Abaddon style
That wouldn't even be a mini, it would be a macro
The battlefleet Gothic mini is honestly very cute though
It's adorable
I had to explain a gaunt carpet to my friend
"You don't like buying it, you don't like painting it, you don't like playing against it, you don't like playing it"
One day it shall return, this I swear

i want to stick it to a metal plate and wack someone with it
Good for you didn't ask
It is made of God's flimsiest plastic @queen laurel
Bloom has a cute pfp which is the standard by which I judge all online interactions
how hard can it be to reinforce with a bit of scrap metal and barbed wire lying around in the junkyard
Dont make a scene dude lol
If you knew this was going to happen then why did you return
So how am I judged ?
Like everyone has a universal opinion here that talking to you isn't the most fun experience
Well that's going fast 
I mean, technically its not off topic lol
it is just kind of making fun of someone for embarrassing behavior lol
did u know?
the Adepta Sororitas, colloquially called the "Sisterhood," whose military arm is also known as the Sisters of Battle and formerly as the Daughters of the Emperor, are an all-female division of the Imperium of Man's state church known as the Ecclesiarchy or, more formally, as the Adeptus Ministorum.
and they are known for using power armor and guns to kill people wowow
also they are very religious, sometimes their faith allows then to overcome their fear and doubt
wow

The Imperial guard is the- Wait, that's already been said.
Despite being called the Guard, they're actually often used to attack. 
Which you might think is misleading. Perhaps even quite mean.
I think the guard are cooler then space marines
Just regular dudes doing what they can against impossible odds
Hard not to like them. At least I think so.
I need to read one of the guard books after I finish the necron ones
Either Cain or gaunt
Even though they really aren't sometimes people's cup of tea at least you can appreciate the bravery they have
I recommend the Severina Raine novels

More 

Yea Lesk got a novel and an omnibus last year
they deffo are pumping these out
and tbf von Shard got a novel and I think 2 short stories last year
best you can do sometimes
I need to read the newest Bequin novel
The only SM I kinda want a novel on are the Marine Malevolent, and to see somewhat why they are like they are
Are those the heavily mutated marines?
It's the SM that are assholes
the ones that bomb civillians etc
and steal shit from other Chapters
like, not even in a funny way, straight up robbing them lol
Heh. Not as specific as it should be
If there are some "Nice" SM
Those are the "worst" SM (that aren't Chaos)
Marines Malevolent, is all that needs to be said.
someone in the imperium should catch on and start naming their new foundings more specifically
though saying that, there's sometimes where some 'nasty' names are loyal and 'nice' names turn traitor
Who wins
The Marines Malevolent, the Sisters Sinister, the Necrons Nefarious, the Guards Ghastly, the Tau Terrible, the Drukhari Dastardly, the Eldar Evil or the Votann Vile?

this reminds me of how they couldnt call the Sinister Six by their name in the spiderman cartoon
so they dubbed them the Insidious Six
god i hate comics
time to open up synonym
Tyrannical Tyranids
Literally have malevolent in their name
Who thought that was a good idea
Orks odiferous
Oh I got even funnier things, like how the Imperium genuinely had ships called Murder class cruisers before that design, for some reason, went Traitor!
I mean to be fair, they did murder things before that
Stimky Orks 
how could anybody expect the traitorous legion to turn to horus??
They do work up a stink
It is true most of them are already nutcases even during their loyalist days lol
Thats alot of faces
More like Not enough faces
So why didnt the emperor make more primarchs?
Because plot
HE HAD THE TECHNOLOGY
WHY IS HE SO DUMB
Like I get chasing after the primarchs because if they fell to the wrong hands, who knows what they'd do, but why didnt he have a contigency plan in cases something was fucked up with them in a way he wasnt anticipating?
Honestly you could make like an entire r/arkham list of shit the Emperor has done that is stupid
Oh if what people say in here is true, definitely
Dilara Aos question,
can a character ride a creature that is mutated by chaos but since this creature is only mutated by chaos it doesn't serve chaos so they tame it completely well?
