There day 1 for the new Wolfenstein:

I actually kinda dislike the helghast because of the absurd lengths Killzone's plots go through to include "they aren't that bad and are actually victims of your faction" into the lore and such. When they look like this:
The eyes of their helmets have literally gotten angrier overtime...
Many soldiers on all sides intentionally shot above people.
This is exactly why I hate stealth missions. Killing dudes who are actively shooting you is one thing, but sneaking around and slitting the throats of some young kids who likely don't want to be there (and may even surrender if provoked) has never sat right with me.
I've never liked military games because of this, but this is doubly true of action games like Uncharted. Just feels gross.
Give me some zombies, aliens, monsters, or let me sneak around everybody please.
ITT ppl are brainwashed by the american popcorn version of history
Pretty much. Many Nazi's refused to shoot.
The game literally starts out with the helghast about to gun down a child after gunning down his father and it's even stated that the helghast don't have to look like nazis but particularly CHOOSE to do so.You should feel bad for wanting to kill people because of how they look.
Hmm, now that I think about it I think I read that on an axishistory forum. So what I (and Izuna) said is prob not reliable.[Need for citation intensifies]
http://www.milsf.com/psychology-of-killing/A look at history might help illustrate what I am talking about. In World War Two, it is a fact that only 15-20 percent of the soldiers fired at the enemy.
More effective in motion:Nazi's are easily to hate but the new Wolfenstein still does a good job of establishing the villains despite of the fact.
They were involved with a ton of dubious shit. Being literal KKK members not withstanding.Not only were these guys KKK members, weren't they into human trafficking or something?
Not when the game literally starts off with them about to shoot a child.
Nazi's are some of the most boring and generic villains, especially as they're portrayed in most video games.
They're literally portrayed as pure evil the second they're shown about to gun down kids during a peace agreement while wearing even more nazi influences on their sleeve than in the last three games.Enemies are never pure evil that's just not how things work, maybe individuals are, but it's all shades of grey. All war is pretty ugly.
I tend to think more about the atrocities they committed more so than their costumes.A bit choosing to look like nazis happens in Asia still because they don't have the same negative connotations of Nazis, and frankly their uniforms were pretty damn slick.

Edit: I did find this in a quick google search.

you mean like nazis?Nazis almost seem antiquated compared to the current evil groups in the world today.
That being said, I'm really looking forward to Far Cry 5.
Those are two different wars. There is a lot of shit that went down in the Eastern Front in World War Two.I thought it was wildly documented when it came to WW1 so I was extrapolating the idea to WW2.

It's tired as hell.
Having Hitler as a mechbot final boss is amazing, but the "soldiers of _____ nation are evil, feel good about stabbing them in the neck!" thing always makes me uncomfortable.
Russians, Germans, Koreans, Afghanis... having them as adversaries in a videogame is fine, but glorifying violence against any in particular seems to go directly against what real soldiers experienced in war - I doubt many came back full of glee about what they did and saw.

The difference is Nazis deserved to die in brutal ways. Soviets (pre end of WWII), Koreans and Afghanis were fighting imperialism and glorifying killing those groups is typical American propaganda.
Also, make me a Red Army soldier fighting the Nazis

Also, make me a Red Army soldier fighting the Nazis or Chinese soldier fighting the Kuomintang or Japanese and I'll buy it day 1.
Agreed. I think it's the combination of awesome aesthetics (got to admit their shit looked cool, they were very image-conscious), undeniable evil and racism, and a smug smarminess which is often humorous and hatable.
I'm pretty sure the millions dead from the Soviets (preww2), Koreans, and Chinese had nothing to do with fighting imperialism. Honestly I'd be as terrified of communism becoming popular in my country as nazism.
Wolfenstein says hi.
Listen if you want to give me a shooter where I'm a Finn defending the frontier from the Red Army I'm down with that. I'm shocked Sniper Elite hasn't gone there yet.
I would like that too, but it's not exactly surprising that America tends not to be the enemy in mostly American made games. I don't really think any of video game "enemies" are automatically purely evil vs purely American propaganda. The wolfenstein nazis are almost comically evil, I just think it's funny that people see this stuff in black and white along the lines that they do. (I love killing nazis myself...)
The Red Army was the Soviets, right?
If that was supposed to sway my opinion, it definitely didn't work...
It makes the 3 awesome games contained in Zombie Army Trilogy.Zombies are easy to kill for the same reasons Nazis are.
Now if we just put the two together...

Single player experience? Sure but for me the "best shooter of the generation" has to go to a game that has a great single AND multiplayer experience.
I don't know. Nazis, Communists, Arabs, Africans, Koreans, Chinese... It get's boring... I'd like to be from one of these factions at least once and face Americans or Allies "the good guys" as the enemy. But we all know it won't happen... studios won't withstand the backlash from way too many easily offended folks during these days.

Are things perfect now? No but there's a reason why old Republicans love Trump!
