Would probably be too long for a tutorial, but it would be cool for the beginning of a story, to help you connect to some of the characters

Because it's not a fun thing to do? Lee Ermey was fun to watch, that's what makes that movie good.

part of the charm of DIs is their ability to improv. except when you see it in a game over and over again it becomes stale. that's why Full Metal Jacket is now ironically funny, because we've seen it a million times now that we know the lines. Like "square your ass away and start shitting me Tiffany cufflinks". I'm just not sure how that would work in a game setting, unless you have someone record hundreds and hundreds of lines and randomize them each time you play so no one player gets the same experience.

There was one game a long time ago where you had to do basic training. It was so long and boring.

Done right, I would try again.

Part of the point of military shooters is to act as propaganda for the military. Showing basic training would work against that as it's pretty hard to depict in a positive light.

"America's army" did this. You had to pass basic before being able to go online. IIRC there was even a paper test.

I don't think doing pushups is either entertaining or useful as a tutorial for a game about shooting people.

Unless you make a whole game about basic training it's probably better off glossed over.

LMAO you have 0 knowledge of game design and it shows

obviously youre not going to do fucking push-ups.

youre gonna do every type of control and movement the game offers, but transformed into a DI basic training

This is about the FMJ inspection scene. Don't change the subject.

I don't think it we would be that hard to depict in a positive light, but also they wouldn't necessarily need to because most military shooters are not govt propaganda, lol
