I can't seem to get into Wolfenstein New Colossus
- Thread starter Fuhgeddit
- Start date
I understand feeling frustrated with the damage feedback, but I still enjoyed it a lot. My letdown was that I don't think the characters and plot was as good because of a few misteps. There's a tonal shift at the half way point where I started enjoying it a loooot more.
Beat it last month and felt it was a terrible follow up to the first game in almost every way.
Level design was far worse, secrets and collectibles were unrewarding and placement never factored into any environmental or narrative lore. The combat was just as problematic as last time as nothing was done to address criticism, just doubling down. Story was eh...one scene was fantastic in the middle, everything else forgettable(most of the NPC's barely did anything too).
Not a fan.

Yeah this one was disappointing. I tried to replay it and didn't feel like going through it again. It wasn't a joy to play for me.
I played and beat it when it came out. The story definitely picks up and is worth playing through since you enjoyed the first, but I agree it was a chore to get through at times due to the gameplay, layout of environments, and cheap/frustrating deaths I encountered. I'm still glad I played it.
I finished it but it felt like a massive chore compared to the first. The level design sucked ass. More collectibles then an old assassin's creed game. The side missions were all the same. I was massively disappointed. At least the story was top tier. Is the only thing it's got going for it. The shooting also felt way off on console. I dunno how they fudged that up.
I picked it up when it was on sale because of all the critical acclaim it got, but after a couple hours I had to stop playing because it was such a pain in the ass. I didn't find the gameplay to be fun and the level design was just irritating
Yeah. Infact you'd prob like it better as compared to the new order it was a massive let down.
The first is a better game and like $5 on any other platform. Switch version will be severely gimped, even the Pro consoles don't run the game at locked 60.
There's a specific point where the game picks up by 1000%. The first half isn't so good but it's definitely worth continuing to see what happens later.
For what its worth, the game picks up by a 100% at about the 50% to 60% point in the storyst
Other than that yeah the shooting on a controller is busted, hit detection is crap, the hp thing is just bad game design, level design is boring, enemy encounters are tedious and repetitive. Ill also go ahead and say the story and setpieces aren't much compared to the last game.

I'm struggling to stick with this game as well.. dual wielding the bigass shotguns felt so good in the previous game.. what happened?
Yeah I though the game had a lot of bad gameplay and level design decisions. I honestly didn't love the story aside from the
so I was pretty disappointed in this game.
part where you get captured
I honestly found it pretty disappointing after being surprised by the first one. I am glad I played it, but I'm even more glad I waited for a sale.
By the time you do get into it, if you ever do, it's over. More big production values with a short underwhelming experience.
After The New Order being one of the biggest surprises of the gen, The New Colossus was one of the biggest disappointments. Terrible level design, encounters, etc. Not really sure what the hell happened here
That said, it's worth playing through for the story. Just drop the difficulty and go through it

Seriously, fuck respawning enemies. What lazy bullshit encounter design. I kept trying to plow through it but im in the city now and the game is insufferable.
The level design (too many dead ends), poor enemy encounters, and poorly laid out geometry made playing the game a frustrating, disappointing endeavor. I saw it through to the end because the story, voice acting, and cutscene direction were all top-notch.
I disagree, every level had a place to hide and kill all enemies without even being in danger. Was very disappointed you could do this
I'm in the middle of it right now, not really feeling it. Level and encounter design just isn't very good, guns sound weak, and hit detection isn't as satisfying as it should be.
Also not a fan of pre-rendered cutscenes. Makes me check out a bit.
Don't know if it would still be the case if I went back, but I remember liking the first game a lot more.

You're not alone, and there are a number of threads echoing as much. It's a far, far weaker game than The New Order in almost every respect. The level design and encounter pacing in particular is much poorer.
Yup.
I'm there, too.
Game is still installed on my PS4, but I haven't touched it for probably over a month now. Every time I decide to give it another shot it fails to engage me or worse, frustrates the hell out of me.
Such a weird thing with this game. I know a lot of people feel the same way. Really wonder what happened.

Wow, I'm actually surprised to see so many complaints about the game, I LITERALLY just beated the game and it's fantastic, my favorite FPS from this generation (previous was DOOM)
Also I don't think it was that hard neither, beated on Bring 'em on without any difficulty besides some parts nearing the end of the game.

Story is cool, game itself is a total chore to play. Even dropping it down to easy doesn't help all that much. I was trying to force myself through it to see the story and finally decided I had better things to do with my time.
Played through TNO in like two days. Much better balance and gameplay. No idea how they messed it up so much.
