Reviews aren't negative, the fuck are you smoking. Reviews are mainly in the 7/8 range. Sure, its not gonna blow your mind but it doesn't seem terrible.
Then again this forum has had it in for Wolfenstein games for a long time now. They're rarely terrible and rarely great, just decent. But if we took everyones opinion here it would be a 3/10 everytime.
Most reviews are bad on Steam - and making very good points.
Horrible open world system, bugs, glitches, poor checkpoint system, bullet sponges for higher level mobs without a solid reward, poor story, fragmented story, shit AI if not playing Coop (I am sure Coop is fun but you can play "I just ate some shit" with a friend on a couch and have fun. Wait, scratch that, no couch coop) Atmosphere that is convoluted (Nazi's have ordered all civilians to leave paris - yet their intercom system talks to the masses like it was June 1942) The STARK contrasts between BJ and the "HELL YEAH THAT WAS BAD ASS" attitude of the new protags. The levels themsleves are completely disconnected and lifeless and soul-less in design.
I couldn't careless if I am controlling BJ or 2 lesbian sisters on meth benders - but the mechanics of this game are flat out horseshit and it was poorly designed.
And yes Delly, the game is being outright lambasted on Steam Reviwes right now. I gloss past the reviews that aren't content worthy with good points. Read the many many shit reviews where they all talk about how this game is basically an abortion.
Only redeeming point is it's 29. Had they charged 59 people would REALLY be going apeshit.
Know what it does make me want to do though? Probably should actually play through the last Wolf. New Order was cream of the crop. This game is a fucking embarrassment to the franchise. (I also admit, freely, I have been playing Wolfenstein (Along with a lot of you) since Apple 2 GS days with my favorite being Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and New Order.
I don't even know what the fuck they just made here - but it sure as hell wasn't wolfenstein originally. And knowing Bethesda, they probably just pulled another Battlecry/Fallout Con Job and Arkane had this game ready to go as another franchise until Bethesda felt they needed to throw IP based value and have Machine Games reskin the thing to do just that.
PS: I thought people here loved Return to Castle Wolfenstien and new order? Old Blood was bad, and new Co was "Meh ok I guess".
