my video froze when you were talking about the engine's performance and legitimately thought it was a gag in the video.

Listening to the nazi's talking about random stuff in the background is literally my favourite part of all the wolfenstein games. It's so good.

I love that BJ is both a killing machine and a deeply sensitve and contemplative man. Makes you think what kind of man he could have been in a less fucked up world.

I love how despite how comically evil some of the villains are, a baffling amount of Nazis are humanized through their dialogue that plays if you don’t immediately kill them. You of course have your standard dialogue talking about killing the undesirables and locking up prisoners, crushing opposition under an iron boot. But so many others are just ordinary people. One wonders if it’s right to be part of the Nazi party when he’s a Christian. Another wonders why there’s rebellions because he genuinely believes they’re doing the right thing and bringing peace to the world post-war. They talk about their families. Sometimes they joke around with each other. A commandant sits on the edge of a ruined bridge that you wreck and stares into the horizon, and I firmly believe he’s thinking about what the Reich has been doing and if he’s been in the wrong this whole time. It’s great worldbuilding in a setting that might seem almost comical at first, and it makes sense given the differing stances of German citizens under the Reich during WW2 in real life. It’s amazing, and I wish more WW2 games would do that.

The New Colossus is only six hours long. But it definitely isn't good for six hours. Bloody New York level.

When I first played The New Order, I described it to my friend as "stunningly well directed".
When I first played The New Colossus, I described it to my friend as "batshit insane".

It's ok to release a bit late, you didn't have to break your mother's arm.

"BJ only speaks when being seen through a camera" Well I remember him talking to himself constantly in the new order. From the opening prologue, to when you use the Nazi water glider in the flooded sections where he recounts part of his childhood, I felt I was in his brain. I dunno if you meant physically speaking to people, but you absolutely hear his voice outside of cutscenes

New Order is honestly one of my favorite games of all time, I love to hear other perspectives on the game.

The first Serious Sam actually has some pretty beautiful temple-scapes, I might even describe it as majestic and relatively uncovered

Oh boy, wonder how you will feel about Youngblood.

The Old Blood is cool but The New Order is a blast to play. TNC was extremely underwhelming, they put so much effort into it and amplified every aspect of the game that they forgot to actually see if it's fun to play.

My favorite part of the Wolfenstein games, excluding the amazing gunplay, is the world itself. All the developers had to do was make a world where the Nazis won the war but they blew it out of the park! The use of the German language in everything from signs on walls, enemies speaking to each other, and even the soundtrack through collectible pop songs in German is down right mind blowing. It along with the imagery and symbolism adds to the authenticity of the game world that keeps drawing me into the world of Wolfenstein. As a German American, it is a treat to see the use of both American and German influence on this dystopian world of Nazi tyranny. Another part I like is that despite it being in the world of science fiction, the world seems grounded in mostly reality. The super soldiers clank around in heavy metal suits, and in the case of old blood require actual power sources. The guns are great as well and overall this series is by far my most important to me. I am so excited to see how the developers finish this series but until then I have another Wolfenstein marathon to play all the way through. Thank you and I loved the video, keep up the most spectacular work!

One thing that I love about Wolfenstein is that it humanizes the Nazis. You read notes and overhear their conversations about their families, their friends, how some of them actually feel horrible for what they're doing. Then you meet up with ex-Nazis and the daughter of a main villain working with the resistance. The game also makes it clear that not every enemy you shoot is some concentration camp mad scientist or a war criminal, a lot of them are just security guards, scientists, or at times people who took that job to AVOID committing atrocities, only to end up guarding that one piece of paper essential for the resistance. Even the comically evil villains have things they loved like their pet dogs. I actually wondered how many of these faceless mooks I mowed down could have turned to the resistance had things been different.  

That's what I think you should handle enemies like the Nazis. Not think of them as an otherworldly evil, but think "My God, they were human. Humans did this." That's the only real way to learn from the past, to understand the banality of evil.

The New Colossus feels that it was made by different developers...

2:26 This is literally what they did with Youngblood.

Glad you mom is okay my dude. Family first, all else second.

TNC gameplay was frustrating. Getting killed during takedown animations, being unable to fast swap weapons when using dual wield guns and missions you have to grind.
Also TOB and TNO gave you the feeling that the nazi regime was strong, evil, coldblooded and scary to stand up against. TNC just portrays them as dumb, silly and passive, like  it was obvious a group of rebels could outmaneuver them.

i remember skipping school for two day when new order released just to play it. what a phenomenal game
