The New Order and Old Blood had really good details in them that let you immerse yourself in the game's setting. From cut out newspaper articles that explain what happened to the world during your 14 years of coma, to random talks between NPC's (even something little as Anya knowing how to use a tpyewriter), or one of my favorites are how real life hit songs from the same time period have been reworked and rewritten to fit in with the new regime. (a feature New Colossus was totally lazy about as it didn't have any new songs and instead you could collect the same songs from New Order)

[@maxducks2001]

I love how despite how comically evil some of the villains are, a baffling amount of Nazis are humanized through their dialogue that plays if you don’t immediately kill them. You of course have your standard dialogue talking about killing the undesirables and locking up prisoners, crushing opposition under an iron boot. But so many others are just ordinary people. One wonders if it’s right to be part of the Nazi party when he’s a Christian. Another wonders why there’s rebellions because he genuinely believes they’re doing the right thing and bringing peace to the world post-war. They talk about their families. Sometimes they joke around with each other. A commandant sits on the edge of a ruined bridge that you wreck and stares into the horizon, and I firmly believe he’s thinking about what the Reich has been doing and if he’s been in the wrong this whole time. It’s great worldbuilding in a setting that might seem almost comical at first, and it makes sense given the differing stances of German citizens under the Reich during WW2 in real life. It’s amazing, and I wish more WW2 games would do that.

[@NinjaMaster-og8ti]

Exactly. It's hard to remember but even though the Nazi army as a whole was completely horrible and irredeemable. The soldiers were still humans. They still had lives and not every soldier was a crazed fascist. Some were fed lies and some had no choice but to enlist to protect and provide for their families. It's one of my favorite things about Wolfenstein. It doesn't do what ever other game does and paints every Nazi as pure evil, but presents them in a more complex and humane way.

My favorite part of the Wolfenstein games, excluding the amazing gunplay, is the world itself. All the developers had to do was make a world where the Nazis won the war but they blew it out of the park! The use of the German language in everything from signs on walls, enemies speaking to each other, and even the soundtrack through collectible pop songs in German is down right mind blowing. It along with the imagery and symbolism adds to the authenticity of the game world that keeps drawing me into the world of Wolfenstein. As a German American, it is a treat to see the use of both American and German influence on this dystopian world of Nazi tyranny. Another part I like is that despite it being in the world of science fiction, the world seems grounded in mostly reality. The super soldiers clank around in heavy metal suits, and in the case of old blood require actual power sources. The guns are great as well and overall this series is by far my most important to me. I am so excited to see how the developers finish this series but until then I have another Wolfenstein marathon to play all the way through. Thank you and I loved the video, keep up the most spectacular work!

[@caoilfhionndunbar]

this is like three years later, but just to add from a historians perspective: they did the single best take I have ever seen on "nazi super tech". normally, (and to some degree still in Wolfenstein tbf) its a disturbing romanticism and heroification of the Nazis when people indulge in the fiction of Nazi superweapons. here, it wasnt the Nazis who did it, it was a Jewish group. and their tech was still better, which is why I love the mech suit and the the Daat Yichud vault. it did the best it could to turn around a normally awful trope into some degree of additional commentary on how Fascism only takes and appropriates things from the past, and never creates.

Had a dozen times where I was in a room and saw my health drop in seconds because of an unseen enemy shooting me in the spine and game 'not reacting' at all.

I think my biggest issue with TNC was the ending, or seeming lack thereof. The final boss fight was so underwhelming I didn't realise it was the final boss fight until the game ended. It also felt like the story got cut off right before the good stuff, the whole game is build-up to this grand revolution you never get to see or play (I'm not counting the assassination missions as those just seem like filler), and probably never will considering the next game has been revealed to take place in 1980. Overall I still had fun, just inconsistent fun, worth it for a discount but nothing more.

TNC gameplay was frustrating. Getting killed during takedown animations, being unable to fast swap weapons when using dual wield guns and missions you have to grind. Also TOB and TNO gave you the feeling that the nazi regime was strong, evil, coldblooded and scary to stand up against. TNC just portrays them as dumb, silly and passive, like it was obvious a group of rebels could outmaneuver them.

