The concept of Homefront is still deeply offensive to me.
The North Korean people don't deserve to be demonized in such a way as this series has portrayed them. The North Korean caricatures from the first game (yes, I know it was a different studio) were just awful. They were shown as inhuman monsters.
The regime is most definitely a corrupt group of assholes, but the North Korean people are victims; we shouldn't be looking at them as some kind of threat. :(-
It seems like a weird choice for an enemy. Sure the regime is evil; the country is so backwater that there is no way they could become a threat on par with Nazi Germany.

Yeah I know. I personally wish it was some invented group or aliens. I'm not a big fan of slaughtering people just because of their nationality is the evil flavor of the month.

They fight back, but they are dehumanized monsters.

It's a game that demonizes a victimized people.
Homefront is the ultimate expression of Yellow Peril.

I love the Red Dawn feel of these kind of games like Freedom Fighters. However Homefront was a steaming pile of dog shit, fuck this sequel so hard. I will only try this game when it becomes a bargain basement sale for $1.99.
I don't give a shit that it's a different developer that fucking title will forever tainted.
