Yeah I wouldn't get your hopes up with the Indian Jones game, they fucked up big time with Fallout 76, Wolfenstein Young Blood and The Elderscrolls online. They've almost abandoned the fanbase with the fallout tv show (As its a show not for fans, but for people who've never seen the series, its absolutely frustrating for people who already know the lore), so I wouldn't count their game being any better unless they're desperate
@@danpaz9485 Or, you know, you could have a bit of faith in MachineGames, who were not the primary devs of Youngblood and had nothing to do with the other two games.

The New colossus was already garbage trash. The only good game was The New Order, not only does Youngblood not even matter it wasn't made by Machine Games and its not even a mainline title. What killed Wolfenstein was having an awful sequel
The thing that bothers me most about Youngblood is the story implies that almost 20 years after the new colossus the nazi’s still haven’t been defeated. It sucks all the excitement out of Wolfenstein 3’s story and setting before it even exists. If I remember correctly they are only hanging onto Europe in the 1980’s when Youngblood takes place and the rest of the world is rebuilding or revolting but the writers expect us to believe that BJ and his friends liberated America and he was like this is enough. Not buying it he hated the Nazis and wouldn’t stop until they’re all dead.
Somebody's got to make some money off this franchise and since Machine Games became allergic to money by Young Blood and showed signs before with New Colossus, I say go ahead replacing moneymaking and story with current year politics first in a fictional story is a bad idea if you want to keep fans.
I also think the models downgraded, the people looked worse and the assets looked a little like free asset grabs. In Max’s room in W2TNC, you can find a modern globe that isn’t the W1TNO world.
Frankfurter* In german, you can add "-er" at the end to say where someone is from, same thing applies to the sausage. But in english, Frankfurter is the name of the sausage, so that's why. If someone asked if you were a Hamburger, you probably would be confused why they're calling you a burger and not if they're asking you if you're from Hamburg.
Also fun fact: BJ and DeathsHead/TotenKompf/Wilhelm Strauss faced one another before in Return to Castle wolfenstein, BJ in the beginning of Old blood after taking down one of the super soldaten he mentions encountering them in DeathsHead’s X labs which is the labs you encounter the very first super soldaten.
New Order was genuinely surprisingly good to me. I picked it up expecting a generic shooter, but got the opposite. But then I mistakingly played New Colossus... And I understood just how hard making good games is. And how you need someone with a big picture view of the project or you get... The Mess Colossus. Too many long cutscenes, nonsense upon nonsense, awful humour and annoying characters and then the gameplay... The level designers must've been asleep.
Cool video man but the thing you were saying around the 10 minute mark about the nazis being so much smarter and having better tech is an utter misconception created partly by a lot of WW2 media wanting to have an 'underdog' story about fighting the nazis. In reality they were hilariously incompetent with their tanks being prone to breakdowns and hard to produce. Their impressive victory in France was one part dumb luck, one part french incompetence and one part literal meth. That's why this game has to resort to giving them literal science fiction tech to make them win the war. It's good for what it is but please don't act like it has any basis in reality. If you didn't mean it like that, I apologize for the misunderstanding.
great video man but sometimes the editing was distractingly repetitive, if I took a shot everytime you used the hands out or thumbs up stock image I would have died of alcohol poisoning
I remember playing the new order on the 360. It was a great game but I remember even on that console.The graphics were so good it actually made me feel dizzy or discombobulated at first. still to this day one my favorite games to go and replay
Although not intentional this long form video really highlights the creeping introduction of DEI into the series, does make you wonder if the same happened to the dev team leading to quality drop off.
Must have been why games since 2016 have been on a slow but accelerated decline. I mean, just look at how MANY games got abandoned in one year because of DEI. Back then it was just once every few years.
For me, it didn't make a damn sense as Blazkowicz's old man looked distinctively American and while his mum was implied to be Jewish, it's still weird when BJ looked nothing like his old man, for he has Polish ancestry.