U wot
No you cant
a chaos creature like in WHF is usually completely feral and will attack you
you also dont have the bond of a sane steed like you would with a non-chaos corrupted one
So if I want my ogre tyrant to ride a toad dragon needs to be corrupted by nurgle
Well, your ogre tyrant could be following chaos or at least dealing with chaotic individuals
He could have gotten the toad dragon as a gift for his services
Ghark Ironskin got something like that with the chorfs
yeah he could work as a mercenary and he got rewarded a toad dragon
Mhm!
On how well he'd be able to tame the beast is a different story but its warhammer, exceptions to the rule always happen
say other ogors won't mind right because to their eyes it's just good business and that's why he got rewarded with a good pet
Well yeah its more that its like being gifted a radioactive horse
just dont be surprised when your skin starts melting off and glowing
Its ogors, they'll be fiiine
I was going to have him basically have a blessing of the maw and win an eating contest with a toad dragon
you don't look a radioactive horse in the mouth or something
And that's how he was able to tame it but unfortunately that doesn't seem to work
Do you think any ogre has been dumb enough to eat nurglings
yes
Like that one slaanesh lord
Absolutely
Aos they have the ability to preserve demon meat with magic
they'd probably die tbh
Acktually 🤓 there was a glut of ogors that loved eating Nurgle-infested wildlife and daemons in their codex
its so funny lmfao
tungsten lined stomach 💀
The roasted nurglings in black talon were something
talking about ogres
Actually sounded gross as hell lol
those are ogres
i mean the wfb ones
Khorne Bloodletters taste like takis
It is, the tribe tyrant loved the slimy feeling of nurglite stuff going down his throat
new lore that wasn't in the old world, i consider them separate
I’m talking about the slaaneshi lord who was roasting nurglings
Ohhh didnt know that
they went as back as changing Malekith's name to Malerion in WHF
so the connections very much remain
well that threat from disney was looking mighty scary to geedubs
seems like a suit thing more than a lore thing
...
lmao i dont follow whf/aos why would they do this
Malekith is literally a disney character
its a stolen name
malerion sounds like a knockoff WoW npc
also like
disclaimer: WHFB died because no one bought it and they couldn't copyright anything
the O.G lore literally had one of the siblings or ancestors of Malekith's literally named something close to Malerion
i forgot the name
WHFB did just literally die to poor sales
Anyway for those that want to know a list of things Ogors are able to eat: https://www.reddit.com/r/AoSLore/comments/nn5keb/excerpts_ogor_mawtribes_battletome_ogors_can_eat/
aslong as he still says Malekith, king of naggaroth when i click on him in total war, idc
Coincidentally Morathi is now Femaleriom
The system was very obtuse to get into
total war isnt canon so

idc
Old world is better designed
keep coping i guess
To get into
Malaria?
Maleria...
it's cooler than the canon
To be fair its one planet
aka Not-Earth
with Not-Europe
and Not-Africa
it's*
and Not-Asia
Super Not Earth 2
I meant like compared to WHFB
To be approachable
Lol
yeah because the old game was a pile of
As a physical game
SHIT
What fresh hell?
Old Gw management was also crap
Mfer complain about Ferrus but somehow Malerion is better smh
Not denying that
Better than Malerion
Tbh
generational hater right here, I respect the hustle
Im gonna place your fucking spine ontop of my fireplace you motherfu-
GW is much better then they are now
Ferrus Manus.
hey at least ferrus manus was allegedly named that AFTER he got the iron hands and people were just describing him
Drukhari
Also he’s not even literally, it would be Ferrum Manus if he was literally
Drew Carrey
Smh
Look, lets be real: Warhammer isnt great with names overall
Metal.... Hand.
Primarch of the... Metal hands...
Idk some names are fine
Whos Soul is it Anyway?
nah golg bundle of stick is peak
I'm just glad they're increasing the model prices in June
Golg Fa-
I HATE Dwarden and Aelves
I’m not 
Price increases again
I HATE DUARDIN
Dawi
I HATE THAT DAMN NAME

Soulblight gravelords are fine
WORST PART IS THEY LITERALLY CALL THEM VAMPIRES IN THE AOS BOOKS
Imo
Orruks and ogors
OGORS IS okay
IF I HAD TO GUESS IT'S CAUSE THEY'RE VAMPIRES
was better when they were called dwarf, and dwarfs plural because gw couldn't call them dwarves
Oh lmao
It’s the entire faction
Name sucks
Vampires + Skelton kings
i like Ogor because it sounds like how an Ogre would say ogre
Are they not vampires elsewhere?
