Man, Dwight Schultz sounds just like the guy providing the German dialogue for Deathshead.

I initially thought the weapon loadout in this game was a bit too sparse until I realized that half of the weapon altmodes are meant to replace other weapons being in your inventory. So all your weapons basically do double-duty. ...I still think this game's laser equivalents aren't quite as awesome as the last Wolfenstein's ghostbuster gun, though.

Super Bunnyhop did a review of this game where it mentioned it plays camp elements for horror: robo-nazis are just a new level of disturbing rather than ridiculous like they could or should have been. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP2o51re49k

Either those robots are nuclear or they run off of some other unknown power source. In Wolfenstein 2009 their weird machines all ran off of energy sucked out of the Veil, but here we don't have any magic (or cross-dimensional stuff, as the case may be).

Set sure has a lot of fine control over a robot he's remote-controlling with a joystick behind his back. I'm impressed.

I think BJ himself is immune to knives or something. They seem to do jack to him.

chitoryu12 posted:Well, what is the supernatural but what science cannot yet explain? Perhaps Set is correct: it's not "supernatural", merely science that has not been explored by contemporary scientists yet. True enough. There's just a lot less "glowing green poo poo" parascience going on in this one. ...and this just reminds me of how many eerie parallels the Captain America: First Avenger movie had to Wolfenstein 2009.

Yeah, I won't defend them that. Then again, basically everybody who handed the chancellorship over to Hitler thought they could control him. Very few people realized the whole country would go completely off the rails like it did, and most were just all "what can I get out of this?" ...kind of like the mob hiring the Joker in The Dark Knight, if they'd known they were opening that big a box of crazy they wouldn't have touched it. Speaking of which, where is hitler in this game? Dead? Is Dethhead the new leader? The resistance sure treats him like the de facto leader of the Nazi empire.

Night10194 posted:To bring it back to Wolfenstein, this is why I love the Da'at Yichud plot element. Because it avoids worshiping Nazi engineering and suggesting the Nazis could win the war on their own; they stole their poo poo and they're just as crazy and inefficient as ever. Oh, absolutely. Actually that's a plot device I like in general for bad guys with superweapons. If they were smart enough to build that poo poo on their own they might not have needed to resort to supervillainy in the first place. So, was Set introducing mold into the concrete as it was being made, or did he sabotage the basic concrete formula in general? Because if it's the latter, I forsee a sequel to Wolfenstein: The New Order called "The Crumbling Reich" or something where massive concrete supercities are now shattering like stale cookies.

Night10194 posted:Also, all these characters are, you know, hypercompetent action hero types. Set survived a concentration camp for over 10 years and is a superscientist, Caroline has been a resistance leader for more than a decade, Fergus is a crack pilot who is also a super badass commando with witty dialogue and acting, etc. Everyone is really loving good at everything they do. I'd love to know what the hell Tekla actually does around the base other than be twitchy and do calculations.

There's a character or two I can think of that I'd like to play in a sequel to Wolfenstein New Order, but we'll have to see more updates before I can say who or why.

It's extremely weak early-game, but extremely powerful late-game, IF you remember to pick up all the upgrades for it along the way. So that influenced my opinion of it initially too. At first it was just a bigger, less-efficient laser cutter instead of a weapon.

Even better, the sniper rifle apparently undergoes no transformation to become a laser gun. You just flip the scope over to the side.
