Solivagant Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 I hadn't seen the jeuxvideo footage before. The game looked a lot better than in the gametrailers walkthrough. For me at least. Same here. For me the difference is in how proficient he is at taking down enemies with martial arts, that build has much more points in that skill, you see him running frantically taking down ttwo guys very easily, while on the gametrailers footage he takes much longer. Also the jeuxvideo footage shows him readying a lock on ability, which is interesting to see. Dragonblade of the Obsidian Order No sleep for the Watcher

Morgoth Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I wouldn't know where to begin with how Obsidian will pull of a female German mercenary. That's a first one. Surely not stereotypical, except the hair color. Rain makes everything better.

Surely not stereotypical, except the hair color. Aren't you confusing Swedes and Germans? No, the German beauty-ideal is also blonde. Not sure if it still is, as what is "ideal" always changes.

Blond hair, blue eyes was how they imagined an aryan looks, that was the reason why "the whole" country saw them as a beauty idol, not because all of Germany suddenly developed a thing for blonds.

Morgoth Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Is blond hair and blue eyes not also a beauty-ideal in America? At least in California I think...? That Aryan bullcrap sells probably well in Hollywood movies. But most Nazis surely weren't, including Hitler. Still, blond German beauty doesn't have any link to Germany's Nazi past, I'm pretty sure.

kreese12 Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) Haven't seen those jeuxvideos before! They look great! I'm even more stoked for this game now. About the whole 'German blonde' stereotype thing, that's a really dumb concept. First off, Germans being blonde isn't much of a stereotype. It is for Swedes (and there is a lot of truth to it to btw). For Germans being blonde -- not so much. And I won't even touch on how dumb it is to start mentioning WW2 and uber-men etc. And even blonde Germans was a stereotype, does it then mean that no Germans have blonde hair, or that no Germans should be depicted with blonde hair? So, what, it is a stereotype that rappers are black, so does that mean that every rapper a game or film depicts should never be black? This is an entirely dumb idea. Back to the game... awesome screen shots dug up. All the mod slots for the weapons and armor and the hacking mingames look really cool. Damn this game is going to rock.

J.E. Sawyer Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Hollywood just does that - show stereotypes. India Jones anyone? Colonel Dietrich was actually pretty awesome, though. There was nothing about him that was not stereotypical. He even had a Schmi twitter tyme
