Re: Wolfenstein 3 Is Reportedly "In The Works" At MachineGames

@progx The woke stuff is what I have a problem with. I have no problem with blasting Nazis away. The classic games didn't have the woke stuff being shoved down our throats. Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein didn't. RTCW didn't. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory didn't. I don't think Wolfenstein (2009) did, but I haven't played it in years. The New Order and The Old Blood didn't have it.

The New Colossus had the woke stuff in droves and frankly I was offended. If you like it, that's fine, do your thing. I want it kept out of my games.

I will no longer reply to you, as I said I DON'T want to get into a heated discussion about this.

@progx I'll simply do a copy and paste here, as I'd rather not get into a heated discussion about this and potentially run afoul of any rules.

"Wolfenstein: The New Colossus heavily incorporates themes that intersect with modern 'identity politics,' particularly regarding race, disability, and nationalism, through its alternate history setting where Nazis rule America, leading to direct parallels with contemporary far-right movements and debates over American identity. The game features diverse characters (Black, disabled), challenges traditional white masculinity, and uses its narrative to critique racism, fascism, and blind patriotism, prompting discussions about political messaging and 'wokeness'."

Just get rid of the identity politics and this game will be way better than The New Colossus. I enjoyed The New Order and The Old Blood. This one was offensive in how it shoved identity politics down your throat.

If the next Wolfenstein game gets back to focusing on action, it'll be a must play for sure. It would also help if there was a great multiplayer component again, similar to either Return to Castle Wolfenstein, or Wolfenstein Enemy Territory.

Re: Opinion: 20 Years Later, Need For Speed: Most Wanted Is Still The Series' Best Outing

Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster.

Need for Speed High Stakes (1999) is still the best of the series. It was fun to play, and if you were playing the PC version, it was simple to add extra cars and replace the tracks with custom ones. I used to play this game like crazy with a friend during the overnight hours online. I'd really love to see this series go back to the High Stakes style, as I feel that it bottomed out with Underground and Underground 2 (I say this as someone that finished Undercover on both the PC and Wii).
