I’m finally playing this game since it was on sale. I loved the New Order and Old Blood. One thing I will say is that so far the game is gorgeous. I’m running at ultrawide resolution with all graphics options turned up, and it never dips below 100fps. one complaint I have though (and I had the same complaint from the first game) is the enemies blend into their surroundings a little too well. Sometimes I want to just run and gun, and I keep getting shot because nazis are chameleons and hide right in front of me.

Arcsquad12 posted:The trouble is that New Colossus's story was written in 2015-2016 before the neofascist wave really started to hit hard in North America, so the game has a different tact regarding american racism than what audiences were led to expect by the marketing. It's a game that simultaneously wants to condemn the horrific nature of Jim Crow segregation and violence against minorities, but also firmly believes that America's fighting spirit will always rise against all tyrants, and the will to fight can come from anyone regardless of race, gender or ethnicity. That in itself isn't a bad setup for a story, but it's one that would have been a lot more resonant before real life decided that 2016-onwards would be a horrific nightmare where good things don't happen. I don’t ever really overthink this poo poo. It’s a video game. I’m here to shoot nazis and watch BJ brood.

I take all the games as canon and just use mentally ambiguous time lines. The gist being that poo poo from 3D, RTCW and 09 is “stuff that BJ did/happened to BJ” and let the games pick up from there. I think that’s the designer’s intention as well.

The issue with Wolf 09 is less that it’s underrated (it is tho) but that it’s the only Wolf game not available digitally. I no longer buy games on disc anymore unless it’s a collector’s edition and I’m sure I’m not alone.

Can I play new Wolf by myself and have a fun time? Still need to complete TNC first I guess.

I haven’t played this game, only read this thread and watched a couple of reviews. The way I understood the game to be is that it’s hub based and you have to go out and kill poo poo and level up before even considering tackling the main story content. If you’re a lower level than a given quest, you just go grind until you’re the appropriate level and then proceed. Am I understanding that correctly? Again, I haven’t played, but it seems pretty simple. Does the game do a poor job of gating encounters or something, or does it not give enough info as to how to proceed?

We need more songs like Mick Gordon/Tex Perkin's "The Partisan". That song was incredible.

Arcsquad12 posted:I want to start another go at New Colossus where I go full combat and ignore stealth. Is it viable to do that or am I going to hurt myself because of all the hitscan weapons and bad damage feedback? I just put the game on the easiest difficulty and played this way. It was a lot of fun and I heartily recommend it. This game seems really punishing on anything above easy, mainly because the enemies see to be the same color as the environment at all times.
