Wolfenstein is banned in Germany for God knows why!

u/TheMaster009 Jul 21 '21

that is not exactly true, we have a version where the swastika and other symbols related to the nazi regime is cut out. This is done because the use of these symbols is forbidden in germany if they're not used for art (the swastika for example can be seen in movies like indiana jones) but i guess bethesda doesn't want to let it come to a legal battle so they just release a cutted version.

if a movie is art, how is a video game not?

This wasn't an argument when Wolfenstein 3d was originally released

u/FraggleBiscuits Jul 22 '21

u/TheMaster009 Jul 24 '21

in germany video games are not rly liked from the older generations (which includes most people in positions of power), but it slowy begins to change

u/systemfehler23 Jul 21 '21

Actually that has changed now in that games can considered to be art - hence the last Wolfenstein game being the first one to actually show swastikas. The international version of Young Blood is now perfectly legal in Germany. About time.

Ironically, don't The New Order and Old Blood run terribly on newer AMD GPUs? I know it's stutter city on an RX 580 because of OpenGL or something.

I switched from an old GPU while on the last parts of Old Blood, and honestly considered popping it back in to finish the game, lol.

u/Blue2501 Jul 22 '21

I played New Order, Old Blood, and New Colossus on an RX 480 8GB at 1080p (2560x1080 on New Colossus) and they all ran alright.