[@Lajos_Kelemen]

Right? I could actually imagine all that was done by the nazis had they won the war in TNO. In TNC, that disgust, that shock how they turned the world to their image, it was all gone.

[@looinrims]

TNC world also makes no sense For one the revolution takes place after a generation passes, you get one chance to rebel, when people remember life before occupation, for the revolution to occur in the 60s after being occupied in 1948 is retarded For another, just as the British, there’s no reason to assume an American variant of the London Monitor wouldn’t exist, but for some fucked reason it doesn’t, and no, the Ausmerzer doesn’t count For third, the entire rebellion is outmatched and outgunned, the gap between the Americans and the Nazis is ten times worse than that of the Americans and British in the 18th century, and the Americans almost ate it were it not for the French, and in Wolfenstein, there’s no nation remotely close to standing up to the Nazis, the African coalition can’t leave Africa, Japan was neutered, and the Chinese are in worse than the Americans

[@EatitHarvey]

One thing that I love about Wolfenstein is that it humanizes the Nazis. You read notes and overhear their conversations about their families, their friends, how some of them actually feel horrible for what they're doing. Then you meet up with ex-Nazis and the daughter of a main villain working with the resistance. The game also makes it clear that not every enemy you shoot is some concentration camp mad scientist or a war criminal, a lot of them are just security guards, scientists, or at times people who took that job to AVOID committing atrocities, only to end up guarding that one piece of paper essential for the resistance. Even the comically evil villains have things they loved like their pet dogs. I actually wondered how many of these faceless mooks I mowed down could have turned to the resistance had things been different. That's what I think you should handle enemies like the Nazis. Not think of them as an otherworldly evil, but think "My God, they were human. Humans did this." That's the only real way to learn from the past, to understand the banality of evil.

[@axa993]

The Old Blood is cool but The New Order is a blast to play. TNC was extremely underwhelming, they put so much effort into it and amplified every aspect of the game that they forgot to actually see if it's fun to play.

[@MrNuclearturtle]

Wolfenstein Old Blood is easily my favourite out of three games, feels like a modern day return to castle wolfenstein. What I love the most how ever is how the narrative is concisely told. No 5-6 minute cutscenes bogging you down every 15 minutes, just mostly in game dialogue that delivers the same punches as the main games, like the deaths of BJ's OSA operatives or the death of that girl/elderly man. And that ending monologue...

[@BVBrocks927]

What an over exaggerated statement of cut scenes between game time. If you are getting through whole levels that quickly then turn the difficulty up.

[@MrNuclearturtle]

@@BVBrocks927 In wolfenstein 2 absolutely, cutscenes are overly long and try way too hard, that farm level is literally a interactive story book, moving from point to another triggering several minute long cutscenes. The first game struck a good balance where as old bloods dlc and budget nature had few cutscenes but still told a good story. Even if we're talking about gameplay, wolfenstein 2 highest difficulty is bullshit hard, unfairly balanced, and relies way too much on the commander mechanic, forcing you most of the time to focus on stealth unless you want to fight closet spawning enemies.

[@AbbreviatedReviews]

I've always cited one of my biggest issues with Wolfenstein 2 was how heavily it leaned on stealth. I'd never really considered that the addition of the pointless 'replayability' design that centered around that massive hoard of commanders was forcing stealth into the gameplay every few minutes was the real culprit. It just felt like the game would give you ten steps for sprinting and then put you waist deep in molasses. I did appreciate the narrative and character building in the game, but the pivotal twist in the game that was wildly outlandish really drew me out of the gravity of the desperation in the plot. Then the choice of one of three new powers immediately had an effect on the level design. It created numerous areas where some of the paths forward were almost too obvious while others were completely unintuitive. I can't blame the level designers though, I can't imagine having to put in dozens of options to traverse a level depending on which of the three choices you made hours before. My biggest issue though was one you probably didn't encounter. Wolfenstein 2 was a mess at launch. I had so many issues with it crashing, freezing, and losing progress that I actually had to stop playing for a while until a patch came out. Even then there was one moment where the game would crash every single time in a cutscene until I ran it in safe mode. Really unacceptable for a full priced AAA game in my opinion. Coming off of the previous games excited to get back into the meaty world of being a dual wielding death machine, but I did not have a good time and it was tough finishing a game so full of issues, both technical and from a design perspective.

