Erratic got a reaction from Em' in Wolfenstein Returns?
Just starting replaying a few missions for fun on death incarnate. I booted up the asylum level and it took me 3 minutes to get to Anya outside and end the level. Incredible looking level, fun little layout for what's there, and it took me 3 minutes. This is the shit that breaks my heart.
Should have been like a 5 story death stroll down to the bottom into the courtyard but it probably wouldn't fit in memory on 360 or some shit so fuck it, some cut scene and 3 min gun fight. AAA development fuck yeah.
I mean I'm not even criticizing the game, I've made shit for games with the same problem, large scope level in your stupid head, ultimately end up chopping that shit into 4 chunks so the console doesn't crash the fuck out and you end up with a less than ideal disjointed level flow. Then you play dota for 10 hours a day to ease the pain.

Erratic reacted to PaulH in Wolfenstein Returns?
Just finished playing this, really enjoyed it, the best straight up FPS I've played in quite a few years. I liked the exploratory level design with the number of secrets to be found, the characters and the gunplay (after playing so much COD over recent years it's nice to once again have a game where enemies explode satisfyingly). If I had to pick fault with it I'd say I didn't like the way the cutscenes were integrated - the scenes themselves were cool but the whole 'press button to initiate cutscene' thing was quite obvious and immersion breaking - would have been nice to have more interactive scenes.
That, and the level of polish that seemed apparent in the early levels seemed to fall by the wayside somewhat. Examples would be how in the first proper level I found an AA gun and saw a large robot walking nearby, and decided to see what would happen if I used the AA gun to shoot it. Turns out you can destroy it, leading to a congratulatory response from one of your team. This was cool because it was totally incidental and didn't tie into anything mission related or even trophy/achievement based. Another time I found a car in a garage and got into the driver seat, where BJ started making car noises and pretending to drive it. I found switches on a wall which I started messing with and eventually had a nearby cabinet move to one side and reveal a secret room. All these things were awesome, but as the game went on they became less and less frequent - I don't remember anything similar in the last half of the game at least and the levels started to seem a bit more linear.
I also wasn't a fan of the train yard or sewer levels, I feel like I've been in those environments far too many times in FPS games now and I appreciated Wolfenstein more when it was taking me to places that weren't so ordinary. Overall though, great game that was at times funny, inventive and never really got boring. Great job by DKM and the Machinegames guys.

Erratic got a reaction from Grinwhrl in Arnold and Sly movies etc
I thought this was a new thread about their movies in general but it's just about the terrible recent shit.
Now I have to go watch tango and cash for a good rocky movie

Erratic got a reaction from Algor in The Last of Us
Gameplay is very good in the last of us. Don't mix it up with uncharted as the mediocre gameplay/good story cut scene game
also play on Hard you little bitches. Don't be that dude who plays Halo on Normal and wonders why the game is boring. Some games actually design with difficulty levels in mind.

Erratic got a reaction from Pericolos0 in What are you playing now?
have they tried kickstarting a 3d version for more exposure maybe hire a writer from another industry like neil gaimen to flesh out some strong female characters, like a sexy brooding elf archer. Maybe a toony artstyle as a stretch goal and hire an art director from ubisoft to get that job done right
