The fucking flush michael-laugh

I finally started playing through the Machinehead Wolfenstein reboot series, and TNO at least is pretty great so far. It’s incredible that the game turns 11 this year when in my mind it’s still a fancy next-gen title chomsky-yes-honey

Speaking of which, it is starting to look its age. I’m usually not one to complain about graphics given that I regularly play games that are 20+ years old but even I noticed the flat lighting and rough textures that feel like something you’d see on the Xbox 360. 2014 was pretty early for 8th gen so I guess it makes sense for it to look a bit transitional. Alien Isolation came around the same time but I remember that game looking much more impressive when I played it some years back.

I do love how absolutely despicable every single Nazi character is in this game, just completely irredeemable assholes. I just hope the game’s not going to turn out too annoyingly liberal

    Reminds me of how in the Gears of War series humanity almost goes extinct by the end of the third game but in the 25-year time jump between that and the fourth game, the survivors re-establish the horribly callous quasi-fascist military dictatorship that ultimately caused the apocalypse in the first place. One of the main characters even goes on to develop an army of police robots that are deployed to kill anyone opposed to the state and nobody questions this at all

    I mean, the Gears of War games are all incredibly stupid, but still