To each their own. The New Colossus is my favourite as I'm a big fan of batshit insane. Yeah, it's got some rough balancing issues and the level design (mainly in that destroyed city level) is pretty shabby but the it felt vibrant and bold in a way The New Order didn't.

[@smartnube]

@Maintenance Renegade Honestly out of all the bullshit i hated from new colossus, i don't mind that one because i get what they were trying to do. They were trying to pull a Max, where he represented inocensse, and how even that was taken away from humanity. But this time Anna represented the future, as in literally the future of the youth. I think the slow motion, awkward breaks and the angle it was shot was what ruined it mostly.

[@GamerGuysReviews]

Nothing says fun like spending the first half of the campaign as a glass cannon.

[@smartnube]

@Maintenance Renegade i can get behind this view, the Nazis were really underdeveloped. You were expected to carry out your hatred for Engel, despite she changing her personality to batshit crazy. Tno used the asylum and concentration camp scenes to really give us a reason to want to fight the nazis (i would say the timeline split as well, but i wasnt connected to the characters as much as i was later, Fergus best boy). Meanwhile Tnc, shaped by what i could only guess is the american political stress they've been through, ends up giving up on the development of villains completly, because they dont think you need a reason to kill a nazi. I think what hurts the most was the smoothie scene, because it shows that the team was indeed capable of this.

Escape from butcher bay was my favorite FPS for a long long time. It still ranks as the most unique shooter I've ever played and probably the best paced video game period. No one idea overstays its welcome. The whole thing is so wonderfully tight.

[@innoclarke7435]

Except the actual gunplay, which is ridiculously clumsy. Hell, even the stealth felt a little half-baked. I thought Assault on Dark Athena had much tighter gameplay in all ways. Problem is that even going into both games *wanting* to like them and beat them, they both left me wanting for a better experience. I think The Darkness came closest to being a really satisfying experience from me from Starbreeze, but the gamepad controls felt in desperate need of refinement. Ah well.

I played the opening prison levels as a kid and wanted to play through the whole thing now that I suck at video games slightly less, so I did just that about a year and a half ago. Even though it was taken off the Steam store in 2013, the code can still be redeemed in your library. It did have a few... quirks that I had to get used to, like stealth having NO downtime between being detected and getting shot at, and the boss fights are pretty much 100% awful, to the point that I had to cheese my way though almost all of them. Still, I had an absolute blast with both games. Vin Diesel stabbin' dudes in the neck with a screwdriver never gets old.

[@Etzelsschizo]

My opinion was quite the Opposite: The first missions were my favourite as they showed the threat the Nazis were to the world. But then it declined and the Nazis became Stormtroopers and comic relief. I mean, an inexpirienced Resistance Fighter holding a door for a few seconds while the Nazis rush in like idiots just to get shot by her? Stolen Helicopters flying in the middle of Berlin during day? BJ and Seth somehow hacking a Robot despite beeing tied against a pillar and then using it to kill the entire Force beeing there? But the last mission was the worst. Deathhead didn't got justice and only felt threatening in the first mission. In the final boss fight he just was, well, there and I didn't have the same feeling as in the first mission. Or how the prisoenrs escaped. Really, how did you kill armed Nazis while remainin unarmed in a cell? Did you just wait till both leaned against the cell to get strangled by you. And the thing with Fergius/Wysts Brain was just ridicolous.

[@Mr_Meatbox]

My biggest problem is that it's too hard, the AI is far too smart and the stealth sucks in comparison to the previous 2 games

[@LadyTylerBioRodriguez]

I'm a masochist when it comes to achievements. After beating the game on the hardest difficulty I looked at the Mein Leib achievement and went NOPE! I cannot imagine anyone getting that thing without hardcore cheating. The bloody courtroom level takes about three dozen attempts.

