Wolfenstein: The Old Blood standalone preqel to The New Order

[FrontierCybrarian]

Fellow fps players this is a very good game. I'm into it 4 hours now and the shooting, weapons, graphics, sound, ambience are all nice...quite nice. The rag-doll effects for sniped Nazis falling into water below from high tower planks is a great touch.

I'm not too concerned about the story or whether this advances the Wolfenstein series because it's a prequel. Am I having fun shooting the various weapons and exploring the surroundings? Yes! I'm enjoying the Canal and Docks (just leaving this) missions better than the first couple. I'm glad I didn't judge the whole game by the first hour or so.

While the Crysis titles probably had better graphics I enjoy playing this one better. Maybe it's because of evil Nazis and the settings. It doesn't take too much for true fps players to get into a game if the running and gunning is intact. For experienced players I'd recommend using the medium or hard difficulty settings & you'll be in for a challenge.

About 5 hours in now and this one is more traditionally 'Wolfenstein'...ie big old German castle with lots of occult accoutrements and big ass guns. There is no one on these boards who will not squee when they fight their first heavy infantryman...

This is exactly why I play the Captain America movie tie-in game once a year or so. 

Punching Wolfenstein Nazis in the face with an invulnerable shield while doing acrobatics: priceless.

^You will certainly dig this game then.

Just wait until you reach Wolfburg. The occult stuff REALLY starts kicking up then.  >:D

SQUEE! I'm jumping into the cable car now. Can't be too far away...

[mirth]

SQUEE? Really?!

[Gusington]

You want a TEEHEE instead?

[mirth]

I want an exclamation that doesn't end in a chipmunk-esque 'EE'.

Work with me here, Alvin.

[Gusington]

I see that you edited your post. Which has to mean you like the 'EE.'

[mirth]

Okee Dokee :P

Wolfenstein: The TEEHEEing

The cable car sections are really well done. Caution if you are afraid of heights.

SQUEE? Really?!

Guys, I'm telling you this game is evoking all kinds of emotions...some natural, some supernatural, some bizarre! Take your pick:

-Squee
-Squeel (sp)
-Squeal
-Tee Hee Hee
-Eee Eee Eee
-E I E I O
-Yow Wee
-Ggggg-Ghosts
-Wee Doggies
-Nnnnnn Awet CCC's

Bayonet, you're the grammarian here with a huge written and spoken vocabulary. What else are the Wargamer's experiencing emotionally?

[Gusington]

Haters gonna hate, FC.

Anyway, could only play for about 45 minutes last night but I made it into the caves and mines below Wolfburg. Some tough fights down there...got my arse kicked plenty.

Going back for more tonight, of course :)
