veni veni veni posted:Wildlands is sort of stupid but it's scratching the right itch right now. Such a nice framework I wish the game was more compelling though. If you can get some friends to play with, it's the ultimate loving around game. As for Battle Royale, I could easily see Ubi doing this. Someone mentioned it elsewhere but Ubi says they're making a poo poo ton of money off the 'games as a service' model, so I suspect games like Wildlands, Division, R6, are going to be around a while. Wildlands would be a logical choice to include some sort of PUBG knockoff.

I'd switch from PUBG to Wildlands and it felt like the same game except 10 years in the future, and I'd get all excited until I processed that I was just shooting dopey AI waiting around to get shot in the head. Still seems like a killer deal at $20. I'm kind of excited to play more. I like crap like this. Hopefully the DLC isn't too good cause I didn't buy it. TG-Chrono posted:Sorry, thought there was confusion about the cracks cause I only stabbed those and made it to the main glyph no worries. I meant that in the case of the last Colossus, there are no minor sigils on his hands, and afaik that's the only place in the game that stabbing an unmarked spot has an effect. It was a goofy argument anyways. Don't worry about it. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Feb 13, 2018 |

Ubisoft walked back the whole white supremacist angle, or else it wasn't really there to begin with and they just played up the connotation for marketing purposes.

What else am I supposed to think about a cult of white people with American flags everywhere? Edit: I mean if they really did walk back from that it’s what I wondered before, if they didn’t have the guts to go through with it in the Trump age.

It’s still a Christianity-based American cult, I’m sure most of them will be white supremacists anyway.

The Secret of Mana remake comes out in Japan in two days but not really feeling it looking at videos and stuff. The graphics didn't need to be made into boring 3D and there were a lot of gameplay changes I would have liked and it looks identical in that respect. edit: and it has a bunch of generic rear end voice acting.

It was players and gaming journalists that played up the white supremacy angle, not Ubi. They didn't "walk back" anything.

 lol if you can't see the obvious inspiration taken from the Nazi iron cross. Ubi never walked anything back - they know what the cult is supposed to be. White supremacy has been the angle of the cult from the very beginning.

Fame Douglas posted:The Iron Cross has nothing to do with the Nazis, it's a Prussian insignia. And is still the current emblem of the German army (Bundeswehr). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Cross Literally the first loving sentence. quote:The Iron Cross (German: About this sound Eisernes Kreuz (help·info), abbreviated EK) was a military decoration in the Kingdom of Prussia, and later in the German Empire (1871–1918) and Nazi Germany (1933–1945). The Black Cross (Schwarzes Kreuz) is the emblem used by the Prussian Army, and by current German military/civil forces. The Iron Cross was very specifically associated with Nazi Germany. If it truely had nothing to do with Nazi Germany, then theoretically you should be able to fly a flag with it on it. However, modern German law prohibits the production and display of items containing Nazi insignia, and the iron cross is on this list. The West German government authorized replacement Iron Crosses in 1957 with an oak leaf cluster in place of the Hakenkreuz, similar to the Iron Crosses of 1813, 1870, and 1914, which could be worn by World War II Iron Cross recipients. tl;dr: It's loving Nazi imagery Zipperelli. fucked around with this message at 12:17 on Feb 13, 2018 |

And even then drawing on Nazi-esque imagery is villainy 101 for these things. That doesn't mean Ubi ever marketed their bad guy as the Trump-era white supremacists people keep going on about.

What did Wplfenstein fumble? Do you not kill Nazis in extremely violent ways? Aren’t they hardline antagonists? Isn’t it clear that their portrayal is as totally evil? What was Wolfenstein supposed to do that they didn’t do, have BJ turn to the camera after every level to monologue about the horrors of fascism? I just don’t get all these “toothless” claims when the games message about Nazism couldn’t be clearer. EDIT: Moreover, what needed to be said about Nazis and Fascism that isn’t implicit in the games imagery?

Wolfenstein TNC was handled extremely well and was brutal in it’s parallel to modern day criticisms. The racism was ugly and unpleasant from every angle. They never pulled a punch with it.

For all their posturing in the marketing, Nazis were back in their generic villain mould and the Hot Take on society didn't extend beyond "nazis bad, people sometimes racist". It was surface level stuff at best.

You just kill them immediately and Blazkowicz just dumps then in the lab with a "hey, do something with these."

CharlieFoxtrot posted:The cult is multiracial and multicultural apparently That doesn't mean much in America quite honestly. American white supremacists movements absolutely will take in non-whites if they advance the agenda. Richard Spencer has had Asian girlfriends for example. The owner of the The Daily Stormer is Jewish if I'm not mistaken. There's also the Mormon Church which was super racist, up until it was about to lose tax exempt status from their Universities. I could absolutely see an American cult being racist, yet multi-cultural, gliding over the contradictions with religion and charisma. It's basically that Sinclair Lewis quote, "When Fascism Comes To America, It Will Be Wrapped in the Flag and carrying a cross."
