Wolfenstein The New Colossus

I must be really insensitive to textures or something if that's the case because to me this looks awesome at 3440x1440.

I've not played this one though I have the others, but sometimes I think it comes down to the type of textures/artistic direction/engine. Some games have a more 'detailed' or grainy look, whereas something like this has a softer image.

Around 4 hours in.

Not really a fan of how they keep calling various members of the crew "white boy" and how BJ refers to the Nazi's once or twice as "White Scum". Apart from these little SJW agendas the game is really good so far!
 
Strange thing happening to me today with the game. So installed the latest 17.11.1 AMD drivers today and when I fired up Wolfenstein it keeps locking the refresh rate of my monitor to 60Hz. The game is still running at 100+ FPS though. When I alt-tab out and set the refresh rate back to 75Hz via Window settings, it reverts straight back to 60Hz when I bring Wolfenstein back up again. No other game is affected. Anyone else experienced anything similar?
 
Where are the side quests? I'm just doing main mission as I progress through the story.

Also, a major spoiler:

I just completed the part where Hitler is ******* and puking all over the place, and the woman stands in it at one point. Dark humour :p

Hopefully not a spoiler, but the Enegima codes you been collectiong after killing commanders, when you can access the Enigma machine in the uboat, then you can decifer them and that gives you the side quests that @Midlife Crisis talking about.
 
All the hate this game is getting on the steam forums by people who do not own it, WTF is going on, best game of the year by far, not perfect but running good for me
Makes me want to play though the New Order and Old blood again
Every time I start a new area I try to be stealthy, eff it up and go full Rambo, makes me laugh

You can't a review if don't own the game can you?
I have a game on gog, went to review on steam & it wouldn't let me do anything.
Perhaps those are from folk that refunded it?
 
I had and have a few technical issues with this game. Firstly the crash dump one which the latest nvidia drivers fixed on start up, but strangely I still get it if I bring up task manager to escape to desktop. Also graphics wise on the odd huge explosion I get a black polygon where it is not filled in. Nothing is a biggy though in the general scheme of things, certainly not like when rage came out with ATI cards.

The game follows on well from the first two. Now completed it on easiest setting just to get the storyline out and the story is still very strong, if not more so. Love the cutscenes, do not often say that. Characters fantastic still ,funny and horrific moments.

For the actual game play it seems harder now to do stealth, so I will need to practice a bit more. I can see why on harder settings the F5 key comes in handy, perhaps there should have been a setting just above Uber where F5 key disabled. Weapons still all good, I like the upgrade paths and the enemies nicely varied and balanced. Level design does seem a bit linear and "samey" but then I have been playing Far Cry 4 just before. A couple more levels in the country would have been good.

As for the graphics, in the whole very nice. I do think the face features, seem to have regressed somewhat and I expected a bigger leap to this new ID engine (not having got a game using it before), Hair seems to have a funny frizzy jaggy look, which I thought might be drivers? In the whole though pretty good.

BJ is such a tough all action hero as well. They should make an Action man of him with gripping hands, moving eyes and detachable head :D
 
I don’t suppose anyon could do me a favour and upload their game save file for me ? I played about 12 hours of this only to have my flat mate choose “new game” and wipe all my progress !
