I haven't bothered looking at Wolfenstein yet because I know they (Raven) would take no risks . . bullet-time {yawns}
Yeah, but lets not forget Doom3 which was developed by ID and this game sucks major balls. Nothing comes out good from ID & friends anymore.
ok I just finished the game and here is my mini review.
negative:
*the introduction of rpg elements, it tried to be like Bioshock, but I dont think that is needed. All they had to do is to upgrade RTCW graphics and introduce a new storyline. Now we wont see a new Wolf untill 2020 or at all.
ME: this RPG/Upgrade thing is old news, and over used. It would be just as easy to have you find better weapons, which is an even older idea, but more realistic.
*fu c ked up FOV
*no console commands support
*crappy weapons
ME: well they're kind of stuck there anyway because it's a WW2 based shooter. Most of the weapons are bound to be old ones we've seen before a million times.
*messed up sprint headbob which makes me motion sick a little, my eyes get tired
ME: that is kind of annoying, but more realistic I suppose. An even bigger problem is that you can't shoot while running.
*crappy console style levels
ME: yeah, an obvious console game.
*the music which is worse than in RTCW
*crappy sound design
ME: I hadn't even noticed the sound scheme, I don't know whether that's good or bad...
*cheesy dialogs
*flat boring gameplay
ME: I've seen worse...
*encrypted game archives
*veil sucks
ME: I kinda like the whole 'Veil' thing, but it's been done before...
*I'm not a graphics whore, but this game has graphics of 2001 with 2 new shaders.
positive:
*compass - without it I would probably waste even more time on this shit
*nazi grunts animations
*not many bugs
6/10 And I havent even tried MP yet. Raven employes should be fired.
