I love the game overall, but I got to these chapters and was quite disappointed to see the atypical approach to children in video games.
"It doesn't matter what kind of horrible imagery we show you, you can NEVER EVER HARM A CHILD!"
Miller: Boss you killed a CHILD! I'm aborting the mission!
No, just no.
For a game about running living behind a gun, killing thousands of Soviets, Africans and building up an organisation solely dedicated to invoking war "just because that's who we are" AND building nuclear weapons etc it sure does go nancy suddenly, just because I shoot a child who's got no issue with putting ME down.
Who is Miller to judge when he's the one encouraging all this war and death solely for revenge....
For a series about the reality of war, philosophy and moral decisions, it sure does cop out completely at this point. It's not that I want to kill kids, but on top of it being a video game and it's context....Do they really think shooting them back in self defense is oh so terrible?
Plus I'm the BOSS. Not you Miller. I decide when to abort. Mr. I won't wear a prosthetic limb as am excuse to wuss out of combat. Pain to ensure you don't forget MY ASS!
