Played a chunk of the finally released Overgrowth - I like it! The story's neat and the freeform running around and fighting other animals is pretty neat, they give you some decent challenges like trying to fight a ninja cat on a boat.  I mean just look at this motherfucker!

Would it make me a dumb person if I bought Wolfenstein II on release day (even though I would get to it for awhile) because I want to tell Bethesda with my wallet that I approve of them taunting actual Nazis?

It's more a matter of waiting for it to get cheap or get it now in hopes that it adds to it selling well enough that it encourages other game companies to openly mock White Supremacists as a marketing strategy. I probably still won't do it because I haven't even played New Order yet (though I have it) but it was just something my tired mind was thinking of doing at 3 in the morning.

I started playing New Order on November 9, 2016, which offered some catharsis. I don't know how much it will help a year later

Not all white people are Nazis, but a majority of white people did not consider Nazi rhetoric a deal breaker. I am of course referring to the people in the fictional world of Wolfenstein, a video game, in the video game chat thread

Bethsoft really are embracing the unintentional political statement they've created here. Good on them for it I guess but boy I really would like to know if it's a good game or not, and not their stance on nazis, because something tells me I already am aware of how they feel about them

It's funny when people who insist that they aren't in fact Nazis but [enter an euphemism here] get somehow offended that somebody said they want to kill actual Nazis.

It's still hilarious that it brought the 'keep politics out of my games' dumbasses out of the works.

I want it to be a fun game first and a political statement second, they can tell me nazis are bad over and over all goddamn day if I'm enjoying playing it. Thankfully the first game was pretty okay at doing that.

I am certain Bethesda had zero intention of Wolfenstein ever being a political statement. "Nazis are bad" should not be something that is even remotely controversial in the year 2017 but then Trump happened. The game would of had to be in development way before the alt-right creeped out of the woodwork. No way did they make the whole thing in less than 2 years.

It’s hilarious to me how a decades old series can gain a huge viral boost through political relevance by doing exactly the same thing it’s been doing since the 80s

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-10-06-bethesda-were-not-afraid-of-being-openly-anti-nazi This is the article A. Beaverhausen is talking about, or at least about the same subject, it's an interesting look at how PR has much more sway over how a game comes across to its audience than people give them credit for. corn in the bible posted:nazis are bad is not a political agenda It actually is more of a political agenda now than it has been in the past like 60 years, sorry. "Actually nazis are bad" is going to be around for a while so get used to it CJacobs fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Oct 19, 2017 |

"nazis are bad" is a political agenda as a subset of the fact that even having common loving sense is something half (at least) of the voting population doesn't have

I trust Machine Games to make a good FPS. Also if you have a problem with a game having you kill pixel Nazis from Nazi Germany with swastikas on their foreheads then your opinion that this is political doesn't really matter to me.

I like playing video games. I think all of these different editions and lootboxes and things which cause ire in consumers will probably lead to another video game crash, but I cannot be certain. It is just a gut feeling. Also I think Wolfenstein is fun and have no problem with their campaign because it is humorous and relevant to the time we are living in. I am also enjoy Star Trek Discovery and the Witcher 3 very very much! Last night I was able to play for about forty minutes. I went from the blacksmith place in White Orchard up to the castle bit via way of the river. I met a lot of enemies and got a little more used to the combat. Talking to that guy in charge was awesome because most games would have made him a leader who was mean and wanted only money. When he said "I'm not an excellency, see my calluses" and then asked for only thirty bushels instead of the forty that the farmer panickingly offered, that made me smile and really appreciate the writing. Then, when he schooled Geralt with the idioms line, I was delighted!

You know thinking about it the finale of P5 is so similar to TWEWY it’s eerie A god is playing a game using people as proxies to determine whether the world/Shibuya should be preserved or destroyed. Said god turns out to be an ally of the player’s. One element of the plan is turning the humans of the world into mindless drones in order to achieve a peaceful world. Despite the player ”winning” the god goes back on what the player’s victory was supposed to stand for. They even wake up in the same crossing!

I like games where I kill Nazis so I'm glad I get to kill more Nazis, since if anything they're a much more acceptable target than most other human enemies. We have video games about Vietnam or the various wars in the Middle East and those are both a lot more questionable than "Killing the German Nazis from WW2 After They Won WW2 and Took Over America" I imagine a lot of the backlash is the marketing itself, i.e. embracing 'punch a nazi'. Arguments online usually stem over whether people say 'Nazi' to actually mean 'Anyone that disagrees with me politically', and sometimes over whether political violence is justified period. So the ad campaign can be perceived to support real-life violence that people do not agree with. Personally I don't give a poo poo and I won't buy the game at release as some sort of half-assed political statement, nor avoid the game as some sort of half-assed political statement, but will buy the game on a deep discount after I beat TNO and feel like playing another FPS.

Despite loving both games I didn't notice that at all. Also, god drat I love TWEWY. It's probably for the best it never got a sequel, but drat is it a good game. The whole "control two characters on two different screens" thing seemed like a huge pain when I first heard about it but it ended up being extremely fun.

Aaaaand that's Breath of the Wild finished. All shrines, all divine beasts, all inventory slots unlocked. 120 hours, apparently. Obviously plenty of sidequests or weapon upgrades left, but that's a good enough run I'd say. While my enjoyment certainly waxed and waned at various points (usually tied to limitations from equipment or stamina), overall I loved the game a lot. Usually I am bored to tears from exploring huge open worlds, but I (in time) was able to get into a pretty good rhythm with BOTW where I could bounce back and forth between seeing points of interest on the mapping, find stuff along the way to said points, and then repeat. It was therapeutic in a way. Not sure how I'd rank it compared to other Zelda games because it is so different, but it's definitely deserving of the praise it got IMO. Now to (hopefully) finish Samus Returns in time for Mario Odyssey.
