they don't humanize the nazid

They do though, they use overheard conversations to humanize the Nazis to exactly the degree that those characters would be permitted to express and humanize themselves in-setting , and anyone who finds that range of expression lacking should think about why.

anakin-padme-1 I want to humanize Nazis.

anakin-padme-2 As a warning about the banality of evil?

anakin-padme-3

anakin-padme-4 As a warning that even ordinary people can be whipped up into a frenzy of genocidal hate... Right?

"Your white skin makes you better than everyone else and you deserve special treatment for it! Go ahead and [redacted] people for the crime of not being as awesome as you!" is a pretty easy sell for most people.

We slap people with the truth, they kiss people with lies.

Spoiler for the peak moment in the seriesThe moment when a topless pregnant woman was firing off two rifles at nazis was easily the most B movie point of the series. Peak gaming moment.

if anyone is curious it seems like i forgot to mention she was soaked in the blood of her enemies too. NSFW obviously.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I kind of had this moment with a The Last Jedi critique

I was mildly curious about a pretty popular review, and after being somewhat underwhelmed by the movie I just watched the first few minutes of it. Initially, it was actually a sound critique of the film, hitting a lot of points I kind of agreed with (too many rug pull moments, several plot threads that kind of went nowhere, bad fight choreography, etc), but then the guy literally went "....and the message of the film is you should ALWAYS listen to women, that is what THEY are trying to push on you" or somesuch

It cracked me up at first, but then I realized it was almost certainly purposeful design, to lure in more naive people who would be baited in by the initial, well made points and who would then swallow that plate of brainworms wholesale

Thats how the pipeline gets you. I really fell into it as a kid

Maybe the real Nazis were the minorities we oppressed along the way?

Take 2 paradox of intolerances daily and come back in a week for a bonking if the symptoms don't subside.

I think the concept of Youngblood , i always think could have been really interesting. A mix of Dishonored non-linear exploration with bombastic in your face FPS gameplay of Wolfenstien seems like an unlikely but interesting pairing in my book . Unfortunately, The narrative design wasn't great and coupled with forever scaling Far Cry 4/5/6 gameplay really just made it feel flat. It's a shame cause the game looked great, sounded great, and at times in the co-op was pretty rad. I liked the Blazkowicz girls, and I thought their sort of goofy 80s teen worked but the game just never really got off the ground for me.

It's really frustrating that people never really talk about the game design or its issue, it's always the same ol' "WOKE BECAUSE TWO GIRLS! WOKE BECAUSE BLACK GIRL! WOKE BECAUSE NAZI ARE SHOWN TO BE BAD!" . It's a game worth talking about, but not really for the dumb gamer reasons.

I never got around to playing this because I wanted to do it entirely co-op and could never find anyone with enough time or interest.

[-] LGOrcStreetSamurai@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

As a dude who played it front-to-back with my homie i'd say it's "fine". It's one of those games I'd recommend you'd rent if that were still a thing, but you're not really not missing much. It's not a great addition to the Wolfenstien legacy, but it's fun at times. Just not all the time, and sadly the highest of fun aren't as high as they ought to be.
