I meant user reviews. I know that those reviews are bought and paid for.
Is it dying on Steam?

People are bombing the reviews on steam, but that is almost exclusively related to technical issues with some salty alt righters mixed in, rather than to game itself.
In the end, you can look at the user reviews for yourself and see.

That would mean I give a fuck about this game enough to waste time and research things. Just no. I would rather play Stalker Call of Chernobyl mod than do that.

Even slapdicks who threw $60 down the drain on a game that will be $20 in January -all because Twitter told them how “woke” it is - concede it has gameplay issues:

- No / inconsistent feedback when taking damage (I’ll add myself that the weapons all appear to be hitscan, so while idiots role-playing as antifa won’t understand, anyone with FPS experience will know how this can be a big problem).
- Levels that are even more linear than its predecessor.
- Higher difficulty levels aren’t hard so much as obnoxious. Challenge mostly comes from dying in one or two shots.

And this all before you realize it’s a 10 hour game with 3 hours of cutscenes, no multiplayer, and no appreciable replay value other than bumping up the difficulty or replaying missions for collectibles.

I guess VICE said it’s one of the most important games of the year though, so if kicking $60 to a multinational corporation is just as strong a protest to you as kicking over a trash can at the next rally, go ahead and stick it to some Nazis.

Only fps that comes close to old school is shadow warrior and a few indi games/mods. All the rest is a shit pretending to be old school.
If you mean SW 2013, only in gunplay and encounter design, as there's xp, progression and stuff like that.

I can't believe people are taking these satirical reviews seriously.
They're actually god-damn serious. Now Inquisishit's...

The tenor of the reviews I remember was like "buy this shit fantastic game or you'll be responsible for the end of single player story driven games and are a bad person because you don't want to punch nazis".

Yeah right :roll:
Well I guess it goes backs to the political message since you Mynon like it. I forgot that something that toe the line must get unconditional praise.

..... give me a break.

Funny thing is that this game was written and performance captured in 2015/2016, that whole story campaign has probably been locked down since the start of this year.

Pffft, right. Even if TEW 2 is a much better case to support than this cringefest piece of ÜberScheiße.

First one was mediocre. This one looks even worse.

One of these days I'm going to give up on modern gaming entirely, reluctantly. There's more than enough great old games, as well as decent mods being released for them.

He basically whines that BJ dies too fast and that the games is true hard, which in his eyes means that the gameplay is bad. Why play an old school shooter on higher difficulty and then complain about something like that?
