The checkpoint system isn't bad, I know what you mean about a couple of sections where you hear the radio and it seems like it should save, but you're still in the same encounter. I look at it like a boss fight, where reaching a certain point triggers a line of dialogue that signals the next phase, but the game doesn't save there

Protip (especially on the bridge): You can actually cheat and skip some sections by running and reaching the next checkpoint. I did it accidentally once on the bridge and after dying I was about to skip the whole previous encounter.

That bridge section in particular pissed me off, as I already cleared the first part of the battle, there were no enemies left before I reached the next point, and now I'll have to do it all over again. I really hate needless repetition in games.

I've used that method once in KZ2, and it was a bridge section as well, but this time I've avoided it so far. I managed to clear the trainyard, eventhough it was a pain in the ass.

Of course Anya is fucked up, she fucked a guy that she fed and bathed for twelve years.

Are we talking about after he came out of his vegetative state or before? Did I miss something? They only did it like twice on screen.

The game's DTS mix isn't very good, but the Dolby Digital mix is perfectly fine on all platforms. If you force your console to output Dolby Digital 5.1 via your audio output of choice (by deselecting every deselectable audio codec in the options aside from Dolby Digital 5.1), you will have a much better time. This can be done irrespective of your console's firmware version.

I haven't seen anyone mention a way to do this on PC, because the Dolby mix must be selected at the game level, and not post-converted by a sound card.

This is probably why I didn't encounter that audio problem. Mine is defaultly set to 5.1.

A small PSA:

Let me once again say that I am from Germany, so I could only buy the denazified version of the game.

So yesterday something strange happened to me. I tried to (unsuccessfully) get the Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition for a friend of mine, so I logged into Steam via VPN (the first time I did so in years).
As said I was unsuccessful in buying it because I couldn't even use my PayPal account due to conflicting areas, blabla.

Yet when I logged into my Steam account after turning on VPN, look what was smiling at me:

Seems like everyone who bought the censored version of Wolfenstein TNO is eligible for the uncensored version as well, IF you log into your Steam account from outside of Germany. The game will be added to your library as soon as you log in via VPN.

You will still need a VPN to download and play the game, though, (I recommend Hotspot Shield, powered by ads but it's free) but at least here's another method of getting the censored AND uncensored game through 100% legal means.

So, after beating the game, if you do chapter select you keep all of your perks? I did the

mission earlier to show the game to a friend and I had rockets

I want to attempt an Uber run but I assume the only way for it to count is by doing a new game and losing everything (which isn't a problem, but keeping perks would be cool)

There's a pinned thread on the official forums that actually encourage you to just do a new game through Chapters if you don't want to lose your collectables.

I find it funny that the reboot made an ending that could end the franchise.

If there is going to be a sequel, I wonder how they'll reveal it (Because you can't do Wolfenstein without BJ).

Any word on a possible update that can trim gigs off the install data?

Alright, my current attempt involves installing the entirety of it from download.
This'll take a while but let's see if this works.

Started off slow, but it is definitely picking up. Really enjoying myself now.



The graphics are horrid, but still having fun.

Finally I've beaten the Wolfenstein3D easter egg on Über yesterday, wohooo! Too bad you don't get any reward/achievement for that.

Throwing knives are goat.

actually its the other way round. wolf3d is not part of the wolfenstein lore anymore, while RTCW, wolf09 and TNO are all direct sequels with the same characters.

When did this happen? Does that mean

Because I'm pretty sure I read that every game so far is in direct continuity to each other.
I mean,

[pokeystaples]

Half day at work today so I'm taking the console up so my coworker can play Wolfy. What chapter would you suggest as a starting point? I was thinking Chapter 3?

Spoiler

Chainsaw

+ Kill Everyone! seems like a good way to show the game to someone who just wants to shoot shit and doesn't really care about story. He can go whole ass or stealth it and you get a good mix of enemy soldiers and

mechanical enemies.

I really enjoyed the "Oldschool" levels, so when attacking the compound and getting in again.

it gave me the RTCW feel that I really dig. I also enjoyed the

and the train sequence

 

[thenexus6]

I just started the mission on

Spoiler

the moon, apparently I get to walk on the surface

. This game is too cool! the 46/60 handgun and knives are awesome.I love sniping and getting head shots with my silenced pistol miles away. I don't even bother aiming down sight with it as its so accurate.

 

[Moff]

definitely

Spoiler

the moon, its the highlight of the game. so many hints at it before you actually go there. art design there is amazing, too, and lots of stealth passages, too. more passages on the surface would have been nice, though.

Platinumed the game last night on PS4.

1. Amazing gunplay, shotgun = heaven.
2. Decent story, very well presented.
3. Graphics are all over the place but overall the game looks great.
4. Collectibles were a little Annoying but nothing too bad.

Overall, I am glad some devs are taking a chance and giving us a very well put together single player only game. This game truly shows that can be done when everything is dedicated to the single player experience. Great job machine games, I look forward to your next title.

