Please tell me you can unlock ("nightmare" spoilers)
as a standalone game mode.
Pleeeeease?

Pleeeeease?
That's what I've been doing. Guess I'll keep at it.
Gotcha. When you die the entire arsenal behind that main blast shield refills itself on the upper level. Before going down go the the arsenal and get everything. Then get as many Grenades as possible and refill your Arc Gun/Cutter. Before I jumped down I would get dual rocket launchers ready as my alternate weapon and have my arc gun as my main (fully upgraded with scope of course). Once you hit him with the arc gun/ cutter it will stun him. I then threw all my grenades at him and finished with dual rocket launchers. If it doesnt kill him it will certainly weaken him. Make sure and do it fast. Don't give that fucker time to breathe!!!
Edit: Also,
the boxes above are littered with armor. Get that shit and as I'm sure you've figured out, the more you hurt him the more the room catches on fire so look out for that.
Sorry, I think it's only an Easter Egg.

Hard, yeah mmmmkay.
On Uber he tanked every rocket I had, a full LKW and marksman charge, and all my nades before finally going down to like four full shotgun magazines. That fight is a workout.

Hey guys should I get this game? I was watching the streaming and looks fun
Do you like Arcade style, hectic corridor shooters with air tight controls, big guns, and bigger enemies? Add all that to a well paced level structure and great voice acting/cinematic cut scenes and you have Wolfenstein TNO. If all that sounds good... then yeah... you should check it out.
I'm about an hour in.
I do not like the moral choice presented, and I let myself die 5 times in protest, and closed the game. Not sure if I want to continue. 
I didn't mind it as much in Bioshock, because it seemed like it was forced upon you each time (1+2, and infinity)
Friends that are playing it are telling me to keep going. But I'm not sure, I might just play other stuff in my backlog.

I would not call ammo hunting tedious. I'ts an integral part of the genre.
It's like calling tedious shooting people in fps, why the bastards don't go down by themselves ?
Ha, nice! But I do get what he's saying. Maybe if they approached it the way borderlands did it would be better. In borderlands you held down the pickup button and collected all the nearby loot which saved you from having to spam the pickup button over and over again.

No problem dude! Glad you're enjoying it!

Side note: That one battle in the U boat kicked my ass. I'm talking 10+ deaths before I succeeded. The Chapter 6 end battle was small potatoes compared to that.

Me too, seems to be the most viable way. I had enough rockets to kill him. I think its easiest to just move from left to right at the back of the room with the walls. You can't really run into fire that way.
It's a video game.I'm about an hour in.

I agree. I wish there was some kind of battle arena with a boss fight every 5 or 10 rounds or something.

If that part of the game is bothering you then this game is probably going to be too much for you to handle.

I see. I know where it is. I failed that puzzle so its the one upgrade I don't have. Will replay 11 asap.

Dunno. Having to pick up ammo boxes individually gives you that moment: "yeah i was dry of shotgun rounds for the last 15 minutes, now i can use them both again !!!"
I mean, that way you are more aware of everything you pick up.

Also hearing horror stories about the final boss prepared me too well.
It was pretty easy for me, o think I expected a much tougher fight based on people's expectations.

I found the gunplay quite fun tbh. but I think i'll just move on to something else.

Its not a hard fight per se. Its just on par with old school FPS.
Ha, I usually say "OH SHIT FUCK I NEEDS MORE BULLETS!!! Damn these human hands I wish I could pick them up with telekinesis or osmosis!"
Edit:
Collectibles and secret doors should be spotted and picked up/opened individually.

Can someone please tell me if I'm doing something wrong with my sound setup, or if the game really does just have really terrible audio quality?
A lot of effects in the game sound like they're completely compressed on the high end, similar to a bad MP3 encode. It sort of sounds like what happens when you have your TV and speakers outputting at the same time - effects layering to sound all tinny and flat, like they were recorded underwater. My TV's speakers are off, though, and other games sound totally fine.
Is this just something I'm going to have to put up with? I just don't understand why the audio sounds so bad when they had 50GB to work with.

