Mouse - also known as DOOM Cuphead - One of classic Mickey's first major venture into the public domain will be in videogame form

Counter-argument: that interaction is a reference to Duke Nukem Forever where you interact with a Christian Bale-esque character ranting about a role.

You wish. This is the same anti-DRUMPF! drivel that has been relentlessly thrown at players for a fucking decade, and counting. The noir setting had potential, with the option to go bonkers (literally!) due to the cartoon side. Instead, it's yet another wolfenstein genre slop, n. 123241.
 
There are blatantly gay mice who talk about scatplay.
Do you have a video clip of that?

...This can't be real. Isn't that game for teenagers IIRC?

If true, let the ESRB know if you could for a possible revision.
 
"Borrowed" the game, then tried it for 1 hour and uninstalled. It's aggressively mid at best, cringe at worst. For what's worth, nothing that stands out woke-wise much during the first hour, likely so that you can't refund it when the Redittness hits in full. You see the not-Nazis immediately with their Trump hair, subtle as a sack of bricks, so if you're paying attention, you'll see it immediately. The scenario is full of characters you can't interact with, which is a shame. The pistol sucks and the feedback is terrible. Oh, and the controls for the car sections can't be edited funnily enough (I guess that's fixed in later patches). Even without taking into account the wokeness, the game is not worth the price.
The posters are fun, and it seems they set the game in the late 1920s or very early 1930s, so the not-Nazi party in not-America makes no sense. The shrewds are depicted as literally poor folks subjected to le-racism for no reason, with stuff like a poster with the BMP or Big Mouse Party blatantly telling you to replace them. Wasn't Hitler supposed to be subtle at first? For not to mention America had stuff such as the Eugenics programs back them, so they didn't mind the le evil Germans and their ways until they finally entered the war, but wokeness doesn't understand of subtlety.
 
I mean, the Reddit tier dialogue and such is obviously questionable and ill-fitting for the setting.

However, the villains being essentially Nazis I see as more them trying to create opponents that are more or less part of the time-period of the 30s.
The games takes place on 30's New York, the main villains should be the mafia not a nazi party, fortunately we all know the reason why they took the latter approach instead of the former.
 
I expected the Big Bad to be a Mafia boss with the Nazis as a side adversary.
Oddly enough, the Rocketeer movie was sort of like this. The main antagonist wasn't so much a Nazi as he was a spy for them.

Speaking of which and this isn't aimed at you, anyone getting pissy about the Nazis being the bad guys in this game might as well complain about the Rocketeer, the first and third Indiana Jones movies, etc. You can say its lazy and done already. That's fine but don't tell me it's somehow "woke" just because of it.
 
The fact that the main group that the BMP are trying to kill are the Shrews (very clever naming guys) pretty much makes it obvious who they are stand ins for.

But again, I see this as less trying to be "woke", and more just trying to choose villains from that time period.

I understand. So far, I do not understand the outrage based on whatever cultural war context exists today. Maybe Troy Baker’s delivery being a bit stilted and overdone, but it looks to be a fine game itself.
 
Don't be daft. The bad guys in Indiana Jones were clearly shown as Nazis, as an enemy faction hostile to America (in Rockeeter, the mobsters immediately turn against the spy once they learn that). Meanwhile, in Mouse, the not-Nazis have DRUMPF! hair visible in the first minutes of the game along with oversized casino imagery, they're an American political party that the MC doesn't like, even though America back then was ultra-racist and had identical views to the big N (utnil they went into the whole conquering the world bit). It's the trite "DRUMPF IS HITLER!" mantra of woketards. Hell, you even have an achievement for punching a member who was merely promoting his party. I think the posters even talk about making Mouseburg better (great again). Oddly enough, this is not the first game with mice and DRUMPF! jabs. Small Saga also had a blatant stand-in that was even more obvious.
 
The game is funded by a government (Australia) that recently committed billions to more holocaust "teaching" so there is no way to take such dated "punch a nazi" moments in good faith.

Was really looking forward to this game. Many such cases
 
Since this game is full of references, I know there’s references to noir films, but any regarding actresses back then?
 
It seems that cuphead has inadvertantly inspired a cult of poor imitators who seek to mindlessly use this style to try and mask a lack of artistic talent., I'll add it to the list: 1. pixelshit, 2. "PS1-inspired" 3. "rubber-hose". Unlike the prior two, Cuphead stands as a sole exemplar of the style done well and for a good game. Also this is yet another "dave the diver"-esque fake indie game, which seems to be becoming a more prevalent lie.
 
Came here to ask how this is as I haven't seen anyone actually play it yet. It looked excruciatingly mediocre.
Looks like my thoughts are not unique from the thread's past few pages.
 
Back in the day, having Nazis as the enemy in a game wasn't really politically charged as they were just generic bad guys, e.g. Wolfenstein, BloodRayne or just any WWII game. It was like having you fight gangsters or terrorists or something. Now, modern libtard writers use Nazis as a stand-in for their real life political enemies, so it carries a different connotation. Anyone to the right of Trotsky is a Nazi to them.

Anyway, I did give this game a shot but had to refund it after less than an hour. It's just really basic as a shooter and is completely carried by the art style. There are much better "boomer shooters" to spend your money on.
