minus-square@IMongoose@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish14•9 months agoYa, 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.
minus-square@Fester@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish20•9 months agoEvery 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.
