It's okay, the first level makes a poor impression but it gets better after that, never quite reaches the heights of TNO though and the weapons are a bit boring since it's all just WW2 stuff. And the boss fight at the end suuuuucked but that's no different than TNO.

I liked everything outside of the final fight, which basically exists to illustrate why you can't just copy-paste a third-person action game boss into a fps.

Maybe Portal/Portal 2 and some of the HL/HL2 bosses but those were kind of unique, especially both Portals and HL2 since they made use of the centerpiece gimmick of the game.

Bulletstorm had that plant boss fight which actually worked out pretty well, and felt mechanically similar to something you might see from a third person adventure title. But hey, I'm one of those weirdos who really liked Bulletstorm.

?

The weapons are basically the same in functionality as TNO's, and the rocket pistol's even making a return in the new one. Generally though, I do think that nu-Wolfenstein has been lacking somewhat when it comes to weapon design, automatik flak guns obviously excluded.

I thought Shadow Warrior's bosses were cool. Less so SW2's.

It is not as good as TNO obviously, being an expansion. It doesn't have any of the cutscenes TNO did to add to its characters, relying entirely on voices over in game animation (and not as much as that either), several small "wave" combat arenas from the separate score attack mode pop in the main game and never feel right (that's not all there is though), and first gameplay section can be tedious.

However if you liked the shooting of TNO and want a short homage to Return to Castle Wolfenstein there's still plenty to enjoy. BJ and friends (and the main Nazis) get just enough character work to make things enjoyable beyond the combat and you eventually shoot your way through a city of zombies, Nazis, and Nazi zombies with a double barrel shotgun alongside a great soundtrack and some wicked ambiance.




Also holy poo poo they're actually bringing in Hitler.

Olaric is blind. Don't make sounds and he won't attack you. Use only explosives which are much easier to fool his sound tracking. If you stay quiet, he'll kill all the nazi mooks that run in because they're dumb and shoot guns.

Tell me you have a link. I'm compelled to respond with "get hosed, Nazi trash". Yeah yeah don't touch the poop, etc, but sometimes you just gotta tell a Nazi to gently caress themselves, you know?

I don't doubt that he means every word of it, but there's probably a counterpoint to be made in that he thought the best place to air those opinions was by writing a short essay as a YouTube comment.

Sadly you can't embed gifs in Youtube replies because I think the proper reply is "Let me just axe you a few questions about your viewpoint" with BJ axe murdering a Nazi.

The best part is that even Bethesda is leaning into it and being like "yeah it's a game about massacring whole hordes of nazis, in lots of different and violent ways, what of it" to the point where their own page about weapons includes a "Defeat 'em with reasoned debate" section that's basically "yeah nope gently caress that, moving on to THE PANZERHUND"

It seemed like at first the response to their Twitter made Bethesda a little timid (remember they said their was no political intention in the ad campaign), but now they've fully doubled down on it and it's awesome. Then again, supporting Nazis is not a loving political opinion. Goddamn I hate a majority of gamer culture, no wonder game devs think their audience is toxic.

I think the best response would simply be a link to a scan of your receipt for the game.
