Campaign 1: Hammer Battalion, Battle 5 - Sabaton vs Arwen


Sabaton. Sa-ba-ton! Sa-ba-ton! Sa-ba-ton!


Arwen. Oddly enough, elves don't seem to fare particularly well in the CHEESEVIVÖR...

I actually think that is Arwen's best song yet. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't take their music To Hell and Back!
 
I thought the Sabaton video was in bad taste. I have no problem with the song, and I understand the story behind the video, but it all feels gratuitious. Some of the shots, like the guy putting a gun in his own mouth, cross the line into shock for shock's sake. Telling a story is one thing. Parading depression like a circus sideshow isn't storytelling, it's exploitation.

Of course, this is Cheese. So it's supposed to be bad taste and over the line, and it's great for this game. Outside of this game, that video is something to be ashamed of.
 
I don't think it's that shocking. Combat veterans are at extremely high suicide risk, especially if they don't get mental health upon their return. We should be shocked by that, not by being shown that.
 
Agreed, but their depiction was far more fantasy than reality. That's what I don't like - it is a serious thing, and they're using it as an excuse for an extreme video.
 
You have a 5 minute video, it can hardly tell the story in a loving, in-depth fashion. Maybe with a master storyteller.

The other thing to remember is that these guys are Swedish. They haven't brought people home from war in 200 years.
 
If I had any complaint about the video it's that it's a slightly dramatic, stereotyped depiction of a breakdown.
