Somehow Palpatine disappeared

"Somehow Hitler died" its so anticlimactic xD

No one's ever really gone...

I mean, to be serious, the arch-tyrant survived like five attempts by sheer luck. We’re talking “had to go to the bathroom and the bomb shot the stable through the ceiling above his head” level loony toons nonsense.

The point is that the devs explicitly did not want the player to go up against Hitler, while at the same time giving an alibi for Nazis teaming up with allies in the form of the "German resistance" to the "nameless chancellor" who is somehow worse than Hitler. Who knew that poor Wehrmacht was so conflicted about serving the Nazis? Good thing that the "enemy on the eastern front was clear". I guess it is OK to burn down the Byelorussian and Ukrainian countryside. BABES!

Now I wonder if it was going to be Lynch who did it.

@@MandaloreGaming with his grenade launcher no less. The perfect weapon for every assassin with a shred of professionalism.

@@rikusschulze6249 He kicks the door in, says a one-liner and BOOM. Hitler is dead. And that's how the game opens.

I feel like it's more likely that with Hitler being assassinated, their army was free to not take the all-or-nothing, badly favored risk of trying to invade Russia with resources they didn't have while they were still fighting on the Western front. They wouldn't be angered by the assassination; the Nazis were already mad at Hitler for going after Stalingrad, that's why there were so many assassination attempts from within his own military elite.

Why did it need to be reported by a Hungarian though? 🤔

@@BIacklce One question that bothers me in this alternate world. What were the Japanese doing in this universe's version of the Pacific war. Is the Empire of Japan a thing in this Universe or what cause its WW2, half the time i expect a Red Alert 3 scenario to play out and we get a Empire of the Rising Sun situation in the process.

@@silentecho92able they are kissing all the sweet baby girls from china, the phillipines, korea, indochina, etc they brought into the empire.

Ah, of course it's the damn Hungarians again....This game deeply reminded me of Codename Panzers, another Hungarian-made WW2 RTS from the 2000s that's eerily similar to this one both graphically and in some gameplay aspects (Like the repair trucks flinging steel plates at the tanks to repair them, the animations are downright identical.) Hoping Mandalore will cover those games together with their earlier product, S.W.I.N.E, which got a little more popular in the grand scheme of things.

Pure cringe

And it ain’t too shabby in-context either, lol.

​@@thosebloodybadgers8499 Man, I hate that anime, It tries too hard to be deep and cool.

@@chrisjfhelep5095 Hellsing OVA is one of those things I wouldn't describe as "tryhard deep" myself lol Like, the main character is this constantly grinning vampire with big freakin guns and then there's a police woman with a giant cannon and a Catholic with spikes screaming "AMEN!" at the top of his lungs, then the main character gets transformed into a little girl and beats another kid up but not before there's an all-out war between the Vatican and Nazi vampires in London. And, of course, who could forget about catboy Schrodinger and his constant deaths. It's extremely silly and quite self-aware, despite some emotional moments particularly at the end. Tryhard cool, though? Oh yeah, it tries really goddamn hard to be cool I find it charming myself but it's definitely tacky, pretty distasteful and heavily subjective

@@thosebloodybadgers8499 My problem is that the anime sometimes takes itself too serious despite all the crazy and silly things that happen. I like over the tops stories but a balance is necesary to not fall into categories like "too dumb" or "try hard". A good example could be Mad Max: Fury Road.

Back to therapy I go. I spent most of my adult life trying to forget that scene

Aye, it's Mandalore's version of the Wilhelm Scream. Don't ever let it stop XD

It’s the reason I subscribed.

It's definitely one of my favorite instances of it too.

that's what the scream is from? never watched that movie, spent ages wondering where he got it. glad to know.

I burst out laughing

Legit made me laugh when I heard that.

My first thought was "demons?" my second was "aliens?" I was waiting for a twist where some fourth faction would appear causing the allies, axis, and soviet union to join up to defeat them. I was thinking no way would any game (that isn't some 4chan nonsense) ever show the nazi's working with the allies while still having swastika flags (at least change them to the pre reich flag). But apparently Hungary has some weird ideas that I was not familiar with.

@@adrianoippolito1999 You see, Russia once drowned Hungarian uprising against Austria in blood (by request from Austrian emperor who is relative of Russian emperor and cant do it himself). Since then (two centuries or so) Hungarians have some funny 4chan ideas.

You stopped before the funny part.

I am actually interested if this garbage got translated? If not, how did mandalore found out about it? This specific kind of crappy literature (and these particular book covers) is a big meme in russian-speaking internet, but seemed too niche to be recognizable outside of it

we call it "Isekai of the Motherland" (Отечественный исекай)

@@Old_goose929 I've seen some short snippets translated and funny moments recounted by people who've read those books on couple of forums. I think Spacebattles was one of the forums for example but don't really remember for sure, it's been a while.

that is absolutely hilarious. Also to the person above, mandlore has visited russia multiple times and has a eastern eroupean house mate. He doesn't talk as much about it since ukraine.@@Pendiumful

@@Old_goose929 I didn't find any translations of попаданцы fiction into English, so I assume he learned it from some article talking about this phenomenon.

I also had to double back and check on that label. Like, Google couldn't find any Szentjakabhegy, but we do have a "Jakab-Hegy"....but it is unrelated to the wine. Not to mention... according to the wiki... this type of wine was initially created in 1960... so why the 1936? And its origin is on Cserszegtomaj. Not Jakab-hegy. Which is half a country away. This is frankenstein's euro timespace paradox wine.

