Dictators in video games

in #game5 years ago

 When you want to have fun, we plunge into the virtual world, a world that only at first glance seems harmless. In fact, this world is filled with violence, horror and malice. Here all human vices are exposed and elevated to the absolute. One of which is megalomania. Inherent in odious dictators, thirsting for world domination and absolute power over each and every one. The essence of these rulers is treacherous and cruel, they will stop at nothing to reach the goal, no matter how many lives they would have cost.


Adolf Hitler (Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus)



Actors. Masters of deception and reincarnation. Spies are famous for the same. Perhaps there was a spy among you? I assume everyone read my book?


The twentieth century, the century of bloody warrior, mass genocides, and terrible empires. One such evil empire can rightly be considered the Third Reich, the founder of which was Adolf Hitler. And if, in our history, the Allies managed to destroy the Third Reich by common efforts, then in the universe of Wolfenstein games the Nazis managed to capture the whole world, and even enslave the former allies - Italy.


For the first time Adolf Ailoyzovich appeared in the original “Wolfenstein 3D”, where he was presented as a final boss armed with two miniguns. In the restart of the series "Wolfenstein: The New Order", you can learn about Adolf only from the collected records, he does not appear anywhere in the game itself. But now in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Adolf is a full-fledged secondary character who suffers from senility, incontinence, and persecution mania. But this does not prevent him from working as a film producer and making propaganda films.


Adolf was an inveterate racist, he believed that only the Aryan race, well, and its other subspecies like the Volksdeutsch, should rule the world as representatives of a proper civilization and culture. So it is obvious that all those who were not “chosen” had to rot in the concentration camps, or be completely destroyed. The only ones who could still cohabit with the Aryans are collaborators, such as representatives of the Ku Klux Klan organization. But they also had a number of responsibilities for not fulfilling which it was possible to incur a serious punishment, such as not knowing German at the media level.


It is natural that throughout the world both mass uprisings and single resistances flared up. The dictatorial regime of Hitler contributed to the development of global terrorism, besides this appeared the usual maniacs who hunted ordinary citizens of the Reich. Just like the maniac from Mala Vesi, who was active in the fifties in Poland.


In a world where evil was struggling with evil, it was difficult to lead a normal life.

But this did not prevent the Nazis from mastering the Moon, building a base on Venus, making a breakthrough in medicine and other scientific fields. And this is taking into account that many of the achievements of Nazi scientists occurred after the death of the main criminal scientist - Strasse. Giant robots, flying saucers, robots, dogs, tanks, walkers and other futuristic military equipment instilled horror in the hearts of opponents of the Reich. So "London Observer" - a huge walking robot, just a few hours completely destroyed the defenders of London, smearing the poor soldiers through the streets of the city.


Crimes against humanity, moral decline, the use of nuclear weapons, the development of terrorism, the forced siphoning of the natural resources of other countries. All these factors make Adolf Hitler a criminal, and his regime is disastrous for the whole world.


Donald Modern (Metal Slug)



Once the admiral of the regular army, Donald, was devoted to his government and had great authority among his subordinates. Until his son died in the terrorist attack, which


simply “missed” and maybe reconfigured intelligence. Corruption, negligence, and then the death of a loved one forced the admiral to take tough measures. Since 2020, a rebel army has been operating around the world, which seized military bases along with weapons and equipment from the world government. Donald decided to join the rebels along with his like-minded people from the regular army. So in 2025, he organized an attempt to seize the President of the United States, which was not crowned with success.


In 2026, a regular model of the tank, the Super Vehicle 001, entered into service with the regular troops. The rebels could not miss this opportunity and were able to capture several prototypes.

In 2028, a full-scale war breaks out that will last until 2032. And will lead to the defeat of the rebel forces.


First of all, you need to understand that Donald is a sort of hodgepodge parody of the famous dictators of the twentieth century. This comrade born in 1973, though a Canadian citizen, looks a lot like the Iraqi dictator - Saddam Hussein dressed in Nazi uniform, with the appropriate symbolism. The situations in which he falls are rather uncommon. So he was treacherously abducted by aliens with whom he made an alliance and tried to take over the world. The aliens were serious opponents, so his soldiers had to unite along with the enemy PF and S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S detachments in order to free their hapless leader.


Donald, though a caricature dictator, but for such a comedic sabzh he has quite a reasonable story why he decided to become a world dictator.


