Wolfenstein: The New Order

[Zewp]

Most of the information about the game being complete shit was received before the 12th of June. By then we knew enough to know it wouldn't even be a good standalone game. If you didn't think the game was going to be a trainwreck by the 12th of June, they didn't exactly release information that would be enough to change your mind after that time. Whatever came after that was the icing on the cake.

I'm going to buy Thief on day one now, just to annoy you. Maybe I will also send them a letter saying "thank you for finally making stealth games accessible!" and I will sign it "Zewp, RPG Codex."

 

[Zewp]

Thank you. You will be out $60 and they might just come read my posts about their game on this forum. I win both ways.

Lithuanian hitman dispatched.

The new odor is just another shining example of how much people like to rag on about the nazis being uniformly evil and weird - typical post-war propaganda- slap some shit gameplay on top and you have shit caked on shit.

A game for jews and white-guilt beta males. PASS.

Yes but I'll be supporting them! I will fund the decline in your name! I will post on the Steam forums consistently about how great it is and how people need to shut up. I'll even throw in some comments about how "horribly dark" the originals are, how jumping is only for silly people, how stealth is much more fun when you can slaughter all the enemies using slo-mo. Thank you letters! Day one DLC purchases! Shit, I'll buy all the pre-order item codes on ebay! And all in your glorious name, to prove how right you are that I am so in love with the game.

...

Or maybe I'll get it in a Steam sale and enjoy it for what it is. And still annoy you.

It's kinda cute how you think you playing shit games would somehow annoy me. It's more pitiable than annoying. Kinda like watching a mentally handicapped 7 year old realise that if he presses buttons on dada's phone it goes 'beep.'

The point was in your name, dummy. At least mock the joke properly.

Anyway what the fuck were we talking about again? The thrilling insight of "first person stealth sucks" or "it's dark and violent so it sucks" or something else? I forget.

 

[sexbad?]

RtCW had a good stealth level. The first one sucked but the assassination one was really nice.

 

[Zewp]

I don't even know anymore. I just like giving you trouble for holding unpopular opinions. I haven't even begun reading the media on the new Wolfenstein. I'll probably pirate both this and Thief on day one to see what they're like.

I don't see anything that terrible in that RPS preview (bullet spongy enemies aside), the nazis are evil thing is expected as the older Wolfenstein games and almost all WW2 games do that too. The question is if they are going to take it to extremes of grimdarkness and take it too seriously, that can be a little irritating because in the older games you were never supposed to take that shit seriously as the nazis appeared more like James Bond villains .

About violence for shock value, that is tasteless but hardly makes a FPS terrible. The comment about stealth, I understood as the RPS reviewer commenting about the usual irrealistic habit of enemies in stealth games, walking alone in patrols to expose their backs to you to allow stealth and the enemies in Wolfenstein did the same so stealth would be something viable, what is actually an improvement as the older games never truly supported stealth with the exception of a few situations. Basically, what the RPS preview said is that the game plays like a modern shooter (regenerative health, iron sights and etc.) with a few twists like dual wielding, that was expected, the question is military shooters levels of popamole railroading or something with more "open" levels with nice shooting arenas and interesting enemies to fight and based on a comment made by the RPS guy the game is more "open" and not just full of corridors.

Think of the young Nazis growing up in this world, taking this stuff to heart and emulating your flawed opinions of them. Have a heart, Codex.

They're not pulling any punches here regarding violence. But this feels like oldschool catapulted into the 21st century done right.

 

[potatojohn]

The gameplay looks really weak and I don't understand the point of the cutscenes. I don't need a fucking elaborate setup to justifty my shooting of nazis. They're nazis. You shoot them. It's an acceptable premise. Always has been.

 

[sexbad?]

I might have to buy it just for the soundtrack. It doesn't look nearly enticing enough to buy it at full price, but it might be worth a few $ bux. The cutscenes look like they'll be handled in a similar manner to The Darkness 2 or Riddick, in that they're definitely there for frills mostly, but they're suitably violent for a shooter. The throat ripping at the end was perfect.

You are a blunt dumbfuck if you don't understand the point of these cutscenes.

 

[dunno lah]

I didn't know Morgoth was a fan of Call of Duty.

 

[Sodafish]

Showcasing it on a console doesn't help.

 

[DeepOcean]

From a gunplay standpoint, you can see from the trailer: 1)Enemies die fast (thank God, no bullet sponges), 2) Their body react when hit(What gives a nice feeling to the weapons, I hated Bioshock Infinite enemies that could take shotgun shots to the face and didn't showed any reaction.), 3) There is tons of blood (coupled with the enemies body reaction gives that nice feeling of shooting and seeing the power of the shot), 4)The scenario is, at least, partialy destructible. From a level design standpoint, there isn't much to see, only a CoD sequence and short clips of a few rooms, when they show an entire level from start to finish it will be possible to know how frequent those CoD sections are.

 

[DeepOcean]

It appears that the demo in PAX really gives the impression that is CoD:Wolfenstein

 

[DefJam101]

Looks boring.

At this rate we'll never see a good idtech5 game. Meanwhile, UE3 shitfests are everywhere

Did anyone ever expect otherwise?
