    They actually referenced the Venus base (kind of) in TNO. In the London mission, in the rubble in the beginning, there's a broken sign with a planet on it and says "Venus." Of course it's incredibly low-res, like everything else that isn't something to shoot at.

    The New Order is probably one of my favorite games of all time. I was immediately put off by the New Colossus. For one, WHY THE FUCK AM I RUNNING PITHY FETCH QUESTS INSIDE THE THE SUBMARINE. and two, the level design was just...... bad. Especially in nuked out manhattan. I am really bummed out that I don't like this game. And yes the second space mission was fucking ridiculous.

Everyone else seems to be hating the politics of this game, or praising it because they don't want to be seen as hating the politics of it.

    I liked New Colossus because of the pre combat dialogue of the patrolling Nazis.

    TBH I'd say the game does encourage you to try and be stealthy cus if you just run in to most encounters guns blazing you will survive about 4 seconds on even normal difficulty. If you don't stealth kill a good 50% of the foes in an area before the real fight breaks out its almost certainly game over. But the stealth isn't actually that fun and the gunplay is boring and frustratingly difficult. Makes me wonder who they made this game for...

    What was weird about the stealth sections is that since the enemies endlessly respawn until you kill the commanders, to me it didn't even feel like non-stealth was an option. Like in DOOM you fight the demons until there's none left, in Wolfenstein apparently you fight the Nazis until you get bored and sprint past them to shank the commander.

    Finished New Colossus recently.
    What bothered me the most is that after all the trailers that showed how American culture changed under the Nazis and all the over the top parodies (Blitzmensch, German or Else! ect.), there was pretty much nothing of that in the game.
    A good part plays on the hijacked submarine from the first game, a radioactive wasteland that used to be New York, a desolate swamp that used to be New Orleans and so on. There's one tiny section where you need to infiltrate Rosswell and get a glimpse of the new America. And even then there's pretty much nothing to be seen. Some KKK members have a casual chat with a nazi officer, a mother chastizes her son for neglecting his German lessons and some commander that apperently likes milkshakes. That's about it.
    I loved TNO for the story and environments, but TNC is about as generic as it gets. Even worse, it's stupid in the wrong ways. Remember that Lassy-knockoff featuring a Panzerhund and a little girl? Waited the entire fucking game for it, instead I got a black dude shagging a fat renegade nazi chick in a mini-submarine and an all black super hacker squad that used to chill in a skyscraper in the middle of a nuked city.

    This game was immensely disappointing, and The New Order is one of my all-time greats. Couldn't decide if it was a stealth game or an action shooter, so you end up with crazy dual-wield weapons, waves of enemies and empowering audio-visual design being hampered by a protagonist that's as tough as spunk-drenched loo roll. And don't give me the whole "ooh, but it's thematically appropriate" spiel. I don't care how thematic something is if it renders the game that frustrating. It just wasn't fun.
    Throw in a turn towards outright zaniness, characters that became lazy stereotypes and exposition-laden dialogue and the whole thing just felt half-baked and mediocre. All I wanted to blaze through fascist scum like in the first game, but instead I got this mechanically and narratively confused mess.

    Venus? That makes less sense than mars and that's not taking into account how much war monologue with a space fortress named aries could bring to the table, but I really meant how venus is one of the most uninhabitable planet to choose from when the conditions are high corrosion, immense gravity, and intense heat.

      St alc yeah it's totally bonkers, but from what I can gather the "reason" behind it was if the resistance ever got there they wouldn't have the resources to survive on the surface, like the Nazis do, for example every minute or so you need to refuel your suit with Liquid Nitrogen (or something else very cold) and most of the enemies are drones in this section in the outdoor parts.

    Meh it was more of the same. Shooting aspects of the game haven't really changed all the much since earlier Wolfenstein games. And they've always had batshit crazy stories. Fights were just tough enough to be a challenge. My only critism is that when you were being shot there wasn't much feedback. Hopefully the pay off will be good as it seemed like it was setting up for a much bigger game later.

    That point on the robot suits... I feel like the escalation of the robot suits might be to make them something that looks like Lovecraft puked it up between books, and left it in the folder labelled "probably too silly". Like... I don't know, a two headed robot centaur suit with 4 robot tentacles taken from the doctor Octavius school of robotics. Its dumb, but its an escalation that isn't just "its bigger". Side note: size escalation has been done a lot better in a certain anime I've already watched... They made a super galactic sized mecha that even looked like a galaxy, and promptly caused the singularity.

      Sebastian Holsen And that's the right spirit. If you read between the lines, it's also not that hard to see that he thought it was okay, just a victim to his general high standards for sequels of things he likes and general sequelitis (aka: “why a new game if there is not much bew to it?“). I don't know why exactly he did not like the story but why he then likes New Order, but oh well, maybe it just didn't get to him somehow. Can definitely see the complaints on gameplay, though.

In Venus, i actually had to factor in the combat environment. Not getting to kill or otherwise ruin Hitler's day was a turn off though, and if the series doesnt finish up with him in a Mech suit now, i am throwing wolfenstein into the big trash bin with the rest of the games id has made in the past decade.

      It also came out of the blue.

Besides that, we've seen characters like Rip before, in so many other forms of media, he's a walking cliche.

      Joshua Quintero I agree completely. The game was a mess from start to finish and I was thoroughly confused by the wild shifts in tone. At first it seems like you're going to need to take it so seriously, with Frau Engel being so vicious and unpredictable and William's severe injuries and imminent death, but then you have a conversation about ball sacks with a breastfeeding woman and you're fucking off to Venus where a drunk Hitler pisses in a bucket. And the whole "surprise, new body!" thing completely eliminated the somber bedrock the game had been building itself on. The moment when a shirtless, heavily pregnant woman machined gunned a bunch of guys while smiling maniacally and bathing herself in blood was one of the greatest heights of what-the-fuckery I've ever seen in a game. It wasn't sexy. It wasn't empowering. It wasn't some profound statement on breaking norms. It was just weird, creepy, and wildly irresponsible. What were these people smoking?

      It actually sacrificed it's own narrative and gameplay for the sake of "pissing off the alt-right." It goes on and on about "the american people rising up" but the only people fighting are anarchists and communists both ideologies that are unpopular with actual americans.
      If this game wanted anything resembling a uniting theme it would have featured a republican and a democrat joining the team, picking fights but ultimately working together. But that doesn't happen leftists are getting increasingly sociopathic in their own delusions. In ten years literally everyone, including the people that like it, will conclude New Collousus was a mistake.
