Has it been said whether or not we should have played the first game for this? My copy is ordered because I am trapped in the hype.

Fatastic OT AgentStrange

I feel bad for putting off playing The New Order and now this is coming out already. I will have to make some time for these games.

Apparently the opening of The New Colossus gets new players up to speed.

But good lord, man! Play The New Order! It's one of the best games released in the past few years.

It's a direct sequel, so of course it builds off the previous game(s). However, like most sequels, they're obviously going to make it such that you could play it without having played the first (or The Old Blood), but you might not get all the references/nuances if you're not familiar with the previous games.

New Colossus has been my most anticipated game since the day I finished The New Order at its release, I can't believe it's here.

Terrific OT

Can't wait to punch and destroy nazis once again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again...

Best thing @2017

Ha, excellent OT. I don't know German, but I love it anyway.

If I pre-order on XBL after the pre-load starts, I'll still be able to do it, right? Sorry if that's a silly question. Never pre-ordered digitally before.

How long is it rumored to be?

One early review said it was 15 hours long.

There's also been a few unfounded rumours flying around which say it's only 6 hours. I call bullshit on those, though. However, It could also be a case of early players rushing through the game on the easiest difficulty in order to be one of the first people to finish it. You could probably finish the first game in a similar time frame if you did that.

I find it hard to believe TNC would clock in at a playtime comparable to their standalone DLC.

Perfect OT to start this forum with, AgentStrange!

Very excited to see what I can tactically do with the stilts.

Really looking forward to this. The New Order was such a (surprisingly) great game. Very high hopes for this one.

Wanna get this in the Target sale, but is anyone here waiting for the Xbox One X to play this game? Have the devs said anything about Scorpio support?

Yeah most of the time when you hear short play times spreading across the internet before reviews are out it's usually BS. Besides simply lying, there's too many possible factors to consider. What difficulty was it? Did they speed run it and skip exploring at all? I've seen this happen enough times that I try to ignore it now.

Are there spoiler tags on here yet? If not I may end up bailing from this thread until I finish it. I've already been on a pretty strong blackout for this and want to be as fresh as possible for my playthrough.
