Anyone with a brain knows they are attempting to draw a parallel to the current political climate. AKA "right-wingers/Trump supporters who don't agree with us = Nazi's". It doesn't mean they wanna kill these people, but they are definitely playing off that train of thought. Of course Nazi's are bad, but in their mind, they legitimately think there is a wave of fascism in this country, which is fucking hilarious.

That would be pretty amazing. It would be about a -45 metacritic user score from both the anti-Trumpers and the Russians mobilizing the internet hate.

This game was being developed before the current "political climate", they would be fucking terrible at marketing if they didn't use everything in their power to make parallels to their game to try to sell more copies. All of this couldn't have happened at a better time for them.
Either way, the only thing that really held the last Wolfenstein back for me was 30 fps cap cutscenes because consoles ruin everything. But they've seen to have gotten away from that (thank fuck). The gameplay of Wolfenstein and what they learned with DOOM, gonna be GOTY fps 10/10

Reviews are coming in, OpenCritic has it at 88 currently. Game Informer gave it a 9.75 if that means anything. I don't really know which publications are known for accepting money for better ratings etc.
Either way, I imagine the game is more of the same, which is perfectly fine with most of us!

I think it's pretty fucking dispicable that they are using the current political climate to drive sales, nothing good can come from this aside form lining their pocket books.
The uniformed masses and people on the left are going to use this as "Call for help", a video game company went out of their way to push for what we need to do to all white people in America( aka Nazis). I give it 1 month before CNN/Slate/Whatever starts pushing this narrative.

Don't be fucking dense. The marketing was aimed directly at current events, even going so far as to hijack actual politically charged hashtags.
You don't get to bow out and claim you don't want your game to be political when you straight up marketed it that way in the first place.
Boiling it down to "if killing Nazi's is bad i don't wanna be right" is some straight up NeoGaf faggotry level comprehension of the discussion.

Go for it, Ut. I'd be happy to make you both look like the morons you are. No need to derail two threads with abject stupidity.