I think it’s fine
Ogor is fine
get it because their Souls are Blighted and they are Lords of Graves
Mostly.
Soulblight gravelords are fine
Orruks sucks cause it's a lazy copyright name
Sanguine Suckies didnt have the same ring I guess
Yeah Soulblight's okay as well as the Flesheater Courts
DEAHTRATTLE
Deathrattle lmfao

The skeletons were not creative
they should've named them skellingtons
Tbh they’re just called skeletons normally lol
Beef Skellingtons
Real
I mean who thinks of this
I made it im sorry
Its okay Nagash lets get you back to bed
Nagash has tried to end the world from WHF to AOS like... 5 times now?
Nagash is fucking petty with EVERYONE
Nagash be like
"Im gonna make an entire faction whos origins are me fucking them over and making them into what they will suffer doing the most"
Skaven be skavening tho
skavens got new jezzail
i am pretty sure they messed up his plans more than I can count
Rizzail*
they got a double barred jezzail
and by new i mean, the same model but not ugly
SHUT UP 
Skaven rizz....
i will drag you to the flesh labs and graph you into a hellpit abomination
Hobo Ratman with a shotgun jezzail
I want a hater as strong as Nagash in 40k
Me
40k can't have good characters or else the plot has to advance
lmao
this confirms that Cain will advance the plot singlehandedly
To be honest though I can't wait for the warhammer fantasy purists to buy the uglier one
I doubt anyone’s gonna care much
Uglier one is better cause you can put it in a sock and kill someone with it
I love metal models
tbf, the old one still holds up
it doesnt
only the faces are bad
lmao
You joke but you do know they really are like this right
Imagine pissing off nagash so hard you always end up being second in command, you have body guards that kill everything before you can kill them and you're always the inferior in your marrige
I can appreciate old garbage
Nagash is the greatest hater
his crime btw was killing his brothers like nagash did
Alexa, pull up the gondorian knights of dol amroth kit from the early 2000s
and nagash got mad because they were worshippers of Nagash iirc
Well if Nagash didn’t have double standards he wouldn’t have any standards at all
yes i have been listening to tamurkhan and he sounds more reasonable than these people
I love that the ghosts that accompany him apparently constantly tell him that he's only technically in command due to certain criteria
Alright boys, what are we mad about today?
Ambatukhan
bro hates his unlife lmao
These look neat
I think it was the ones on foot that were the worst models ever made
not on horseback
I dont blame him
looks good-ish to me
That face is great
faces are hard
Damn it
GW is not good at faces
those faces are incredibly good
for the time lol
like insanely good
yep
Of course Duncan collects them
good old finecast models
God this model looks terrifying to move
MESBG is one of the most affordable wargames, wish it was more popular in the US
What were the AOS modeling team on lol
But it's so beautiful
She looks gorgeous
oh its beautiful alright
Movie Gondor armour wise goes way harder than it has any right to
I'm just terrified of the singular connection point lol
I'm sure they've done the math
but like jesus
5 lbs of crack after chewing on a blunt stick
Who's the spooky shost lady?
some of the crap they make are insane
Lady Olyander Mortarch of Grief from AoS
she was a based and murder pilled political climber who ended up as a Queen of a kingdom
in Shyish
very famous greifer in the mortal realms
Wow these actually don't look that horrible
anyways Nagash thought her murder of anyone in her way was hilarious
whoever made the spirit hosts kit should be sent to jail
but didn't like how she was running the kingdom + how a plague of nurgle was there
there was an OG kit that was much worse iirc, those are newer
so iirc he ripped out her soul and damned her to an eternity of torment lol
I'm trying to remember the exact kit
I wish the MESBG minis were slightly larger
she ended up being given a shard of Nagash's divinity when Nagash realized he enjoyed giving people comically horrid punishments in death
so she's in charge of all the nighthaunts now
I like painting ring wraiths
I like her.
either way her punishment is that she never will feel the love of her subjects ever lol
and she's eternally sad
Rip
Yep even with victories, she only feels sorrow
since she had to hide her joy in the fact she had murdered like pretty much anyone in her way
behind the fact she was sad lol
post nut clarity be like
TRUE!!!
either way Nagash is a dick lol
So the death god is punishing her for killing?
