So, I was looking on Youtube for collectibles guide and found footage of the German language version for the game

and I gotta say.........fuck that's creepy!

The 40k universe is morally ambiguous at the start, with there being no "good guys" and all. But once you have Space Marines (read, the genetically enhanced master race) speaking in space German rather than space British, that whole world takes a darker turn.

Plus, German speaking orks is just fucking weird

racist

I don't see your point.

@Wuddel: When I am playing a video game and see a Super Soldier of some kind speaking German my first instinct is "Oh, this is the result of some Nazi experiment to bring about the Fourth Reich"

@kingzetta: I don't think that makes me a racist as I don't assume that German people are Nazis in the real world, just in video games. But if it does then I apologize.

omg ur such a racist.

But for real, I don't see your point.

Racist

@Fait622: Well, I do feel offended ... somewhat.

That being said. Foreign languages (if you do not speak them) often sound menacing. For a German who does not know English an Amercian ordering a sandwich could might as well speak about WMDs.

Not sure I get it...

Subconscious racism is still racism.

So almost every game ever in German freaks you out?

I went to Germany once and they were all speaking fucking German - you know, like the Nazis did - and I was all like "Don't kill me bro, I ain't no jew!" 
 
Also, 40k isn't that morally ambiguous.  

Subconscious racism is still racism.
