So Wolfenstein: The New Order is going to be released soon for PC on Steam.

I was considering getting it, but decided to check some of the playthroughs. The graphics look pretty good, but it looks like a railshooter. The gameplay appears to be insanely linear, really turned me off from buying it. Also I noticed images of new weapons you pickup flash up explaining how to use them, horrible design.

How do you guys feel? Anyone plan to purchase it or already pre-purchased it?

Also I don't see multiplayer listed, so it's basically $60 for a linear single player campaign...

Looks like it's going to be a pass for me, maybe pick it up for $5-$10 in a couple years just to see if I was right. I'm getting really annoyed that most of the single player games are so linear. I want smart AI, I want levels that can be explored, I don't want set paths.

Thoughts?

When it goes on sale, I'll get it. Not made of money and $60 for a game is really something I should not be spending, sadly. I have all the other Wolfensteins, even the one pulled from Steam. I'll get this one eventually. Really excited about it!

I heard that is from Bethesda, which is the same developer of Skyrim. So, I definitely WON'T buy it.

I must be missing some kinda gamer politics here. Please explain? Or is this a joke that flew over my head?

Though the gameplay is grand, their games have the reputation to be very buggy. Some people have certain patience that may not be able to tolerate them over the gameplay, which to my understanding is worth it even without mods. shrugs

Yeah but this is not made by them, its published, I played it, its not buggy actually, has a bit of pop in but its nowhere near as bad a problem as in Rage. It's not even made on a Bethesda engine, it doesn't have the bugs that Bethesda games are known for(These idiots need to make a new engine and stop rewriting over an old buggy one IMO).

Understood. Thanks for the education. I think I read somewhere about the bugs in Fallout 3 but though I own that one, I started playing FNV first, and haven't finished that one yet. I guess I'll find out when I get to FO3.

Bethesda was the publisher.

Not the developer. In other words, they did not make the game, they merely put it out for sale.

Why do people always get this sort of thing mixed up?

Don't think that publishers have no role in why games are what they are. Look at EA's shit. They do not even do much in the way of developing if at all, but all their games tend to have the same problems. Why? They are the guys that tell the devs what to do, how to do it, and how fast they have to do it. Because of this, a lot of EA's games are a buggy, poorly thought out, mess. As for Bethesda, I did not know that about the game. I just said what I know, that is their reputation.

Looks like an interesting shooter, but still just that for me sadly - pure shooters aren't ranked that high in my interests so I'll get it when it goes 75% off.

After seeing what people who already have Watch Dogs are saying about it, it is somewhat true now

wolfenstein is a lot of fun, but it is absolutely not well optimized. texture popping almost as bad as in Rage (mega-textures my ass!), while having some extremely low-res textures. constant frame drops (which should not happen on my system). and as far as i've heard pretty heavy problems with AMD cards.

Why do people complain about this but not BioShock: Infinite? BS:I was a shorter game anyway and was to me, not as good or on par with this.
