What are some games that capture the horror of war?

>Chechen: Alik, while you still have the chance, won't you maybe please pull your guys back somehow?
>Chechen: Alik, don't do this thing. You won't make it out alive. You will die and I will die, and to what end? Please understand, who will benefit? Not you or I.
>Chechen: Dont you get it? In combat nor you nor I will show mercy, right? Better come visit me as a guest, Alik. Pull your guys back, you don't have to do this Alik...give the order.
>Tank commander: I'm not authorized to make that kind of a decision.
>Chechen: Alik, please understand....from the bottom of my heart, I really want you to live. So it's best that you leave.
>Tank commander: I don't have that option. I have my orders and I will carry them out no matter what.
Anyone? I know of This War of Mine but is there anything else?
Red Orchestra can get pretty heavy at some points, particularly when an MG is supressing your position.

>>323943590
Haven't tried it myself. Dunno if it has that atmosphere I'm looking for...
>>323943296
I want to be hyped but I'm not. I didn't like Rising Storm. I played RO for the industrial maps with amazingly detailed interiors that encouraged room to room fighting, that slow slog to victory.
>>323941339
Red Orchestra 2 is probably your safest bet.
There's hundreds of lines of characters whining, moaning, yelling, screaming insults/pain and so on. Final stands in the objective are pretty intense when your teamate gets dropped and gurgles blood for a few minutes or whimpers to mum. The Jap VAs do a really great job, very enthusiastic sounding, and their death screams from flamethrowers are electrifying.
>>323942430
This shit bothers me. I can't even shoot people when they are reviving their buddies in online games. I just can't shoot the medic, It always makes me feel like a piece of shit.

Killing a noncombatant field medic is against the geneva conventions and to me is morally wrong. I'll take that court marshall in stride asshole, my soul is worth more to me than what my superiors think
>When the Russians besieged the Chechen capital, thousands of civilians died from a week-long series of air raids and artillery bombardments in the heaviest bombing campaign in Europe since the destruction of Dresden. The initial assault on New Year's Eve 1995 ended in a major Russian defeat, resulting in heavy casualties and at first nearly a complete breakdown of morale in the Russian forces.
>>323945893
As a former hospital corpsman, I can tell you first hand that I was a combatant; I lit up more than my fair share of sandniggers.
I've even fired up civilians trying to drag wounded tangos to safety or pick up weapons.
They've done to same to me.
War is hell, brah.

>The film was shot in chronological order over a period of nine months. Aleksey Kravchenko says that he underwent "the most debilitating fatigue and hunger. I kept a most severe diet, and after the filming was over I returned to school not only thin, but grey-haired." The 2006 UK DVD sleeve states that the guns in the film were often loaded with live ammunition as opposed to blanks, for realism. Aleksey Kravchenko mentions in interviews that bullets sometimes passed just 4 inches (10 centimeters) above his head (such as in the cow scene).

>>323947887
Right? That's not something to be proud of. Who comes into this thread and admits to being the fucking scum of the earth. We should learn from all of this and not repeat the same mistakes but instead "lol i shot civies helping wounded tangos because they were ragheads and im so edgy" Seriously, fuck that guy.
I feel like we're lacking games that actually capture the horrors of war
We have plenty of games that have great battles where one or two sad things happen like one of your allies gargling after taking a bullet in Red Orchestra. But no games where it actually feels like you're fucking a long drawn out war or feeling the after effects of your battles. This War of Mine was pretty good for it but that's all I can think of

Sometimes I like to think of the guys in the squad I'm leading in Arma/PR/Squad as being truly dead when they die in the game just to make things more interesting.
Works better in Arma when it's a long mission with no respawns, but it still helps me reflect on my fuck ups in other games too.

Geneva is more of agreement along the lines of "You don't do the nasty stuff, and I won't do it either, alright?". On a large scale, Geneva works. Gas attacks, mass executions of POW, operations in enemy uniforms and all the other dirty tricks are for the most part not used by conventional armies.
There will always be tons of small violations, but nobody really dares to break it big time because then the other side would also play dirty.

>The ground operation was conducted by D Squadron, 22 Regiment Special Air Service—who assaulted Gberi Bana in a bid to extract the Royal Irish—and elements of 1st Battalion, Parachute Regiment (1 PARA), who launched a diversionary assault on Magbeni. The operation freed the five soldiers as well as twenty-one Sierra Leonean civilians who had been held prisoner by the West Side Boys. At least twenty-five West Side Boys were killed in the assault, as was one British soldier, while eighteen West Side Boys—including the gang's leader, Foday Kallay—were taken prisoner and later transferred to the custody of the Sierra Leone Police. Many West Side Boys fled the area during the assault, and over 300 surrendered to UNAMSIL forces within a fortnight.

I really want some sort of a game where you take a role of a simple soldier and survivor in a middle of some immensely violent and horrifying conflict who sees enough shit for multiple lifetimes but endures and presses forward. Not even necessarily set in our world, just without too much of stupid magical or sci-fi elements, maybe with some unique and distinctive technology.

I'm arguing that both are based on the same thinking.

I dunno, I enjoy war games but a game that would truly simulate the horrors of war sounds like a test of willpower than a game.
My family is German, and my grandmother was in Dresden when it was firebombed. The few stories she's told me about the event make me glad I have never even had to worry about experiencing that. She said the bodies were piled over the surface of the water in the Elbe river from people trying to put themselves out. She lost a few brothers to Russian prison camps. Her father some how survived the Russian prison camps.
My great grandfather refused to join the Nazis. He was a free thinker and communist and he and a buddy were thrown into a prison camp not too long after the war started. Eventually he was given the choice to join the army and fight or to rot in the camp. He chose to join cuz he had a family to feed but his buddy didn't so he stayed in prison. My great grand father became an engineer building bridges for tanks and shit. He told my grandmother about going to relieve someone on watch who was frozen holding their binoculars to their face. Sometime around Stalingrad he and some buddies said fuck the war, stole a kubelwagen, and started driving west to go home. They ran right into a Russian patrol and got captured. He survived siberia, somehow. Apparently the Russians were so poor that their officers didn't even have windows on their huts.
After the Russians took east Germany my grand mother ended up working for a local commissar cuz she knew how to type. She said the Russian soldiers spent all day riding the street cars up and down the streets cuz it was so new and high tech to them. They were a nation of peasants after all.
Not sure why you would want to have a near real experience like that but whatever. Most Americans romanticize war because they've never had to experience it on their own soil.
RO2 is pretty fun. I play it every so often for that big WWII feel that is absent from games now.

Because my neighbor is a fucking cunt
I've found a game called Gods Will be watching. It's a point and click puzzle game that revolves around moralistic choices in a sci-fi setting as the player watches over a space faring crew.
The noodly character designs look like the guys who did Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery EP.

Is that Syria? Doesn't look like an SAA tank, if that's Syria.

Man, the Volkssturm story was so fucking sad. I mean, war is tragic throughout, but at least there's some sort of end goal in sight. The only reason the Volkssturm died was because Hitler had an Ego the size of Russia and just felt like more Germans should die for no reason. It's tragic how one man's stubbornness can have such a huge effect on so many.

Gee I dunno. Was it being shot on sight by my superiors if I disobeyed any orders such as charging trough no man's land ? Was it that the soviets didn't have enough weapons and ammo so you might get aan empty pistol or rifle, just a knife, or only a bullet with no weapons to use it on ?
/r/ing that webm of a mortally wounded guy trying to light a cigarette, only to get shot up

Yemen. I believe that's a Saudi Abrams.
