Lol, I was reading reviews of the previous Girls Civilization games, and apparently one of the "bug fixes" is the game autosaves and forces you to quit and restart the game every 3 hours.

I, uh...that is definitely a concept.

Maybe it was just the trailer, but here's a few things that left me scratching my head:

Why nazis? I mean, this is the main one, right? I like the concept of running a hidden research facility to create a weapon that can turn the war, but here's the thing about WW2: all sides were working on weird super weapons during it. America had the Manhattan Project, but was also looking into weaponizing bats. England could be its own DLC, with codebreaking and building computers at Bletchley Park. Russian engineers had to deal with both the Germans and Stalin, and I'm sure that a bit of historical research provides plenty of other examples.

The reason we remember the Axis research facilities so well are because they committed so many goddamn atrocities. From the Japanese going completely insane with Unit 371 to the Germans working Jews and prisoners to death in factory-mines, these weren't places that you want the player to associate with - especially not in a game, where the actions of the player should mechanically have a meaningful and positive outcome. That's something which stands in stark contrast to history, where a lack of ethics on the part of Axis researchers led to poo poo research that often proved completely useless.

Sure, you could remove things like slavelabor and genocide from your game, but that just puts more emphasis on the question why we are even specifically running a nazi bunker in the first place. And if you keep those things, you end up with a pretty gruesome misrepresentation of history because you are implying that those methods actually work.

That's not even touching on the fact that most proposed german 'superweapons' were poo poo. They were really good when it came to aviation (and, from that, rockets) but the rest of it was a shitshow. Tanks that would be too big to move, a nuclear program which was sabotaged multiple times by both Allied raids and researchers with a conscious that muddled the numbers and the dumb motto that what looked good on paper was always more important than any practical considerations.

And where are the swastikas? The nazis were gaudy as poo poo, yet these screenshots look more like a parking garage than a facility filled with rabid fascists. It feels like the devs realized halfway through that they were making a nazi-game but couldn't be bothered to backpaddle all the way.

Oh, and I wouldn't proudly present the feature to "use workers to build tunnels" in the trailer for your Werner von Braun-simulator.

Conceptually, building a secret underground base to house a super weapon to conquer the world is the premise of the Evil Genius series, so it's not a bad idea. The difference is that Evil Genius takes its themes from campy comic book/james bond villain stuff, rather than the actual nazis.

Like yes there are a lot of myths made up (usually after the war, in the case of "die glöcke" made up wholecloth by some weirdo in the 70's I think) about the secret technology the nazis must have had, and that's also the conceit of like, the wolfenstein games. But the key point is they're the bad guys.

I wouldn't be surprised if the only reason the swastikas aren't in the game is because that would get it instantly banned for sale in Germany.

The full description makes it a bit more clear, some streamer got caught touching a child and went to prison, and in the game you are playing the child and has to avoid the streamer that somehow escaped from prison. Survival horror-ish. Still a stupid and bad game.

Well, they were sometimes good at aviation. Other times they made a plane that ran on coal or a rocket plane with no landing gear that was mostly effective at killing its test pilots.

For some context, I saw the Cyber Furry whatever game on this thread, thought "this doesn't seem too bad," and then saw what else they do and went "okay gently caress these guys." :v:

But, yeah, I do wish checking the "new and trending" page were less likely to result in things like...this. I probably should just turn off the "show me Adult Games" setting, given the general quality levels going on.

Were any of them in the BF1942: Secret Weapons? I only remember the tank with a ship cannon, the mortar tank, the Sherman with missile barrage attachment, machine gun bike and the coveted jetpacks which allows everyone to Hulk jump across the map but also turns the game into a clay pigeon simulator.
