this game really sucks

[Yawnsalot]

And yet I see sometimes people saying that TNC is worse... nothing in this series is worse than YB. For me the worst things are the voiceacting, AI, level design, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ piece of ♥♥♥♥ sewer levels, and enemy types and levels, level-scaling, character perks system, trashy useless ugly idiotic cosmetics and skins, difficulty system only changing some numbers not the AI, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worst ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ armor/ammo types mechanic, mutually exclusive weapon modifications (because that's why we can't have nice things), infinite drones spamming infinite rockets at you,

and the absolute worst ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ disgrace to this game and the whole series: J****s

i found this game unplayable and i agree with you in everything you said.

could not figure how to save game progress. only saved experience gained by characters

[Yawnsalot]

This game doesn't have any checkpoints before completing the whole first mission. Only after you play for at least an hour and get to catacombs you can leave the game. From there game will save every time you eneter a new location/finish a story mission.

Same, talk about a huge disappointment after playing the other games.

How to ruin a renewed franchise with feminism... another piece woke propaganda...

We're enjoying this quite a bit. It's one of the best coop games I've played in a while, and unlike most games you actually have to work together to progress vs everyone running around doing whatever (like Left 4 Dead) & the team looses.

We're playing (basically) LAN coop & bought this to play together.

Methinks Young Blood Rocks! Level up above 60+ and be enthralled with your weapons' power - I especially enjoy the Dieselwerkz weapons (DL grenade launcher (key 6) and the DL Shotgun (key 5, 5, ... )).

Let me be clear, I've played Youngblood for over 100h, I have a lvl 180 character and played it mostly alone. I know that a playing with a friend is much better and makes up for the game's flaws, but from my experience I've found this game extremly unpolished and I have reasons to believe that it wasn't playtested at all.

I played it for so long because even with all it's flaws it's a nice singleplayer shooter in concept and I still had some fun with all the weapons this game offers: from going in double SMGs blazing to stealthing around the battlefield planting deadly surprises on enemies.

And if there was only one thing I could hate YB for, it'd be enemy spawning mechanics. All previous games had a fixed number of enemies. Every time Kommandants set off an alarm and called for reinforcements more enemies entered the level from a place that actually made sense and never spawned in your sight. In YB however, they can spawn on top of you. Really. You can clear all of the enemies but one in the whole city section, kill all Kommandants and if you make a noise that is heard by that last enemy ALL OF THE REINFORCEMENTS ASSIGNED TO THIS SECTION WILL SPAWN. I hate stealth clearing a whole building and then screwing something up by the entrance only to be greeted by 20 nazis running out of the building I just swiped clean or them spawning right behind my back.

Trying to stealth stickybomb to the face everyone in a zone is equal parts fun and frustration.

On the one hand you can be standing out in the open, broad daylight, in full view of your target while you drop grenades onto them and they won't see a thing. And then in the next room you'll take half a step, fully cloaked, out of sight of everyone and one of them will heat-seek in on your location even if you move away a little, or just sense you by proximity as you invisibly crawl past behind them.

Pretty much the gameplay in a nutshell though, as you say it feels like it wasn't playtested. All the small things like weapon-swaps being cancel-able, map markers being vague to the point of not knowing if they are even in the same map zone, the incredibly awkward dual wielding selection and reload, and a million other things.

But then there are also little things like the arrows on the underground pipes which suggests some genuine thought was put into it, and that it all just went wrong somewhere along the line.

Only Wolfenstein game I have not purchased. Just too woke.

[Nar!]

I only bought this game on sale to play with a friend, as I've heard it at least delivers as a co-op game, if you can get passed the name "Wolfenstein" in the title. Because clearly, there's nothing "Wolfenstein" about it. It looks more like a reboot of Charlie's Angels, tbh.

But I think I can get passed the feminisms and enjoy it as a co-op. Because then it simply relies on friend shenanigans rather than focusing on the game's story, cheesy dialogue, etc, for the fun factor to kick in.

Honestly... If this game came out with a different name like maybe just "Youngblood", instead of riding on the coat tails of a popular brand, that is Wolfenstein, it wouldn't be as hated on as it is now. Because there are some things that are ok in it. No game is flawless of course. But the direction they pushed with this one, was a huge mistake.

It's failure to achieve better reviews should teach them and any future dev a lesson about ever shoe-horning these types of narratives just to pander again.

I'm not done with the game (not sure how to know how far you are, but brother 1 & 2 are done plus several side missions), but I didn't notice any leftist woke or feminism stuff. Seems very Wolfenstien 2-ish in how it plays with a different way to upgrade things (much more customizable, which is nice). Maybe it could be considered Biblical era feminist with the "woman puts tent stake though enemy king temple" definition of feminist, but the main characters are definitely not bra burners or "we don't need a man." They snuck away from home & two strong female characters to save their dad, not because a man couldn't do it, but because it's their dad and they love and miss him.

My main complaint is that there's so many side missions mixed with the main missions it's kind of confusing what you do to progress the story. Or, if there is an easy way to tell, I missed/forgot the tutorial early on or haven't figured that part out yet (I know there's a "side mission" section but it seems like a lot of the missions outside that section are side missions too).

To be clear, I'm very ok with playing female protagonists. Just as long as it's not there to remind me that my gender sucks, every corner I turn. I imagined thats what many here were complaining about.

So how you describe it, sounds more appealing than other complaints I've read.

Just going off the trailers, it only seemed humorous/corny to me. (I've yet to play it. But I'll finally install it tonight)
I mean the visuals and some of the action looks pretty good.
