dkirschner's Return to Castle Wolfenstein (PC)

[July 12, 2016 07:59:31 PM]

Ugh, 15-year-old FPS. It was fun for a while, but after 2 hours, it's just turned into me save abusing. Kill a room, save, kill a room, save, die, reload, kill an enemy, save, die, reload, etc. The story is ridiculous, as Wolfenstein should be, and it's way more difficult than I thought. Maybe I should have put it on the easiest difficulty. Oh well.

All the guns so far feel about the same to shoot. You just run and jump and crouch. No cover at all. The AI is really dumb. They'll just charge straight at you, run out of cover and stand there, and so on. I think that's why it's hard in part is because there's nowhere for me to run either in some of these open areas. And they hit hard, and there isn't a lot of health or ammo lying around. I had to use an ammo cheat!

I also had to use a health cheat once! I'd saved the game before this door, and when you open the door, you get hit with a sniper round for 20 damage. I had less health than that and so I died about 20 times before I got pissed off and looked up cheats. The funny thing? After I used the health cheat, I ran through the door, and the sniper didn't shoot. Funnier thing? I ran back that way after hitting a dead end, and got sniped and died. But thanks to the health cheat, I hacked my way past the sniper again.

Right now I'm fighting some super female soldiers and they are kicking my ass too. There are three of them in a big open room and I just can't handle them. I mean, more practice, sure, but I'm not having fun. I'm sure this was great in 2001, but not now. The game feels soooo dated. At least it's not like when I tried to replay Duke Nukem and realized that it was made before you could look up and down in FPSes. Haha, that sucked.
