It never really bothered me before, but don't you think it's weird that there's a whole industry around the commercialization of World War 2? Films, games, books etc
It strikes me as strange
It never really bothered me before...
Jewish fetishism over the war they started, and a humiliation ritual against everyone they duped and got killed.
wait until you learn about military industrial complex
Lots of stories to tell. It was a pretty major event so of course there is going to be plenty of ways to explore it. Plus, we were the good guys fighting the evil guys so people will want to glorify it. I don't know if I'd call it a whole industry commercializing it but it's just an interesting setting that everyone is somewhat familiar with.
man, steel division normandy 44 was a lot of fun. too bad eugen didnt keep the same style and scale in sd2
no
No. What a retarded ass question.
retarded ahh question :skull: blud thinks he's in school asking questions n shi luhmow :skull:
No, not only was nostalgia hitting as it was the 50th anniversary of WW2 at the time, but Saving Private Ryan was a smash hit that led to Medal of Honor being a smash hit and the industry just loves to ape a trend.
Same reason the 2000’s and Modern Military Shooters followed Black Hawk Down and the Iraq War. Just the trend at the time.
Probably because it was the most significant crisis in human world history and happened so recently there are still people who lived during it. Yeah it's going to live rent free in our heads for some time yet
There's a whole industry profiting off current wars, isn't that stranger?
WW2 is literally the most influential event in human history
I've never really thought about it, but someone has to be making all these tanks, guns, shells, planes etc, and if the government is buying them, then these weapons manufacturers are making absolute bank
I might even go so far as to say weapons manufacturers run the world, not governments
Jews make them
ww2 is the creation myth of the modern american empire. if the government lasts a hundred more years they'll still be pushing it as the central turning point of all humanity.
What about when I was born?
are you Hitler?
As far as I know, no
But there's still time
It's the most kino war and also the war that lends itself to video game mechanics the best.
Pre-ww1 shooters:
slow ass muskets
no vehicles
line formations
trench warfare
Modern setting
BVR engagements
missiles
lock-on shit
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
World War 2 has that perfect balance of aesthetic, mechanization and technology that makes it THE BEST SETTING FOR VIDEO GAMES
A good story has a beginning, a middle and an end. It has recurring characters and a villain to defeat.
I disagree. Game devs just lack imagination and are too chicken shit to try new settings. And we can't even get a proper WW2 game either, devs need to slap modern optics on everything.
Zoomers won't remember but in early 2000's there was extreme WW2 fps fatigue. You had classics like RTCW, COD, Allied Assault, BF1942, and then ten thousand imitators. It's funny how some people were put off when COD switched to present day but when the game came out it was a breath of fresh air.
Guess who the government borrows money from.
Who?
No? Even before WW2 we had stories about wars. The most famous story of the classical era are literally about the Trojan War and some dude trying to get home from that war and going on a bunch of wacky sidequests.
Before WW2 we had WW1 flicks. Before that, stories about various imperial shenanigans, the Spanish War, the Civil War, the Revolutionary War, etc.
We had proto-James Bonds like Bulldog Drummond, stories about men that went looking for adventure because peacetime bored them.
WW2 just happened to happened to coincide with the growth of film and then its veterans came home to make stories about their experiences. Then the Korean War. Then Vietnam. Then Gulf War. Then the War on Terror. There's never been a generation of Americans since its founding that hasn't known some kind of war.
Plus FPSs have been the most popular genre on the market since the turn of the century, not that weird that a big ass war gets a lot of representation in video games.
WWII is extremely easy to romanticize. It's the "safest" to make a lot of entertainment media about as it, easy to slap a good-vs-bad idealized frame on it, and it has a fuckton of highlights where you could follow countless heroic motherfuckers in any theatre doing ridiculous shit. It could be the year 2555 and WWII media could still be made in sizable quantities.
Most other real world conflicts before and after are mostly miserable and boring, everyone having a bad time.
It strikes me as strange
Retard, all empires glorify their wars, America isn't different
It strikes me as strange
Why?
Maybe not strange, but disrespectful? As I've gotten older I'm starting to think that maybe trivialising brutal deaths isn't actually good and the commercialisation of real tragedy isn't good for us
See also the amount of Holocaust stuff
It never really bothered me before, but don't you think it's weird that
It strikes me as strange
what a waste of our time reading your useless words
Your words are as empty as your soul
No he's right. OP says many words with precious little meaning. What a faggot.
Also what's up with 6 mill being used so many times in history?
why does the deadliest war in human history have so much pop culture set in it
It's not so much that, it's hard for me to explain
Most kino ww2 gun
Jews have a prophecy that says "you shall return to the homeland minus six million" so they think they can lie to god and say it happened and took over palenstine
Our modern society was built entirely on the mythos stablished after WWII.
fascisms are the enemy
democracy and the nations that represent it are good and always win in the end
communism is based
jews are victims and you awe them more than you can ever pay for
nobody forced hitler to sperg out into all out warfare....
He should've just played the long con but instead dragged Fascism down with him
Blaming the victim
good goy
Nobody forced him to attack Poland tho...
It's the founding ur-myth of western liberal globalism.
poles were massacaring the minority german populace in the Danzig territory stolen from Germany after ww1, he had no choice
You got proof besides from a german back source?
en.wikipedia.org
polish kikes murdered 56000+ Germans. why would Hitler stand by and do nothing
between 3 and 4 September 1939, during the German invasion of Poland.
Lmao ofc shit like this happens. Don't act like the germans didn't do reprisal attacks.
also I cant find anything n the fifty thousand germans
That is hilarious if true. Do you have any links? Can't exactly google this shit.
It was the biggest war in human history, it's not a surprise it's going to greatly shape cultural storytelling. What is also not a surprise is how much it has rapidly begun to fall off as a setting. If the means of media storytelling like that existed back then we'd have had no end of Napoleonic stories and games and books circa 1860.
Modern warfare is getting worse and worse. It will reach a point in the next 20 years or so where any game wanting to depict modern combat needs to really fictionalize it as it'll be:
VCOG x1 to x12 magnification so every man is a sniper
Thermal optics on that too
Drone grenade buddy who is a hunter-seeker-explosive device.
Optic, or even just your visor, highlights automatically in brackets any human target.
irl modern warfare is already like a video game. you control a drone with a xbox controller to hunt people down
Was that quote recorded?
No. War is cool and people dying is awesome we should get more media about it.
