Bethesda's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Denounces Nazis With In-Game Statement https://t.co/bFFwA4hKcf pic.twitter.com/PehvhtcGbD
— GameSpot (@GameSpot) October 29, 2024
"The story and contents of this game are not intended to and should not be construed in any way to condone, glorify, or endorse the beliefs, ideologies, events, actions, persons, or behavior of the Nazi and fascist regimes, nor any other regimes or to trivialize any war crimes, genocide, and other crimes against humanity."
i was really wondering how bethesda felt about this. they made a game where you shoot nazis, so it's a good thing they cleared this up. it was very vague and hard to tell if nazis were bad or not.
This statement comes amidst a resurgence in neo-Nazi activity, in both Europe and in America.
i wonder if that resurgence of neo-nazi activity in america means trump exists because where the frick is this RESURGENCE OF NEO-NAZI ACITIVTY?

Counterpoint: nazis were avid grillers, they supposedly even used sophisticated high pressure grills to get that perfect texture.

i'd like to be in a nazi orgy. some nazis were really cute, idc if they were cooking jews or not (germans are way more attractive in general than jews anyway so who cares). if some nazi in full uniform with a big ubercocken was to order me to strip and get on all fours so he could abuse my hole and call me anti-semetic names the whole time even tho i'm not jewish in the slightest, i don't think i'd have any problem with that at all

I really want to do a story with an elderly nazi supervillain gradually realizing the neonazis he has working for him are degenerate untermensch and the upstate new York Jewish people he's been terrorizing are closer to his ideal society than these perverts and freaks.

In the sequel he's "reformed" which means he's now terrorizing rich New York homosexuals and the art scene for "being degenerate" but not specifically targeting Jews anymore. Mostly destroying what he regards as "degenerate art".
"You have five minutes to explain why you drew Napoleon as a negro when you could have just as easily done portraits of Alexander Dumas, who actually was a negro, or at least partially so, and if you can convince me I won't drop you from this balcony. Don't worry. We're low enough to the ground there's a reasonable chance you'll survive this."
"Beethoven was not black. George Blacktower was, however, and you will perform his piece to my satisfaction with this beautiful violin I purchased in an uptown antique store. You can't play? You're a musica historian and you can't play an instrument?!? Disgraceful! I see we will need to begin at the remedial level. Are you familiar with the tune Mary Had a little lamb? Yes. Good. We can start from there. Don't panic so much! If I was going to kill you you'd already be dead!"
"Punk? You call that punk? The Ramones were punk. You're just producing noise. For one thing you haven't tuned the guitar properly and for another your vocalist sounds like one of the Bee Gees being tortured to death. We need to start with breathing exercises and stop crying! You'll ruin your voice if you try to perform with snot-filled nostrils. The painkillers should kick in shortly and I'm sure your foot will heal properly in a month or two"
" Child Mannequins with peepeees everywhere. I know the point is to shock and disgust; my question is how did you convince anyone this was art? This is a child smearing shit on the nursey wall. Don't run. It will be easier on your relatives if you're mostly intact."
"Piss Christ. Did you actually think this was clever? Normally I'd do a whole monologue and shoot you but you don't deserve it."

What other major games had them?
Usually if a game revolves around you shooting the frick out of Nazis, they didn't feel a need to additionally tell you that Nazis are bad. It was implied by the fact that they were the bad guys in the game and you spent the whole game killing them.

Maybe I'm getting this confused with "this is a work of fiction" disclaimers or maybe school related stuff, so I can't answer that. I still stand by the cheap marketing statement, though.

I think the first Assassin's Creed had a big "This is a multicultural team..." But that's cause burgers still hated on Muslims and the game was set in the middle east during the crusades. I can't remember it being common even after that until we got to cuckville 2016

The only time i have seen nazis in is when they picked up some tiki torches from lowes and started chimping out and got on the news. There is no chance even 1% of the USA is nazi.

I'ma be real with you corporate media/stooges/Slop devs.
I think you guys make people like the Nazis more because you're so fricking insufferable with this shit. Decades of the right questiooooning the 6 million jews killed didn't move the needle at all, Rachel Maddow with her cute butch butt haircut, and all the obese black women ruining the vidya to say Nazis bad suddenly has people going "Well maybe they weren't soooo bad..."

Honestly, in current year I can't even tell if this is true or just another moral panic.
Is there an actual problem with neo nazi groups, or is the "resurgence" just edgy teenagers and hoi4 players who think SS uniforms look cool? (which is fair because they do)
What do neo nazi groups even do? Complain about bipocs and vote for trump?

it's impossible to tell these days what a neo-nazi actually is, because that word doesn't mean the same thing it did 10 or 15 years ago. it's become nothing more than this person isn't a far left liberal or this person doesn't think white people are inherently evil .
if what these people said was true the entire country would be ran exactly like the most backwoods mississippi town in 1920.

Bethesda have been leaning heavy on that nazis bad button for 10 years now. I mean in a modern, post-goobergate way that implies the nazis are all around us not like their older Wolfenstein games. Even ruined one of their Wolf games (Youngblood) to wedge in two teenage foids taking on the nazis by constantly sassing and girl bossing. Shit's got a 45% rating on Steam, and that goes beyond chuds a' chuddin'.

The first one of the rebooted series (New Order, 2014) was good. Been a long time, haven't played it since then, but I remember a nazi base on the moon, a torture scene where your teeth are getting pulled out, and Ilsa-like nazi mommies if that jogs your memory. Lots of fun b-movie shit.

don't you like wake up in the beginning in a hospital with amnesia or something? that seems vaguely familiar.
i'm pretty sure it's still downloaded on my...xbox one? was that the generation? maybe i should play it again. i haven't really played anything except zomboid and college football and a bit of no mans sky recently in so long. maybe a shooter could be fun!
Jump in the discussion.

Yes, that does sound familiar! And then I think you were brought to a big manor styled house (or maybe that was the hospital) after to recuperate, and the nazis attacked it? I know I could look this up on youtube and find an answer in 3 minutes, but it's more fun to wander through the foggy graveyard that is my memory.

Yeah he was wheelchair bound and in a catatonic state for like 20 years but was still impossibly jacked. And yet the Nazis thought polacks were untermensch.
