I Bought Wolfy

Filed under Video Games by Paul "Tunnleram" Ille on November 1st, 2009

I eventually broke down and bought Wolfenstein after the price went down. It’s ok. I haven’t finished it yet, but I did make a post in the forums about what I saw so far. I’m curious if someone else agrees with my comments. Here’s some points I brought up.

hit boxes. why are the hit boxes on the enemies so poor? I can shoot someone’s arm as it hangs around the corner and it acts like I never shot it.
am I using veil or mirk? it’s very hard to tell what special power you’re using or if you’re using more than one power at the same time
if I have to hear “that’s the spy!” one more time I think I’ll go nuts. the game needs more voiceovers or that one is just annoying
intelligence is useless. I never read it. They didn’t make it necessary to the game and therefor it doesn’t factor in
the BJ reports at the ends of levels are fairly annoying. why do I need to listen to a representation of myself tell me about what I just did. I know what I did!
running in the game makes me feel like tossing my cookies
the game feels a bit cheesy and it’s not immersive so far
the rpg like multiple objective setup doesn’t seem to be appealing to me
those enemies that are invisible, show themselves and kill you in two swipes are silly. It’s very difficult to see them for one, but they are far too powerful compared to the other enemies I’ve encountered
I originally thought buying weapon upgrades would suck, but I kinda like it actually.