Nighthaunts lore is such an interesting part
He punished her for not worshipping him 
Well that's petty
Nagash is a petty ass mf'er
is thrones of decay any good
That is glorious nagash
I like him. Carry on, King.
Such is the power of Nagash
is the human faction it adds nuln?
best dlc ever made for tww3
He turns doctors into murder machines lol
because he doesn't like how Doctors deny him souls
by saving people from dying
is nuln the purple lady that rides a dragon?
elspeth, her faction is Wissenland and Nuln
tww3 bored the shit out of me compared to 2, I have no idea why
yeah
Does he reward people or is it nothing but Ls handed out?
I put like 250 hours in it and just was snoozing
She has specialized artillery upgrades
she will bomb the **** out of you
she's probably better at the job than Gelt
but i haven't really seen him
but yeah all the Nighthaunt have some sort of punishment
gelt is the wizard spammer now
because Nagash doesn't like them for some petty reason
you can get a full wizard stack at turn 10
Chainrasps are slaves
Nagash? Lmao no, even serial killers are punished by him
they removed his artillery based aspect?
and Nagash thinks slavery is hlarious
idk
so they stay in chains in death lmao
i just know they reworked his entire campaign to focus around the different college of magic
Rip
well that's something
every empire lord has now completely new and unique faction mechanics, exclusive to them
good
Is the vampire skeleton deathstack still viable in TW3?
They really needed it
yes
I wanna try playing Vamp Counts sometime
Like, hey here's a full army with zero upkeep
very much so
aslong as you have a caster, that's just average vampire count gameplay
without a caster, uh
They're not very good but. You can have like four of em
Strategy? Skill?
Not in my kingdom.
iirc some of the nighthaunt who drowned in life constantly feel like they're drowning in undeath lol
thanks nagash
Jesus
man i love having access to some of the most busted range units in the game as nurgle
Guns > swords
same with people who got burned alive lol
you could already get p much anything
Note to self, avoid dying that way
note to self avoid angering nagash in some random way
so he just keeps you as a undead slave rather then a tortured undead one
Great deal, that
yeah vassal recruitment will definitely get you the same stuff but at least with this you don't have to worry about keeping up with it
Yeah but he seems to screw you over even if you worship him.
In that one hen you could actually at least get the skull cracker mortar
he screws you over less
, you get to be a normal undead slave. Maybe even a skeleton who leads other skeletons
But its still a shit deal regardless
Least chaos gives you a chance of becoming a cool slave
Maybe the vampire counts are onto something
they're still slaves in AoS
tbf, just less so lol
anyways kill nagash or something idk
Make him alive? Like casting heal on an undead.
Well resurrection magic and such was developed from undeath magic, yes?
Would that work or would he just become more powerful? Idk how magic works in the fantasy setting.
I would say its two sides of the same coin
Undeath magic used by the vampires and those part of Nagash's forces in WHF is developed from the same source of magic that resurrection and I think light magic(?) that is used by Settra and the other Tomb Kings
I dont think it'd have much effect on Nagash
Well. Shit.
Also that
Somewhat related but from what I know of Tomb Kings, its fun to see its another flavor of skeleton people by making them skeletons with souls still intact
Like the normal skeleton warrirors in TWW have their souls still, albeit less in tact in comparison to their leaders

so what even is age of sigmar?
is it like a sequel to the old world?
havent heard many people talk about it
A lot of people talk about it tbh, you just arent in their sphere like most of us i think
Yes it's basically a collection of multiple realms and is basically on the higher side of fantasy now
Its the continuation of the Old World after Archaon destroyed it yeah
yeah true
The reason why we don't hear much about it is because it's basically less recognizable than 40k
Like if you spend a good chunk of your time there you would see it but if you don't
Not much
Every winds of magic became its own physical realm basically and its Order vs Chaos with some other destructive factions sprinkled in between.
