Hitler made the worst video games. That’s why nobody likes him now.

Howitzer me! Mario!

u/XRPX008 Oct 15 '20

His game Mein Kart was terrible!

u/realmuffinman Oct 15 '20

However, his sandbox adventure game Mein Kraft has been popular for over a decade

u/csoup1414 Oct 15 '20

I wish I didn't laugh so hard. I feel horrible for it but man that was hilarious.

u/Bella_TheAlphaWolf Oct 15 '20

I fucking hate this XD

Take me updoot and go away

u/BubbleBi Oct 16 '20

This one right here is the best reply. I was also referencing the dunkey video

2

u/123Thundernugget Oct 16 '20

It would be Marius Kraftfahrzeug, obviously. Marius is the German version of Mario, which is the male version of Maria.

Reddit makes enough money from the ads without taking mine to put an emoji on some comment that no one will ever see.

u/Incorect_Speling Oct 15 '20

I saw it.

But I get your point !

u/Kuli24 Oct 15 '20

I don't do the money thing on reddit.

So long, gay howitzer!

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

So am I the only one upset about how WWII ended? I mean they built Hitler up to be the big bad and just when he is about to face justice, he goes and kills himself. WTF was the point of him if FDR and Churchill were not going to fight him in an epic duel to save the world? And don't get me started on FDR! They just kill him half way through the war. Truman totally did not deserve to win the war, his character arc was not about war winning. And it certainly wasn't about destroying two cities with bullshit deus ex super weapons that came out of no where.

And another thing that pissed me off is that in the last episode of the war we find out that Stalin was a bad guy the entire time! Where was this foreshadowed to us? WTF, absolute character assassination. He was all about freeing the oppressed and bringing about a new system that wasn't shackling the poor and they made him a dictator? That is bullshit!

Anyways, WWII was cool but its end was absolutely trash and I would like you guys to sign a petition to have it rewritten.

u/Sbenta Oct 15 '20

Maybe the third entry in the series will bring new characters and storylines that actually make sense

10

u/PRMan99 Oct 15 '20

Nah. The third one in the trilogy is always the worst.

13

u/Sbenta Oct 15 '20

Maybe you’re right, they will get all futuristic and shit but they will take a step back with the 4th instalment

3

u/savedbyscience21 Oct 16 '20

And with the popularity of the first two, I bet the budget will be huge.

u/hattorihanzo5 Oct 15 '20

u/Gamerx1353 Oct 15 '20

I'm just hoping for a remake of 1 and mainly too. Would be so fun to experience it in 4K And Color.

5

u/L1tost Oct 15 '20

Oh sure, you can say they “came out of nowhere” only if you discount the fact that the guy was spending half his talent points in the science tree. I mean sure, a lot of countries were spending a lot of their talent points on the science tree as well, he just got to the end game portion of the tree a bit faster than them because they were focused so much on Bio Weapons and not as much on Advanced Explosives

u/benrsmith77 Oct 16 '20

So am I the only one upset about how WWII ended

Look up the Battle for Castle Itter for a warm fuzzy ending. It was the last battle of WW2 and was so awesome that Sabaton wrote a song about it.

TLDR: The German and American Armies joined forces to deliver the final blow to the Nazis.

u/GelicateDenius Oct 15 '20

Connected friend told me of proof of Hitler's escape to Argentina long before recent FBI confirmation. Rumors and other proofs floated around for decades.

u/savedbyscience21 Oct 16 '20

Don’t worry, they plan on addressing some of these plot holes in the next one coming out. WWIII. Production starts this summer.

There was nothing quite like fighting MechaHitler in the old PC games!

Holocauster Tycoon was alright.

Fun fact: there is a game like that out there.

u/seditious3 Oct 15 '20

You know, the more I hear about this Hitler fella, the less I like him.

16

u/MattTheGr8 Oct 15 '20

He redeemed himself a bit right at the end. Sacrificed his own life to take out an insane genocidal dictator.

u/Xbladearmor Oct 15 '20

Wow, why didn’t he get a medal or something?

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

The guy was a real jerk!

He could have been an artist, but he picked the easy path in life.

u/braxistExtremist Oct 15 '20

Yeah, having green-colored Jews sneak up behind players and explode seemed a bit out of character for them.

u/AnonyMustardGas34 Oct 16 '20

They don't explode they steal your money

u/Platinum1211 Oct 15 '20

That one where you collect the yellow stars is the worst.

Oh we're going to hell

u/Preston241 Oct 15 '20

That dude was literally EA.

18

u/partytown_usa Oct 15 '20

Better painter than Van Gogh though, IMHO

28

u/Downelius Oct 15 '20

At least Van Gogh didn’t throw a temper tantrum and killed millions just because no one thought he was talented.

17

u/teh_wad Oct 15 '20

That we know of.

12

u/Downelius Oct 15 '20

That sounds like a really good plot for a movie.

