If the Japanese can't write; how do they spell? [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/emot-raise.gif[/img]
I hate those people who say that all Germans were and still are monsters. I'm a German but that doesn't mean that I hate jews or something. We're just normal people like all of you. Oh and deepneau, would you kindly fuck yourself?
[QUOTE=Kyle902;16001046]Your terribly misinformed.[/QUOTE] Please explain to us how the Americans systematically murdered the Japanese, then. And while you're at it, tell us where we can find Big Foot. [editline]06:47PM[/editline] [QUOTE=DualReaver;16005558]If the Japanese can't write; how do they spell?

Germans didn't kill jews. Nazis did. Nazis =\= Germans. German = Nationality Nazism = Political belief All though most Nazis were German, not all in WWII were. In the 1930s, even America had a small Nazi party going around, as much as I hate to admit it.

This is really just the most famous one.
[QUOTE=bigdoggie;15998537]I'd love to see a game where they portray the Axis as the good guys, as if you were in the eyes of ein Deutschlander or something. You know, play as the "bad guy", but with a good story and shit.[/QUOTE] I'd like to see a game where you play as a German dissenter who was conscripted in WWII, the first half of the game being defending yourself against the Allies and the later half being all about subterfuge and sabotage from the inside of the German military. [editline]06:56PM[/editline] Dissenters have ALWAYS been more interesting as characters than blind patriots and good guys.

Oh and the main character would HAVE to die at the end somehow, preferably suicide bombing or something. Grey Morality Hooray! [editline]06:58PM[/editline] Fukken automerge

[QUOTE=skullhead122;16005509]there you go [editline]06:42PM[/editline] It's not like you Europeans are the most ethnocentric people on the face of the Earth, after all.[/QUOTE] :ughh:
My friend read a book where one of the main characters was a 17-year old conscript in the German army. He said it was pretty good, I should find it and read it.
Not all german people are bad, only the Nazis. And even then, most of them wanted to kill Hitler and stop what he was doing anyways. Go watch some movies that tell their side, I recommend [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0985699/]Valkyrie[/url], very good movie. Also, think about this, they had concentration camps, we [i]had[/i] Guantanamo Bay. Hell, we probably committed as many war crimes as the Germans, for ex. the war we are having right now and the Vietnam war, we tortured and killed many of our war prisoners/civilians. Also, the German Military also tried to take more than Europe, they tried to take Egypt, and other parts of Africa as well.

You're right. I feel bad now.
[QUOTE=Aman;15998659]I agree. I've seen a few games that actually protray the Germans in WW2 like they should be. (ex: Company of heroes) not the heartless jew killing machines some games make them out to be.[/QUOTE] Hans' mother sent him some saur-kraut. Have you tried it? It's delectable!
[QUOTE=Sh33p;15998855]Did every German commit the Holocaust? Also, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.[/QUOTE] Japan wouldn't stop fighting, and they planned on attacking China, and California. If we didn't stop them many more people would have died.
History is written by the winners, get used to it. Obiously the Axis forces were probably as bad as the Allied forces, it's the Nazis that give them a bad image. They are portrayed in movies how they were portrayed in 1945, or they are shown to be the enemy as a lesson.
[QUOTE=Advancedrock;16006617]Japan wouldn't stop fighting, and they planned on attacking China, and California. If we didn't stop them many more people would have died.[/QUOTE] Hitler's excuse for the holocaust might have been something along the lines of If we don't kill the jews, they will continue to leech off us, stealing our money and torturing our children. If you sugarcoat something enough it'll make it sound necessary.
[QUOTE=ray243;15998487]I hate how those ww2 movies showed that all nazis are evil or all japs are evil in games like COD, and a shitload of fucking movies I can't remember. They always show americans with 1 to 2 people dead, while hundreds of germans dead. [/QUOTE] Would be pretty shit story telling if you played a mission you all loose and die.
[QUOTE=Dan2593;16006804]Would be pretty shit story telling if you played a mission you all loose and die.[/QUOTE] It could be epic if pulled off right.
Like they already did in COD4? [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/emot-raise.gif[/img]
Of course video games are gonna be that way, they're the bad guys and thus you good guys are going to have to kill them by the hundreds. Movies aren't so bad though. Band of Brothers for example was pretty fair to them, maybe even sympathetic at times.
America, fuck yeah comin' again to misinform the world yeah
[QUOTE=DualReaver;16006156]yeah, you know i was dead serious because i said that[/QUOTE] you're the most serious man in the world, Jeffery :clint:
[QUOTE=Advancedrock;16006617]Japan wouldn't stop fighting, and they planned on attacking China, and California. If we didn't stop them many more people would have died.[/QUOTE] Which is what Hitler said about the Jews, but replace china and california with germany.

If you sugarcoat something enough it'll make it sound necessary.[/QUOTE] I don't see how killing civilians within your own country before they even started a war with you compares to a country that has already shown how well it can commit war crimes (Rape of Nanking or Unit 731, needless executions of POW, One Australian was even killed after the war ended.) and was planning to have a full scale war with the United States where the stakes would probably the same. [QUOTE=cyclocius;16007649]Which is what Hitler said about the Jews, but replace china and california with germany.[/QUOTE] What Hitler said was more along the lines of 'They are vermin and must be neutralized for polluting our gene pool!'
[QUOTE=Aman;15998659]I agree. I've seen a few games that actually protray the Germans in WW2 like they should be. (ex: Company of heroes) not the heartless jew killing machines some games make them out to be.[/QUOTE] How were they depicted in Company of Hero's? [editline]09:37PM[/editline] The American's wern't angels in the war either.