In Wolfenstein 2 I only chose the ram shackles to shout “FOOTBALL!” Or “BLUE 42 SET HIKE!” At the top of my lungs when I’d use it every time literally peak
Ig you forgot the part where yes your health is capped at 50 while in the power suit. But to compensate you're able to have 200 amour instead of just 100
I personally enjoyed the beginning forced stealth section in the old blood because i just really like the animation for stealth killing the super-soldiers.
Actually, if you read Wyatt’s bio, it’s his moral conviction and unyielding idealism. Wyatt might seem like a yellow bellied child, but is totally reasonable if you read his back story
The scene in Wolfenstein 2 when Grace is retelling the nuking of New York with a baby just in shot sucking made me turn off the game That contrast just doesn't work together.
Also just wanted to say, the director deciding to have a lingering shot of Gracie talking didn't have the same impact as someone doing it in live action for me. Like, that shot works for live action actors because an actor can really put across a subtle, fantastic performance. That doesn't translate well to videogame motion capture. Like she doesn't look like she saw the horrors of war. She looks like she's looking at someone who let off a quiet fart.
Hot take: "Herr Faust" from the new order OST rivals even some of the doom 2016 songs, shame it's barely audible in the game. (I am very biased towards the guitarist featured on that song)
The fact that i speak german makes the game so much better. Because i can just play the international version and still have the feeling like the game is intended. (the german version is shit, everything is sensored and they try to change every word for the high command, so it just sounds fucking stupid and takes the serious theme out of the game) and the funny thing is i hear every comment the germans make, and can even understand those that didnt get english subtitles.

And how may I ask? In that horrid "Young Turk" sequel, the world was ending in 1980 because SOMEHOW Hitler activated his Doomsday device and it was implied humanity either evacuated Earth or did a Marvel Multiverse.

Sad the series took a wrong turn especially Colossus and Young blood (Colussus with some of the “messaging” but the gameplay was good (although starting up with only 50 health was annoying) (Also young blood…that is all that needs to be said)
The scene with the dog was another controversy that mainstream media blew out of proportion like scenes from games past. Of course, none of them played the game to realize why the scene was there or what the player could do. The player is not forced to shoot the dog, in No Russian the Player does not have to shoot civilians and the romance scene in Mass Effect was about 1 second of bare blue ass.

The worst thing with Youngblood for me was the microtransactions. Why the hell are they even there? Other than the trend that games have to have them at the time.
The game really isn’t that bad, the main criticism of it I’ve seen boils down to the game not being edgy enough and the character being annoying which is frequently accompanied by a women le bad sentiment
@@Schlawg788 tbh the main characters just aren’t that well written or compelling compared to BJ who’s a far more interesting and likeable character and this isn’t even a “woman bad” thing, the main characters in Youngblood just aren’t that good.
And you can take out some of the bunkers on the cliffs also. I do all that stuff every time I play the mission. I like to think it helps the allies just get a little bit closer
I love Frau Engel as a character, she's such a vile, unhinged and scary antagonist. Absolutely pure evil, and she's believable in the setting even though she's practically a cartoon.
8:00 actually this is incorrect. Wolfenstein: TNO has a ‘combat stealth’ mechanic, where enemies have to really on sound or visuals in order to detect you. If you use your suppressed pistol during loud sections, enemies will have a much harder time tracking your location.
Also the supressed pistol, with maxed skills, and while ADSing, does more damage than the Marksman Rifle. If you shoot fast enough, you can stealth kill Supersoldaten
@@Helperbot-2000 less ‘combat stealth’ and more lole enemies being drawn to the sound of your gunfire, instead of actually knowing your exact position as soon as stealth is brokeb
Return is horseshit to play unless you patch the fuck out of it cause this isn't 2001 and the 2009 reboot is harder than golden turds to find anywhere, afaik
@@benjaminzarkhin1293 if you've played quake 3, it feels too much like it. Which isn't right. And I always have trouble with the maze like levels. It's easier for me to play wolf 3d than return.
