I think SoF 1 is a pretty racist game...

Hmmm... I guess it's a long time, since I last played it, so I don't remember that part... well... I almost only remember the cutting arms, etc off their bodies

Dwarves with SCOTTISH ACCENTS! Good lord, does every dwarf in the imaginary universe hail from Scotland?

Also, the arcade shooting games. How the hell does a person carry so much ammo? Also, how does a pistol have so much damn power and versatility to be able to take down just about everything that exists, human or not?(Cough houseofthedead Cough)

Another one: Evil geniuses who build uber-robots with one blindingly obvious weak spot (i.e. a scar on the chest, etc.).

House of the Dead was cool b/c you could shoot anywhere and blow that part off (to a point), not like VirtuaCop, etc., where you hit them anywhere. Hehe in the PC version of HotD you could change the color of the blood to purple, yellow, etc.

In FPS's, why are you always the sole defender of Earth as it is being overrun by aliens? Why can't you, for once, be the sole alien commando ordered to infiltrate the Earth base?
The only counter-example I can think of off the top of my head is when you're fighting the Nazis in Wolfenstein.

i AGREE. Pacman didnt have a story plot. Whats up with this Make-games-basically-movies-that-you-point-and-click trend?


Also.

-Hero or group of very few heros kill like millions of bad guys.
-Boss is the most powerful fighter. (are all bosses brutes not thinkers? )
-(and in continuation) Boss is hundred times stronger than his own army (What the **** is the point of paying these dumb henchman then?)

alien VS predator: alien campaign.

If you are referring to how thee's always more bad guys then good guys. I agree (look at my first rant on above post) For a change I want billions of good guys VS few bad guy game.

I like how Deus Ex goes against this trend. In several levels, the boss at the end actually gives up without a fight. It makes the game more realistic - not every person is willing or eager to give their lives for a cause.

Good notes from everybody.

I am glad to hear that fallout actually beats lots of trends on RPG rants.

With the fall of the Soviet Bloc as the arch enemy of the West, computer games are getting more creative at picking alternative bad guys. I don't think SoF1 was particularly racist in having some opponents from the Arab states, and I don't recall racist language being used.

I heard that's the way the Russian Front version of Close Combat played.

Hehe yes. Okay men, sneak up on that Pz III. One of you may get lucky with a grenade. The rest of you, try to throw yourselves into its treads when you get shot. You might just immobilize it!

All games (certainly within genres) are basically the same.
