Don't think anybody has mentioned it yet, but the Skyrim helmet isn't the only reference yet: Just started playing today and noticed it on the vending machines past the telephone speaking Nazi in the wire-car-whatever-thing station.  I was sure that Graben Freunde meant "grave/coffin friends"  I just like this "trains on time" poster.

The game is a little too happy with floor breaks, BJ falls. Of course, that's not even to close to CoD Ghosts falling-as-transition.

Extremely surprised, since all of them were atheists of some caliber, and extremely pissed at each other for obvious reasons. Hitler would probably love Mao vs. Stalin communist-off, tho.

TomViolence posted:I dunno if Hitler can be characterised as atheist. I'm pretty sure he was catholic, though I dunno if he was still a practicing one by the time of the war. Stalin actually trained to be an orthodox priest, and was even soft on the church in Georgia, allegedly because his mother was devout. China wasn't exactly a hotbed of theistic religion, so yeah, Mao probably counts. It's not really important, though, as their ideologies (not mention personality cults) easily inspired such fervence in themselves and others that they could be considered religions in their own right. Well, my view on Dolphie H. might have been somewhat influenced by this one website that claims to be an unbiased wiki on Islam, honest while their section on "non-Islamic people on Islam" only features any praise if it's done by such humanitarian luminaries like A.H. The quote there goes to state that Christianity is too removed from bodily reward, unlike Muslims and their 72 virgins, etc. etc. etc.

 Rudy wipes with money! Possibly counterfeit money, since the only 20 mark notes I found have a lady on them.  Helga uses TP and read secure Wolfenstein documentation. By the way, the 1928 Bordeaux she was writing about is a great wine, but maybe not as good as 1929 and might have been undrinkable in 1946  Yeah, I tried looking if that was actual WWII German food packaging.  Actually, the grenade is about 600 grams, and the helmet is between 800 and more. And yeah, Allies would have been much more successful with their black magic research, since they wouldn't have BJ zeroing in on them to stab everyone dead. So, by by our reckoning, both RCTW and Wolfenstein happened, so what's the canon status of robo hitler at this point?

Neruz posted:I believe we must assume that Robo-Hitler did indeed happen and that BJ ended him. But what about the article mentioning Furer? It is AH's headless body going around, making claims? Well, the way stories go, any Allied supernatural efforts would be carried out by heroic Indiana Jones types and the only casualties would be some unlucky local carriers and stuff. I like to imagine BJ as some sort satellite deployed weapon with a passive radar that's set on two bands: Nazi Super Science and Nazi Paranormal Activity. When either of those exceeds their threshold, BJ wakes up, his open eyes the only white dots in the darkness of the sattelite. Then he plunges to Earth and kills till NSS/NPA levels are returned to normal. He's like an Allied Tarrasque that way.

BJ only has three skills now: killing Nazis, killing Nazi supermagicscience things (might be a subset of killing Nazis) and guitar. Would he be able to find work post war? What if his skillset does not translate well to kill communists?

The game definitely isn't bleak. Its a little on the grey side, but, come on, you're blasting your way through Nazi bases, of course there's going to be some grey involved. The concentration camp was something, but otherwise, it's a pretty smooth ride. BJ's jokes are great, guard talk is great, the effort put into everything is great. 'course, that can just be me being an emotionally stunted rear end in a top hat. EDIT: it's totally that. I actually felt pity for Rudi during the execution, and I somewhat agreed with my girlfriend that the game is extremely violent. I had a similar disgusted reaction with the first kill in Infinite. Sure, you just killed a police officer by ripping his throat out with a hook, but he's probably racist so that's OK. Sure, game, whatever.

Neruz posted:Especially since. You know. None of this is real. You're not actually executing a human being. Is it the goon argument that people shouldn't get immersed or worked up about video or any sort games again? DeusExMachinima posted:He was trying to imprison and/or kill me for exceptionally lovely reasons. I didn't dwell on the scene and I don't think I'm especially hardcore. Hey, many people can find issues with cops trying to arrest them for any reason. It's just like it sometimes pulls a string. Ripping spines out in Darkness 2 was extremely fun (and going through the brothel wasn't, so cudos to the devs), ripping folks apart in Wolverine: The One Movie Game Better Than Actual Movie: Origins was fun and closer to the Space Marine experience than actual Space Marine game. Killing that cop and Rudi somehow wasn't, even though I've already gone through all of the Nazis in TNO and all of the slavers AND slaves in Infinite. Mzbundifund posted:I'm as desensitized to violence as anygoon, but I had the exact same reaction. Still haven't played Infinite because of it. No I don't care how deep or good the game is, I don't want to watch "my" hands tear out that many throats. You didn't miss much. Infinite is like Call of Duty (Ghosts or one of the other bad ones) set in extremely pretty levels with a Riley so full of extradimensional powers that the only gameplay effect is summoning turrets and health potions in pre selected places.