For some reason, when a video is longer than 1h I’m much more inclined to click on it. I just love having something to listen to while doing something else (like cooking or going for a walk)
TNC felt like it was written by 2 different people with vastly different ideas of the game that hated esch other. Youngblood proved the wrong writer won.
The guy with the eye patch and broken feet in Deathshead's Compound (1946) is Prendergast. Prendergast was the one who triggered the "You ain't got no churches in England?" exchange with "Blondie," the snarky British Paratrooper. He did survive getting launched out of the incinerator room window at the end of the chapter, in addition to the fall into the Baltic Sea by fortune of being nearest to Fergus/Wyatt. His room can be found in the Berlin Safehouse, adorned with Christian paraphernalia. Fergus/Wyatt will make a comment about how they made mistakes in Blazkowicz absence, and sent him off on a mission where he never returned.
Really great observation, I had no idea that was his room but looking back it's obvious since Prendergast was shouting about reading his bible and such before jumping out of the incinerator
For the game's defense at 2:00:56 , the enigma machine was one of the most powerful encryption device of this time, and yet the nasties were dumb enough to put "heil h*tler" in each of their messages, and its part of what helped Alan Turing to decypher it !
What's known as a "known plaintext attack" in today's jargon. The other one that helped was one of the first messages of the day would begin with "wetterbericht"... the daily weather report.
The answer for why you didn't originally notice with Youngblood is simple, you were playing with a friend, even the worst of games are fun with a friend and you can shoot the shit about bad/stupid things Honestly i think these games are a good example of the decline in quality for many game studios in general over the years
Can confirm, i played through Borderlands 3 with a friend and it was a lot more bearable when it was the two of us just laughing at what i generously call "The Story"
They kinda did. Like that part from RTCW with that X Labs and Ubersoldiers did happen in the reboot continuity (the escape from castle Wolfenstein and zombie part in the catacombs were remade in the Old Blood). They even stopped the D-Day with their own made tech. It was only when they finally got that jewish tech is when they actually were starting to winning the war.
@@squirrelsyrup1921 Kinda feels like it. There are better ways of going about that. But people of that political persuasion aren't known for not being dumbasses.
The rapid downfall of the Wolfenstein reboot series can be summed up by this cliche and overused phrase: "Go woke, go broke." I hate to use such a cliche phrase, but it's true in this instance.
The problem I have with New Colossus is while Wolfenstein has always been over the top; something I love about it. New Colossus takes it way way too far. To the point where using drones to recover and reattach our main characters severed head so he can fly to Venus! it makes the realistic threat of the Nazi's feel overly clownish.
Yeah I'm for sci-fi but when they go too far they lose me. I guess cause the first one is more believable is cause its more stuff we have done. Like gone too the moon or have robots. Yes it's still sci-fi and unbelievable but its not too far. also I love how they explained all the advanced tech with the whole secret Jewish lairs
@@tiffanywyatt5137"all nahtzee tech is Jewish" is a bullshit plot point. They are evil AND smart, that's the whole deal. Retconning it into this is dumb.
@@tiffanywyatt5137 I think the whole Jewish super tech was actually one of the worst decisions they ever made. The Kreisau Circle were apparently a cabal of select Jewish elite running the world from behind the scenes and had super tech that they deliberately concealed from everyone else to keep themselves powerful? And considering the Nazis got a lot of their tech from finding said super tech, means that the nazis had an actual legit reason to hate since they found everyone was being secretly manipulated from the shadows. Why on Earth would they do this?
I distinctly remember my favourite moment from Wolfenstein 2 TNC Its not the Courtroom battle. Its not the ending. Its none of the flashbacks or overly long cutscenes Its when Super Spesh gets domed by Frau Engel. I kid you not, I was so annoyed by that Marvel Capeshit tier character that the moment he got a rapid cranial surgery by the Head Nasty, I celebrated out loud and yelled "FINALLY!" Don't think that's the reaction the Devs wanted. But its what they got
@sirpaillasson2671 His wife was really unlikeable. But I can’t forget me smiling when he couldn’t help himself from getting off track just to go back to talking about aliens again. I loved the fact that secret military base was in Roswell.
