Why is everyone still playing Wolfenstein: The New Order?

Destructoid: "Coming off of E3 this year, I started to notice something. Every time I logged on to Steam or PSN somebody I knew was playing Wolfenstein: The New Order. Every single time. Who could blame them?"

[UCForce]

Well, killing Nazi is never get old in Wolfenstein series. I can't wait for the sequel.

[CorndogBurglar]

@CarnageGRastro

No dude. Calling them GERMANS would be a blanket statement implying that all Germans were following the Nazi Regime.

You aren't killing simpmy Germans in Wolfenstein. You are killing Nazis. There's a difference.

[CarnageGRAstro]

they were. Nazis DID NOT came from outer space... What happend? In 50/60 WWII movies they WERE GERMANS... nowadays we hear "Nazis" ;)

"Hitler’s approval ratings were in the 90th percentile in 1940–41"
Joe Kalinowski, former Professor at Dalhousie University

[RememberThe357]

Nazis were German, Germans are not Nazis. This is not complex.

[CorndogBurglar]

@ CarnageGRAstro

What is so hard to comprehend here? Even your quote you added proves you wrong. Even if Hitler's approval rating was in the 90th percentile that means there were still some Germans that DID NOT APPROVE. Which, in turn, means that not all Germans were Nazis.

And you can talk about what movies in the 50's and 60's called them all day long. Thats obviously something to hang your argument on, right? Because movies back then were always 100% accurate, right? Lol

Again, this is not a hard concept to grasp.

[porkChop]

Because it's a really great game. It's that simple.

[Summons75]

It was a good game and the excitement behind the announcement of the sequel has people wanting to go back.

[TheUberAsian]

Is the game worth picking up at the current price? Never had an interest until seeing the new Wolfenstein game at E3 2017.

[FPS_D3TH]

Yes. Same with the metro games. Both great single player games

[Vanfernal]

Totally agree. Wolfenstein was great, and Metro are some of my favorite games on recent memory. And you can usually get them both for less than $15.

[EatCrow]

Still remember when I played for the first time metro 2033...the original release. So much for the argument of tired fps genre.

[FPS_D3TH]

I still need to finish this game. Single player games don't take much priority anymore.

[FPS_D3TH]

Lol at the disagrees. It's how I prioritize games. I can always go back and finish wolfenstein on my time. Multiplayer games have a shelf life. It's fact.

[SgtSlaughter212]

Not sure why you got so uppity over disagrees on some website. It just means that most people who read your comment do indeed prioritize single player over multiplayer.

Contrary to the mob mentality these days, I assure you it's still OK to have differing opinions.

[vegasgamerdawg]

So you're disagreeing with people that're disagreeing with you? How ironic...LOL!

[yeahokwhatever]

weirdly, I end up playing singleplayer games all the way through upon purchase. I understand your point, but I also know that a single player experience is shorter, and something I can hammer out in a day or two. MP games I play, put down, come back to whenever I'm feeling a need for a change of pace.

[FPS_D3TH]

I didn't get uppity. I just explained myself and laughed at the disagrees. If anything you're being uppity by trying to point out something obvious that having different opinions is ok. Why'd you even reply to begin with?

[TheOttomatic91]

Why the fuck not?

[GrimDragon]

The game captures the feel of the original perfectl. updates everything that made the original good and makes them even better. This is how doom should have been done.

[CorndogBurglar]

Doom wasn't that far off from this. What do you mean? Doom was very nostalgic with updates in the right places.

[GrimDragon]

Iam Huge fan of doom. Even bought the doom movie with the rock lol. My beef with the latest doom is that I didn't like the arena feel of the levels. You walk into an area kill a few waves of demons rinse and repeat. It didn't have that exploratory feel like the original. For instance if you got swarmed by demons in the original you could run away all the way to the beginning if you felt like it. But in the new doom you were locked in a room or area until all demons were dealt with. This one aspect just took a lot away for me. It reminded me too much of those wave based games you find on the iPad.