Imagine He-Man but warhammer lol
Even here we regularly discuss it
My understanding is that End Times basically just shot the setting in the back of the head out behind the shed and Age of Sigmar is GW's attempt to bring it back to life.
Yesn't
Its not really an attempt
Am I close or is that off base?
AoS isn't really attempting to reusrect fantasy, it is its own thing
Old World is the attempt to bring it back
^
the Old World was dying because it made no money, GW at the end of the day did the right decision because AoS makes a shit ton of bucks in comparison
And AoS is very great
Yeah end times was bad but Age of sigmar is not at fault and is actually good
A lot of people actually blame age of sigmar for the end of fantasy
Well ok then
Its also generally just less restrictive compared to WHF
Mini wise AoS win over 40k every day of the week
Like to this day people just hate age of sigmar for no reason
Why would they blame Age of Sigmar for the end of fantasy?
Because they saw it as an attempt to replace it
Yep
Ah. Very well then
They can't separate it as another different setting so they just go ape shit
But since you are a new fan, this is the most basic explanation I can provide:
Cause they see AoS as the reason that fantasy had to be killed
When it's more about if AoS wasn't there there wouldn't have been any fantasy continuation
And probably no Old World
Hahah
I'm saving that
This format works for so much I love it
Lmao you're welcome
basically you dont really have to care about the setting if it doesnt interest you
people just like to shit on it "because it killed fantasy so it sucks ass"
Yeah warhammer has 3 three settings now
fantasy is returning
Aos if you fancy high fantasy more
And 40k if you prefer sci-fi
Best way to understand how AoS is, is to think of the Norse Planes of existences, multiple "infinite" realms linked from various places by realm bridges
but is AoS entirely new factions aside from chaos orrr
A lot are new but come from past/fantasy factions
Seems like AoS is an entirely different thing
Yes and the factions they are returning are actually better than warhammer fantasy
Except beastmen they got discontinued because no one plays them
Yes and no it keeps components from the old setting while also improving upon them and adding new stuff
Like the aesthetics of the dwarves elves and orcs can still be seen there
Like i said it's more high fantasy
Beastmen
Despised in lore by the chaos god
And in real life by GW and fans

I think High fantasy is a better angle for the setting.
It's both hilarious and sad
Least Beastmen are still in lore I guess
Idk they just needed more models than "Furry" and I think they could've done okay
Like apparently there was description of rhino headed and insect headed beastmen which is cool as fuck
mfw when 40k space marine tactical squad kit is the reason WHFB died

News of squatted armies and lines, some of which are a surprise. Some theatrics but also how to move on.
00:00 storytime
10:0...
This has a nice intro to how early AoS happened
Warhammer 40k is dieselpunk
Yeah fascism is kind of the thing that is apart of dieselpunk.
What
Yeah you didn't know that.
Hoæh?!
I put the tired in satire
Warhammer 40k is just dieselpunk on drugs.
Mostly militarism and war is good for advancement in those series. But it's clunky machines that are huge.
That run on gas
I would say it's more sci fi gothicpunk with sprinkles of dieselpunk
Dieselpunk is more space marines, and militarum
The war machines especially and the Imperium of Man.
I don't think it fit as Dieselpunk, neither the message nor the aesthetic
Dieselpunk is based on WW2 heavily.
And military industrial complex and the machines less then fascism.
But that is only one part of WW2 as there was many conflicting sides.
But the military industrial complex played a big part in that war.
And the military industrial complex is quite important to humanity fighting wars, and the factories in 40k are heavily dieselpunk.
40k has too many aesthetics to be just diesel
you are solely talking about the Imperium, which isnt what makes up the setting as a faction
and even the Imperium has steampunk and other stuff too
The orks are dieselpunk too.
Madmax is literally dieselpunk you sure about that.
It's dieselpunk still.