[@spartan456]

I felt the game was unfinished since I was able to finish it the same exact day that I bought it. New Colossus just feels like an add-on, akin to The Old Blood, but at the time of release it was given a full-game $60 price tag. Don't get me wrong, I know The New Order was pretty short too, but it's almost 2-3x as long as The New Colossus. What really bothered me was the pacing. TNO had an appropriate setup and payoff for almost everything. I don't remember anything feeling like it was dragging on too long, or was too short-lived. There's a very long series of events throughout the entire plot. When you get to the Bridge, for example, you know you've come a VERY long way from the concrete bunkers in the sand from the first mission. It feels like that was a long time ago, because it WAS a very long time ago. That doesn't really happen in TNC. The story pacing is absurdly fast. When you're launching nukes in New Orleans, it doesn't feel like you were in a wheelchair killing invading Nazis on the submarine very long ago. Because you weren't. The beginning of the game was not that long ago, and the pacing is just all around fucked because of it.

[@LadyTylerBioRodriguez]

I wanna say the problem is they kicked up the amount of damage an enemy can deal to hypersonic speed.

[@ExValeFor]

I cant believe people don't see it. I'm one of those who feel extremely at odds with TNC's politics, which are in fact all over the place, but I hardly gave a shit while playing just because of how botched, sliced up, poorly directed and underdeveloped the game was. I don't care about Grace Walker when the game has fuck all for levels or environments and forces you to spend hours with 50 health and BJ being emo.

[@Neo2266.]

The music was also superb in both first installments, I remember after finishing the Old Blood, i opened a window to my room for fresh air and just sat there listening to the Partisan, an absolute masterpiece. New Order also had some great memorable tracks, i mostly preferred the safehouse and cutscene guitar ones But the New Colossus, the only one i think i remember and i like is (11:53) this fucking thing, and the part of the mission while it plays is kinda underwhelming combat-wise

[@theseabass]

I loved The New Order, but The New Colossus was probably the biggest gaming disappointment for me in the 2010's. The gameplay I felt discouraged me from playing a way I felt was fun, with the lowered health being of particular annoyance on higher difficulties. I played it near launch in late 2017, so my memory is a bit hazy on lots of the game, but I distinctly remember the court room scene being one of the absolute worst levels I can recall playing in a first person shooter. The politics in this game I felt came at a detriment to the story, with the developers trying and failing to create captivating parallels in their game to modern day events. To be clear on politics, I don't mind a wide range of political ideas in games as long as those ideas are conveyed well, and all of The New Colossus felt like it was just pandering to a certain demographic without giving any compelling reason why somebody who disagrees should rethink their philosophy. This last point may be partly my own fault, but some of the marketing I felt misled me. In all of the trailers you saw the happy American town with that 1950's aesthetic, but with Nazis prowling the streets. All of the marketing showed the game as Nazis sort of infecting classic images associated with the American Dream, and tainting them. I thought the game was going to be about going through the Nazi ridden streets of the classic idolized period of America and taking them back, but most of the game didn't take place in such a way. The first few levels all take place on that submarine. The first level were you actually get to play on American soil take place in a generic bombed out city. Sure it might be Manhattan, but visually it looks like the level could have been copy pasted from a Fallout or Metro game. When you finally do get to that 1950's esque town I was expecting some epic shootout that starts with that Diner scene, but instead I got booted into a cutscene before I could kill a single Nazi, and then was transported to the next underground secret base level which could have been a generic level from any other Wolfenstein game. For a game that has all of the United States as a pool to draw from for inspiration, the level designs really felt uninspired and boring to me. After The New Colossus, I don't think I will be giving Machine Games' newest Wolfenstein games a shot. To me, killing Nazis in videogames is something that should be a formula that is nearly impossible to mess up, but they somehow managed to make it so I wasn't having fun doing so.

On my first playthrough on "don't hurt me", I flew into a rage trying to finish that damn court room level. I must have tried some 50 times over the course of 3 days. The next playthrough on "I am death incarnate", I tried only 3 times before finishing it. It was very satisfying, but was at a loss for words at how little effort (comparatively) it took to finish it off. The game was way too short. The new order was much better and more satisfying to me (well, except the ending).

[@AwsumGamer256]

New colossus is actually my favourite because of the score and acting, gameplay may be a few steps behind but it still feels rewarding. Another reason is credited to those speeches.

Specifically, I liked the turn-it-up-to-11 feel of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus; it seemed fitting for the universe and felt like a proper homage to the over-the-top feel of early 90s FPS.
