G.I. GO HOME: Vietnam games

Why isn't there alot of mainstream Vietnam games? There's Rising Storm 2 but that's only on PC. I'm talking about AAA games like Black OPs (even though it's technically about the cold war in the 60s).

Because most people don't want to play as loser.

It's called the forgotten war for a reason, user. People in the war don't want to talk about it. People who weren't in the war don't want to remember it. A few games have been made for it, but didn't sell as well as World War II game #742.

>forgotten war
That's Korea

bad company vietnam was the shit

Because the gooks destroyed the cumskins so they don't want to be reminded of that.

You could play as the vietcong; planting landmines in the rice fields; you could hide in the tunnels, and tell G.I. to go home

Imagine a VC game where you have to set up defenses RTS style and then survive waves of muhreens with you and your buddies commanding individual soldiers FPS style. You have to set up tunnels for safe passage across the battlefield and for ambush purposes, various traps for ground infantry, landmines and blockades for vehicles, AA emplacements for later wave napalm strikes and helicopter deep strikes, and traps in the tunnel for later wave tunnel rats.

that's actually a good idea

Vietnam is a interesting conflict but there isn't enough variety to make a lot of games entirely about it, vietnam games are good if you want to play a game that doesn't involve WW2 or modern warfare for once but it can't be overused like those two.
Now, the real question is why there aren't that many cold war gone hot games.

Literally Anitmatter's next game. Brit Commandos against Russian conscripts.

because the companies that make them tend to get gobbled up or dissolved to make way for the publisher's favourite competitor

He forgot.

Because all media is made by Jews and Jews had no stake in Vietnam. They were against it.
If you want to play war, you will shoot Nazis or towelheads and you will like it, goy!

this unironically
they could do some cool shit with vietnam but instead we get ww2 game #176357836 and modern military shooter #89729826389

I'd really like a Korean War game. Lots of interesting weapons and scenarios and it's all untouched territory.

Left 4 Dead style multiplayer where a director spawns the gook hordes while small teams of GI in first person have to hold them back or advance to take objectives depending on map/mode. Instead of spawning special zombies, you get to spawn jungle traps/rat tunnels that spawn spec ops gooks etc.

I think eventually we'll get one, but it seems like devs have a lot of trouble making a vietnam game that is good and handles the war the best way possible. Videogames want to go the whole honor and valor route with war vidya and that's gonna be impossible for a Vietnam game. A lot of smaller budget games have tried but they just end up being "oh so edgy and dark bro" type of shit like the trash that was Shellshock: Nam '67.

Because most war games are made in the US and the US got its ass handed to it in Vietnam. People like WW2 games because it fits the narrative that their country is the glorious savior of the free world.

I want a game based on conflicts during the late 70's and 80s. like Africa.

Play Heart of Evil HL mod

Black Ops 2 went into that very briefly iirc, but I agree that a full game about that era would be interesting. Either that or Rhodesia.

Because it was an exceptionally shitty war where we threw away soldiers to take a hill and just let the Cong have it right back afterwards. Maybe you could focus on making a multiplayer, but you're not going to get a very rewarding campaign out of that mess without making the war itself a backdrop ala Apocalypse Now.

Except that the American and South Vietnamese coalition forces won almost every military engagement in the war. The Tet Offensive failed and the North Vietnamese Army was pushed well back into North Vietnam. The Vietcong was nearly eradicated though small insurgencies still remained due to being reinforced and resupplied via the Ho Chi Mihn trail running through neighboring countries like Cambodia. America left because there was no way to win the war without completely invading N. Vietnam and pushing all the way to the Chinese border, who looked like they might get involved in the conflict if America did that.

The USA "lost" the Vietnam war because they failed their two main objectives when they left. Prevent the fall of South Vietnam and prevent the spread of Communism in south-east Asia. Militarily, the war was won, politically, socially it was lost and therefor a prolonged conflict was not sustainable.
