I got the game and found the kill cams very enjoyable.
Keep up the good work,Yahtzee.
Now give Diablo 3 review next week!

"Nazis are like Skittles: You can rid the world of as many as you like and it won't leave a bad taste in your mouth."
Jesus Yahtzee, your similes and metaphors are just plain dandy. Where do you come up with it?

oh goody another game where you get to mow down legions of Germans and not have to feel guilty about it just because they're "nazis"
as a German, I'm really getting tired of this crap. how many more freaking WW2 shooters do we need? I GET IT, we Germans were the villains back then and Hitler's historical demonization is more than deserved, but murdering hundreds of German soldiers won't change anything.
you know what the difference between a "Nazi" soldier and an ally solider was back then? the direction their guns were pointing.
that's ****ing it.
you're not fighting Hitler, Himmler or Goebbels in those games. you're fighting normal people who are defending their homeland.
nothing more.
you might as well control a nazi sniper and kill ally soldiers and it would be the same bloody thing, except for the the whole nazi stigma.

Ha, that was the best Zero Punctuation in years!
I especially liked the spider bit on the credits

what bothers me is how lazy this whole thing is
Nazisploitation is what it is
the devs were unable to come up with an original setting and villain, so they just made it WW2 and Nazis. it's the laziest you can possibly get as a writer. they don't have to tell any backstory or exposition, because everyone knows that nazis are bad
Player: uhm, why should I care?
Dev: those guys are Nazis
Player: alright BAM BAM BAM
why are you killing people in this game?
because the hero has a personal motivation to kill them? no
because the story writes a villain that is hatable (like that Nazi guy in Indiana Jones)? no
you kill them purely because they're Nazis and Nazis are bad. how shallow is that?

I used litlle thingy called "native tongue".TheIronRuler said:
You see, I am from Ukraine and, for many centuries we were, let's say, slaves of Russian Empire, so we had to learn their language.
Today, average ukrainian knows at least two languages: Ukrainian and Russian (unlike average russian, who mastered only a single tongue, he-he).
Not that that was really the actual point of my post, but the majority of his kills were indeed with his sniper rifle.ravenshrike said:
