All the advertising has made the game seem way more arcadey, more akin to Doom 2016 than the previous Wolfenstein games where you definitely couldn't run and gun as much as these trailers imply.

DOOM is DOOM.. you see a number after the word DOOM? nope? not a sequel. it wasn't marketed as Doom 4 or a sequel but a reboot..
now look at Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus.. you see that number after the world WOLFENSTEIN? Sequel.

wtf?

they should announce a multiplayer mode

and it only has one mode

the underground has to convince the Nazi's to renounce their ways and join their side through the power of words

i'm sure somebody has already made this joke

also there was a garry's mod "nazi occupation" role play server like the prison role playing ones i was on once because i was like what the fuck is this when i saw it in the mode list, but anyway the best part was if you were the banker you could print money and wreck the economy which got me a 24 hour ban, but anyway back to my story this one time, before i got banned for flooding the market with money because i had setup printers in the underground sewers and then swapped to different statuses collected the money and filtered it back into the economy, but the point of my story is this time was where the fuhrer (who was randomly selected after the prior one was killed) was messing up their role playing in some manner i forget, he wasn't following the server rules which were like six pages long and shit, so the rebels and nazis and "normal" people (banker/shopkeeps/etc.) gathered (VOIP and even text chat worked in a manner in which it was only visible/able to be heard at semi-realistic distances) and when the fuhrer rejected a referendum request the guards moved the barracades and let us storm and loot the HQ and kill him

so basically what i'm saying is that garry's mod is pretty insane

i still haven't played the last one, and only like a third of the 2009 one which i don't think you can get anymore digitally? :doge

iirc, it was mainly a music industry thing. You get more days to count towards first week sales numbers and you give retailers the whole weekend to stock your product. Yes, it's incredibly outdated which is why the Friday thing is more common now.

I'm really curious if this game will continue down the lines TNO did with some semi "open" areas and be more of a Riddick successor because of it. I recall everyone went nuts for that prison section in TNO because it evoked a lot of the same designs from Riddick but I didn't really find it all that interesting.

So uh... this game seems to have some technical issues so far. Seems for NVIDIA users the game triggers a BSOD when you change some of the visual settings. I happened to me when I tried to alt+tab out, and also when I changed the VSync setting. In latter case, now its actually broken completely. Game launches and it displays the initial gamma setting config with an error "Message Type Not Defined" and then the main menu is completely blank.

I guess my save games are corrupted and I need to delete them locally... but I can't find my local saves, so I'm reinstalling the game.

Managed to find where my save games are - deleted them. Then disabled Cloud saves and the game launches normally. Then I enabled Cloud saves again and launched the game again and it gave me the same error "Message Type Not Defined" but the main menu popped up and my progress is still there.

So when I get home I'll see if the game is working I guess?

Blew through the first few missions pretty quick, although it would have gone quicker except I have a tendency to over-extend myself constantly and get killed. It's a very fun game so far, quick and solid gunplay with some really great graphics. Love the story, too, setting it in America with Nazis really adds a little kick to it.

The part after you arrive in USA and have to "Stall the Nazis" is probably one of the most frustrating combat encounters I've seen. Small space + lots of enemies + take a lot of damage. So damn hard. I had to bump the difficulty down.

8 hours in and from what I can tell I’ve almost beaten it. Good game for a rental! I think I preferred The Evil Within 2 more though. This game just feels like it had more political hype surrounding it that overshadowed the fact that it’s just...Wolfenstein.

Happy with my purchase of Assassin’s Creed: Origins though because they really changed up the formula and it feels more like The Witcher 3 with better combat whereas this just feels like Wolfenstein with 3-4 “shock value” sequences.

Other than occasionally getting annoyed at dying all the time [generally it's my own fault for being too aggressive], I'm really having a lot of fun. It's got a lot of great action, buttery smooth gameplay, amazing graphics, bumping soundtrack, and I even like the cutscenes/story. I've made it to a pretty incredible part of the game, won't post any spoilers but I'll just say that you end up in a pretty unexpected location. That whole part is amazing and hilarious, and I'm still just getting started on that level.

One thing that kind of annoys me is having to press a button to pick up armor and ammo on the ground. Just feels like an extra step that doesn't need to be there and the prompt is a bit finicky, so occasionally it's hard to get in the right place to pick stuff up.

