Yes, I greatly admire the Wermacht. And it'd make a change.

Also, please change your O.P, not all German foot soldiers were Nazis. The Nazis were a political party that didn't even get the majority vote without cheating.

German =/= Nazi.
weeeeelll, they WERE Nazis, but everyone was, it was default

But the spirit of the statement is true, yes, many of them were conscripted farmboys who had no idea what was what

Perhapes a game where you play as said naive farmboy, conscripted to fight in the retreat from Normandy through to the defence of Berlin

Not really, were all the British soldiers conservatives then?

It's a matter of personal identity and beliefs, I think.

If you judge someone by what character they play as in a game then you should talk to a psychiatrist.

I'd have to think about playing an FPS like that. I play as the Germans most of the time in Company of Heroes (RTS)

You make a very good point. But, even if they didn't know what exactly was going on, they were fighting to protect the Nazi's and they were killing enemies of the Nazi's, even if they didn't fully support the reasons

EDIT: sorry about the double post.. It was accidental

Considering i don't care which character i am, yes i would play as a GERMAN. I'm sick if hearing that forsaken word "Nazi". Funny how that word was once unspeakable and now used all the time. To be honest im disgusted with people for using that term and also for the fact that we still seem to judge Germany as being a bad country. Urgh!

As far as im concerned, depending on the game and the mission/task, i don't mind if i was french, spanish or anything else. After all, a human is a human.

Well yeah - in Company of Heroes the Nazis have all the best units/are the only side I know how to play well. Weird because I'm Jewish by descent but to be honest it's just a game.

EDIT: Also if you play the Panzer elite campaign it gets well heart-wrenching at the end when his brother dies
As long as they leave out explicit references to genocide I'm fine with it.

Well they arn't Nazi's they are just German soldiers the Nazi's were a policical party, the Whermahct was the regular Army, the Gestapo were Nazi secret police, and the SS were hitlers personal army.

So, would you play as a nazi in a game? If a game(FPS, RPG, RTS, etc.) had you in the role of a German footsoldier during WW2, would you still play it?
Uhm i was confused cause the name of this thread is "Would you pay as a nazi"?.

Also one of the choices is "Maybe, if HE didn't kill the Jews". Who is HE? Do you mean Nazi's, Germans, or Hitler? Cause Nazi=/= German and German =/= Hitler (he was Austrian).

Very confused o_O

OT: Pie

So, I'm crazy for not wanting to be associated with the Nazi Party and frowning on people for wishing to play as a Nazi, you know, the guys who participated in the mass genocide of about 12 million people.


Gotcha.

Company of Heroes: Tales of Valour has a campaign where you play on the Nazi side and it wasn't exactly hard to come up with a story for it. Just a couple of soldiers trying to stay alive so they can get back home to their families.

BUT HOLY SHIT GUYS THEY'RE NAZIS! *eyeroll* Relic didn't receive any backlash for it since it was tastefully done, I don't see why another company couldn't do something similiar.

This is what i was gunna say.

It would be nice to see a game from the Germans point of veiw.

And jsut becuase you were in the German army doesnt mean your some Jew slaughtering *****, your ust a footsoldier.

Hasn't this topic been made like, 50 times now?


Yes, most of us already did.


Edit: Ultimately, no, on the simply grounds that NO MORE FUCKING WWII GAMES! Goddamn...

I would actually, I would definitely like to see what things were like on the other side of the war. Since, to tell you the truth, I'm a little tired of seeing the perspective of the Allies.

It's a little like "Ok, we won, I get it. Can I see what things were like over there now?"

Unfortunately, the self-righteous outrage of some people would spark some sort of ethical scandal, (via Fox News and other right wing media) and so such a game would most likely never sell here.

Gotcha.
Considering the fact that most people know the difference between a game and the real life, yes.

By the way, your numbers are way off.