@@Javlin95 So you are looking for historical authenticity in an easter egg? :)

@@Kokuyous3ki an authentic easter egg counts double points! Especially since this was developed by a hungarian team, too.

HUNGARY MENTIONED!!!!!

A világra mért második legnagyobb csapása Magyarországnak, Jimmy után :)

it was made just so that if the allies made a super heavy tank first they wouldnt be caught off-guard designing a new one of their own. its only weird with hindsight and without context, also the allies hadnt achieved air superiority in the east by then

@@abbcc5996 All of which would have been fine and dandy for Germany, if not for the fact that war room strategy and battlefield tactics don't always play out 1:1 - Crete, Barbarossa, Market Garden, Kursk, etc. On paper, sure, the Maus is this imposing box of death and destruction, but its potential effectiveness in combat would have relied on the Allies cowering in pants-shitting terror at the sight of such a beast and not being able to figure out how to destroy it in-situ.

the reality is that the germans loved to maintain this facade of "we are a nation of tanks" but the reality is that the german war machine was more top-heavy than a one-legged arnold schwarzenegger

Not to mention that the reload process was extremely slow thanks to the chamber design and shell size, making it a sitting duck for possibly minutes at a time while two guys wrestled the shells around. Complicated further by the fact that for such a massive tank it was tiny inside because it had the same kind of drivetrain as a diesel electric locomotive.

@@abbcc5996 The Luftwaffe was functionally irrelevant by 1944 my dude.

Hyperborea is an insane idea but there's probably someone who could make a cool RPG out of it.

Why am I suddenly hearing someone talking in my head about the Fuhrerbunker?

That scene gave me nightmares when I saw it, especially with the voice acting.

Bro that scene, that damn scream.. stuck with me ever since, and I only saw it once. I was not prepared for a mortal kombat level finisher.

@@AtomicRobloxProductionsWhat scene is that?

@@twat3789 So, there was an animation short movie called the Animatrix, showing how humanity fell to robots in warfare over time. From memory, the scene I'm referencing specifically was near the end, when the robots discovered how easily it was to kill humans physically without the use of firearms or conventional weaponry. What happened was there was a lone soldier in power armor attempting to fight for his life. The machine that found him grabbed the armor by its arms and legs and kept it from escaping using tentacle-like appendages. It then ripped open the cockpit where the soldier was struggling, begging for mercy, and wrapped a tendril around him, quite literally tearing him out of the suit as he screamed before finally being killed, tearing his arms and legs off which were still attached to the suit. I dunno who the VA was but to this day It's stuck with me, horrifying.

Or to put it in his (last) words "ARGH ARGH HELP ME, HELP ME, OH GOD HELP ME ARGHHH-"@@AtomicRobloxProductions

Memory of that kind of games is why I will probably forever have a soft spot in my heart for CD Projekt and why their cameo in Phantom Liberty moved me more than it should. I still remember the blue-and-red box, with original artwork in a small window on the cover, whole rows of 'em in this or that supermarket and the stress of choosing which will be the 'only one' you were allowed. That's also how I got slapped in the face with Kingdom Under Fire.

I somehow picked the best games there. Star Wars Empire at War, Rome Total War Gold Edition, Sup-Com Gold Edition. I was really lucky with what I found in those pyramids. Man, rifling through those and looking at the cases, imagining what the game would be like...those were the days.

I kind of missed out on those games because I rarely got a chance to go through the video game aisle at a supermarket when I was younger (I'd usually be left at the Lego or Barbie aisles instead), and when I moved to a bigger city in middle school I already had access to one of then-renowned local gaming magazines and internet so I could check other people's opinions... but at the same time that very same magazine came with a DVD full of games. Sometimes it was old classics, sometimes a big budget game that already made rounds through all the discounted retail editions, and sometimes it was this exact kind of Mandalore/Warlockracy/Ross bait. A game nobody has heard of, often made by a smaller studio in Europe, sometimes only playable in English. They had stuff like Darkstar One, Advent Rising, Loki, Sacred, Mage Knight Apocalypse... I should probably go through my collection and see what can I dig up. Another good source of these trash/treasure coinflips is small stores with second-hand PS2/early X360 and PS3 games. I have a habit of going there with my partner whenever I visit her and I seem to find the darndest stuff out there.

I had it too for a while. This somehow lead me into buying Karnaaj. I have no memory of buying it so I'm convinced a demon left it in my game collection at the time.

​@@michimatsch5862they were broken games too and unbalanced, thanks it were cheaper. Now thanks to Internet we can see which games are good or not.

Ha, I played phase 1, 2, cold war and even it's sort of spiritual succesor, rush for Berlin. I remeber first game stired quite a controversy in Poland due to "historical revisionism" 😂

I played CP Phase 2 a long while back, even got promotional postcards that were free to pick up at the time in the tech store. Many years later,, while playing Sudden Strike 4, I was surprised when the animations felt so familiar, only to discover that many of the team were previous CP devs.

Codename Panzers, Sudden Strike, Heroes of WW2, Blitzkrieg - my Ukrainian dad apparently bought them all. - Adûnâi

I remember one person in a discord for a certain pig-themed military shitposter was actively summarizing and translating dozens of them.

That's how he was introduced to the immortality potion.