Neruz posted:This is your internal 'suspension of disbelief' at work; the Rudi scene hits you because at a basic instinctual level you believe he exists as a real human being. Other scenes do not because you recognize the fiction and thus cannot become emotionally invested in it. It's all about whether the many collected parts of your mind that are not your consciousness believe it is real, or that it is not real. The actual reality of the situation is meaningless; but whether you believe it or not on an instinctual level changes everything. And I don't even like dogs  Or Nazis!

Neruz posted:That is because when you actually start thinking about the way real human beings became Nazis you get really depressed. Only took them losing the greatest war of all time and having humiliating sanctions imposed at the time when Germany was getting to be a great power, and then economy getting tanked by a great financial crisis to turn on somewhat isolated group that Europe had a history of abusing and on a political movement that had just sunk one other powers into years of bloodshed. I have a harder time understanding how you become one of the Khmer Rouge and start cutting off thumbs of your own people because literacy is counter-revolutionary.

Well, if she's a lesbian, at least they didn't telegraph even before the game's launch *cough* Assassin's Creed: Unity *cough* Maybe they are just super best friends, but we've become jaded with developers reaching for the low hanging fruit. Best gay character was in Phantasmagoria II, anyways.

RareAcumen posted:What, can you only fit so many different races in a game because of all the griffins and fantasy monsters? If it's fantasy, what exactly is stopping you from saying 'and the races interacted a lot here'? Why couldn't Jade Empire have more white characters? Why does it have dragons and inscrutable engines, but not white characters? FoolyCharged posted:Well if the wolfenstein guys wanted us on track maybe they could have given us a train level I guess I should try and trust Machine Games more. They aren't the ones to make Thor's Super Special All Race Inclusive Buddy Squad or 90's Hip Inclusive Urban Ghost Busters or BioWare's All Our Gay Chards Have Dead SOs Ain't That Lyrical, which is a cheap way to get variety browny points. Machine Games put in legit effort to make everything full and worthwhile, and they already had that one sad lesbian in the concentration camp, and maybe Annette really has a super best friend like I never had.

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:I just finished this game now. I haven't actually played much of The New Order, but I liked this. Rub it in our face, why don't you. George posted:This is cogent enough, but people literally find dwarves and elves more believable than black people. That's simply incredible. Witcher-humans are super racist against dorfs and elvess, to the point where SPOILERS GOD drat IT Geralt died while protecting them during one of the many progroms when stabbed by a peasant. He got better and since there's apparently plane hopping in Witcher, one realm has a mountain of human skulls, since elves preemptivelly killed all humans. Having it more Medieval makes Witcher world stand out from all the Faeruns and Fereldans, just like Jade Empire, being based on Medieval-ish China, only has one dude, since they're kind of exotic and cooky. Never felt like that game needed more diversity: Chinese peasants, Chinese ghosts, Chinese bureaucracy, it all creates a world that is totally different and awesome. Then you transform into a giant clay robot and kill everything.

The thing that I like about the Lageroboten (the early version of Mr. Fist which supposedly didn't need souls to power it) is that zombies can climb the front and you need to shoot them. It's a little bit of neat interaction with the inside of the bot which reinforces the idea that you're riding inside a robot (instead of melding with the machine like in, say, Battlefield) and few games do that. Titanfall has really nice Titan entry and exit animations. If only that game wasn't Call Of Duty But With Giant Bots

Gears of War is so dreary. Phoenix is always gritting teeth while not saying much while the Space American Football is the only player has any sort of color, "Nobody can stop the Coal/Coletrain!" Fire Warrior looks full of character and color in comparison to Gears of War, and GoW inexplicably shat up the whole Third Person Shooter genre. Damnation and Deep Black Reloaded comes to mind. Oh God, gently caress Deep Black Reloaded. If you want vaguely GoW-ish characters feeling cool, you want Bulletstorm.