It kinda does
post-apocalypse is the main selling point
the atom-punk shit is just half of the setting, most of it is junk/apocalyptic scrap stuff
Fallout is more like post post apocalyptic
^
Since humanity is rebuilding
You are focusing on 1 aesthetic and saying it encompasses the entire setting
and yeah that
Cyberpunk (the game) is cyberpunk not because it look like it, but because it's also has specific messages and themes
Yeah this is a big generalisation
Damn warhammer is dieselpunk is great bait
It kinda is yeah
late but if you want Dieselpunk then Wolfenstein is where its at lol
fucking love this shit
More like LaserKraftTWERK
I like how both are fueled with diesel lol
the flaming bomb launcer
and the fucking laser cannon
they really did not need to put this much thought into these weapons but man 💀
I like how a lot of the nazi energy guns reload with diesel lol
and the fancy moon ones don't
they got that ancient jewish alien technology 💀
LMAO
electrokraftwerk is also fun even though its from youngblood
I like the fucking tesla shotgun
I appreciate that its like "lmao no way the germans could accomplish this shit, they stole STCs instead."
Youngblood 💀
the new wolfenstien games getting worse gameplay wise with each iteration 💀
I still enjoy the animation and sound design from youngblood
I really like the new hachet and knife takedowns
same here, just an overall shame at what happened 
New Colossus wasnt bad but it was deffo too Marvel in some areas lol
lots of cool ideas that were undercooked
Did the good guys win in the end
yes
its fine, its def worse gameplay wise
you're really squishy
that's all that matters 
they kill Frau Engel on live national TV with a hatchet through her skull
you got half the HP from the first game
lmao
I think my favorite takedown from youngblood
is the nazi officer like
eye stab lmao
with the knife
tbh youngblood is just unfortunate lol
wolfenstien the new order is still the best of the 3 gameplay wise
except for the stabbing quick time events
those fucking sucked
Bring back quick time events in all games
god of war style
press O to leave your daughter
Any quick time event mechanics is just the lowest possible attempt at player interaction in a video game
Youngblood isn’t something I super like, but I do enjoy the other 3 modern Wolfenstein greatly
Same tbh, they are all great

The Nazis get really bullet spongey
For very little reason
I guess you could argue the whole supersoldatin thing buffing them up, but yah I get that criticism
I get that for the supersoldiers but like
Not the normal grunts
Why is that Nazi officer still alive after I mag dump him with the smgs lol
its one of the parts where the arcade'y feeling deffo gets a bit 💀
I outa find time to play through new colossus and old blood again. I did say I was gonna do that after I had just finished the first game too
I do think it’s funny how the new order put in so much effort in the like
Allies final attempt to win
And there’s a bunch of unique guns
That appear nowhere else in the game
Like they’re just reskins but it’s fun
I do actually like that they went into that much effort
Lotta love for one of the first fps series
Shame a lotta old ips just sit in a cabinet somewhere being sat on by corpos like a dragon
If we ever get another new Wolfenstien I hope it takes gameplay primarily from new order/old blood tbh
That smiling friends episode made me sad
Gwimbly!
I hope Accursed Farms succeeds in this suit over game preservation. I really do
Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie and the Aphrodite…..scene…..in GoW 2 or whatever it was made young Eternal realize that maybe girls were actually kinda neat
Very uh, interesting quick time event there
Now I will say, GoW was kinda just brutal as fuck to everyone
Idk what the message was even
The new games are much more thought out
The new games are very good story wise
The original three or four or whatever you wanna include are very just
Edgy
Kratos angry, watch him come up with a fucked up and ironic way to kill these gods
Basically revenge is great up until 3, then the Norse stuff is basically going through how much pain and suffering Kratos caused, honestly its handled REALLY well as a retrospective in-universe and out of it.
Yeah
the devs deffo by the end of 3 kinda made you realise how awful of a person kratos is i think
Uhh. Kratos is an angry man who in his pain and grief destroys everything around him
It makes the previous games a lot better
yeah exactly
it took him 3 fucking games to realise hes a bad person
he very much says he killed as many people who were deserving as many who were not
Like, Kratos you’re a dude living in Ancient Greece, just get a new wife and kid.
