IMO it doesn't work. They should have defaulted back to 100 health as soon as he put on the super suit.
Also the game would still be difficult if they even made that change.

I don't understand the 50 health complaint. You have double armour? It's effectively 250 health versus 200?
Bit the bullet and put the difficulty down a notch. The real draw is the story and characters, so I don't mind too much, but I don't remember having to do it for TNO or TOB.
I think what's lacking in the commander combat scenarios is a better way to scope out your surroundings to try and plan a path of attack. There's been a couple of times where I've been able to find a catwalk or some high ground to get a better idea of what I'm facing, but a lot of times, it feels like trial and error, where it's just figuring out where people are by running into them, dying, and then looking for other paths.

The story is so nonsensical and I'm absolutely loving it hahaha
As crazy and OTT as it gets, the characters really manage to sell the story.

Are you guys missing that the power armor grants you 200 armor instead of 100? I don't see how it's a problem at all, I think it's pretty clever and cool and evens itself out. You have a total of 250 instead of 200, so what's the problem exactly?
Out of curiosity, are the people having trouble with the difficulty all playing with controllers? It's been a while since this sort of thing came up, and Doom seemed to sidestep it.
Power armor would've been better if it regenerated like 50/100 armor or something. As is, power armor doesn't really feel all that powerful.
I really fucking hate YouTube. Just had a cutscene compilation with a super spoilery thumbnail hit my dash. This is why we can't have nice things.
I am. Currently stuck on
the courthouse
I just arrived in
and there seems to be a sound bug.
The whole game is muted all of a sudden. I tried reloading but there's still no sound.
Playing on PS4 pro. Did anybody else have this problem?
P.S.: First post here, yay. :)
Edit: Ok, restarting ps4 fixed it.

It still doesn't help solve the difficulty problem, especially the areas where armor is either (visibly) nowhere to be found.
No matter what the design choice was with BJ's health, it's just going to be derailed with the fact that the game has weird difficulty spikes.
I'm on keyboard and mouse, and jumped from the third difficulty setting to the second. Played TNO on KB+M as well, and just don't recall dying so frequently.
Yeah, and the 200 armor makes up for the lack of health, along with the ability to overcharge your health.
That one was a real bitch to get through. Took multiple tries for me. Finally managed to finish it, was incredibly satisfying.
Health is easier to come by in large quantities due to the overcharge mechanic (helmets and other small armour items seem to give +3/+4 in TNC, which is basically nothing), so a baseline of 100 in both is easier to maintain than 50 and 200. Besides, TNO had health or armour upgrades depending on the timeline, so it evens out in the end anyway.
I do wonder how they'll deal with some of the visibility and control issues in the Switch version. I can't imagine the game being much fun as is in Handheld mode given the extra compromises required.
is there any place on the boat to stock up on grenades? In the shoot range/course area there are boxes for ammo but I don't see grenades :(. Be nice to stock up before each Enigma mission thing.
Thus, you can pick up more armor, but that doesn't change the state of his body
Just finished it. Really good game IMO, you can tell a ton of effort was put in for every little detail.
Had some glaring flaws though. Definitely a lot harder than it should've been. I beat it on Bring em on and BJ died way too fast. The lack of response to you taking damage was poor too, I'd have no idea I was near death 99% of the time I went down. Also, those robotic enemies were all bad and unfair IMO. Their incredibly fast paced movements and ability to knock you down rapidly was a huge pain.
Nonetheless still thoroughly enjoyed the game

First time I played The New Order was on Death Incarnate and with a controller (I was getting low frames, and its easier to "deal" with lower framerates using a controller so I did)...and I really didn't like it. Put it down for 6 months, came back after performance patches fixed all of the problems with my gpu and tried it on keyboard and it was night and day.
It just feels instinctual to stand mostly still and ADS on a controller, so that's mostly what I did, it wasn't until trying KBM that I realized the game is all about staying in motion and hipfiring, it was then that I truly fell in love with the game. Not trying to be elitist or anything, but it does feel like playing two different games, in TNO's case anyway.
Do we know if the PS4 Pro uses FP16 like on PC?
Do we know what settings the PS4 Pro uses compared to PC?
From this video we can see all versions look identical to PC maxed out but the only thing that differs is the resolution.
How good is the 1440p resolution on PS4 Pro and how close it is to PC version?

