Nah, I still liked it a lot. I did end up playing it on a lower difficulty because I found it kind of tough, but I'm more in it for the story/characters and just blasting away Nazis, so it wasn't a big deal to me.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood |OT| Les Louves Chassent en Meute

I liked it too. Oddly it was the story/characters I preferred in TNO, not the gameplay (except for stealth where I preferred bad-but-easy stealth to bad-and-hard stealth). Clearly a lot of people did like it, and critics in particular, but it has one of the worst reputations for a game I've ever seen on era.
Oh that's disappointing. Guess I'll have to go for a physical release then.
Or switch the store, but it's not that great after announcing that the uncensored version is officially possible in Germany.
How weird, considering the buddy code for the international version should work with the german stores...
They didn't think it would sell at 60 so they are starting at 30. They have the luxury of selling it at a lower price because it had a smaller dev cycle (and probably fewer people as well), meaning they don't have to recoup as much money
I really liked TNC, but it didn't jump over the extremely high bar TNO has set. I still don't get the hate for it.
Will there be a PC performance thread, by any chance? Also, if I get the Deluxe Edition on Steam, is the extra copy a full key/gift copy or does my friend have to download a special client like EA did it with No Way Out?
I enjoyed it, for the most part. Some obvious difficulty spikes[0] that shouldn't have been there, and I never went back and ran those assassination missions or anything.
[0] Someone I know who played the PS4 version pretty much gave up at 'courtroom' due to the difficulty spike, so that was a real problem.
Day 1 for me...and I''m doing the crazy thing and picking it up for the Switch. I just want a decent shooter to play on the go and looks like the timng is great.
Crap, spoilers in that trophy list, careful people. I am digging what I am seeing though, some good insight into collectibles and some other stuff.
Can't wait to play this with a friend, pre-ordered the PC version with a steelbook.
Other games might wait, but this one cannot, the message to the devs must be loud and clear - we want more Wolfenstein.

I loved TNO, I liked TNC. I'm waiting on reviews before I grab this one, not that I expect it to be bad, I just want to make sure that Machine Games still has "it".
In case anyone is wondering, I emailed Bethesda support to ask about upgrading to deluxe from the base version (if you got it from the RTX promo specifically) and they replied that no, it will not be possible. Bummer, but can't complain since the game was free anyway. Still super excited and maybe the $30 price tag will help me convince a friend or two to pick it up.
I really hope this turns out well because me and my bro are planning on playing through the story in co op. The trailer looked great but wtf is up with the lack of marketing? It's almost like they want this one to fail, which of course isn't the case but seriously wtf?
At least the Bethesda Netherlands Facebook page is posting about it though.

Was there much marketing for the previous games? I don't have cable so I don't know. But also this is a "spin-off" side story game. They aren't going to put as much behind that than a full-fledged game.
What about TOB?
Hmm I do recall some marketing for Wolfenstein 1 and 2 yeah.
On the other hand, Bethesda barely marketed Prey and I'm not sure about Dishonored 1 and 2 either.
Häh? I don't get it. I thought the German version would be uncensored. Why is there a need for two digital versions in the store?
Super neat OT! Thank you AgentStrange and vestan
I'll preload today! More Wolfenstein is always goood

I'm in the same boat. I played all other Wolfensteins on PS4 due to being in Germany. But thinking about the noise my Pro makes during the summer I'd much rather play Handheld sitting on my balcony.
I played that but apparently it didn't leave much of an impression as I forgot I played it and can't recall much except the last boss which I guess was ok as far as FPS bosses go.
Yeah that courtroom was fucking brutal. It took me almost 20 attempts on normal difficulty. Yeah if those rpg elements like health bars and level gating ruin the feel of shooting nazis in wolfenstein by making them bullet sponges due to an arbitrary number, then im out. That shit ruined far cry and its the reason shooting in the division sucks

Amazing work on the OT. You sold me on the game. Especially the info that Arkane was involved. Would love some more Dishonored. Preordered on Steam.
And thanks for introducing me to Carpenter Brut. I just found the sound track to my next Starfinder session.

Ironically enough, it was when i stopped moving that i was more successful, which completley contradicted the way i played the rest of that game
Really looking forward to this, everything i've heard seems to indicate that they fixed most of the issues I had with encounter design and mechanics from TNC.
No splitscreen sadly :(
Pretty sure Deathshead was introduced even before 09, in RTCW
Because they worked on the censored version for a very long time and the official approval to publish the uncensored version came in late / last minute. They don't have a combination (uncensored and translated) ready in time. So they are releasing the game on disc cut and uncut in Germany, with the uncut version only available from selected sellers (like amazon). Unfortunately on Xbox (don't know about Playstation) they can't offer 2 different version of one game for one country. So they decided to publish the translated cut version in Germany in the Xbox store.
TNC was one of my favorite games in a year stacked full of amazing games. Its gameplay had some serious faults, but damn if it wasn't ambitious as hell in story.
Well I got TNC on launch day for 30 bucks.
But I expect it's got lower production values and also it has microtransactions
I too got curious to see it and found this. Having gone through about 75% of Wolf II on Switch, this looks....better somehow? Maybe it's because it's a smaller game but I'm really impressed by it.
Damn. Bethesda should be too but it's not active for me yet. Anyone with a bethesda key able to pre-load?
Ah. Well I never played RTCW so I missed that. Interesting.
Okay it's not just me lol. Hope this doesn't happen Thursday too.
