>>713986398 (OP)I don't think 2 sold well enough. Or rather, maybe it did, but the shitty co op game they released right after it bombed.
I feel like they were laying it on too thick in the second game, too. Idk why. The first one seemed gritty and cool, then the second one verged into masochistic territory. There was always a trace of that in the first game. I mean, I guess it's the main point: all these fugly retards still have human dignity, and you as BJ fight for them.
But then in the second game your head gets cut off, there's the sassy pregnant black lady (not even sassy, just pissed off), and the fat daughter of the main villainess. Also, where the fuck is Hitler?
The first game's plot was weird as fuck in its implication that the Nazi supertechnology was stolen from a gaggle of wise undersea Hebrew schnorrers. it's also mildly racist. Should have just made the Nazis cut a deal with the devil or some shit like in the original Wolfenstein.
Also, the general overarching theme that Nazism was not in essence an enormous cult of personality driven by Hitler is just ridiculous to me. I get that they don't want to platform him or whatever, but it's stupid.
