Tell Our Story (It's about Battlefield 1 and depicting the losers of war)

[dimitrik129]

They had such an opportunity with the campaign to make a narrative like no other. This wasn't a bad guy - good guy war. This was imperialism; all of the countries wanted to control each other and were ruthless in doing so. The lack of perspective from the central powers makes no sense at all.

There was such humanity during the war as well. A lot of the people fought to represent their country but found that they were only pawns in a huge scheme to expand their countries empires. There was no mention of the Christmas truce, one of the most emotional and memorable moments of the war.

There was no story - it is such a disappointment that they did what they did. DICE had the chance to teach of the war, share a narrative that wasn't seen otherwise... but they blew it.

[QUOTE=Wafflemonstr;51678713]Nobody wants a sob story from the view point of the enemy sorry. Even if men such as his grandfather were innocent pawns of the figureheads of their given countries, the fact of the matter is that portraying the German and Austrian armies as as anything but an evil force is counterproductive.

You can beat around the bush and say "ohh but Germany was just aiding their ally!!!" but, considering just forty years prior Germany had pestered France into a war and took "German" land, and just shortly before even that, attacked Denmark and took "German" land, it doesn't take a genius to realise that maybe they weren't just innocently and begrudgingly helping their ally with no ulterior motives.

Also, just to clear it up, I enjoyed the video, he is a good orator and the story is interesting, but I completely disagree with him.[/QUOTE]

You have a really low cognitive complexity.

You know wars can be won other ways than totally annihilating your opponents, right? Also that empathetic thinking can prevent wars in the first place, and help us to understand why they happened at all.
