Guilt Free Gaming: Why Nazis are the Perfect Antagonists

Cheering a hero on as they brutally massacre hundreds of digital humans is ethically murky—unless, of course, they're Nazis.

As long as they're actual nazis and not thinly veiled allegories for "everyone to the right of Bernie Sanders" then yep, definitely.

Bobafret2350d ago

That is the very reason I did not buy this game.

ziggurcat2350d ago

you didn't buy the game because you have to kill nazis?

DrumBeat2350d ago

You both passed on a game because they said "Not My America?"

Talk about snowflakery. The Nazis have taken over America in this story. It makes complete and total sense to want to utterly "Take America Back" given these circumstances. Stop injecting politics where they don't exist.

Bobafret2350d ago (Edited 2350d ago )

You know full well the entire game includes references to Trump and his constituents in a negative light. For the record killing Nazis was and is a good thing. Fun fact: Hitler got many of his horrific ideas from the Turks Armenian genocide.

DrumBeat2350d ago

No, I don't know that. You're choosing to interpret that. I could just as easily say 'You know full well that Nazis are terrible and deserved to be vilified tenfold in fiction and in cinema.' I find it amusing that speaking up against Nazis is considered anti-Trumpian by his base.

That's where we are and it's absolutely ridiculous. Nazis. Antifa. They're all bad. Nazis are worse, imo. I think anyone of sound mind would agree.

Bobafret2350d ago

"I find it amusing that speaking up against Nazis is considered anti-Trumpian by his base."

No, no, and no. That is not what I meant at all. It's when we are compared to Nazi's that I take issue.

ziggurcat2349d ago

"You know full well the entire game includes references to Trump and his constituents in a negative light."

no. the game doesn't do that at all. the game's premise is based the idea of what could have happened if the Nazis won WWII, and were successful in their plans for outright world domination...

Bobafret2349d ago (Edited 2349d ago )

There are plenty of easter eggs proving me correct.

DrumBeat2349d ago (Edited 2349d ago )

Nothing is proving you correct. You're merely seeing it how you want to see it. If none of the Charlottesville nonsense took place, "Not My America" wouldn't be an issue for you, would it? In light of that, since it did take place, it still shouldn't be an issue. In light of this dystopian Nazi-takeover-of-America theme, "Not My America" is a perfectly valid statement of defiance that conveys the feelings of the country in this piece of fiction. We are rebelling and taking America back.

I've always thought that was all Nazis were good for?

stone_cold2350d ago

Or Israelis , perfect example yo .

StormSailor2350d ago

I like to kill Nazis, but I also wanted it with another kind of junk, the damn communists.

Hope the polish make a game that we can kill both. Do it CD Projekt, please

agent45322350d ago

No murdering of ISIS soldiers virtually speaking. They can make ISIS comical if the gaming industry wanted it or is too soon.

Riders republic. Nice. I never bought it but played beta twice. Good fun openworld game.

BigBosss378d ago

I have 3 other mates who like playing multiplayer games. Is this something we will all enjoy together?

Astrokis378d ago

It’s a really fun game when there’s a lot of people on but the player base dropped a lot compared to launch. This should help increase the amount online drastically.

It’s definitely a - I want to chill with my friends type of game so definitely check it out! Also it’s a huge improvement over Steep

MaximusPrime_378d ago

Sounds good. Also, Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores DLC coming a day after. I'll be more likely spending time on that DLC first. But will join when free.

closed_account378d ago (Edited 378d ago )

Riders Republic is a ton of fun and one of the best things Ubisoft has done in recent years IMO.

The music and acting are obnoxious, which I just turn down... but it's so much just freeriding mountain bikes or other stuff across the mountains. I haven't played w friends, but I imagine it would be a ton of fun in MP. Very underrated game!

SlothLordPootus378d ago

I kept getting caught up in other games so I never got around to buying Doom Eternal. If it's good I'll still buy it so i can keep it. The reboot was awesome, i think i played through it about 5 times, and platinumed it.

closed_account377d ago

Same here, I've had Doom Eternal on my wishlist for a long time. I'm definitely jumping in considering the free PS5 upgrade they released.

Storm23377d ago

It is a lot of fun. First FPS in a while that has really grabbed me. And I love FPS games. C’mon Killzone/Resistance series remasters/remakes/sequels…anyt hing.

DefenderOfDoom2377d ago

I agree , Sony has not produced a single player FPS campaign in about 8 years. I already played DOOM Eternal which was awesome.

FallenAngel1984378d ago

A whole lotta Bethesda titles in this lineup

Sackboy also got included as well despite already being as Essential title

crazyCoconuts378d ago

Regarding sackboy, you're right... That's confusing. At least wait until it's not in essential, as it's impossible to have extra without essential.

Welshy378d ago (Edited 378d ago )

Damned if you do and damned if you don't with that one I think. When a former monthly free game goes into the subscription catalog at a later date it also gets criticism, so may as well just add it straight away for people who don't claim it going forward I guess.

Profchaos377d ago

Hopefully the claim on the game counts as a essentials claim so when the game leaves the catalogue it doesn't leave the players library.

I found a similar situation frustrating I played fallout 76 when it was introduced as a premium game a month or so later it was a essentials game and I could not repurchase it so I'll lose the game when it leaves the Library

crazyCoconuts378d ago

Spiderman is in the titles leaving Extra in May. Guess 1st party titles aren't guaranteed to stay

Welshy378d ago

That's just the way of subscription services in general, titles come and go, but I'm sure it'll be back. Maybe it's a Quantum Break deal where it's just a license refresh?

It's one of the reasons I fear a subscription/digital only future. I don't want the platforms telling me what I can and can't play at any given time and waiting of tenterhooks for games I actually want to be available.

closed_account378d ago

Oh boy, that's making me want to jump back into Returnal! Not that I'd mind buying the game, love it.

EvertonFC378d ago

Great Month, own most of them but looking fwd to trying monstor boy, nice sto have EW in my collection now and some wolfeinstein.

Anyone else have a small but noticeable delay in aiming on Borderlands 2? Anytime I move the aiming reticle, there is maybe a quarter of a second (250ms) delay before it moves. Happens in both Handheld and Docked.

jznrpg2d ago

I haven’t bought one shooter for Switch. It’s just to weak to play them good enough. I really don’t play my Switch at all anymore. Going to sell them and wait for Switch 2.

Scheiße! Nein.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the best in the series. After that:
New Order
New Colossus
Old Blood

Harryvok625d ago

I really wish they'd remake Return to Castle Wolfenstein from the ground up. Easily the best of them all.
