![]() ![]() But again, it is definitely not propaganda and it's reasonably true to life. I think you've got some fair points that the dev and the game has a leftwards bent. ![]() Originally posted by Lord Dooley:when a game is a simulation, it should be more balanced and true to life than this is. I just want to establish a society similar to the vanu soverignty from Planetside 2 or the Space Marines from WH 40k. Belief in creationism may be gone, but belief in a god can easily remain.ĮDIT: I also want to point out that there's a good WTF video of Democracy 3 on youtube: watch?v=oRS5p60yX_E I think a more reasonable inference to make is that greater science education in the game results in a modification to people's understanding of their faith. That's both patently false in the game and in real life. Through your statement it seems to imply that your interpretation of the game's mechanics is that the absence of creationism is the abscence of religion. I'm only going to address the religion position briefly. Sure, the devs may not get the simulation correct in your opinion, or everyone's opinion, but it's not really propaganda, it's more like bad research (if anything.)Īnd again, I can't reiterate enough: You can alter the stats in a text file to suit the situation best. ![]() I disagree with OP because this is a game that explicilty deals with how multiple issues will affect one person's vote and that there are multiple sides to an argument. It's important that no one takes a game about society and thinks that it is society.Īnd in regards to OP's opinion about it being propaganda - that's a really interesting notion, but propaganda is about persuading an audience of something by only presenting one side of the argument. As stated above, if you think the starting values of a certain country are innacurate, you can change them in a text editor. It's a game and a fun way to try and simulate a democracy. Can somebody please convince me why I should overlook these rather blatant falsehoods and get the game? ![]() I'm sure there are more things but these are a few that I've seen so far. This is coming from a medical student/poli sci minor at Emory U. Sorry, but it's been proven time and time again that religion and science can coexist quite nicely. Then there's the final slap in the face: that raising funding to scientific programs practically eradicated creationism. I don't want to support propaganda so I will most likely not be purchasing the game unless there are ways to work around this, and even then, maybe not.) (I've based this review off of extensive research on the game. Keep your damn agenda out of the game, and keep it as a true-to-life simulation, and I will actually buy your product. The values for the US's spending, its debt level (A SURPLUS? REALLY.), it's political makeup (54% socialist but only 34% liberal? No.), it's apparently huge space program budget and the fact that military spending is apparently higher in this than social security/benefits/healthcare spending just continue to show that the creators of this game are crafting artificial conditions to lead you to liberal answers to simulated societal problems. Crime will go down as you de-criminalize things, that is common sense. The makers of this game appear to be pro-socialist and anti-religion, and they're just flat out factually incorrect in a lot of areas.įirst of all, organized crime goes up when you legalize drugs? That doesn't make any sense. ![]()
