(12,041 posts)While there certainly are militaristic games like Call of Duty out there, there are also a good number of games that are quite critical of militarism as well. Many people don't realize it but the Grand Theft Auto series is actually satire and it mocks American militarism, the Bioshock series may be shooters but they are very focused on social commentary that is most certainly not militaristic. Even some games that appear militaristic at first glance such as the Metal Gear Solid series actually contain anti-war messages in the story.
I play games and I hate guns in the real world. Many of the games I play do have guns in them, but few if any of them could be accurately described as militaristic. I avoid games like Call of Duty and Battlefield, but there are lots of games even within the shooter genre that do involve the aliens or demons as you mentioned rather than military targets.
