I'm halfway through New Order now (which seems like a long game compared to most of the current crop of games), and it is indeed great. I never played the last Wolfenstein game but it's a little weird to hear BJ talk a bit like a redneck. I guess that makes sense, but still. Also, why does his picture in the main menu look so little like his character model?

The gameplay is great, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm still waiting to hear Blue Monday while I'm killing Nazis though, is there something wrong with my copy of the game?

I'm definitely excited about this. If there's one thing I'd like to see changed, it's the removal of the collectibles. Why does every game need collectibles now? It bugs the hell out of OCD gamers like me...

Can I dual wield the pipe and knife? So much stabbing and bashing.

Also, the answer to How many goddamn Nazis is "Hopefully more when I get done reloading."

now this is what a Wolfenstein game is meant to look like!

Also, I'm hearing that fucking Wilhelm scream sound effect more and more in movies, tv shows, and games these days. The other one I hear all the time is the stereotypical prison door squeak. Fucking annoying. It's not funny anymore, you guys. Stop it.

That and that generic sound effect that is invariably used for doors opening/closing in science fiction shows-argh.

I think that sound was also what DOOM used for doors, or at least very similar. I remember watching some scifi movie once (don't remember what it was called) and when doors were opening and closing I was like WTF that's DOOM sounds!

DOOM used a lot of stock audio effects. The zombie soldier sounds, imp sounds, etc. I still hear those every so often in zombie/horror shows/movies. It's kind of comical, but only because I know where I first heard them, and they're not nearly as pervasive as the Wilhelm Scream and prison door sounds.

Yep, Doom was where I first heard it too, so every-time I hear it somewhere else it always pops up in my mind. I guess that's what happens when you use stock audio, but it still kind of annoys me.

Out on May 5th? Wow, that came out of nowhere. So is this DLC or a stand-alone game?

And Fallout 4? Still missing...

More Machinegames?

Yes, please!

Which do you recommend to play first?

Hmmm... this is a bit odd to me.

W:TNO was a sequel to "Wolfenstein", which in turn was a sequel to "Return to Castle Wolfenstein".

The description of the two parts of this game almost sound like the plot to RtCW. But I think they're messing their timeline up.

W:TNO starts in July 1946. It's supposed to be 3 years after the events in Wolfenstein. RtCW starts in 1943, and Wolfenstein was supposed to be 1944, so they were already a little off on their timetable... but now we're shifting those events from 3 years prior to 4 months?

Seems odd that after going out of your way to incorporate stuff that happened and characters from the other games, you'd throw out the continuity.

Why is there no price in US dollars? I don't really mind, I'm not from the US, but it's weird...

Because British subs are already cruising up the Hudson river as I type this. THE NEW WORLD ORDER, baby! Wave the greenback good-bye!

zomg I can't stand the scream either. It totally ruins the whole thing for me. I want originality in my media please.

Looks cool. I lolled at the last bit. ...Why is there no price in US dollars? I don't really mind, I'm not from the US, but it's weird...

The New Order dragged a bit at the end, but I am sure as hell getting this. Great gunplay

This looks.... really awesome

lol at the ending

its in everything and it will never stop

Hrm, looks very good. I loved W:TNO right up until the ending, so I'm pretty much sold on this.

What do those crazy non US dollar prices translate into, roughly 25 bucks or so? Seems acceptable. Might be tempted to wait for a sale though, W:TNO itself was pretty short.

LOLZ German IP here and can't even watch the video, let alone play the game so gonna have to pirate the uncensored version again just like TNO *sigh*. Oh well, the idea of a prequel is pretty meh-worthy anyway. On the other hand at $19.99 it's probably only two or three hours long so I'll probably go all yyyaaarrrr matey on it regardless.