I think what made wolf 2 go down into the pooper was the fact it was legit just marvel tier writing. and also the writers fetish disguised as a naked pregnant women covered in blood shooting. and the lack luster ending boss fight.
@@arshiaaghaei it kinda sucks how wolfenstein tnc was never as good as wolfenstein tno, yet it had potential, and then it got fucking ruined by the game's horrible ass writing.. Wolfenstein tno had god tier writing compared to wolfenstein tnc's writing.
Hmm… let’s take this extremely somber and emotional game and make it a quirky action-comedy with a cast of zany characters. Everyone knows that Wolfenstein is famous for its humor
It’s a real technique they teach you in the military, they call it box breathing. I remember watching a interview with an ex US marine Ukraine volunteer soldier who talks about it in passing.
@@BioshockDrill I think it's because redditors or atleast the reddit I remember fellate each other to the idea of owning nazis and making marvel quips as they put that Adolf Hitler chud in his place or something
It's a pretty funny and clever gag ngl. Jager is trying to test him, as if he was from Frankfurt he'd have a Hessian dialect, (one that's notoriously hard for foreigners to learn because it slurs words together). BJ, with his terrible German accent is like, I'm hotdog- like he's actually fully aware that he's going to have his accent tested in case he's a spy, and is replying in English sarcastically.
“That was at launch back in 2017. I was a dumbass sixteen year old at the time, now I’m 22…” You didn’t need to make me feel old like that homie, I completely forgot how long ago The New Colossus came out.
What I adore so much about Blazkowicz as a character is that - yes - he is a walking, talking flesh-tank who looks like he gets his daily minerals by munching directly on raw fucking metal, but he is also just incredibly kind, empathetic, and caring. Nothing more badass than kindness backed by strength.
For some reason that first set of jokes made me imagine a nightmare scenario where your life support is hooked up to a game of tetris and if you lose you die.
Cyberpunk does the 'getting stronger' perfectly. You start of struggeling against random goons on the street to slaugtering maxtac (which is like the SWAT team if they did crack, had the full americans military budget for 6 guys and a bit of scifi magic)
Frankly, my biggest issue with the reboot Wolf, was the severe lack of paranormal element. Besides The Old Blood, of course, but that's why it was my favourite from the reboot era. It's not hard to guess, that RTCW was my favourite in the entire serie.
Normal spoken german does not sound agressive. It only is being received as agressive since a psycho was yelling at a microphone from the 1930/40s. And Hollywood was portraying it like that ever since.
Thank you all so much for the support over the year with these Wolfenstein videos!

2 hrs ima save this and come back when im playing destiny
Wolfenstein 2009 anyone?
NC sucked so much shit compared to new order and old blood. Shit was so fucking cringy. Fitting that it got worse with the twin cringelords.
Surprised they didn't give Blazkowicz the Han Solo/Luke Skywalker treatment.
Young blood? What's that?
48:35 YES i do not want to go back to that game because that segment is soooo boring, but clearly i need to push through it
1:23:10 It is actually alfuw, because we can't face Mecha Hitler anymore like on the original game. It would make a epic fight...
Thank you for the history lesson.
1:08 What about Catacomb 3D? Or Hovertank 3D? Those were *before* Wolfenstein 3D and were also created by John Carmack
The worst thing with Youngblood for me was the microtransactions. Why the hell are they even there? Other than the trend that games have to have them at the time.
Some youtubers just stretching to that 8 minute mark 😮💨
what
@owenjones8796 It's a joke because a lot of RUclipsrs stretch the runtime to gain money more money from ad revenue
I think it is 10 now isn't it? Just barely made it!
@@JobeStroud it used to be 10, then got lowered to 8
Can we all agree to pretend that young blood never came out and doesn't exist
Is it really THAT bad tho?
The game really isn’t that bad, the main criticism of it I’ve seen boils down to the game not being edgy enough and the character being annoying which is frequently accompanied by a women le bad sentiment
Yeah, I didn't know it came out until like a year later
@@Schlawg788 tbh the main characters just aren’t that well written or compelling compared to BJ who’s a far more interesting and likeable character and this isn’t even a “woman bad” thing, the main characters in Youngblood just aren’t that good.
