Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

This game is very bad.
Played it all evening on console.

A lot of running around with a pipe melee weapon and no guns ... and shutting off electricity supply to stun then take down enemies. I could tolerate it ... but they're very long segments in a very short game. It's supposed to be an FPS.
There's also a long opening of not holding a gun... something New Order was criticised for heavily.
Bit of a remorse buy honestly ... I hope it gets better.

Yes, there have been a couple good parts when they just let you loose on twenty Nazis with a full weapon wheel. Apparently this is 7-10 hours long though and they don't put a gun in your hands for ages plus the first 2 hours were almost entirely non-playable following NPCs or stealth then there’s an on-rails section with a mounted machine gun on a boat, then it gets to what we wanted from a Wolfenstein game and actually starts being an FPS.

6/10

It ramps up after the first chapter. Fyi you can take the guns from those super electric soldiers then kill the rest of them with that minigun. You have to do it like 3 times though because it forces you to drop the minigun each time you open an electric door.

Apparently people these days think "6/10" is a bad score. As is anything below 8. Heck, these days even 8/10 is considered not worth playing by some. The scoring system was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up by reviewers like IGN. They would probably tell you if it ain't 8.5 or more, it's not a good game. Interesting how only game score have this.

Well there is a simple explanation. They didn't. It was a free upgrade for them. I know because I was one of them.

But I got a little soft spot for that game, you might say. Not because of it's quallity. But because of devs continuous suppport for well over a year after release, maybe even over 2 I think. I was there the whole nine yards, so I know how much the game improved.

And it was fun to just kill some dinos with friends. You might say it was so bad it was good thing.

Indeed. People tend to still hate it based on the initial release. They actually re-released it twice now. :D First to Dino Horde, now to Prelude.

The section isn't the majority of the chapter.

Awesome, stealth focus for the first leg of the game. Perfect.

EDIT: I realize this could be taken sarcastically. Not at all my intent.

I feel like you are missing a pretty important factor here. This game costs $20 and describes it self as standalone. That I assume would mean expansion. You can get games that are shorter for $60. So what exactly is wrong with paying $20 for 10 hours? Or you expected full game pre-quel for $60 game to cost $20?

10 hours of gameplay at this price point is probably far better than Wolfenstein The New Order provided as a full price retail game.

You must be new to gaming... or just trolling for a laugh .... IDK Bioshock ? 20 hours min of game play .. So ill say it again .. since you dont get it ... 10 hours of game play is pathedic !!!!!

You're the only troll here. 10 hours is more then enough for full priced games and has been that way since the playstation 1.