Smh
Him opening Pandora’s Box, sacrificing Pandora, making the gods worse, and not even finding hope
LMAO
What a gut punch
greece moment
Also this yeah
its cheesy but it works
There was always a 50/50 chance they weren’t gonna live anyways
Yeah it kinda also went to show how the people who didnt like GoW4 didnt realise Kratos was already heading towards such a personality change by the end of 3
apparently making him a remorseful/guilt-ridden person is "bad" lol
there are people who didnt like GoW4? what
One can only be so angry for so long
Also obviously there’s a theme of cycles which in general is a theme in Greek mythology anyways
Percy Jackson did a similar thing of breaking the cycle or trying to not repeat old mistakes
The percy jackson books are great
With lots of violence
Kratos fixes the mistakes of the past by punching people really hard but he’s doing it cause he’s a dad now
it's such an incredibly good development of the character and the narrative. it retroactively makes the previous 3 games better by taking some of the "HEY TEENAGER LOOK AT THIS YOU CAN TEAR SOME STUPID GOD'S HEAD OFF ISN'T THIS BADASS?" edge off and making all of it part of Kratos' journey into a character with way more depth and nuance
||Hey if you find me a peaceful revolution let me know lol.||
There’s a few but I’m not gonna get into that
Moving forward and recognizing one’s mistakes is a important point of growth
Yeah it’s really well done
God of War 1-3 > the new stuff
Bah
I will say the one where you go after the fates was probably my favorite
That had some very creative concepts
They always did really cool takes on the myths
I like a number of the not numbered entries as well. Like Kratos trying to reconcile with his brother
Not sure what he thought was gonna happen killing the Fates though
shit there was a prequel on ps3 that was really good
Forget what it was called
yo speaking of ps3 whatever happened to killzone?
Who the hell knows. Same for Resistance Fall of Man
I’d absolutely do a gsc themed around the Chimera
They ran out of ideas after they switched from WWII referencing to Cold War referencing
I did really like that concept won’t lie
Brian Cox was Visari in those games just realized last night when watching a video
Killzone 2 and 3 are some of my fondest gaming memories
The concept of shadowfall was a bit bizarre
yea we murdernuked these guys let's give them half the planet and try to co exist
Yeah in universe it’s uh
Like why would you ever trust the Helghast lol
They’re so hilariously over the top evil
I’d like a game in the damn Asian theatre for a change.
Like when is somebody gonna do a game on the PRC vs Imperial Japan, or the Soviet invasion of Manchuria
I have a friend who adamantaly defends the Helghast
"they were sent to this planet to die and poisoned by their own planet, their sovereignty was constantly violated" etc etc etc
Ffs they’re called the Helghast
Their origin is tragic but like
It stops being tragic when they go all
“Jsut a wee bit of genocide”
Just a wee bit of unsubtle nazi imagery
“Sorry we have a sad backstory so we get at least one genocide token”
I think killzone 2 even got the classic Germany censorship
They did go ham with the nazi imagery in that series lmfao
Like it's not even the usual meme of "leather coat is when nazi" it's literally leather coat with red armbands and all that jazz lol
They’re space nazis
Yeah it’s basically Wolfenstein in space half the time
As opposed to the current wolfenstein in space
Moon nazi’s
the gameplay and graphics at that time were unmatched in killzone 2 and 3
Nazi’s on Venus
MOOONNNN
And Mars I think?
Where my mgs4 port sony?
but the ps3 was 
My favorite borderline offensive plot point in the new Wolfenstein games is the Nazis win cause they got more ancient Jewish space magic tech caches first
the venus nazi symbol reminds me of INGSOC lol
Mfw ancient Jewish power armor
It's how they held out against the Romans for so long
you forgot the ancient jewish floaty mcguffin
They ran out of fusion cores for their power armor and the menorah went off or something
I wonder how many people realize mathematics came from Arabia
god the new wolfenstien's game's plot is
odd
its like they just came up with whatever was cool
(came from is a strong term but I get your point)
and built a game around that lmao
Okay so you nuke the nazis and then you go to venus to kill more nazis
If I had to learn my algebra in roman numerals ima lose it
My main issue with the idea is like, it kinda plays into the whole “Jews secretly rule the world” thing
I unironically wonder how the babylonians did it
Fun fact, some of the most important proofs of Pythagorean theorem were done by President James Garfield in the 1870s
Shout out to the arabs for variables in math
made shit a breeze
They did their homework here, Fascism will always find another “other.” A dangerous auto canabalizing ideology
variables good
Huge variables fan
Love me E
I love the new stuff but man does Wolfenstein ride this weird line of like
Almost being offensive because how it’s using real events
who up solving they X rn
I look at my X and find myself asking Y
In metal gear rising I got up and cheered when they made a 9/11 reference
💀
Uh
CSM 9/11 refrence goes crazy
Put on my Mike Piazza 9/11 memorial jersey and saluted the flag
Idk about that
I would not say that
it gets the military industiral complex in general well
tbh
But it is funny watching Hideos idea of what he’s watched on TV and in movies
not the specifics of american politics
I think he gets norman sneedus
Time to go tutor some APUSH
If any one is taking the exam this friday in the USA, good luck, it's gonna be an ass kicker
Good luck!!!