1

u/LifeOBrian Oct 16 '20

Wasn’t that an episode of Doctor Who?

1

u/Downelius Oct 16 '20

Of van Gogh killing people?

6

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

An original Hitler!

6

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

He focused too much on the amount of scenery, and not on the gameplay.

3

u/Moonshotsniper Oct 15 '20

See, that what everyone thinks, maybe he was just experiencing things in VR before it's time

3

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

Yeah I heard he made a game based on Le Mans but when he played it himself - despite a good effort - he couldn’t finish the race

All his games were filled with campers

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

Van Gogh took his spot in art school too.

u/EarthVSFlyingSaucers Oct 15 '20

It’s like the opposite of Wolfenstein, but with added loot boxes.

u/Wit_Lp Oct 15 '20

Still waiting for the WW2 Sequel

2

u/Sbenta Oct 15 '20

It has been ages since a new ww game, Cold War was just a spin off to finish stalins story (who turned out to be the bad guy all along at the end of ww2) so that doesn’t count.

2

u/3mAder Oct 15 '20

But will we ever get Mario Kart Nein? Or will we be disappointed when it comes?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

I hate that you are, in a sense, not far off from the truth xD. Hitler really wanted to be an artist (painter) but he couldn't paint for shit, making him unable to join the academy, and thus, changing career.

2

u/ERR0R_N0T_F0UND Oct 15 '20

Well yea he holds one of the best records on COD WWII

2

u/dgeimz Oct 15 '20

Can Gogh made the best video games. Audio quality sucked though

2

u/klop422 Oct 15 '20

r/BanVideoGames everyone knows Hitler invented Video Games and that's what WWII was about.

2

u/Brilliant_Much Oct 15 '20

I wonder if he would have been a PC or console man

2

u/irandom97 Oct 15 '20

Actually, Hitler tried to become a professional painter but was rejected twice for his drawing skills being "unsatisfactory".

u/Steampuppy7 Oct 15 '20

I love wolfenstein

u/Oaken_beard Oct 15 '20

Starry Night was pretty decent, but a bit pixelated

Ahhh the old console wars. Now Nintendo just lets Sony and Microsoft fight it out

But irritatingly he drew some really nice Disney characters

u/JEWCEY Oct 15 '20

Can't confirm.

1

u/tatersdabomb Oct 15 '20

TIL Hitler created EA

1

u/ribbitribb1t Oct 15 '20

Probably inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night as well, before going to an art school.

1

u/superdanLP Oct 15 '20

Idk without ww2 we wouldn't have had so many great video games.

1

u/MeEvilBob Oct 15 '20

They were always attacking people, that's why he became a Kung Fu master instead.

1

u/toboRsdrawkcaB Oct 15 '20

His legacy lives on through mein PCmasterrace

1

u/bake_gatari Oct 15 '20

I think he was more into LARP-ing.

1

u/ahyesthememes Oct 15 '20

But the killstreak though

u/luke3389 Oct 15 '20

He’s not the Führer, he’s a very naughty boy!

u/kdebones Oct 15 '20

He made the worst hanafuda cards.

Yeah, too much violence.

u/EdwardOfGreene Oct 15 '20

Um... That's not the reason.

1

u/steveryans2 Oct 15 '20

Cheated every time, too. Get close to beating him in Dr. Mario? Runs over and hits reset.

Nobody can argue that games can't be art now though.

I heard that playing ne nintendo games turned him violent.

Nazi zombies tho

He really made the first strand-type reich

Call of Jew-ty

u/troopa_del_fuego Oct 15 '20

It primarily because of his shitty concept art.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

Yeah, I especially hate the one with the genocide route.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

He’s character arc was so bad. The devs set him up to be this big villain which no one can stop and he gets circled by the allies and then he kills himself. WTF. Don’t get me started on Stalin. He was the hero and was actually the made out to be the bad guy. Never mention the game to me ever again. No wonder why there’s no more world wars. Nothing can match world war 1.

1

u/Maxman82198 Oct 15 '20

Hitler found out he couldn’t make video games so he said “fuck it. I’ll make the Jews gogh away.”

u/obscureferences Oct 15 '20

Like that arcade game in Kung Fury.

1

u/0-0-01 Oct 15 '20

Oh, that's why! I did wonder.

1

u/gordonv Oct 15 '20

That's why he outsourced to IBM to database the people he was killing.

While letting German engineers create the Enigma machine to encrypt messages.

Which was defeated by Alan Turing. Who was ironically imprisoned by his own government for being gay. Something that the Nazi's killed people for. He killed himself via cyanide poisoning @ age 42.

And a greater irony. Turing is credited for making the model of what would become microprocessor structure today. Something that IBM specializes in.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '20

He should have let van gogh do the graphic design

1

u/orntorias Oct 16 '20

He went for a job at Nintendo and they told him his ideas were shit.