Wallace Breen (Half Life 2)


Welcome! Welcome to City 17. You yourself chose it, or you chose it for you - this is the best city from the rest. I have such a high opinion of the City of 17 that I decided to place my government here in the Citadel, so carefully provided by our Patrons. I am proud to call City 17 my home. Welcome! Welcome to City 17.


After the events at the Black Mesa research center, the line between the worlds of Earth and Xena was completely erased, and troops of alien invaders poured into the Earth from the portal, who in just seven hours broke the resistance of earthlings. Then, having occupied almost the entire Earth, the newcomers from the Alliance Empire began to build observation towers - the “citadel”. Most of the population was driven into prison cities, in the center of which were these very “citadels”.


Dr. Bryn, the former administrator of the Black Mesa, becoming the temporary administrator of the Earth, became a puppet in the hands of the Alliance. It so happened that the world dictator submitted to another, already alien dictatorship. His workplace was the City-17, where he commanded troops from his "citadel", conducted reports, and spoke from huge monitors to the population of the city. Telling them how beautiful life is under the new rulers. Definitely not a bad person to call Bryn, if you think he didn’t have a choice, because the Earthlings had lost so much. Although another question arises here, did Bryn himself not let the newcomers in exchange for absolute power?


As for the dictatorship, aliens are very sophisticated approach to this issue. In addition to the banal humiliations that could be encountered by an ordinary citizen of the city, other equally awful trials awaited him. In all cities, special barriers were installed, these devices reduced people's reproductive function, from which subsequent generations could simply not appear. In the cities there were no children survived after the war, because they were taken away from their parents and systematically destroyed. Ordinary citizens could also grab and take away to the “Citadel”, where the unfortunate turned into “Stalkers” - living dead, endlessly in pain, with completely depressed intelligence and will.


Punished citizens and for the lack of denunciations. So punitive could walk through the whole area, beating and raping the poor residents, for the fact that they are not too zealous to write to each other. Beatings could be for minor reasons. So if you get too close to the Alliance soldier, or do not fulfill his order to raise the bank, the bastard immediately raised his club, after which a couple of bruises were incredible luck.


Citizens lived in houses in which there was no electricity, no running water, or even elementary heating. It was also possible to forget about medicine if a person fell ill, the only thing he could hope for was his own immunity.


Terror, monstrous experiments, lack of civilized goods, total control and humiliation on the part of the Alliance guards. They create the most terrible mode that could exist on Earth. And Dr. Bryn becomes the main traitor and "six" of all mankind.


Pahan Min (Far Cry 4)



Memories ... The last time I saw Ishwari ten years ago. She said that he loves. Women will tell you that they love at the same time, but men are not so ... Men are strong with their back mind ... Only when it is too late.


Kyrat is a poor state inhabited by an illiterate people who have been beating each other for many years in a protracted civil war. The reason for which was the murder of the royal family, local radical nationalists. The difficult situation in the country was taken advantage of by the Chinese mafia Pahang Ming, he, along with his sister Yuma Lau and the personal army of mercenaries, equipped themselves in this country in order to bring "prosperity." Having established himself in power, Pagan began the production and export of drugs abroad. The civilian population itself was exploited in every way, being used as a cheap worker's raw material. Such an alignment was arranged by Peigan, endowed with absolute power, he could do whatever he pleases. So, Pagan first invited a representative of the charitable organization Nur Nadzhar and her family to a presentation, and then took hostage her husband and two sons, forcing poor Nur to work in the “Mortal Arena”.


Naturally, such an alignment did not suit all the Kyratians, and soon the resistance called the “Golden Path” was organized. This was the cause of another protracted civil war, where both sides did not disdain with different methods of destroying each other, from which a simple, peaceful population suffered even more. They fought against the “Golden Path”, both simple mercenaries and “hunters”, who can summon animals on the battlefield. It was therefore not surprising that a tiger or a huge eagle attacking the rebels could appear on the battlefield. But the rebels also used elephants as living “tanks” that could simply trample Peygun's soldiers.


