There are many fine people over on that thread.
..Jesus wept..
Veering a good bit off topic here, but the guy who said it was in poor taste is far, far from 'one of them' and very actively dislikes Trump and the growing neo Nazi movement in the US. But things hit a point where you have to call a spade a spade, and there really are few pieces of media better positioned to do so than Wolfenstein (esp as it's a game about shooting Nazis that has been around since long before Trump or the alt-right, the reboot included). It's also not directly talking about Charlottesville but the overall problem, and Bethesda's offices are in Rockville, Maryland which is less than three hours from Charlottesville (almost a stones throw in US terms).
I'm not saying Trump is Hitler but he's happy to enable big, big fans of Hitler and Nazism (which the 'alt right' is just a rebranding of) in his base which is why I figured the comparison to Charlie Chaplin lampooning Hitler in The Great Dictator was fairly accurate (that movie is from 1940 - long before Hitler fell and incredibly ballsy... also randomly saw it on Sky a few years ago with a hangover, and it's surprisingly still quite funny if you like physical humour).
Anyway, back to shooting Nazis. Lots and lots of Nazis!

Wolfenstein marketing now being debated on the Donald Trump thread
It's actually brilliant marketing.
I'm skeptical that many people are actually really offended by this but I think it's pretty hilarious if they are. You kill monsters in Doom and you kill Nazis in Wolfenstein. Same thing.
Most of the people who are into FPS games like this are going to buy it anyway. I enjoyed The New Order and Doom 2016 so I am definitely getting this.
The biggest, non-gamer, criticism of Doom was always that it's too violent with some fringe elements babbling about "toxic masculinity" or some garbage.
Flip it from "it's a game about killing demons" to "it's a game about killing Nazis" and every pacifistic, anti-gun, Twitter user in the world suddenly can't wait to jump into a male power fantasy where they get to rampage as a gun-toting maniac.
They've managed to take folks who were "disgusted" by people cheering extreme violence when the Doom 2016 trailer was revealed and turned them into cheerleaders for a bit of the old ultra-violence with the rest of us.0 -

**** Naughty Dog, the dialogue in this game is way better. Really snappy script and well acted. Also you are doing yourself a disservice not going for the Fergus timeline It's just got that perfect balance between silly and serious that the first game had except maybe more so.

I can't remember what I chose in the first game. I also can't remember what I chose here. Think it was the guy on the right.
Anyway I'm only about 1-2 hours in but this is fantastic.
Also yes the voice acting, script and subtle digs at modern America is extremely enjoyable.
Dat gunplay doh, such a joy killing Nazis
Also, I'm playing on hard, this game will test you0 -

Unfortunatly, does not work on ultra wide screen yet
I'll have to give some time, but for some reason more and more games dont work in UWS where almost everything used to just a few short years ago?
it works on 21:9 but there's a trick to get going because the game still has bugs and needs to be patched
Use default 1080p res and change settings to low, save and restart game. Once game is restarted, change aspect to any and 3440x1440 will appear, select that and restart game0 -
