downzy Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Any had a chance to play this yet? Seems to be getting decent reviews and a far amount of hate from the alt-right. Seems like my kind of game. Interesting article/review on Vice magazine. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/vb3dnm/wolfenstein-ii-review-nazis This is definitely one I'll add whenever I get around to buying a current gen system. Likely won't be upgrading until next spring. Still have a handful of Xbox 360 games and SNES to keep me busy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try to snag one for Black Friday- I’ve seen an Xbone going for 200 with a 25 gift card at Target. Game looks good but don’t have a lot of interest since I haven’t played the first one.

Far cheaper than buying one and better than a console! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm holding out for the Xbox One X. Will only be buying one system to play RDR2 and a few other games. Other than the new Spider-Man game, Sony's exclusives don't really do much for me. So I don't mind holding off until RDR 2 comes out and then hoping a lot of the games that are being released now can be had second hand or significantly cheaper. I am excited for this one though.

Appreciate the offer but I'm lazy when it comes to gaming; I just want something I can turn on and be playing a game a few seconds later. From the late 80s to early 90s I mostly played PC games but now I'm an old man and will likely only play the odd game here and there. Plus, from the reviews I've been reading the Xbox One X offers a lot of value when you factor in specs and the fact that it has a UHD Blu-Ray player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, most of time someone plays a PC game, their PC is already on (as is the nature of a multipurpose machine). And with a SSD, loading up a game in less than 30 seconds is absolutely possible; I do it almost every day. Even if my PC was off, I'd still confidently say from "off" to "in game" is less than 90 seconds. Would a console be a bit faster in this case? Could be, but not by a lot. I assume your comment was meant to be a bit hyperbolic, but I've taken it literally anyway in an effort to recruit into PC Master Race. Our Basic registration fee is around $1K, but you can become a VIP member starting around $2K. EDIT: Right, and regarding the topic. I've never played a Wolfenstein game, but I probably will pick this up when I'm done with AC/SoW.

downzy Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 You can play the first level for free this weekend. I played it last night and thought it was a good start. I never played the first game from a couple of years ago (though I remember playing the original Wolfenstein on PC nearly over twenty five years ago), so the backstory of the sequel is a little lost on me. BTW, I finally broke down and bought an Xbox One S. Paid $229 CDN for it. I wanted the X, but for the little time I have to play video games it made little sense to pay nearly $500 more for a console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadSlash Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 This one was a huge step back from TNO and TOB. Lots of weird glitches etc that a powerhouse computer can muscle through, but even without the tech issues, the story was pretty weak. The DLC is a real letdown because it's in the same levels you already played the main game in, you are just playing as a different character!

To clarify, they are "unique" in the sense that you are doing different things, so it's not just seeing different arms for your avatar, but it's the same locations, like the film studio or the sewers. Instead of starting on the right side of the map and going left, you start on the left side and go right.. and you enter through like a trap door or some such. It's still super lame imo, and a lazy DLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadSlash Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 The first DLC dropped from this game and it's super short, about 2 hours. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 i read that wolfenstein has more tactical gameplay, like the MGS series, than doom which is more "go forward and kill everything in sight". in other words, a welcome change in pace, but still very much gameplay focused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Getting near the end of this one... I've enjoyed the storyline for the most part. It's very pulpy and over-the-top, but kind of what I expected. It's been a long time since I played a FPS so either I'm just terrible at it or the game is very difficult. I've been playing on the easiest setting and still getting smoked from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadSlash Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The second, and most recent DLC dropped last week, and it takes about 1 hour to complete! at least 2 of the 3 levels are cut and paste from past gameplay. They are really pooping the bed on the DLC :/ On 12/17/2017 at 6:19 AM, Oldest Goat said: ...hopefully all the DLC is included with the Switch version. If it isn't, I would NOT recommend getting the DLC. The 3rd installment would have to be an epic ass game to justify paying extra price.