But the dictator was not alien and amorous affairs. Ishwari, the wife of the rebel leader Mohan Gale, decided to gain confidence in Peygan as his servant. She was supposed to merge secret information to the rebels, but Pagan saw through Ishwari's plans, and instead of being executed, he started messing up an affair with her, after which Ishvari betrayed her husband and her daughter Lakshmana was born. Mohan found out about the betrayal and brutally killed the child, cutting off the girl’s head, and then tried to kill Ishwari. But he died from her hands. A heartbroken woman takes her eldest son and leaves for the States. And Pagan creams the girl by placing the ashes in an urn which will be located in a small temple. And though Pagan survived the shock after the death of his child, he continued to rule the state and even had several twins, since the rebels tried to make an attempt on his life more than once.


Pagan Min is an example of a dictator businessman who earns substantial money by exploiting a whole state. As a person, he is a very specific person, but such concepts as love, grief, regret, and even repentance are not alien to him.


King Logan (Fable III)

The price of production is higher than human suffering.

After the death of the king, Albion inherited the throne on the rule of the state of Albion. At first, Logan, being an authoritarian ruler, was loyal to his own people. But that all changed after the expedition in the mysterious land of Aurora. There, during the exploration of the ruins, Logan's entire expeditionary corps fell against dark entities. Logan miraculously managed to escape thanks to the leader of the Aurorians - Keylin. For his salvation, Logan promised that he would send troops to strengthen the position of the Aurorians in the fight against evil. But after returning home, he learns the most unpleasant news, Teresa - a well-known clairvoyant, warns the king about the advancing forces of the forces of darkness. And Logan has only five years to prepare for the coming battle.


After such news, Logan became a real tyrant and despot, fully exploiting the population of his own country. It is not surprising, to fight with such a strong opponent you need to properly prepare. But people were not satisfied with this situation, the workers who plowed on three shifts at the factories rebelled, riots broke out among the working class everywhere in the country. Which very quickly suppressed by the forces of the royal army.


Logan would continue to punish the rioters, at the same time increasing military power, but failure awaited him. Another, already younger, heir to the throne organized a revolution, gathering around him all strata of the population. Even Kailin joined her revolutionary movement, who promised to help her in return for military assistance from the leader of the revolution. After bloody street battles, and numerous casualties among the civilian population. Logan's regime fell, and the king himself was captured by revolutionaries, who did not think long about what to do with the former ruler.


Logan is a bloody dictator of captivity, his abuse of power was part of the plan to save Albion. For the harsh times require harsh measures.


Aiden Kron (TimeShift)


Your lack of understanding and attempts to resist have caused an escalation of the situation. We will be forced to execute all prisoners of war. If you do not stop the senseless bloodshed you will suffer the same fate. Time is short!


Travelers in time are different, some are trying to return to the future, others are witnessing the emergence of new human-like races. And there are those who are sent to the past in order to capture the world and rewrite history. One of these temporary usurpers was Aiden Kron, a scientist who worked on a suit that allows time travel.


What was the reason for such a craving for power remains a mystery. But Kron at the first opportunity mined the laboratory, selected a secret suit and went into the past. Namely, in the twentieth century, where he managed to seize the world and establish his headquarters in central London, from where he commanded his numerous army, was engaged in development and conducted other political activities. Under his rule, the level of technology has greatly increased, people learned to use laser weapons, mastered jet planes, and were even able to manage time using special suits.


The regime established by the Kron is a banal mixture of the USSR and the Third Reich. The soldiers serving Krona represent such futuristic Wehrmacht attack aircraft, while Kron himself wears a gray-green military tunic with a raised collar and large buttons, as well as riding breeches with tarpaulin boots. London with its regime completely transformed in architectural terms, becoming like a gloomy futuristic city, in the style of art deco. On the gray walls of which propaganda posters of soft pastel tones were clearly distinguished.


Ordinary citizens were not satisfied with the established regime, this resulted in a reluctance to register and work in labor camps. In 1939, an uprising thundered in London, joined by another time traveler - Michael Swift. Wearing a temporary suit, he arrived from the same time as Kron, but was a little late and found Kron the ruler of the Earth. Mike had personal reasons to kill Crohn, in addition to being a flat villain, Aiden killed Michael's beloved who worked at the temporary costume science center. Michael joined the uprising, destroyed a couple of thousand Aiden soldiers, blew up his factory, freed most of the prisoners, and then completely killed Kron himself with an accurate shot to the head.


Nasty and cynical ruler, who decided to rebuild the world for themselves. A tyrant carrying development and technology, but at the same time driving people into labor slavery. Forcing those to take up arms and win their freedom.