Agreed. I just hope their next title has more replayability. Because the unlockable modes aren't really worth it.

Yes, killing a nazi from afar feels great since you have to arch the throw for distance.

Choose chapter select instead of New Game and you're golden.

Just chapter select from the timeline you chose. Here is a tip though, the Collectibles it shows you missing in the chapter select screen are not the same as when you get in the game. They are not in the same order for whatever reason. Just FYI.

 

[The_Almighty_Swan]

Dam you guys have all sold me on picking this up....

You'll still have the ones you already got. I assume that the stuff you havent finished carry over, cant say for sure seeing as i got them first play through, but i'd highly assume they do.

 

[Shylock]

It's even greater when it arcs into their achilles tendon, killing them instantly.

But yes, I loved using the knife. Such a fun game to play.

Kinda sucked though when you want to hit open a create and it throws the knife instead and you cant find it any more afterwards.

This is probably why I didn't encounter that audio problem. Mine is defaultly set to 5.1.

Well Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 are not the same thing. The DTS mix is bad, the Dolby mix is good.

 

[SwiftDeath]

It's odd that of all the batshit crazy ridiculous parts of this game, the throwing knives which I absolutely love also somehow annoy me the most

Like if I throw a knife into a commanders leg, he just dies instantly without making a sound

Eh. The gameplay function of it is really fun though

 

[thenexus6]

I find it weird if I kill someone a nearby guard will find out say something like "what the f" or "huh" see his dead comrade but just continue as normal

I usually manage to throw one right into an enemy's buttcheek.

It's either ass or face.

 

[BloodMoney]

I burnt some trees last night, and in that mental state, Wolfenstein was fucking insane... almost had a quit playing due to the intensity. I knew the game was violent, but I REALLY noticed it last night.

best fps in a long while.

Alright, the install/update finally finished without a hitch.
The game then refused to launch.

With a hard reboot done, I've finally managed to reach the title screen. I hope this game is worth the effort and annoyances I've encountered.

Nazis are stupid.

I love poking my head out for a quick check on the commanders and see their "signal detected" turn into red for a split second every time. They must be freaking out seeing me like that.

 

[Tigress]

Ah, I don't get that luck. They seem to clue in in my game if they see a dead person. Which is where I am now (trying to stealth the moon station where the commanders are and last attempt managed to do it, waiting for a good shot of the commander, and he sees his dead comrade and gets all alert. Dumb me even was like, "What? He wasn't even looking this way and I haven't done anything... ooooh, he saw the dead person"

(yes, I have a bad habit of taking for granted AI doesn't notice dead bodies).

i was liking the game until

the mother fucking mech sequence. what the hell were they thinking? I've died like 20 times on this part. I can take these guys out with my god damn knife better than I can in that machine.

Call me stubborn, but I refuse to go back and finish the game as a result. It feels like a chore at this point

 

[Shylock]

Yeah the idea of throw if far away, swipe if close seems like a good idea but didn't quite work in practice. A few times in close quarter fights I'd end up throwing knives randomly.

You can set the difficulty to very easy until you're past that segment if you want :/

Spoiler

Is that the part at the end of escaping from the concentration camp

?

If so, I can't agree, I loved that part (and I found it decently easy, well I guess not easy but I was having so much fun that dieing didn't bug me. I mean I died a few times but I didn't find it overly frustrating. Then again, it's one of the times it has appropriate checkpoints where it doesn't make you start over from way earlier and re do a whole bunch of stuff to get to the part that is hard (I hate having to slog through the stuff I already was able to get past just to re do the part I keep dieing at). But hard or not, I just had fun blasting everyone with the mech! And figuring out the best way of getting through (cause I admit I did die a few times but I wasn't finding it frustrating, I found it fun. I'd love to play that section just for that part again).

Also, during the one scene I had issue with (mainly cause I was slogging through a long scene and only having trouble at the end), I just caved and put it on easy so I could just breeze past (and easy is truly easy. If I find it easy that's a good indication that most anyone who likes playing games can get by it). Have you tried that? Could be it's just that scene you don't like (I find a lot of games have some section I absolutely hate and find frustrating. I find that it's better to just cave and put the game on easy to get past if you can<- only works for games that let you change difficulty mid game though). And that usually one annoying scene isn't indicative that the rest is going to be un fun for you.

That was one of the easiest parts on Uber, probably because it is the empowering end of a level. If there are enemies far away, switch to bullets, then rockets for the bigger enemies. At the very end, if you smash the crates, you get armour back.

Kinda sucked though when you want to hit open a create and it throws the knife instead and you cant find it any more afterwards.

For looting, I'd switch to dual knives and get to work. No chance of throwing them accidentally, and they're super fast.

My first playthrough was on Uber. I died many, many times. However, i didnt die once on that part.

You're really exaggerating.
