Would you/do you play a war game where your country is 'the bad guys'?

It certainly would be fun to play as an Iraqi civilian who takes up arms to fight off the evil English speaking invaders.

If Canada was the enemy? FUCK YES!!! FEAR OUR ZAMBONIES!

Okay, now that that's out of my system, yes. I absofuckinglutely would play if Canada was the enemy. I know a lot of Canadians I'd like to kill. Can't say the same for any other country. And if they could make Canada look badass, which they'd have to to make us a terrorist group, then all power to 'em. Maybe we'll burn down the white house again.

America can never be the bad guys. So your point is mute.


Your move Escapist, tread softly
DAMN STRAIGHT!!! But my homeland of Germany is always played as the bad guys, I find it hard to play a ww1 or 2 game that doesnt portray us as "THE MOST GREATEST EVIL!!!" cause that is the commis in russia and china.

I can't really see England being the villains in anything other then a tea drinking contest, at least until we get the empire back. However, the image of soliders marching to the Sex Pistols version of God Save the Queen is mildly amusing.
See Braveheart.

As a brit I am kinda used to being the bad guy in films (not as common now it seems), honestly I quite enjoy the whole evil british thing. :p

I can't think of a game i'd not play because of who the bad guys in it are. If the game is fun then it's all good.

I would. It's a game, and I don't always want to see it from the perspective of the heroes, I want to see the villians' perspective while I'm doing it.

Scottish people aren't evil, you just dont understand us ;)
But I suppose if I was to be shooting my fellow kilted bastards in the face, I wouldn't be too bothered. It's just a game after all.

considering its all pixels and fun, of course

as long as the game is fun, then yeah why not, if they tied it up nicely to the plot or whatever they are aiming for i dont care who im fighting for or against.

Technically, in Modern Warfare 2, you CAN fight the Americans. Just join a multiplayer game on the team that's not American.
That works, right? ^_^
Theres tons of video games where you can play as the opposing faction in multiplayer. Its not the same thing as the campaign.
Well, I suppose you're right. I don't suppose Civilization IV counts, then? Because that'd be my next suggestion.

Any other german people except here?

I'm also half romanian...so yeah, every game where you kill vampires also has me as the bad guy.

I rest my case.

NAZI VAMPIRE!
would be fun to play as...
Welcome to the escapist, blah blah, don't mock the Funk, don't eat the cookies, and don't feed the trolls. They are kept in the basement.
OT: I'd love to play as the attackers in Homefront (yeah for those games you'll forget about but always fit into a comment) or maybe a WWIII where the Axis powers invade the allied countries (UK, US, Russia). There would be three campaigns: Axis, Allies, and Switzerland. You don't fight in Switzerland. It's more like a harvest moon :)
I also liked playing as the bad guys, and it would be more emotional to blow up somewhere I've been than to destroy "generic national monument from place I'll never go"
Oh my god this is the greatest cheesecake cover evaaa lololol

until I read Oliver Kalkofe. It's like having a Terminator movie done by the guy who made Charlie's Angels.

On Topic: I know this is hyperreality, no real country and what not, but how many people played Lord of the Rings games as orks and uruk-hai or star wars games as storm troopers only to be able to slaughter hobbits and ewoks?

(I didn't, I like those stoner hobbits and find the ewoks adorable...yes I'm a disgrace to my vampire zombie race)

Hmmm... A game where Ireland are the bad guys against the British? Now how would that work? The thought of us as evil makes everyone laugh :(
Ya i mean we are neutral now if we were part of an evil EU peacekeeping mission then i could believe it XD

Give me a weapon, give me a target, I'll kill it. Nationality means nothing to me. It's only a game.

What does matter to me is a good story, and good game play.

I actually would like to do it or at least try but it seems that game companies would fear the potential whiplash of it.
