I'd LOVE to hear the explaination from the 1 downvote.
Playing devil’s advocate here. It’s probably people who think no matter what, every single life is precious and should be preserved.
Edit: I feel like I should probably add that I do not agree with this ideology whatsoever. Facists deserve a good beating

You expect Nazis and their sympathizers to have a brain and form coherent sentences, huh?
I fear, there are at least some who do and those are even more dangerous than the typical braindead Nazi.
6 of them now lol crazy there are that many.
Genuinely? I think there are always a couple trolls downvoting anything and everything, or people who can't resist being contrarian for the sake of it. I see downvotes applied to on-topic, factually correct, and completely uncontroversial posts and comments all the time. For example, go to any cute animal community. You'll find various inoffensive pictures of the animals, with zero incorrect assertions because it is literally just a picture, and at least a few of these pictures of critters the entire community is about (so it's on-topic) will have a few downvotes anyways. Same principle could apply here. If there are lots of upvotes I almost expect to see a few downvotes as "noise" from trolls.
Also because Lemmy has Local and All, maybe there are people who, not caring that the community is Games, see this in their Local/All feed and do not like video games or Wolfenstein so they just hit downvote for "dislike" and move on.
Sometimes I fat-finger my phone and downvote something I didn't mean to. I always take it back, but I imagine not everyone would undo their accidental downvote. Especially if the sequence is downvote -> crash -> reopen tabs -> wait where was I, whatever I don't care enough to undo one downvote online
I’ve also downvoted things on accident before. Not yet on Lemmy because I have to more deliberately choose through Voyager. But it’s only a matter of time.
For no reason at all? No, no, no. For all of the right reasons? Oh, for sure.
In wolfenstein? No.
Blasting Nazis in wolfesntein is fun but not as fun as the real thing >:3
"No reason"
They're nazis, friend! That's all the reason we need!
I've been punching nazis and Italian fascists (as well as shooting, crushing skulls with heavy objects, blowing them up etc) in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle since around christmas.
It's a great time.
Waiting for Sniper Elite blow Elon's balls off DLC
Let the mods flow in (as in game mods, not moderators...)
Hmmm, reinstalling Wolfenstein doesn't sound too bad.
I've been toying with the idea. So many good memories from New Colossus. It might be linear, it's such a great story. Not Shakespeare great, but honest b-movie great.
I agree with that. I think it's time for Terror-Billy to go on a rampage again.

Wolfenstein 3D was woke propaganda. At least that will be the official article if Trump and the right get their hands on Wikipedia like they've already said they want to.
Not for "no reason at all"
I was literally googling earlier today to see if there were any updates on the next installment. Maybe it was subconsciously influenced by current events?
Machine games has been working on Indiana Jones for the last few years, I doubt we'll see anything for a while.
Hold up, so they went from making the Wolfenstein games, to making an Indiana Jones game where (according to people here) you beat up Nazis?
Based studio...
Standing on a pile of Nazi corpses definitely reminded me of Wolfenstein, even as Indy.

bj would have been beyond devastated about what is happening now
There's a line in New Colossus where he's in the USA during a parade for the Nazis and everyone is cheering and he says something like "look at them, cheering for their own destruction" and I keep being reminded of it
BJ saw it in 60s US, and you know what he did?
He got to work.
I've had some fun Anti-Nazi movies playing while I work-from-home lately, like Inglourious Basterds and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
I recommend The Dirty Dozen. It came out in the 60s, so you're not getting Tarantino level gore. However, it gets so close to that line anyway.
spoiler
A horde of Nazis and their wives/mistresses get burned to a crisp and exploded while hiding out in a wine cellar. American soldiers are dropping grenades and pouring gasoline down the air vents.

Brutal Wolfenstein is a very fun game, you truly get to experience spilling Nazi blood :3
But 2nd amendment states your duty as a citizen to grab a gun and defend against nazis irl?
Someone is going to release a Trump administration reskin and it's going to be spectacularly popular.
:Alt+Tab out of Wolfenstien: What?
I would suggest Indiana Jones and the great circle as well for this.
Shadowrun: Dragonfall has a satisfying mission where you get to shoot up a neo-nazi compound.
I'd love a new Wolfenstein-style game that diverges from the simple divide of giving them helmets.
It's simple morbid truth that these people are human beings, who have committed their minds to unimaginable cruelty. It'd be fun to have more games about reciprocating that cruelty.
Mortal Kombat's fatalities gave me a big ick factor when they leaned into cruelty and pain (and thankfully turned towards looney creativity to be entertaining). But I could see the former being a bit more valid when there's universal reasoning behind why it's being applied.
it doesn't have to be Wolfenstein specifically. i've been blasting some in Metro not too long ago.
I've been playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein! Having a blast revisiting a childhood classic and blasting through Nazi scum
Yeah absolutely, really itching to just bash the first smarmy fascist I see.
In minecraft, y'know?
I was actually thinking about picking it up now
It's not for no reason.
I played the original on Apple ][.
It's ALWAYS been a good time to kill nazis.
