General China posted:The word motherfucker ( well motherfugger ) is used several times in Norman Mailers 1948 novel the Naked and the Dead, which is about world war 2. Then theres the 1960s anarchist political group Up Against The Wall Motherfuckers who were mostly if not all white. They are the only 2 examples I can think of from the top of my head but theres bound to be more. Scots aren't human. Anything they say is unintelligible and foreign.  Being honest though, I had no idea what Fergus was saying for like half the game.

One thing i hated about your allies in Wolf09 was that everyone was either a cardboard cutout, or lining up to suck your dick constantly. "Oh good job Blazcowicz mein freund you really gave ze nazis a kicking, it is gut you are here" etc all the loving time. It made me wanna poo poo all over their friendly loving faces. I could gripe about that game endlessly. Such a shame cause i expected better from Raven. TNO did a better job. The resistance feels alot more like a bunch of different people who wouldn't normally be friends having to work together. It feels more convincing. RTCW lacked allied characters and had nothing but cardboard villains. Well except for the OSA guys. But they did it with style. Helga Von Bulow looked like the mean foodlady who chainsmokes at your elementary school. She had a knack for laughing maniacally or making statements in sync with the thunder. And Strasse was a mad evil nazi scientist who was always annoyed by B.J interrupting his schemes. And strangely it never felt inappropriate or any less serious because of it. Or maybe that's just my nostalgia talking.

Also, if you're thinking of going back and playing the original Wolf 3D or Spear of Destiny, grab ECWolf. It adds higher resolutions (like they're really needed...), proper strafing, AN AUTOMAP (practically necessary), and it detects the game files automagically if you've downloaded them from Steam.

I'm sad to read that this game does not support SLI. Does anyone know what kind of performance I can expect on a single 3GB GTX580 at 1080p? None of the benchmarks I've seen include a card this old. drat shame I won't be able to SLI (which was equivalent to about a GTX780, with double the heat/power consumption haha).

Hearing the dulcet tones of Tony Jay made the cutscenes in RTCW much more bearable.

It looks like the weapon select menu picture of the 1946 assault rifle has a bayonet folded under the barrel. Is this a feature that got cut from the game, or some alternate mode that I haven't figured out how to use?

The cutscenes have higher poly models and some other graphical improvements. But it still looks worse than on the PC (weird facial animations and just plain odd in general). I'm not sure Grey Matter even had a hand in the ports. It's a shame that the Cursed Sands episode wasn't included in the GOTY edition on PC. But if that means we were spared all the other poo poo they added for the console versions then so be it (although coop was nice).

Blazko's use of the word "motherfucker" in 1960 is entirely anachronistic, as the word was only known in African-American vernacular until the 1980's.

Playing an FPS on a console at the time seemed anathema since those ports came out a long time after RTCW's release. Believe it or not RTCW was my first mouse and keyboard FPS. I had always played Doom with the keyboard, and I didn't have a PC powerful enough to play Quake or its contemporaries so I missed out on those games with the ability to look up. The very first time I launched RTCW I played only with a keyboard in the first level until I realized "man this is really dumb" and then tried mouse aiming, and BOY what a revelation it was.

I started up a game on my own and soon enough some guy named Heinrich joined me. We went through the start of the game up to the rocket base before nvidia experience decided to notify me of new drivers and crashed the game. It was fun! The console ports added 4 new levels i think, all taking place in Egypt as part of a prologue. After that it's pretty much the PC game but with some new enemy types (dogs and some weird occult priests that shoot lightning out of their hands or something) and a shotgun added.

Is the a special way to take down the 1960 super soldier? I recently played through the part where you have to steal a train car, and I ended up killing three super soldiers by hiding under the platform and shooting their knees with the shotgun. But if it wasn't for them being so stupid, I don't think I ever would have gotten past that part.

Scope-aimed LKW kills supersoldiers in two shots (if you can line it up properly). That's the best way to kill them. You can totally cheese the train section though by jumping onto the car and hitting the switch. You can avoid fighting them altogether. But only a scrub does that.

I figured that was the case when I killed every last one of them and didn't give a spinny, autosave wheel, or a quip the protagonist. Still, is the most efficient shooting them in the face till their mask falls off? Because, gently caress me, that's tough. I remember bumping the difficulty up to uber during the 1946 segment, thinking how easy the game was. Also, about graphics: my computer can run on ultra with no problem, except in certain segments where there's light shafts pouring through smoke/dust. I gave up trying to figure out what it was and just put everything to media. Anyone know if that's a specific thing I can turn off? Triggsz posted:Scope-aimed LKW kills supersoldiers in two shots (if you can line it up properly). That's the best way to kill them.