I often wonder if he makes some of the actors super uncomfortable but they just won’t say cause he’s an “auteur”
Like it feels like he’s insanely weird to Made Mikklesen
he does, at least the Senator boss is spot on
the whole idea of using war to end war is so dumb only an American could think it would work
case in point
thats not what the senator wants
most of our recent history in the middle east
again like a lot of Americans
Social darwinism
The Senator regardless is a goofy stereotype
I wouldn’t say he gets America because of him
Platinum just did most of the gameplay
Senator armstrong? College football legend?
He’s funny but like
At some cushy ivy league school?
It’s like me writing some mustache twirling French man
its part of it, "im using war as a buisness to end war as a buisness"
Who hates the English
That isn't his actual goal
thats like the whole point
He advocates for anarchy
^
The strong survive
The weak die
Everyone is free completely with no constraints
No government no nation
Free to a fault
again the game very much predicted the current state of America in many forms
He’s not even an anarcho capitalist or anaracho communist
Armstrong is a criticism on politicians in general
It really didn’t
Not just American ones
^
My brother in Christ what are you talking about 
true
He’s a generic insane politician
Metal gear rising is so fun
Collective consciousness is his “face” song so to speak
But you can hear some of his actual ideology in it
which is telling because so many now fully agree with his philosophy kekw
My favorite MGS moments are when you can tell Hideo is smelling his own farts
They don’t really tbh
Maybe some joke of it
anyone who agrees with his actual philosiphy are derranged
the ones who agree with his politican one are just
It’s the same as people calling Patrick Bateman based
insane in a different way
and there are a lot of deranged people in the world
Yea there's like 20 libertarians in America total
lol
Also he’s not even libertarian
collective consciousness really does make armstrong seem like a facist lol
Libertarianism isn’t complete anarchy
or I guess in favor of totalitarian rule
And no an an cap or an com
but in actuality he's a fan of total anarchy lol
He’s jsut a complete anarchist
yup
only rules are the ones the strong make for themselves, a view many in America have long embraced sadly
social Darwinism has long been a part of America
The bit where he picks up Raiden and starts giving him a politician handshake is just
Perfect
i just love how he looks like the average politcian with the glasses, the balding sleek hair, but giga buff
yeah
ofc he is far to young to be average
he's like augmented or something i don't think he's natty
42 is pretty normal
Just a smidge
i think they mention it
def natty
He looks like he is in 40's.
Miniature contraption
minuscule
Nano, some would say?
depends on the nation, because he is supose to be from America he is about 10 or some years below the average age of a senator
like something a nanometer long
Smol gimmick
some kind of machine, perhaps?
Hard to say
We might never know
idk how nanomachines can provoke such muscle growth but
If only he told us
You have to at least be 35 to be president
yeah
He looks old enough
He’s probably 40s I’d say
so yeah the average age of the US senate is 58 years old
But he isn't the average
all i know is that there's ten thousand comments under every video/post he's featured in saying he's right and has done nothing wrong
He is right but it doesn't mean he did nothing wrong.
since i've never played the game
People just look at the basic memified version
i'll assume it's a ceasar from FNV situation
I don’t think people actually idolize them properly
Cesar had 4 int
They just look at the basic positive concepts
exactly
signature look of Mole rat superiority
He is right but not in the way you think.
Started a new vegas playthrough again this week
Only how incompotent the ncr is.
And they're falling apart otherwise the legion sucks.
Both sides nail the others faults pretty well
cowboy
NCR
Nice to every one
arcade gannon and ed e companions
10 luck
Their issue becomes introspection
Game time
