Its too late. The trailer converted me already. I've shaved my head and married a blonde girl of quality breeding stock.

Now I must sue Machine Games.

The most bizarre warning sticker I've ever seen was for a microwave oven where it said "don't put your pet inside to dry it from rain/water/fluids."

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Gotta remind the socialist people here that hate Israel that Nazis is a bad thing.

 

[Loomy]

What child needs them to say this because full grown adults should have the mental capacity to pick up hints that if the nazis are the bad guys, the game isn't endorsing them.

New to the woke world? I made a paper airplane the other day and a tree hugging Karen called me the Hitler of trees.

We have created a generation so pathetic, it has become necessary to have a warning that says the nazis are the bad guys.

I see this more as Machine games protecting themselves( from a PR perspective) from the inevitable manufactured media shitstorm when people start doing stupid shit with the game that gives the appearance of sympathy towards the nazi characters.

So it's not like, common knowledge, that the nazis were kind of bad guys? Every sane person would agree.

You would think. But then again...the world.

 

[SJRB]

Now I'm going to make a mod that makes Indy a nazi and the enemies Allies just to fuck with these poor devs.

 

[Alebrije]

More than ever new generations get info form tiktokers and influiencers, they don't check the facts just eat the fake

Yes, but if the pet has been in the freezer for decades, it's a good way to de-freeze them. Just give them something warm to wear afterwards to dry up.

(who gets the reference?)

[Lucifers Beard]

What? People really are fucking retarded these days aren't they? You know the world is fucking mad when you have to announce that Nazis are bad.

 

[nkarafo]

I guess every other developer in the world must condone murder then, since i don't see any disclaimers about killing.

 

[sainraja]

I wish they had a warning denouncing first person view for an Indiana Jones games.

I am trying to keep an open mind and hopefully FP view works for this game but I would have preferred TP view as well.

In other related news, the new Uncharted spinoff will include a warning denouncing mass murder.

Well, Indiana is likely going to be mass-murdering too. The people Nathan gunned down weren't exactly good people. (Personally I think this is a silly criticism of the series, since what should he have done instead, lay down his arms and ask them to shoot him instead? lol)

 

[Topher]

Why is this news? And why are people acting like this is a bad thing? Like, hello? Yes, the warning is there for a reason.

The reason being some idiots on twitter will actually believe this game is praising Nazis or something?

 

[captainnapalm]

Honestly we should be glad the nazi imagery is still in the game. I'm sure they debated replacing it. At least it's not one of those "this game was made by a diverse group of woke assholes" messages. Hate those.

 

[Madserb2023]

I am really glad for the warning. I wasn't sure at first if Indiana was the bad the guy. I thought he was a thief who just liked punching Europeans but now I know the errors of my way.

its silly. its a video game. and people criticizing him for being a mass murderer were taking it too seriously. just like these morons at machine games.

 

[GHG]

I thought it was apple juice

Damn, I missed that memo,

So you mean to tell me my fellow anti ABK acquisition ride or dies were tripping on battery acid?

I picked the wrong side.

Ain't no microwave gonna boss me around!

Corporate virtue signaling is the worst cringe the human brain can endure.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Yes, but if the pet has been in the freezer for decades, it's a good way to de-freeze them. Just give them something warm to wear afterwards to dry up.

(who gets the reference?)

Day of the Tentacle

 

[Putonahappyface]

Me on the day of release buying a physical copy of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle from a Game shop.

"Heil Hitler"

 

[AmuroChan]

Yet people today need said warnings like the warning in car manuals to not drink the battery acid

That's more specifically for liability, because if they don't put that warning, some idiot will drink it on purpose in order to sue the car manufacturer.

 

[Holammer]

I get why Tintin in Congo had a foreword giving some historical context to why the book is batshit by today's standards.
But in a game where you literally punch Nazis?

 

[clarky]

If only they had one of these before World War 2, could have saved a lot of hassle.

 

[DeepEnigma]

What? People really are fucking retarded these days aren't they? You know the world is fucking mad when you have to announce that Nazis are bad.

It's because too many bubble living NPCs believe what the psyop is selling.