I doubt Watch Dogs will be better than Wolfenstein, have heard typical Ubisoft design complaints from people who've played it.
Up to Chapter 11, just met the shotgun shrapnel dudes haha motherfuckers!
This is a GOTY contender for sure in my eyes. I especially love all the incidental dialogue, there's so much you can miss. The chat between Bubi and Frau Engel over why she isn't doing the typical
babymaker woman
If you don't sleep in chapter 9, you miss out on 2 brilliant cutscenes with Tekla (weird and hilarious) and J (poignant and hilarious). Like when you're in the sewers for the welding thing, if you don't come up for air midway you miss out on two German citizens (or Nazis?) talking about Gibraltar Bridge (wow, found out this is a real thing not yet done) and how Africa is a great place for big game hunting. Or how a German citizen tries to rat out a boy who likes to put on lipstick to a Nazi guard.

pip pip cheerio you slags!
I picked
wyatt
I owed him from saving me from the panzerhund, I liked ferg more though
Yup so far this is the best game of the year.
The sound mixing and 3D positional audio is completely flat/broken (at least for me on PC)

On Chapter 10 now. Need to pop in the thread and say it again...
What a damn good game.
Love everything about it.
My one and only critique would be I do wish they took a different route with the first hour or so. It really does not give people a good indication at all as to what to expect.
So while it is a testament to the old adage patience is a virtue, I do fear they may lose some people who do not have patience. Oh well, it is their loss at the end of the day.
Brilliant game. Wolfenstein is back. Kudos to MachineGames. Truly and sincerely my hats off to that team.
I actually think the current 78 metascore on metacritic is an absolute travesty.

Just finished the game.
The game is great
Congratulations to Machine games.
The game is great
but the last 2 chapters are JUST about corridor shooting. You literally just go from room to room gunshooting anything that passes by, that's pretty lame. The moon chapter could be so much more and it was just... corridor shooting. Not even a lot of stuff happens, it's just you going from point A to point B. The ending chapter is pretty boring too, but the ending was nice. The narrative is amazing and this could be a stellar game, but it turned out as only "great".
Congratulations to Machine games.
I think the reason for the slower liner tutorial in this game is to not turn off all new gamers who got used to completely different FPS style (COD/BF) in the last generation. Just look at some lets play, some poor souls try to play this as COD.
as for the metacritic.. it's indeed sad but this is what we get from reviewers these days, while other tired boring shooters sequels that do nothing new, shorter and full of flaws get higher scores. it's better to just forget about metascores.
It's certainly the best one that I've played.
I'm bugged by the suicide car. I never met the guy before. It just sort of happens. Felt like they wanted it to have impact, but all I got was a dude saying "I'm not doing this again, I'm stressed as balls," then suicide.
Regarding that second-to-last fight,
I was kinda sad Wyatt didn't become my awesome robot buddy who beat Nazis to a pulp. We could have been indestructibros

Why? It's a thing that could happen to you in real life. You could be attacking a bad guy base, get caught, and have to live with the consequences of something horrible happening. Not everything's going to go your way--you aren't the only human being alive capable of making choices. Other people do too, and the sooner you learn that, the better.
I'm having a hard time thinking of any game that I've played or heard of that has been better than Wolfenstein in a good 2-3 years. Shadow Warrior's legitimately the only game that I think can compete with it.
The first chapter is a training level.
One that drags on for too long.
Seriously, chapter 1 is twice as long as most chapters.
How were you able to stabilize performance? I would love to know...

Even so, could have been much better than it was. Gave horrible first impression.
Set max ppf to 16, shadows 2048, compress enabled, reflections medium. Rest of the stuff is enabled and high. My 280X handles this in 1080p/60, catalyst 14.4
The game is still bizzare technically, but I guess it is just AMD not liking that openGL engine.
It makes no difference which you pick.I'm about an hour in.

For me Chapter 1 wasn't horrible. The first half was mediocre, but I kind of enjoyed the second half. The setting was Wolfenstein and there were some good shootouts.
Yep can't believe nobody has pinched this.

Oh man, this game is so great! A very fun, old-school shooter with so much stuff to discover in the levels, many secrets and so many lovely little details.
As someone who speaks German it's even better because I can read and understand everything. Those voice actors are all top notch. Especially B.J.'s German is hilarious!
I think you miss a lot when you don't understand German. Sure, all the important stuff is subtitled and/or translated. But so little nice details like propaganda posters on the walls or warning signs in German are not translated.
I also really like those German lines on the loading screens. Although they're sick Nazi-like paroles, they are very atmospheric nonetheless.

Yes and yes. It makes me cringe when I think about how many people have passed on this game due to the Metacritic score. Machine Games delivered a great game and deserves better.
