They knew fully well what it meant and more than half the population knew about the extermination camps as well. A popular and widespread phrase to hurl at uppity Jews at the time was, "Take care, otherwise you'll go up the chimney."

Welp. The marketing worked on me. I've been vaguely wanting to try the last Wolfenstein game but hadn't bothered.

But if real life Nazis hate it, I'm gonna love it.

Yeah, a lot of work was done in the post-war years to paper over the complicity of the German people in Nazi crimes, because everyone needed to band together against the Soviet/capitalist menace. It's the same reason the "Clean Wehrmacht" myth has been so prevalent, when it's laughably untrue. Should be said that Germany isn't alone in this post-war rewriting of history; the idea of "The Resistance" being representative of the people in general was also something that was just decided on post-war. In some cases, the majority even went so far as to claim that the actual resisters had been cooperators, otherwise how could they have done what no one else had been able to? A transparent attempt to obscure the fact that they failed to resist where others did not.

Yeah, there were a few games on my consideration list for this month but Wolf2 jumped to the top after their ad campaign and all the crybaby reactions to it.

That and I really liked the previous game, and this one looks even better.

so the most recent Wolfenstein game is really good. But it is very much an older philosophy of FPS. There are health pickups and you don't regenerate to full health, just up to like the nearest 25 or something. If you keep that in mind, you'll enjoy it.

the game is sick

The only frustrating part of The New Order is having to manually pick up every piece of ammo, health, and armor that ends up on the floor. The sequel is changing that at least.

I don't mind having to pick up armor and like how it added to the franticness of a gunfight but picking up clips one at a time is a line too far

My PS4 hard drive had to be reformatted (long and boring story) and I forgot to upload to the cloud, so I don't have a Wolfenstein save ready to go.

I think you just tell the game which choice you made at the beginning and it is used.

They started off with fairly normal advertising, but alt-right weirdos kept spamming the videos with "uhh you ever think maybe nazis good?" type stuff, so I think they just decided gently caress it and ran with it.

It is a game about killing Nazis, in a series that has been wholly about killing Nazis for like twenty loving years.

How are morons having conniptions about the poor misunderstood Nazis now?

The internet was a mistake; though I'm really not sure if people were always this stupid and it's just really obvious now or if something happened along the way.

speaking of deepthroating hitler with old glory. he is actualy mentioned in this. watching the various videos. news paper articles and characters refer directly about him. so that early leak from anyas actress might be true.

I mean, this is Alternate History Nazi Sci-fi where there was an underground Jewish Atlantis full of ancient technology, but didn't Hitler die in Wolf3D?

But again, alternate history and sci-fi and zombies so there's probably like a Zombie Hitler Roboclone or some poo poo.

Honestly you shouldn't get too worked up on the canon of Wolfenstein. The wolf 3d games are referenced in the new ones, and if we take wolf 09 as canon with New Order onwards, then wolf 3d did happen because 09 references spear of destiny.