 

[Northeastmonk]

We need a new Wolfenstein.

 

[AgatonSax]

Naturally development studios assume gamers are morons. We would have to be, right?

 

[pudel]

yeah...well...here in germany we will definitely get our very own rainbow flag edition. Thats actually a case where pirating comes in very handy.

 

[BouncyFrag]

 

[DeepEnigma]

We need a new Wolfenstein.

I weep that we will not see a 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein' setting/tone for quite some time.

Same goes for Medal of Honor, man the multiplayer & sound design was amazing in that one.

 

[Dr Cowley]

Maybe this indy and his girl boss partner make the nazis seem unintentionally likeable in comparison, hence the warning. Modern writers are that shit.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

 

[EDMIX]

The reason being some idiots on twitter will actually believe this game is praising Nazis or something?

True, I mean we had someone literally in a AC Shadows thread saying the game was supporting something about hurting the Japanese.

You need to actually tell some people that games are actually fake, not real, the game is not suggesting to harm any group of people etc. lol

We are in legit the softest generation that get offended from anything lol

 

[Topher]

games are actually fake, not real

 

[CheeseCake]

Cheesecake is BACK

Fuck yes

Been working on myself rtn, don't have a lot of time to come here anymore

 

[strike670]

Do they attempt to humanize the Nazi's in this game or something? Otherwise why the disclaimer, everyone knows the Nazis were vile and evil. Anyone with even a ounce of morality detests Nazis, especially since many of us have grandparents or great-grandparents who went to war against them.

 

[GrayDock]

In times where you read 'contains peanuts' in peanuts packages, nothing surprises me anymore...

 

[FoxMcChief]

So you mean to tell me my fellow anti ABK acquisition ride or dies were tripping on battery acid?

I picked the wrong side.

i tried to tell ya

 

[existensmaximum]

Yes, but if the pet has been in the freezer for decades, it's a good way to de-freeze them. Just give them something warm to wear afterwards to dry up.

(who gets the reference?)

Day of the Tentacle!

 

[Crayon]

My mom went down a certain very popular internet rabbit hole and years later she thinks the holocaust is fake.

Seen it happen to another guy, too.

This Nazi disclaimer makes me smh but I guess not for the same reason as everyone else.

 

[Deerock71]

Nazis and zombies are the two best cannon fodder for any game.

 

[Bojanglez]

I don't mind disclaimers, just glad games are returning to not shying away from using historically accurate military uniforms and the like. I don't think any reasonable person would think the use in games, movies or TV is glorifying the regimes they are referencing.

 

[Chris23]

I'm going to play an Indiana Jones game and my takeaway will be "hey, these guys actually made some good points". Simple as.

 

[LordCBH]

Literally everyone knows Nazis are bad. What the fuck kind of virtue signaling is this?

 

[Punished Miku]

Literally everyone knows Nazis are bad. What the fuck kind of virtue signaling is this?

Yeah sure. "Everyone." I could name someone pretty relevant in the news lately that hasn't gotten the memo.

 

[ssringo]

This doesn't really bother me (unless I can't 'X' past it quickly and have to stare at it for 10 seconds...) but I don't recall Nazis ever being portrayed as anything other than bad/evil in the franchise; though I have NOT watched the latest movie. Are they going to have a Nazi character be morally grey or sympathetic?

 

[DryvBy]

No one's going to become a Nazi because they see Nazis, freakin' idiotic messages. You want to scare people away from atrocious ideology? Put a warning in front of games that support the Nazism brother, Communism.

Yeah sure. "Everyone." I could name someone pretty relevant in the news lately that hasn't gotten the memo.

Go on. Name the Nazi that's in the news lately.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Thank God. I was starting to think these guys might be nazis with how much they use them in games.

 

[freemandos]

Oh, please, the nazis are the bad guys in Indiana Jones franchise, the player will kill nazis in this game, a warning makes no sense. The industry retardation doesn't stop to amaze me.

 

[Punished Miku]

Go on. Name the Nazi that's in the news lately.

This isn't a political forum. Figure it out for yourself. Or don't.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It's because too many bubble living NPCs believe what the psyop is selling.