As a result the mystery and dread was diminished a lot for me. The lack of secret areas and the few you did find were meh at best. Other than that yes doom overall was good and much better than the dooms on the old xbones. but I felt it just missed the mark by an inch when it comes to what made the originals so awesome.

Totally looking forward to doom vfr now. But there's this one game that really seems to be inspired by original doom. It's called AGONY that one really has my interest.

[FPS_D3TH]

Yeah idk what you're talking about. Doom was just as awesome as this game was. Both were done properly.

[chris235]

i don't. and none of my 100+ ps4 buddies does so.

[CorndogBurglar]

Well if you and your 100+ friends don't play it then that clearly means there aren't a lot of people still playing it, right?

[Relientk77]

It's awesome and the best single player shooter campaign this generation

[yeahokwhatever]

Doom is the better game, IMO. Wolfenstein is still freaking glorious though. Both are a 10/10 for me.

[FPS_D3TH]

I find dooms game plays more of a rush but the story of wolfenstein is what made it shine. Gave me vibes of half life.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Shooting Nazis in the face is fun.

Now if only someone would make a game were you could shoot slave owners in the face.

[yeahokwhatever]

The game could take place in Africa or the Middle East where slavery is bigger than ever.

[yeahokwhatever]

I'm sorry, 343_guilty_spark, do facts upset you often? Maybe you should talk to a therapist. Sorry. I hope things get better for you soon.

[Der_Kommandant]

Bethesda brought to life with a bang two of the most iconic shooters in history, please let them make Duke Nukem.

[Kallisti]

I've owned The New Order for a while now but that Wolfenstein II trailer encouraged me to finally finish it. Same for Metro: Last Light after the Metro: Exodus trailer.

[Youngindy21]

It was a dope game and I really am looking forward to the New Colossus. I wasn't even expecting it to be that good. Some game store employee recommended it to me and I was like hey what the heck even though I didn't know what the game was about. Like others have said it's one of the better single player FPS games.

[MilkMan]

"Why is everyone still playing Wolfenstein: The New Order?"
They play it cause it's a dope ass game. Robots, Nazi, Ninjas whatever...the game would still be hot.

[mad-dog]

Because it's one of the best shooters ever made.

[shammgod]

Now is the prefect time to brush up on the wolfenstein games and kill many nazis.

[Knushwood Butt]

Started playing it recently, which reminds me, it made me think of Tripods. Anyone remember that? That creeped me out when I was a kid.

[yeahokwhatever]

[Jayszen]

Because the game is very good and killing Nazis will never get boring. I am surprised the writer of this article did not finish the game the first time round. It was the best shooter of 2014 in my opinion.

[sprinterboy]

"Why is everyone still playing wolfeinstein" because they enjoy it. Journalism today lol

[slappy508]

Because your mum recommended it to me

[ChronoJoe]

I don't want to put the game down, it's decent, but it's probably got a lot to do with the game frequently being on sale at a very low price. Regularly these games are on sale for just £2.50 or so on PSN. It's a steal at that price, and I assume sales are similar on steam.

[SCW1982]

Because its so damn good.

[Fist4achin]

It's a fun game with a great story!

[xX1NORM1Xx]

Ive just played it and its stand alone campaign for the first time i fucking loved it £14 for both is a steal dont be put off by the dlc campaign it took me 5 hours to complete. It took me 9 hours for the base game so £1 an hour for me and it was worth so much more absolutaly loved it

[franwex]

I bought the game a few months back but have not played it. I was planning on doing that soon, so you can add me to the few players who are still playing it :P

[frostypants]

"Everyone"? I honestly didn't know anyone was still playing it.

[Tzuno]

Because the gun feeling in this game is insane, how guns sound and the feel they give you when shooting it's very satisfying, on top of that nice graphics, sweet destruction of enemies piece by piece plus awesome sound i'd say we have a winner.

[zpoc]

what happened to destructoid? the writing is so awful now

[PhoenixUp]

Do people need a reason to kill more Nazis

[MrCrabPuss]

...its pretty and fun.
