8/10 for this!
I've seen it all now.
Unless the score is based on the question.....
Will this game ruin the Wolfenstien brand.... YES...there's an 8/10 chance that this will ruin it.
I wouldn't read anything into it. While I believe there are commercial pressures on the likes of IGN not to do big titles down too much, there's no way that is the case here. With every bad game comes a handful of people that like it. Likely the reviewer was one of those people. Fair play to him.
I used to be editor of 3 UK newsstand games magazines, no less, and have seen corruption levelled at reviewers plenty of times without cause. Some people like games other people don't like. Some people hate games everyone else likes. It's subjective.
Interestingly this happened with Colossus too. I tried it and was really disappointed with how badly it played. Even simple things like a visual indication of damage (red colour shift) are missing so you have to try and watch the health meter in the middle of combat. Also I felt like I was being trolled by the story at times. Yet the reviews said it was great.There is a huge disparity between reviewers' experience and the general public on this title. A lot of reviewers rating it highly, most users calling it trash. Having watched a few vids on it, I'm falling on the side of trash. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, mind.
well just finished this thanks to a random player joining my game who was level 89 that enabled me to complete the last mission couldnt have done it otherwise way too difficult.
overall the worst of the 4 recent wolfenstein games and it seems to have right messed up the overarching plot there seems to have been an entire game missed out because of things that happen between Wolfenstein new colossus and youngblood
