Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus |OT| Amerika ist wieder großartig
- Thread starter AgentStrange
- Start date
Good, not great, intro so far. Still:
Don't know why, but never dug this type of environment, not even in the first game, so starting with it is... eh. Curious to see how the game continues to develop.
I'm playing on one of the harder available difficulties, and the game is quite hard from the get-go. Can't even imagine trying the "Mein Leben" level any time this decade.
stuck on the submarine and just started roaming Section F.

The team is made up of Ex-Riddick (and The Darkness) developers. It has a really high FPS pedigree.
Haven't played TNC yet, but the problem with TNO'S variety was that every level looked the same because everything was gray. That game had practically no art design.
I'm hoping this one has more color
No chapter select? I havent been scouring maps super thoroughly for secrets because I assumed there was one that I could go back later for stuff. lol

My collector's edition order with Best Buy has been delayed. They say I'll at least get it by Nov. 26th. Good thing I cracked and bought it off CDkeys last night I guess.
I tried waiting out for the X before getting this game, but I could not wait so I am about to get stuck into the game on my PS4, will post my impressions later on.
Between that and Mein Liebe difficulty being permadeath, no save/checkpoints, and required for a Platinum/100% (if you care about that), this is going to be a tough game to 100%.
You have restart the whole game on mein liben or just that level?
Not to be an asshole, but my CE from amazon showed up a day early.
This is why amazon's burying all other retailers.
Certain locations in this game are reminding me of Resistance 3 and that is not a bad thing at all. Such an underrated FPS.
Not sure if this is from playing at a higher difficulty but does BJ always have only 50 health? I'm a good few hours in (At the
) and it seems like it's not going away.

I think the reason for that is that Wolf II currently runs exclusively on the Vulkan API and the Steam Overlay has problems with that, afaik. I also have the same issue, so I use Afterburner for screenshots.
Case in point, MSI Afterburner shows Vulkan as the API and there is no option in the game whatsoever to change it. Don't know about a potential possibility to change it in the ini/cfg.

Along with chapter select, would be nice if they patched in new game plus, so we could replay through the alternate route while getting the rest of the collectibles.
That and keeping BJ at max strength. I know him being weak at the start is needed for story reasons but after a few chapters it kinda started annoying me.
This is so many levels of wrong...
TNO has an unmistakable dystopian art direction, that which coupled with Nazi German iconography which is pretty sleek itself is absolutely engrossing.
You're equating a desaturated visual style with poor art direction which is a much more broad term. Colour vibrancy is merely one of the areas that make up are direction.
With your criteria you could argue that games like Limbo, Inside and Killzone had "practically no art design".
All they do is reveal Points of Interest on the map right? Should happen automatically when you pick them up.
Agreed. I always thought the lack of colour was intentional. The Nazis won the war. They'd flattened housing in London to build the London Nautica. Berlin is concrete building after concrete building. The surroundings at the prison camp are so bleak it feels like the world is dying. The Nazis had sucked all the colour out of the world.
I had a LOT of issues with alt-tab (I wish I had a second monitor ;_;) and no matter if I selected Borderless Window or Fullscreen, it never was smooth and I got a few BSOD. Also the V-sync wasn't working for me at all: either had a ton of tearing or the game would lock up.
I ended up using Borderless Gaming for the first tme in a long time since most games have been launching with functional Borderless Window modes and it's worked really well. Tearing is gone, I can alt-tab super fluidly and the nvidia hook for recording/screenshots is even working (even though it is technically capturing "Desktop" now). It's made the game a lot more enjoyable for me on PC.
Are we sure that it isn't unlocked when you beat the game?
If not I believe Dishonored 2 added chapter select in a later patch so there is some precedent for Bethesda to add that later.
Killing Commanders. You can pick the codes up off of their bodies.
Great job on the Op! Gunna pick this up as soon as I get paid lol.
Is there a good recap video of the previous game and its DLC? I never finished the campaign of the first game and tried going back but theres just too much out atm and between work and school I just dont have time.
Edit: Found this one:
Also, Anyone know if Nvidia Geforce Experiance will auto detect the best settings for the PC version?

I wish the subtitles were bigger with a higher contrast color. It can be hard to read guard dialogue sometimes.
Unlocked early and played last night for a little over 3 hours and I can't stop thinking about certain moments. The first hour or so was fucking incredible.
my thoughts exactly.
try switching to either borderless windowed or borderless fullscreen, same thing happened to me when I set to 1440p.

I stopped playing the last one purely because of this feature. Wow, this is MASSIVE change. Seems like they learned a thing or two from Doom.
Absolutely. "Desaturated palette = poor art" is a bad perception of art in general. I get that some people prefer vibrant colors, but it's not the only way to go about it. In Wolfenstein the design of everything mechanical alone deserves big props.
I don't know why because I've never had this with literally any game ever, even in VR, but I am getting such bad motion sickness when I play this. I don't know whether there is some sort of subtle microstutter or something that is causing it, or that there is something else going on, but I feel genuinely nauseated when playing it. So odd, never experienced motion sickness in any form before this, gaming or otherwise
I getcha, thanks for clearing that up
I mean the way they visualize the Nazi takeover of America was effective, but the actual levels themselves were to dull for me
And yes Killzone has no art design : p
