You don't have to shoot the dog. I aimed up and to the right and the father chastised me for being weak and shot the dog, anyway. :(
That and the part after destroying the radio in the sub were my hardest bits so far, by far.
I was really ready to love this game, but... I just can't. There's too many things that bug me out.
Firstly, my PS4 pro is in constant turbine mode. It's literally so loud I can't hear the dialogue without playing with headphones and high volume. No other game has been even close to this. Absolutely unacceptable. I'd love to see a low detail 1080p mode so my console wouldn't sound like it's about to fly out of the window. Oh well, at least the game looks absolutely amazing.
Sound mix/design is ONCE AGAIN messed up. Guns sound weak, dialogue is too quiet, cut scenes are on different volume level than rest of the game etc. I have a high end hifi system and for some reason Bethesda/id tech games always sound lackluster.
Gunplay is fun and feels great, but frustrating gamepay mechanics (too accurate and deadly enemies, too low health, not knowng when I'm hit) make it hard to enjoy it.
Somehow it feels this game doesn't know what it wants to be, or at least fails to signal how it's meant to be played. It's no Doom, thats for sure. :/

I noticed on PS4 tonight that the default audio settings have dialogue at 50% while music and game sounds are at 100%. Definitely adjust those. The music gets VERY loud sometimes. I'd prefer to hear the dialogue over ambient noise as well. (I adjusted the settings as I was getting off for the night, so I don't know how much it'll change yet.)
Anyone know what the resolution of the regular Xbox One version is or whether it uses dynamic res like the last one?
That opening was stellar. Man idTech 6 is really so good. Machinegames really went into this game, like this game clearly had a a much higher budget around it. Like the little animation details I've seen in 1.5 hours is insane.
Also anyone who hasn't, try slowly climbing up the ladder. The animation plays slowly and naturally.
So far machine games might have created my favorite FPS of the gen.

Loving the game so far. Love the action and stealth but man is BJ keeping me down with the things he says to himself. Got me all up in my emotions!
5 hours in game, this is up there as one the best FPS campaigns ever.
This is in the running with Titanfall 2 as my favorite single player FPS this gen.

This game is so goddamn good. I love it. I love the story, I love the characters. Sigrunds and Sets interaction in the ship is fucking fantastic and I had a smile the whole time.
I think the problem is that the game adjust your "eyes" because of the bright muzzle flash while you are shooting in dark rooms. Which makes the room become even darker until you stop shooting for a while and the room becomes brighter again. I have only gone through the opening mission so far, but it was extremely hard keeping track of what you were shooting in dark areas because of that.
Game has a really strong opening but I'm getting extremely anxious about the PSPro fan going into overdrive on all these new games. I'm scared sometimes to play for long sessions. I can handle the occasional fan frenzy though when I pause Horizon Zero Dawn on the map screen or go to the Nioh blacksmith (which seems framerate related somehow), but this is different. Hopefully something can be done about it either software or hardware related. Pretty interesting to see if the X-version has the same problems or if that one is more silent.
On topic though, we need a Blitzmensch cartoon. Studio MDHR get on it!

I'm having a really hard time looking down the gun sights and consistently hitting guys where I want. I feel like so much of the view is covered up by your weapon. Any of you guys dealing with this
I've always felt that TNO and now II aren't meant to be played using ADS unless there's a scope. It definitely feels mega hard to see guys when you are aiming down sights. Basically everything is iron sights and those are useless. I don't know if there are any penalties to not aiming down the sights, it doesn't feel like there are.
I honestly think this is a game you have to play shooting from the hip. I never played the last Wolfenstein but yeah. I am not using the iron sights.
Game is good. Think the insane hype doesn't do it any favors though. It has its flaws.
I was wondering how they were going to top the
from the first two games and LOL
I was crying with laughter
nightmare! stage segments
Those cheeky devs put the entirety of Wolf3D in the game in universe as Wolfstone, the game where you play as a heroic nazi that grousomely murders the Kreisau Circle members. The best part is that out of everyone thats played it, blasko him self had the second lowest score.
I was crying with laughter
I'm right in the middle (?) of the campaign and I must say, even after stellar TNO I'm über pleased with the narrative. The sheer speed, talent and focus in tonal shifting from Iron Sky to Schindler's List is fantastic. The story in TNC is even more weird, humane and lovely than it was in TNO. Gameplay is perfectly fine also, but my god, some scenes and themes here are totally freaking bananas.
i feel the same way too. Like the example i gave a few post up.
I've had a weird bug where sometimes I'm fighting one of the armored / ubersoldiers and my bullets seem to go right through them. Very weird.
I'm satisfied so far, but if I'd be lying if I said I said this was acing The New Order. As I suspected, America is just a nowhere near as interest as a setting for me personally as Europe, even Nazi occupied America. The states are so overdone in as a setting in video game I find it hard to muster interest in the location. But more of note, I'm getting tired of the continuous enter area, two commanders ages away, hunt for them in sprawling setting design. I don't remember The New Order being this on the nose and repetitive with this trope and I'm already bored of it, feeling its predecessor did a far more balanced pacing of commander areas versus straight up action and exploration. There's still a lot of the game to go and I'm very early, but yeah. Satisfied, but not blown away. The opening was strong, thankfully.
Oh and also; either the game is bugged or the choice to have body awareness and associated assets has resulted in some textures looking frankly godawful compared to both The New Order and The Old Blood, both of which had their own texture issues. In particular the main assault rifle with the scope upgrade. Whereas in both TNO and TOB number and logo decals were clean and visible, here they're a tragic blurry mess. Like just fucking awful. What I assume is supposed to be logo branding on the scope is literally a big white smudge of shit, whereas the Nazi craftmanship branding was clear as day on the TOB's scope.
It's not a major issue, but sticks out like a sore thumb giving I finished TNC's predecessors again quite recently.

Been playing for maybe fifteen minuites so far and i have laughed more times than i thought i would this early.
So funny!
Just the concept of rolling around in a wheelchair on board a u-boat shooting nazis. But the nazi during the first cut-scene who tip-toes right into the electric trap takes the cake.
I'm 8 hours in and somewhere in the middle of the Story Campaigh.
The start of this game is strong as hell. As well the first actual level and its location is so messed up. Plus so far every time the soundtrack starts to kick in I want to duel-wield and kill every Nazi In sight. Though being on the 3rd highest difficulty makes that not work out too well.
As well I usually don't do it but I've been trying to read every bit of story pieces because how interesting it is. Especially the info of what's going on the American side as the war continued to look worse and worse.

It's crazy how many collectibles there are. Not sure if I'm gonna read them all through to the end of the game, they kinda mess with the flow and some feel insignificant.
Not many games can pull off humor. This one does it pretty well :)
Thanks
People have been spreading some crap around lately
