I wish all paid mods were demonstrably better than their base games.

Really good mods that a lot of people prefer to the vanilla game are not an unusual phenomenon. There are various CKII and HOI IV mods (Kaiserreich is notable in particular) that totally convert the game to a different world and which are the favoured mode of play by a lot of hardcore fans. The difference is that the Kaiserreich mod for Hearts of Iron IV is free, and the New Vegas mod for Fallout 3 had a triple-A price tag at launch.

You had me at Hearts of Iron IV.

Always fun to go into hiding as Adolf Hitler when you lose World War II, then to return years later as the leader of Argentina, "Señor Hilter".

There are more unironic nazis playing For Honor than there are in a game where they can be Literally Hitler.

What a time to be alive.

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

Nazis playing For Honor? I've not heard this before, do you have a news article about this? I'm curious.

<Snipped quote by Prawn>

No its more of an internal community thing. A few edgelords like to have swastikas as their emblem. When it get's discussed on reddit, the large number of alt right type opinions get exposed. Its shocking to some people because the idea is that people who fetishize white nationalism usually gravitate to games like HOI, Crusader Kings and War Thunder. But For Honor accidentally has the aesthetics there to attract them too.

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

Ah, you'll always find people like that trying to cause provocation. That's the thing, I've been playing War Thunder and Hearts of Iron IV for a fair bit of time and I've never really encountered people like that. At worst, you see Wehraboos but that's about as alt-right as I've seen it get. For the most part though, it's just people who have an interest in the time period just dicking around. Games like HoI are an excellent way of testing out what-if scenarios. Least that's how I've always seen it.

<Snipped quote by Prawn>

Granted this is only what i've seen on Reddit.

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

Ah, see there's your problem right there. Fucking Reddit.

Underrated:

As far as well balanced, technically pure fighting games go. Virtua fighter is top tier, I think just for whatever reason the characters didn't catch on well as household names like SF MK and Tekken did. I think it also has that odd aesthetic of being similar to DOA (even though it came first) but more bland and stripped down visually which means nobody has a reason to go and pick it up. But this game is so damn smooth and responsive.

I can't believe Dynamo and I agree on something. I think this is a sign of the end times.