@@SleepyMook they’re entertaining and they do the job as main characters
Make BJ survive being beheaded, then make Wolfenstein game where he isn't the mc.
It makes sense if you realize everything after the beheading is a last hallucination.
like the ending of Dumbo, or Brazil, or the ending of Observe + Report
Like where he is the robot with the twin machine guns instead of hitler.
@@trevalyan006 Just got into Wolfenstein again, just completed all the 3 games, what are you on about?
@@trevalyan006 no. He was successfully augmented
The big robot in Wolfenstein 1's opening is able to be killed, but you can't stop shooting the anti air cannon or it'll manage to get a shot off.
You actually just need to wait and shoot it in the eye when it charges like when you fight the boss later in the story
And you can take out some of the bunkers on the cliffs also. I do all that stuff every time I play the mission. I like to think it helps the allies just get a little bit closer
@@Man77772 man.
Wait that was optional?
@@Man77772 You can even take out some of the German jet fighters with the AA cannon if they get close enough
I love Frau Engel as a character, she's such a vile, unhinged and scary antagonist. Absolutely pure evil, and she's believable in the setting even though she's practically a cartoon.
In The New Order, absolutely. In The New Colossus, I guess it goes along with the overall cartoon-ish feeling.
hillary clinton on her least unhinged day lol
It's the kind of person that would climb the rank of that kind of regime, no sympathy, remorse and allat, kinda like what deaths head said
@@pavelcizik4237 no lol. Not even actual nazis were that cartoonishly evil. The game kinda sucks at the story and the what if scenario.
How is she a cartoon lol. She seems like any old lady to me
8:00 actually this is incorrect. Wolfenstein: TNO has a ‘combat stealth’ mechanic, where enemies have to really on sound or visuals in order to detect you. If you use your suppressed pistol during loud sections, enemies will have a much harder time tracking your location.
Also the supressed pistol, with maxed skills, and while ADSing, does more damage than the Marksman Rifle. If you shoot fast enough, you can stealth kill Supersoldaten
@@moonmoon4537 no way, really??
@@Helperbot-2000 less ‘combat stealth’ and more lole enemies being drawn to the sound of your gunfire, instead of actually knowing your exact position as soon as stealth is brokeb
@@moonmoon4537 cool!
@@moonmoon4537 It was clunky and bad, only existed to pad out gameplay.
Aaand... Every one forgot about Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein Enemy Territory :(
+ Wolfenstein 2009 got nuked
BJ keeps talking about "revisting Deathshead", like there's a game missing even before TOB. I kind of want it.
Return is horseshit to play unless you patch the fuck out of it cause this isn't 2001 and the 2009 reboot is harder than golden turds to find anywhere, afaik
@@walktroughman1952
RtCW is still good as fuck, so is Enemy Territory.
@@benjaminzarkhin1293 if you've played quake 3, it feels too much like it. Which isn't right. And I always have trouble with the maze like levels. It's easier for me to play wolf 3d than return.
For some reason, when a video is longer than 1h I’m much more inclined to click on it. I just love having something to listen to while doing something else (like cooking or going for a walk)
Yters usually put more effort into longer vids. At least that’s what I noticed
TNC felt like it was written by 2 different people with vastly different ideas of the game that hated esch other. Youngblood proved the wrong writer won.
And where have we seen that before? Oh right, Disney's Star Wars.
Youngblood wasn't even made by Machine Games it was made by Arkane Lyon
They're called Jens Matthies and Tommy Tordsson Björk, lol. Björk did write for NO and OB though, so blame Matthies.
The guy with the eye patch and broken feet in Deathshead's Compound (1946) is Prendergast.
Prendergast was the one who triggered the "You ain't got no churches in England?" exchange with "Blondie," the snarky British Paratrooper. He did survive getting launched out of the incinerator room window at the end of the chapter, in addition to the fall into the Baltic Sea by fortune of being nearest to Fergus/Wyatt.
