One of the more poignant parts of the War Story |
The following post is part of a series of posts that are published every Sunday to update readers on what Mark G has been up to with respect to finishing off games on his "Pile of Shame". The games to target are picked by Choicest Games contributors Choona, Luke and myself. As I'll be talking about my progress through these games, there may be spoilers ahead, especially for games containing a narrative. Consider yourself warned.

(For those who are curious and can't be bothered watching the video, I basically scaled back the graphics settings to Medium, turned off DX12, turned on Future Frame Rendering and turned on GPU memory restriction)
I also finally got around to playing the war story "The Last Tiger". It's shorter than the other War Stories (it took me about an hour to complete). I can see why Battlefield fans liked this one. It shows a German tank crew's story towards the end of the war and the ethical dilemmas faced by the tank commander where he has to choose the right course of action that ensures he stays true to himself, true to his soldiers and true to his country; focusing to fulfill one cause often results in disastrous consequences for the others. The War Story finished with a quote by Alice Sebold and while I'm not sure her original quote had the barbarity of war as its context, it was still apt, and it reminded me of the movie "Downfall" where it attempts to show that Hitler was a human, not a monster, and that is truly the scariest thing of all: we all have the capacity to become monsters and it's not that hard.
