It seems like a trend when a great franchise main character “has to” pass the torch to the next generation… it turns to utter garbage. Really emphasizes how much the main character makes the game. Detaching the MC can rip out the heart and soul of the game.

Well that is not always the case tho. Sure you do remember the worse offenders over the years, but there were some good example that did them right. You have to be very very good at making the replacement well deserve which is not something you can easily master.

[@RockSolitude]

@@Deliveredmean42 I'd love to see them replace Doomguy/Doomslayer with a new character called Doom Girl. Perhaps they could give her a wacky side-kick that fulfills several stereotypes at once whilst also ticking boxes on the PC checklist? The developers could then use these two new characters as flag bearers for how special and original and #relatable they are. The new characters will also give them excuse to write a new narrative through an insincere post-modern lens to "shake up the franchise" and make it #relatable by shoe-horning contemporary "social issues" by which I mean partisan wedge issue ideologically driven politics so it can "appeal to other people" because "Wolfenstein is for them and everyone" and that journalists and people who don't play the game on Twitter will really love it. Maybe they could retcon everything else that has happened in previous games along the way.

Wolfenstein 1 Remake: A brilliant and creative reimagining of an old IP that many thought was dead. If at times it takes itself too seriously.

@@gamerinatrance3618 tackling politics is fine, Nazis bad is a pretty universal stand. What the game really attempted to say though was 'Capitalists bad, White Men bad, Christians bad'. Grace was HORRIFICALLY unlikeable and would go on tangents about how bad white people or men were and never got ANY fightback. What could be an interesting political commentary could be how one extreme created another extreme and NEITHER are good. But instead Grace is shown as, while horrible, correct in all she says. We also get the Commie pastor which could have been used as a great tool. B.J. decides that going too far the other way is not worth victory, but instead, he simply argues and then accepts it. It really feels like they just gutted B.J. and instead of being the personification of America, what it stands for and the lofty ideals, he's just a shell who accepts that America wasn't really special.

Wolfenstein is such a great series, I wanted to like Youngblood, but the writing for BJs kids just didn’t compare to the writing for BJ in the previous games. BJ represented so much about what it means to be victim of hate while still having privilege, and using that privilege to your advantage when tearing down an inhumane/hateful system. It’s double disappointing because wolfenstien was one of the few l games that didn’t pull punches for action, humor or character writing while still having a sincere message. That’s a hard balance and they missed the mark. Highly recommend Jacob Geller’s video about Wolfenstein for more details about why it’s such an important series, it’s a top notch video imo.

Basic player level pathing is out the window, with exploration being almost completely gutted. Then there's the story as a whole, it's cringe to say the least. It's bad and it gets worse the more it drags on, but what makes it worse is that the writers of the the game are obviously aware of how horrible it is. Which is why they introduce these surreal bouts of humor that completely ruin any tension the game may have had, with the new characters only exacerbating the problems.

Also also, if you want to get collectibles, now you have to approach the game differently... in NO, you could just play casually for the first time and you could re-visit the place if you missed something and really wanted it. In NC you have to be much more careful, which can kill the vibe. I've yet to play YB, but I hope MG will go with BJ again, because he needs to kill Hitler for real next time.
