I come from the Philippines. Out of all our colonizers, Japan was the worst offender. 3 years of Japanese rule caused more destruction than 333 years of Spanish rule. Just the stories we hear from our great grandparents is so gross and disgusting.
The Last Tiger, just made me cry. After learning history, it is so sad to see the trouble & pressure the Germans went through under strong influence of H!TL3R.
Despite the game not being 100% historically accurate, it gets the picture of WW2 much better than COD Vanguard and COD WW2. There’s mods out there that fix some anachronistic uniforms
I like that you focus more on explaining the history rather than bashing the game. A game is made to be fun and to capture the audience, if historical facts make the gameplay too boring or are to complex to capture the audience (the cod audience is hardly historians) then the game fails. I think WaW makes a nice compromise between giving a "feeling of reality" and fun gameplay and story.
There's a big issue on your coverage of the Thiaroye Massacre, you had stated previously the colonial troops were massacred by the German, however these men in the massacre had been prisoners for 4 years at this point. There were 120,000 of these men held prisoner in German PoW camps.
Listen the game might not be accurate, but unlike recent games is trying to be as accurate as possible, the idea of dimitri cheating death during ww2 is interesting since in ww2 the russians we're the ones who lost most trooops. And we can see the brutality of the n@zis and ussr how the deeper the soviets went into German territory how blood thirsty they become as the germans we're. Is an interesting topic something that wasn't doen back than
the soundtrack has stuck with me to this day. the music made everything so much more memorable and immersive, i will never forget the heavy metal riffs while being knee deep in mud and blood in the jungle or the haunting choir while fighting through smoke and rubble. the sounds of this game made all the emotions and themes so much more impactful. i probably wouldnt remember this game nearly as much as i do if it wasn't for the magic Sean Murray worked into the soundtrack. something about the music grips you and pulls you in, it makes you soak in the horror around you. if you've ever taken a second to just sit behind some cover and listen to music while watching your comrades fight and die, just observing the brutal struggle while hearing that chilling music. ive seen alot of people say the heavy metal isnt very fitting and clashes with the serious tones of the setting, but i have to disagree and maybe its because of personal bias but i find the idea that metal is inherently "not serious" pretty ignorant and the way its used in the game is pretty tasteful and adds to that feeling of being in a horrifying and brutal battle that you are unlikely too survive. the grinding of guitars with the the scratching violions and the crunching of bones come together to create a symphony of death. this game does not make you feel like a hero, it does not glorify killing, there is no satisfaction in shooting an enemy, only relief that he is not shooting back. its an atmosphere very few shooters have been able to capture. (hell this is probably the only CoD game that has done its successfully. not even a diss against some of the other golden era games, they just leaned towards an action movie vibe while World At War was a horror movie set in a war.)
Oh man, I love WaW for touching on the Pacific alone, my great granddad fought in the Pacific, 2nd Marines on Siapan, he saw the last and largest banzai charge of WW2, Peleliu was the defining factor in doctrinal changes of the Japanese as a whole, shifting from suicidal Banzai attacks to ambush, I read Eugene Sledge's book With The Old Breed, it was hell on a coral infested island, seventy three days the Marines were there, after being told the island would be secure in 3, it cost a lot of needless blood in my book.
One of the most infamous Japanese atrocities towards American POWs was on Chichi Jima where several pilots were cannibalized after being executed, Future President HW Bush escaped from his captors on the USS Finback
I know it's a long shot, but could you do a video, reacting on how accurate the battlefield 5 pacific theater trailer would be. I know it would be a shorter video since the trailer is not that long but it would be very interesting to watch you break it down, even though it's been out for awhile. Also enjoying your videos.
I truly think that Black Cat captured the true visual experience of the war in the Pacific. With a mix of S&D and response and rescue. Visiting Pearl Harbor and most recently Hiroshima just made the mission feel more impactful to me. Because the war in the Pacific was started by an attack from the air and ended in an attack from the air.
Finally, I love the Pacific campaign in WAW, its just so enthralling and epic. I know there are several inaccuracies and mistakes, but this is one of those games where you just don't care about issues.
I think waw feels authentic to the horrors of ww2 even if it's not always accurate, I think people tend to be picky over tiny details and get pressed over stuff like grenades not being green in 1942 when that's not really a big deal. Great video
Absolutely, and thank you for the comment! I think as long as the story they are showcasing is trying their best to tell the real stories of these events, then it's OK. That's why I want to try and highlight some of the stories of the people that took part in them to essentially expand on what's being shown and put faces to events
I just found all the locking pick and swinging and climbing not my thing at all. I sent it back to Amazon. I prefer something like Battlefront 2 or the original Destiny before it went downhill. I don't like everything is becoming a subscription.
bf5 isn't historically accurate like bf1 because EA became woke and "censored" after bf1. Also, Battlefield 2042 suffers a bit from that as well, but at least it could make sense since it's in the future.
Please play call of duty big red one, for me the best COD ever. My nostalgia, when I was playing it as a 7 year old, heavily influences my opinion. It campaign streches from north africo to the Siegfried Line. I loved pvt. Bloomfield, it still hits everytime he dies. I can only play it on my PS2, sometimes the screen freezes but idc
We all shit on battlefield for their shit representation of WW2 as we all should have but we didn’t with cod which makes no sense. I never bought vanguard because they had already released WW2 that was enough for me😂
All the decent read dead rp ive seen are organised narratives by a group of people. They plan say, an expedition across the map, and then improv character arcs and such along the way. In these servers you dont get that at all.
It's really sad and ironic how the 2005 beta of Spore was more complex that the final game. Is frustating the fact that mora than a half of the game was cut to the final game. And what is more weird, is the fact of this game have been a 2008 GAME! Eighty years old of game!
Vanguard was such a phone in for CoD CoD WW2 even tho more inaccurate sometimes having germans using ppsh's was at least not lazy enough to instead of mapping battle damage just having ppl explode
i have a huge library on steam epic games and on gog my longest burnout was a year my burnout happens cuz theres no one to play with i have only two friends i play games with and there not always on one has a job and one disappears for years on end
dunno about other stuff but im eastern european an my grandfather was in a gulag in 70-80 but it wasnt called a gulag but it still existed. so the fact that brežnev said that he colosed gulags doesent mean mutch. also our country had soviet nuklear silos until we declared independance. check out Baltic freedom road 4 more info.
Thank you for this comment! I’ve always worried that I might come across as one of those mental alt right RU-vidrs who hate everything. I just want to tell the right background history in relation to these events and I have no problem with what some would consider “woke” content as long as it’s done right
@@retro_today didn't get that impression at all, I get the impression in other videos you have no problem with showcasing the diverse aspects of history, rather that it just has to be done well and if so is entirely welcome