I feel like you're right and the game is wrong. The game should reward aggression, or at least make it a viable alternative to stealth killing the commanders. I don't generally play games on easy mode but I just do not want to play this as they want me to, just like the last game.

It's still a lot of fun though and I love the presentation.

I'd say that's the game's biggest fault: it feels like it's giving me the tools to play very aggressively, but I'm constantly dying due to getting stuck in the open away from cover or being flanked by an enemy I didn't see coming. It's kinda somewhere between the constant aggressive combat of Doom and the more standard cover FPS of CoD and the like. Still having a lot of fun, though, and it does just about everything else right, but I wish they could have struck that balance a little bitter.

I finished it in 13 hours and 38 minutes on the second Normal difficulty mode, "Bring it On" or whatever it's called. There's two of them, one is "Normal for people used to FPS games" and the other was "Normal for people experienced with FPS games." You don't get a(n) trophy/achievement for the first one. I enjoyed it but I still feel like it mostly relied on shock value and I didn't enjoy the perks as much as the first game/side-game. I would actually go out of my way to re-load games to farm those perks but in this one I just didn't care because they didn't seem to make much of a difference. I also didn't do any of the side-quests after finishing the game, which there are a lot of because of the assassination missions and the millions of collectible items in it. I just couldn't be bothered. I returned it to Red Box earlier. I feel like it was an enjoyable experience but it was just same ole', same ole' Wolfenstein, just this time with more attention to it because "OMG GUYS KILLING NAZIS!" The two KKK members you see in the Firefighter video are the ONLY KKK members in the entire game. Great marketing on that front to get the outrage brigade to get the game but eh, it's a rental at best.

Also the leaning mechanics just didn't feel right. The A.I. seemed too iffy, unlike the first games. You could lean around a corner and they'd spot you somehow (wouldn't happen in the first games), then they'd just stand and stare at where you were at. In the other two, they wouldn't notice you and would walk past you, letting you stealth kill them. That was frustrating as hell because of the stealth way I was trying to play and contraption I chose (yes I know you can get them all in one play through).

I noticed that if I just walked over ammo sometimes it'd automatically pick it up but armor and health items, I'd have to actually look at them and press the button to pick them up. Super annoying. Don't even get me started on that last final battle. I was both disappointed with this one and pleased with the "shock value" moments but I guess I could've just YouTubed those but eh, for $6.40 and 13.5 hours of my time it's whatever.

Beat it today. Pretty happy with how the end played out, still a few little things here and there that are probably for if they do another Wolfenstein in a few years but nothing really major that makes the ending feel incomplete.

Ok so I'm going down the Wyatt timeline. And he goes on this acid-fueled rant about the Nazi's having their base on Venus and that we need to take a helicopter to Venus and I'm like "Damn this dude is crazy". Then Anya butts in with a real plan and I'm like, ok girl give us the real actual plan. And she says "Oh we need to have you pose as this actor and that's how we'll get you to Venus"

and I'm like. WAIT SO THE VENUS THING WAS ACTUALLY REAL? LIKE FOR REAL FOR REAL? and yup, off we go to fucking VENUS.

They got me a few times, but I managed to get the upper hand by bringing one of the heavy weapons [the one that shoots the giant ball of energy] up the elevator with me and used that to get in some major damage at a distance.

Started playing this yesterday and so far it seems...not amazing?

It’s competent, but I’m really not enjoying the gunplay or how weak my dude is. In fact I put it down on the lowest difficulty (which is way TOO easy, but the next one up I would die quite often). I feel like the movement options aren’t enough to make run and gun really viable, and too many of the levels are complicated to navigate. Especially in bombed out NYC and Section F of the sub.

I do like that most of the levels are short though. It’s a nice touch. Default health should be 100 however and not 50.
Title: Re: WOLFENSTEIN II: THE NEW COLOSSUS
Post by: fistfulofmetal on November 06, 2017, 12:25:37 PM
Default is 50 because your character is dying. It goes back to 100 later in the game for a reason.

I played most of the game on the middle difficulty. The key is to not approach it like Doom or even a typical cover. It fits in between where you always need to be moving at all times. Staying in place behind cover will get you killed. Always dual wield if you can and just dump. Always be looking out for health and armor pickups.

I've found most people don't enjoy the combat because they're playing like other shooters and the pace is different.

Yeah, it’s just a weird flow to me. Like I just don’t exactly understand what the game wants me to do to be good at it.