His room can be found in the Berlin Safehouse, adorned with Christian paraphernalia. Fergus/Wyatt will make a comment about how they made mistakes in Blazkowicz absence, and sent him off on a mission where he never returned.
Really great observation, I had no idea that was his room but looking back it's obvious since Prendergast was shouting about reading his bible and such before jumping out of the incinerator
For the game's defense at 2:00:56 , the enigma machine was one of the most powerful encryption device of this time, and yet the nasties were dumb enough to put "heil h*tler" in each of their messages, and its part of what helped Alan Turing to decypher it !
I didn't know that and just shows hitlers ego was a cause of another failure
@@tiffanywyatt5137 a lot of the nasties failures were caused by hitler's ego and arrogance. Luckily for us.
@@anonymysableMuch like in our timeline
What's known as a "known plaintext attack" in today's jargon. The other one that helped was one of the first messages of the day would begin with "wetterbericht"... the daily weather report.
The answer for why you didn't originally notice with Youngblood is simple, you were playing with a friend, even the worst of games are fun with a friend and you can shoot the shit about bad/stupid things
Honestly i think these games are a good example of the decline in quality for many game studios in general over the years
Can confirm, i played through Borderlands 3 with a friend and it was a lot more bearable when it was the two of us just laughing at what i generously call "The Story"
Remember that Nazis didn't make their technology in Wolfenstein but found ancient Jewish tech
Irl?
They kinda did. Like that part from RTCW with that X Labs and Ubersoldiers did happen in the reboot continuity (the escape from castle Wolfenstein and zombie part in the catacombs were remade in the Old Blood). They even stopped the D-Day with their own made tech. It was only when they finally got that jewish tech is when they actually were starting to winning the war.
@@BaranZenon It is unknown when the nazis actually get the da'at yichud technology. They could have gotten it before 1946.
@@BaranZenon what fucking bullshit is this
no wonder it failed
that is one of if not THE worst part of bullshit they tried pushing
It pains me to see how hard the wolfenstien reboot series fell off. I just don't understand how it happened so fast.
They had to make sequels quickly, and lots of them. The purpose of an IP is to tell people that orange man is bad.
@@squirrelsyrup1921 Kinda feels like it. There are better ways of going about that. But people of that political persuasion aren't known for not being dumbasses.
Jerk Gustafsson was lead designer on WtnO and WtOB. Youngblood was also co-developed by the sorry shell of Arkane.
@@GangsterFrankensteinComputer Harvey Smith has never made a good game.
The rapid downfall of the Wolfenstein reboot series can be summed up by this cliche and overused phrase: "Go woke, go broke."
I hate to use such a cliche phrase, but it's true in this instance.
The problem I have with New Colossus is while Wolfenstein has always been over the top; something I love about it. New Colossus takes it way way too far. To the point where using drones to recover and reattach our main characters severed head so he can fly to Venus! it makes the realistic threat of the Nazi's feel overly clownish.
Yeah I'm for sci-fi but when they go too far they lose me. I guess cause the first one is more believable is cause its more stuff we have done. Like gone too the moon or have robots. Yes it's still sci-fi and unbelievable but its not too far. also I love how they explained all the advanced tech with the whole secret Jewish lairs
@@tiffanywyatt5137"all nahtzee tech is Jewish" is a bullshit plot point. They are evil AND smart, that's the whole deal. Retconning it into this is dumb.
@@tiffanywyatt5137 I think the whole Jewish super tech was actually one of the worst decisions they ever made. The Kreisau Circle were apparently a cabal of select Jewish elite running the world from behind the scenes and had super tech that they deliberately concealed from everyone else to keep themselves powerful? And considering the Nazis got a lot of their tech from finding said super tech, means that the nazis had an actual legit reason to hate since they found everyone was being secretly manipulated from the shadows. Why on Earth would they do this?
New Colossus story wasn't as good, but It's by far the best gameplay wise out of the 4 games.
