya and interventionism now. I doubt they'll raise a fuss.

 

[Syaoran Li]

Whoa, they're bringing this back?

I see no reason why if you can make a movie about the Iraq war, you can't make a video game, especially one that strives to be realistic and historically accurate.

For that November 2004 feel that need to have a period detail of a soldier saying how much he can't wait to play Halo 2 when he gets back home.

They also need to have characters talking about the recently debuted on Adult Swim anime Fullmetal Alchemist and how great the voice actor for Edward Elric is.

This but unironically.

Also, I'd unironically spring some extra money to license some 2000's era music.

Let's be honest here, Drowning Pool's "Bodies" is to Iraq what CCR's "Fortunate Son" is to 'Nam.

Get some edgy "butt rock" (nu-metal, pop punk, emo, post-grunge, etc.) songs and maybe some of the edgier hip-hop from that era as well.

I just rediscovered this video yesterday and was considering to post it here sometime, but you beat me to it. I'm pretty sure, however, that the people who run Extra Credits now are entirely different than the people who ran it back then. ..And I'm also pretty sure that nobody from either the new or old crew would now publicly agree with the defense of Six Days and its developers made in that video.

 

[Snekposter]

A buddy of mine was somewhere in the MidEast in the Marines when Fallujah went down. I asked him if he was there, he wasn't, then asked how he felt about not being there. Said he was disappointed he missed it. Only partially because Marines were neck-deep in shit, but mostly because it was a big-ass fight and Marines never miss those if they can help it. It was a very poignant thing to hear and think about. Somehow I doubt the makers will be able to capture some of that strange Marine ethos about getting stuck in. That whole "war is retarded" bit up above? Yeah, that's Marines. They love to do stupid shit. Like house-to-house urban combat against an entrenched, prepared foe. Its not just duty but adrenaline.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Unless I can play as proud black woman on her period with no tampons, broken acrylic nails and a disintegrating weave as I shoot sandniggers it won't be realistic for me.

Don't forget the tight dress
