I really loved Bob Bakker’s “Raptor Red” (which kicks off with a similar plot, but is about a Utahraptor rather than a T Rex), so I will definitely give this a shot!
Saying he wanted to rule the world was a bit of hyperbole on my part however, the countries you named did not necessarily pose any type of threat, or provide the resources he needed at the time. His troops started to spread too thin due to the advancing Russians and invading a country like Spain would have been too…
This article screams, I don’t know and didn’t want to research any history of Nazi Germany. This crap article shouldn’t have made it past the editor.
You almost had me but unfortunately didn’t use quite enough fucks or capital letters to truly get a convincing point across. Keep trying though, you’re on the right track.
Gotta generate them clicks somehow.
It’s like you missed his point about how not everyone in the Wehrmacht was integral to Nazi genocidal policy. Most were drafted and did not participate in the Holocaust.
Precisely. Have you ever heard of the boxing match’s between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling in the late 30's - early 40's? Schmeling is a prime example of not being a Nazi, but pretty much having to go along with it.
Yeah, I mean, and I say this as a Jew, and I actually currently live in Eastern Europe, and I have no dog in this fight, as I’m not really into video games. But like, it’s easy to say “Nazis are bad.” (And I totally agree with that statement, for reasons that are obvious.) But if you lived in Nazi Germany and said,…
Yeah, and fuck the members of the Wehrmacht who participated in mass killings. That doesn’t conflict with my argument whatsoever.
Fighting against another army isn’t murder.
And as the grandson of German refugees who had to work within the system even though Hitler ruined their lives before escaping — or simply surviving — with irreparable scars after dealing with the trauma of an oppressive regime every single day, I have to argue that sometimes there isn’t a choice, and they already…
My friend, you’re eating the choir.
Don’t forget that the German army had a draft, and even forced Polish and Russian civilians to join. And the obvious “people are going to sign up to defend their country when tanks start rolling in, no matter how monstrous that government’s actions” thing. Can you imagine any scenario in which Americans wouldn’t take…
This. Just to reiterate. Not every German soldier was a Nazi, or someone that particularly liked Hitler. Boys and men were killed on both sides simple because one psycho wanted to rule the world. Fuck the actual Nazis though.
I agree, this mission seemed like it was trying to be like “Das Boot” in that it showed fanatical Nazis as well as regular Germans who were drafted into the war, all on a nearly hopeless mission and brought together by a captain trying to keep every German alive that he could, regardless of ideology. There really was…
The thrust of this article is hopelessly flawed. No, not every person fighting for the Germans in WWII was a Nazi. That’s like saying every soldier currently fighting for America is a Republican. The story you’re criticizing draws those lines itself. Almost every assassination attempt against Hitler was carried out by…
Battlefield V’s campaign tries to argue that WWII had very fine people on both sides
“Are we the baddies?”
I really liked Obra Dinn, but I was a little disappointed by how the story ultimately shaped out. No spoilers, but the design built up certain expectations—not of detail, but of import—that I’m not sure the narrative paid off. That said, the experience of actually going through the game was more than good enough to…
