Who would have thought there would come a time where people would downvote you for posting something like this.
Thats sad this game should ve sold way more than that
I'm surprised this game sold so well in Germany. I thought games containing Nazis were either banned or heavily censored there?
I believe it was heavily censored in Germany.
The only thing that is censored/not allowed in Germany these days is showing the Swastika...it's in the Grundgesetz, the constitution. Art is usually free of that but sadly video games, especially shooters, have a hard time to be acknowledged as art.
Btw most of us like killing Nazis just like the rest of the world...we only get the benefit of laughing a bit more due to some very strange assets and translations :D
They did. They totally erased Hitler's moustache
Game looks great. Looking forward to it coming out on Switch.
Seems this game sold well in Japan.
Like, 3,555 on PS4 well?

More like people showing their displeasure at being treated with such contempt and disrespect by the publisher. Trump didn't win the presidency by securing over 61,000,000 Nazi votes, as the left would have you believe. Bethesda erroneously tried to bank on this misrepresentation. They paid the price.
Am I Errorist76 ?
No. I'm fairly certain you're Oneeee-Chan!!! When comments go below the voting threshold, they disappear and clicking on them scrolls the entire list in a way I find particulary difficult to navigate, for me at least. So in trying to respond to Errorist76, I misplaced this comment. My apologies.
@reviniente
No, but Trump used the same methods as Hitler did back then, using hate, xenophobia and general disappointment to gather votes and everybody who voted for him could have voted for Hitler back then. It's a simple and clear analogy. People who critisize that, are ignorant. It's the sad truth.
And people who sympathise with a dumb, xenophobe asshole are maybe no Nazis yet, but definitely dumb, xenophobe assholes...could just call them Nazis to make it easier.
It's a shame. The game should have sold better :-(. But it looks like it did very well during Black Friday, so maybe it's just that people don't want to play full price for a single player only game.
Damn that's not great sales for a great game. And gamers complained about Forza 7 selling bad and this is a Multiplat. Hope the next one really hits the ball out the park. Sales don't make games better and this game is a quality game. I recommend it.
Got it about a week ago on PS Store along with the Season Pass for 44 euros. So far it looks and plays great, I like the New Order and Old Blood so I was sure I would like this one too.