When you aim through the scope it can fire several shots at once. You'll notice the rectangular areas in the scope lighting up, i think each represents a shot each. Two shots (which is like 6 or 8 regular shots without the scope) usually deplete my full charge when shooting supers. It makes fighting them way too easy. VVVV It took me awhile to realize that too. I was wondering why i was running out of ammo so quickly. The scope turns it into an aimbot-deathray. Amebx fucked around with this message at 22:20 on May 28, 2014 |

I spared the lives of the three or so Nazis that begged you for their lives in RTCW because while I'm a Nazi killing machine, I'm not a monster. Also it's funny to kind of watch them whimper. Plus, one of them actually tells you how to beat a level! I also found it in character that some scientists/mechanics would be cowardly. The fact that there were no wimps in TNO bummed me out a bit, if only because I would have loved BJ's reactions to them. The seeming lack of mechanics/engineers was noticed.

Does anyone else have a problem with the game having little to no bass from their speakers, it seems as if nothing in the game really has any oomph to it. I am using a standard 5.1 setup from a sound blaster Z (latest drivers), with music and any other game I can get window shaking bass but with wolfenstein not so much. I know the sound mix is a bit off, and the character voices get a bit lost, but it's really offputting having all these powerful weapons that feel like airsoft guns.

Just look at him going off on Klaus after seeing that tattoo. Or him hating the moon for harboring nazis. He's just wired that way. Maybe he was created in a lab from the bodyparts of dead GI's? Maybe his OCD won't let any nazis go by. As long as there are nazis still breathing you can count on this: Blazcowicz is ruining someone's schnitzel. No he doesn't loving die at the end. For a nazi that's just wishful thinking (Shut up Kefka)

I think they explicitly wanted to avoid any sort of moral choice other than The Choice, which doesn't have a correct answer. That said, if you take the secret passage behind Deathshead's portrait in 1946... The nazi officer on the phone there will eventually tell his commander that he's got children, and of course he doesn't want anything bad to happen to them. It's not really a moral dilemma or anything, but it's definitely ice-cold to stab a dude through the throat after you just heard that his children will probably be punished if he fails.

Just beat it. I thought the ending, for what it was, was really really well executed. But, on the other hand, it's another loving game that ends on a world-changing event and has zero epilogue or denouement. I'm so loving sick of this. It was lovely and lazy when XCOM, DXHR, and Dishonored did it, and it's still lovely and lazy here. What happens next? Who gives a gently caress! You beat the game, time to stop acting like the story ever mattered! What's even worse is that it manages to be both utterly final, and yet resolve nothing. Also the song over the end credits is terrible.

XCOM is primarily a strategy game with a very barebones narrative tacked-on, so I'm not sure what you expected. Unless you're talking about The Bureau which actually does talk about what happened afterwards, it's just completely stupid. DXHR I agree with, but in their defense there's an entire game that they had to be mindful of not stepping over while going into the consequences of your actions, and some of the endings do give you a bigger picture of what went down. I've never played Dishonored so you got me there. Also I thought it was an okay song!

That was probably the worst ending to a game i've ever played. But you're right. Although i'd argue it's not as final as it appears. The sound of the chopper coming back leaves the impression that Anya and the gang came back for him before the nuke went off. And B.J has been stabbed, shot, and blown up repeatedly enough times to walk away from a handgrenade to the face. Yes that sounds stupid but it's loving Wolfenstein we're talking about. If anything it leaves us with a cliffhanger that is just as much a bad way to end a game. Atleast we got to end Strasse after 3 games of constantly hunting that slimy fucker

Then there is a readme that shows what pk3-files you need to copy from your RTCW Main into the mod Main folder. To my surprise there are actually servers and players. Not many, but you can probably get someone to drop in if you host a game.

Guys. GUYS. I got the Panzerhund box set in the mail today, and it is cool as gently caress. It's got so much random poo poo. It comes with Fergus' dog tags. They're metal, too! Other poo poo includes: Blueprints for the 1946 Luger Blueprints for London Nautica Blueprints for the stealth helicopters A trio of embroidered patches (a Panzerhund logo, a lunar base logo, and the London Nautica logo) A letter (in German) BJ's head X-ray showing the shrapnel embedded in there (it's even done on translucent paper so it could be backlit like a real X-ray). A steelbook case for the game, which even has enough disc holders for whatever version of the game you got A book of postcards featuring concept art (but it's all done up like sightseeing tourist postcards) Oh yeah and a Panzerhund statue.  Like this set is totally ridiculous. Absolutely worth the $100 if you're a Wolfenstein nerd. Edit-- did I say Panzerhund statue? Because it's a fully articulated figure. The head, the jaws, the legs, the tail, all of it. I'm seriously nerding out here guys. Xenomrph fucked around with this message at 00:45 on May 29, 2014 |