Well nazis are ridiculous. Fascism is so inherently ridiculous with its uniforms and ideas that... Its not THAT bad
I distinctly remember my favourite moment from Wolfenstein 2 TNC
Its not the Courtroom battle. Its not the ending. Its none of the flashbacks or overly long cutscenes
Its when Super Spesh gets domed by Frau Engel. I kid you not, I was so annoyed by that Marvel Capeshit tier character that the moment he got a rapid cranial surgery by the Head Nasty, I celebrated out loud and yelled "FINALLY!"
Don't think that's the reaction the Devs wanted. But its what they got
You know creators f*cked up hard when people are routing for f*cking Nazis.
Bro he wasnt that Bad 💀
But I liked him :(
@sirpaillasson2671 His wife was really unlikeable. But I can’t forget me smiling when he couldn’t help himself from getting off track just to go back to talking about aliens again. I loved the fact that secret military base was in Roswell.
This is your brain on drugs
I think what made wolf 2 go down into the pooper was the fact it was legit just marvel tier writing. and also the writers fetish disguised as a naked pregnant women covered in blood shooting. and the lack luster ending boss fight.
all the bossfights in wolf- tnc were dogshit compared to wolf, tno
Wolf 2 was a serious downhill for the genre and it saddens me how many people think it's good. Compared to TNO/TOB it's a joke.
@@arshiaaghaei it kinda sucks how wolfenstein tnc was never as good as wolfenstein tno, yet it had potential, and then it got fucking ruined by the game's horrible ass writing.. Wolfenstein tno had god tier writing compared to wolfenstein tnc's writing.
Not true, it was okay.
@@jedziej Barely
Hmm… let’s take this extremely somber and emotional game and make it a quirky action-comedy with a cast of zany characters. Everyone knows that Wolfenstein is famous for its humor
Modern IPs rapidly become famous for their tumour.
And still it could've worked if it was done well
Didn't need to be tone shifted AND dogshit too
They immediately tried to make the game appeal to millennials and zoomers
Wolfenstein 3D was a really goofy game tho. If anything they were retuning to their roots
The count to four inhale exhale thing is an actual trick I was thought in therapy
It’s a real technique they teach you in the military, they call it box breathing. I remember watching a interview with an ex US marine Ukraine volunteer soldier who talks about it in passing.

51:47 it's that high brow German humor. This was simply BJ earning the Nasty's trust by making a hilarious German joke.
It's a pretty funny and clever gag ngl.
Jager is trying to test him, as if he was from Frankfurt he'd have a Hessian dialect, (one that's notoriously hard for foreigners to learn because it slurs words together). BJ, with his terrible German accent is like, I'm hotdog- like he's actually fully aware that he's going to have his accent tested in case he's a spy, and is replying in English sarcastically.

What I adore so much about Blazkowicz as a character is that - yes - he is a walking, talking flesh-tank who looks like he gets his daily minerals by munching directly on raw fucking metal, but he is also just incredibly kind, empathetic, and caring. Nothing more badass than kindness backed by strength.
For some reason that first set of jokes made me imagine a nightmare scenario where your life support is hooked up to a game of tetris and if you lose you die.
Cyberpunk does the 'getting stronger' perfectly. You start of struggeling against random goons on the street to slaugtering maxtac (which is like the SWAT team if they did crack, had the full americans military budget for 6 guys and a bit of scifi magic)
Frankly, my biggest issue with the reboot Wolf, was the severe lack of paranormal element. Besides The Old Blood, of course, but that's why it was my favourite from the reboot era.
It's not hard to guess, that RTCW was my favourite in the entire serie.
Normal spoken german does not sound agressive. It only is being received as agressive since a psycho was yelling at a microphone from the 1930/40s. And Hollywood was portraying it like that ever since.
I love Wolfenstein cause you can play as a Jewish man who teams up with Jimi Hendrix to fight Nazis. Perfection.
fucking cursed, absolutely disgusting degeneracy.
Isn’t only his mom a Jew but even then he doesn’t believe in Judaism.