Doom 2016 was FPS bliss for me.That game really nailed combat. Wolfenstein it just seems like too often an enemy gets the jump on me for whatever reason and I’m dead in a split second. Like no time to respond or even figure out what killed me.

Just finished The New Order for the first time.

I'd heard a lot of people recommend it after loving the fuck outta Doom and honestly? That game is dogshit compared to Doom. I despise the stealth aspects, commander mechanic and survival horror resource management bits.

Hoping 2 improves on my issues with the first, but I'll just lower the difficulty and see the story if I have to.

Yep that was my problem with TNO. You die so quickly, like waiting one sec to turn around and shoot a guy can result in your death. Which then means your running around scurrying for health and armor which means you spend a lot of time looking at the floor because I guess hovering on stuff to get it is a bad idea. In your hectic FPS game. Stealth isn't fun and since the game moves so fast it feels like it's supposed to be a twitch shooter, but that seems at odds with how the game actually plays out.

I'm not sure 2 actually solves this.

I finished this yesterday and what a mixed bag it is. The story and art direction are some of the best I've seen in ages. The U-Boat feels really lived in in the same way the hideout of the first one did but bigger and more detailed. The level design has some confusing decisions in terms of flow, but the arena areas are sick - the problem is, the gunplay is so weak that you never get to really traverse them in any kind of interesting way. DOOM had a great balance of push and pull in combat, and really pushed you to move around the various areas in order to stay alive and keep your streak going. In this, you're constantly getting mowed down in two seconds without realizing it until you're dead, and when you're fighting, you're constantly flicking the mouse down while hammering E so you can stave off death. The weapons are pretty cool, especially upgraded, and when the opportunity to use them in a relatively open area arises, the shooting can be fun, but for the most part it just feels weak.

That said, the story is so bonkers that I can basically put all that aside. The first one was over the top at points, but TNC is ready to just jump off the rails, then jump off whatever it lands of from there into outer space. I'm pleasantly surprised to see a game this big that's allowed to be this weird.

So I turned down the difficulty(to normal and even then) and just never used aim down the sights. Also upgrading the shotgun and assault rifle(with the scope) and basically those are the only guns you need. Made the gameplay more enjoyable, but nowhere near Doom levels. But I could play more ham though and less stealth. In the end the gunplay is ok, it still is frustruating though because you feel so week and have to scurry around way too much. Still fun, but I sure did die a lot.

But I think the overall art, presentation, writing, story, and characters made up for it. I didn't think BJ was amazing in New Order, but I found him far more likable here. There are so many great character moments in this game it's almost touching. Also the voice acting was great.

This game sounds very much like something worth playing when it's $20 or less...like the first two.  :doge

If I can grab it for $20-$25 during Black Friday sales, I'll pick it up.  But I still haven't played the other games in this series yet anyway.  Don't know if I'll ever play Return To Castle Wolfenstein, but I would like to play the 2009 Activision-published Wolfenstein first before going through the Bethesda games.

Just beat it. This game really picks up in the last 40% or so.

I ended up putting the difficulty way down to the easiest level, and played it as a run and gun. IMO, it’s much better that way as the gunplay is just... not amazing in general.

I've heard a lot of takes that the shooting is bad in this game which I don't agree with at all. The only aspect that I don't love is that hit detection, but other than that I think it's super fun.

that makes it ~$25 which is one of the lowest prices on a big site, fanatical has it for $26 (code: WINTER10)

gamebillet which i've never used and is yet another terrible name for a website which makes me question it but is probably fine has it for $23 (code: gb5off)

something called voidu which is Yurop centric has it for ~$24/20 euros

should note, this game has some kinda wild key activation restrictions especially depending on the site, fanatical says their version only activates in US and Canada, GameBillet says theirs will not activate in "Austria | Bahrain | Germany | Israel | Japan | Kuwait | Lebanon | Oman | Qatar | Saudi Arabia", Voidu says will not activate in Germany

it seems that although Germany is the only country that it's totally forbidden in for most places, Zenimax may not have any keys that activate in Austria either

so definitely check the details on the keys for this game if you live outside trump's america

So im like an hour and this is very much a toku game, glad machinegames still shining. It's actually reminds me more of Riddick and Darkness 1 than TNO did which is a good thing. I saw a lot of mixed or negative reactions to all the cutscenes and storytelling but that's what makes machinegames games for me. They're the only ones still doing FPS storytelling on this level.
