+1. That's what happened in Wolf3D as well - you started off killing Nazis and then eventually ended up against a cyborg Hitler. How they can claim they're being faithful to the series I don't know, especially when the main advertising points are switching between realities and using weird lazery weapons. They've clearly missed the point by plugging the sci-fi element. What's the first thing you think of when you think Wolf3D or RTCW? Nazis. This game? Zombie Nazis. Muppets.

In RTCW you were given a Tesla Coil, fought armored robots and of course, Rob Zombie at the end. It's always been sci-fi shooting and it looks like this one is no different.

Using the Veil superpowers in multiplayer doesn't seem like a good idea but I will personally hold off judgment until final product. I won't kid myself and say I won't buy it though. It's Wolfenstein, I love shooting Nazis, end of story.

Bill Borre, I am playing the game on the PS3 rather than the PC. A 50" HDTV almost can contain my pimptastic suits and cars.

Is this the patch that removes the embarrassing dialog and horrifying sexual encounter?

That patch came out five years ago. It's called Knights of the Old Republic.

Playing it on the PS3 actually. I'm a little late to the party so I can't answer about the PC issues. Sounds like the patch fixed it some.

I feel sorry for all the people who bought this game, and how they got screwed out of $50.

What are you high? This is the BEST $50 I spent on a game, especially compared to Mass Effect and Fallout 3. I'm running around jacking cars with my British sounding dude who looks like Alfred Pennyworth from the Batman comics. I'm carrying around TEC-9s shooting Ronin while in either business casual, a sundress, or Borat's one piece bathing suit.

And I've only completed about 5% of the game...

Less jibber jabber story stuff. More bad guys on screen to explode, burn, bludgeon, and eviscerate. This is Doom dammit! The story should be as deep as a kiddie pool but the blood and body parts should be able to fill the Hoover Dam reservoir.

I don't know what type of advertising id has in mind with this...levels splashed with billboards for Pepsi, a banner ad for the lobby/public areas like Battle.net, or an unskippable ad video you have to watch when you launch the game.

The first ones are the most likely scenario. During the open beta I would often see blacked out areas on the map where I can only assume ads might go. There's also space on the stat boards and things like that.

Definitely watch youtube gameplay vids before you spend even $10 on this game, especially if you don't have or want the STEAM software installed. I found the TF2 gameplay simplistic and claustrophobic. The animations and many other things are done very well but the actual gameplay, I dunno. Not everyone will like this game, me included. I'm old school too, playing TF in Quake1 years ago (but liking Q1 CTF much more).

Whatever, gramps. I played back in those days too and TF2 is miles ahead of those games.

Seriously, why announce it? Why not just release it?!

Because if they didn't then another group of gamers would gripe that EA isn't doing anything or announcing anything about future patch support.

Back in the early 90s, top tier games at the time (meaning Sierra On-Line for instance) also cost around $60. Factor inflation in and game prices have actually come down by about a third. A game that costs $60 in 1990 would cost $96 today, for example.

Yes, they are classics and I never played them though, some gamer I am. But I will even carbon date myself further and say I played the hell out of Wasteland, the post apocalyptic RPG before FO and enjoyed that a whole, whole lot.

Who knows, maybe once the exhaustion from getting through Fallout 3 has worn off, I might fire it up again and go be a total jerk in it for a change of pace.
