New Wolfenstein

[ECA]

Soooo it's basically the last wolfenstein w/ call of juarez mechanics ( bullet time + squad support ) + some funky stuff.

That said it's pretty damn good. Enjoying it on my new 28"

 

[Moriath]

will be getting it tomorrow

hows the multiplayer ?

 

[Kryten]

oddly enough first time i've heard about this.
And looking at the launch trailer and pictures, I'd not be far wrong if I thought I was watchign a trailer for a Hellboy movie - minus the big red guy of course.

Will buy though

 

[Kryten]

Well, I'm clearly not wrong

Plus of course the portals etc.

 

[ECA]

Krytie - Didn't you play the last wolfie? It was vs the occult as well

 

[Kryten]

Yeah - it's not the occult thingy (I enjoyed the game thoroughly and will, despite the aging game engine, still likely enjoy this new game thoroughly too). Just found the similarity to Hellboy (which ok, shares much of the same type of story) very odd

And no, it wasn't just an excuse to post pictures of leather-laden german ladies - Max Moseley I'm not!

 

[TdC]

[Moriath]

Not a clue who they are but I've reported my post

 

[ECA]

I'm coming towards the end of it ( Hopefully ) and it's a lot of fun ( SP ).

I heard the game is so easy even on the hardest setting?

True or false?

I'm tempted to rent as from what players have been saying is that it's nothing special?

 

[ECA]

Hmmm it has automatic checkpointing for save/loads so yeah even on the hardest setting you'll get through most of it ( boss fights might be something else ).

I just finished the Castle level and honestly a very very cool level.

Maybe people are confusing how easy it feels w/ veil powers vs normal shooters although it definately hasn't been that tough the boss fights are all cool and super enjoyable.
n.

 

[MYstIC G]

Is it on Steam?

 

[ECA]

Not on Steam, which is weird because id have been putting games on albeit older stuff.

Oh btw just as a comparison - I'm enjoying this one a lot more than RTCW.

I think i'll pick it up for the PC can't go wrong for £25 i guess.

 

[Kryten]

Looking forward to receiving it Shame it wont be till after my holiday next week :|

Might be due to this.

24/06/09 ZeniMax Media Acquires id Software

 

[Noc0de]

I'm torn whether to purchase this or not. The Eurogamer review wasn't too favourable (6/10) :-/

 

[Aada]

A friend has had it for around 4 hours now he's told me not to bother as it's too easy, the AI is pretty poor and the online is pretty shit.

Shame ;/

 

[ECA]

Just finished the singleplayer off ( I'm not interested in the multiplayer so dont ask ).

I enjoyed it more than any other FPS I've played in a long time ( more fun than call of juarez/hl2+ep1/2/rtcw etc ).

Anyone else who's actually played it confirm I'm not a loon? I enjoyed the town sections and finding the tomes to unlock the extra power + veil abilities.

 

[Moriath]

im on to just past the warehouse .. i lovin it so far ..

nice old school no dicking about fps imo

 

[Moriath]

aada the AI goes back to how wolfenstein always was nothing bad there .. just not the all singing all dancing AI that breaks so regularly in modern fps's

And i like the online so far

It doesnt have to be hard as nials to have a good time in a game ... enjoy the story and the action the weapsona nd the carnage ..

IMO

 

[ECA]

People criticising the AI in this game have no fucking clue how to play it imo.
Most of the grunts are just cannon fodder while you run n gun w/ powers between the "veil refresh" points.

I have a sneaky feeling the eurogamer reviewer didnt use standard veil enough and spammed Mire and got frustrated as a result.

 

[nath]

more fun than [...]hl2+ep1/2

Madness!

I'll have to check it out.

 

[Vintersorg]

been playing it also since yesterday and I think it's great.
Then again, it's Wolfenstein, so how could it go wrong

 

[Moriath]

just completed the cannery now

fun still i am mostly using conventional weapons tho

mp44 and mp40 rox

 

[Aada]

Bought it today it ain't bad the mp is probably the worst I've ever seen in quite a while but the single player saves the game.

Would give it a 7/10