I don't remember being so active in TNO. But in 2 I run around like a madman. Made much easier with a keyboard and mouse. The more open environments also assist with this. TNO was more closed off in comparison.
Yeah, the collectible markers are trash. They don't appear half the time, forcing you to have to find them on your own. There's only one complete guide up on the internet that I've seen and it's text only, very poor text at that. But it got the job done for me in order to find the last few I needed.
From what I remember of TNO, it did a better job of scaling the encounter design with BJ's arsenal and potential Perk upgrades as the game went on. The beginning half was mostly normal Nazi Grunts, dogs, and Commanders in large, but manageable, numbers. The much-maligned "bullet sponge" Armored mofos started coming out later, but BJ has all sorts of powerful shit to kill them with by that point in the game.
Here in TNC, I feel like they start introducing tougher enemies well ahead of BJ's power curve. There have been far more of these "David vs Goliath" situations, where I'm trying to fend off multiple of these charging armored guys with (relatively) wimpy dual-wielded SMG/AR peashooters, because it's all I have.
It's been 2 years since I last played TNO, so my memory could be off on how that game was structured, but TNC is certainly the more difficult game of the two for reasons I'm still trying to figure out. I'm not nearly as down on the gameplay of TNC as some others here, but it's definitely different. My favorite parts of TNO were mowing down all the cannon fodder Nazis and TNC has significantly less cannon fodder, but the combat is still mostly enjoyable.

Alright, I found it. It was a grate on the opposite wall. Thanks again. Got to another spot that stumped me for awhile after that but I figured it out.
I feel like there are a shitload more environmental ways to kill these guys though. Almost every combat scenario has a few explosive tanks you can lure them into, I don't remember that many explosives littered through the levels in TNO.
Its not. I'm playing on the hardest difficulty allowed for a first play through and I die all the time from the game giving no player damage feedback.
Also your viewing distance is seriously screwed up where guys can be shooting at you from a distance that you can't even see and because Iron Sights are all but pointless you are at a serious disadvantage.
I find the difficulty just right. The big thing in New Colossus is to move all the time while you're dealing with enemies. If you "stop and shoot" you ll get mowed down. Dual wield is very effective but also pretty dangerous because of the reload time alone ... until you get the shotgun that is
Oh yeah AI also seems to have a knack for knowing where you are at almost all times, so just camp a door entrance and you'll be fine. Or a corner without too many entrances

The only reason to use ADS is because there's a Perk that increases your damage while aiming down sights. Like TNO, there isn't an actual hip-fire penalty. The Lean button on L1 should getting much more use than the ADS button on L2.
The crosshair also changes Red when over an enemy, so it's not really a big deal to engage long-distance targets from the hip. Even if they're extremely far away and blended into the environment, you can still kinda wave your crosshair around their muzzle flash until it turns red.
I played New Order, Old Blood, and now this with a controller. I played TNO and TOB on Uber just a couple months ago and actually found the games to be a little on the easy side with only a few really challenging encounters. TNC I'm playing on Death Incarnate for my first playthrough and I'm DEFINITELY dying way faster than I was on Uber. I don't really feel like there's any problems with the aiming though. It's more hit feedback problem and my armor being made of wet tissue paper.
For me, I've not had any issues with the difficulty or 50 health.
I'm playing on 'Bring 'em on!' And for the most part I've found it just the right side of challenging, I've died a hell of a lot, sure, but it has never really felt unfair to me or hard enough for me to drop the difficulty down.
At the start of the game I was using stealth a lot but as I've gone on I mostly just go loud with the dual-shotguns from the get-go. As long as you treat the combat like DOOM, keep moving at all times, keep picking up health and armour then you won't have many problems. (Playing with an XB1 controller on PC).
As for the 50 health, I think its masterful how they tied that in with the narrative, and as you get double armour I never found it a hindrance personally.

What a finale.
I can't wait for the next game, but in the meantime I'm gonna play Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolf '09.
Being able to kill Engel on live television is such an amazingly cathartic moment in a game loaded to the brim with catharsis. And now the Kreisau Circle has a badass airship!

Well on harder difficulties moving around gets quite tough especially in open spaces. Every corner is filled with enemies armed with hitscan weapons so you can't just avoid projectiles like in Doom and you don't have extra abilities as in Crysis. I'm playing with m + kb on hard and it is usually easy to fool AI with corners and doorways like that but it isn't really much fun.
Well, I finished the game last night, easiest difficulty. I was more keen on exploring, enjoying the story and destroying Nazis than being challenged lol.
Took me about 10 and a half hours. Loved every minute of it!

This really rubs me the wrong way because TNO and TOB's platinums were fun and doable. This is just bullshit for the sake of it.
Is there any way to upgrade your contraption beyond that one extra perk that you can level up?
if you re out in an open space you re just asking to die at that point, its really not the game to do that in
