Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus |OT| Amerika ist wieder großartig
- Thread starter AgentStrange
- Start date
Played TNO recently because of the E3 trailer for this game. Really enjoyed it, bullet sponge enemies notwithstanding. This is looking like a massive improvement.
Edit: Wait... I mean
TNO gespielt vor kurzem wegen der E3-Trailer für dieses Spiel. Wirklich genossen, Kugelschwammfeinde ungeachtet. Das sieht nach einer massiven Verbesserung aus.

My key just arrived. Time to pretend I am Dutch for the next few days. Laten we dit doen!
Great OT. Understood everything except for the french part :D
As someone who hasn't played TNO, does it make sense to jump into this? Or should I try to get TNO first?
I've always been waiting for a good deal on the US PSN store for TNO but if there was one I missed it.

Yeah do that, it's a fantastic game. Probably the best FPS single player experience for me this gen.
I'd definitely recommend playing TNO first. Many of the same characters are in the sequel and you get surprisingly attached to them.
Plus it still plays really well. I just went through it again last week.
Yeah, I remember when some people were saying that Dishonored was only 4 hours long, which turned out to be bullshit.
I guess people don't think spending 60$ for a 5-6h experience is worth it? Just a guess ofc.
I don't hate short games. Titanfall 2 is a very lean 6 hour campaign that doesn't waste a single minute. Wolfenstein TNO was a really long and meaty campaign so hearing this could potentially be shorter than the DLC is a bit disheartening especially since I've been anticipating this for such a long time.
I know but i feel a game review shouldn't really focus on the price, even more reflect it in the score. What happens a few months later when it's half the price? People will still read the same review.
Also as we can see a short single player game is usually half price already on release on any key store

Updated the OT to fix the French part and a spelling error. Adding a link to a Google Doc with English translations.

Yep, exactly. I don't mind a shorter campaign, but TNO felt pretty substantial with the hub and quite a few supporting characters, so a single player half its length would have been disappointing.
Absolutely amazing OT! Thanks for the effort you put in.
BTW, i hope Austrians / Germans are aware that there doesn't seem to be a way to get the english / uncensored version of this on or into steam.
I don't know about console versions though, any info on that?
(i searched this thread for "Austria" - no mentions, so...)
There are partial walkthroughs up on Youtube of the first five chapters which are around 4 hours long.
The only way I could see it being 5-6 hours is if the game only has 6-8 chapters, which wouldn't make much sense, seeing as the first game had 16.
Also, bear in mind that Youtubers tend not to explore and look for collectables.

Finished TNO tonight, bought it on the PSN sale in anticipation of this. I really enjoyed it, although it felt really punishing at times. Hated any section that required precise movement because the walk/run was ridiculously hard to control.
Everything I've seen from TNC so far looks even better so I'm definitely hyped.

Nope, would have been a deal breaker for me but they've actually fixed it.
It's most likely censored. A few people have commented on their Facebook page saying they received the German version, even though the product page for it makes no mention of it being the German/censored version.

Oh really? I thought I saw footage of button prompts for picking up ammo in a video the other day. Maybe it's optional now.
I was thinking the same an hour ago, but felt strange there wasn't one already. Guess that'll be my first thread in this community
I am currently preloading the game using a (paid) Dutch VPN IP. I am planning on staying on this VPN through the weekend until I finish the game. There is no other way for Germans to play the uncut version (at least for the next 3 months).
Austrians seem to only have access to the cut German version on the Steam store as well. But they should be able to activate keys for the worldwide version just fine without a VPN.

"Those who import the english version, will not be able to activate it on Steam in Austria and Germany, according to Bethesda."
Bless region free consoles. I'll import the UK version some time in November.
Austrian here. This was not a problem for me with TNO and TNB. Could buy the international version from other stores and activate/play them on steam.
Activated the key from CDKeys earlier and my game list links to the international version of the game. (does not let me access it though) http://store.steampowered.com/app/612880/
May be a bigger hassle for Germans.
Same here, I would like to play this on steam but I can't be bothered with VPN stuff. Just bought the PS4 version on amazon.com, thankfully there is enough else to play until it gets here.
for the first game, the region lock was removed after release, iirc

i'd love to be wrong on this, but word on the street is that you need a VPN to unlock / activate / play The New Colossus uncut in Austria.
Are you activating it in Germany? I want to get it from cd keys but not if it's the censored version.
Tomorrow I will know if it works. Will let you know then. Preload is working.
i'm of course crossing my fingers for you to be right on this one!
You do. It's region-locked at both the activation and runtime levels. Your options are:
- Finish the game while connected to a VPN
- Connect to a VPN and switch to Offline Mode, at which point you can disconnect as Steam won't pick up on the IP change
- Create a steam_appid.txt file in the directory of the executable and input a different app ID to trick Steam into thinking you're playing something else (but this breaks Steamworks integration and won't work if the executable doesn't use CEG/Steam DRM)
- Wait three months following activation for the runtime restriction to expire
Edit: Oh, sorry, I misread your post. Austria isn't blacklisted. Just Germany.
Got any reputable source on that?
Most recent reporting by several outlets said that - as opposed to the first game, where Austria got un-blacklisted post-release, it's back to being blacklisted this time around.

Yes. Be sure to play The Old Blood as well. That's a standalone prequel to TNO that takes place like two days before TNO starts.

Edit: Err, that's supposed to take you to the Info tab, obviously. All of the game's public subs are set up to exclude Germany and only Germany.
Come to think of it, I'm probably gonna replay TNO.
Sublime Game.
Can't access the store page of the international version from Austria. Still hope it is playable tomorrow.
