From GameWatcher: "Wolfenstein: Youngblood, the first co-op title in the series, is finally out. Like other high profile releases, the title does, after all, feature microtransactions which in this case go by the name of Gold Bars.
Gold Bars are one of three currencies in Wolfenstein: Youngblood, and being tied to microtransactions are the only ones you cannot earn in-game. Instead, you're going to have to buy them with real money."
This February, Prime members can claim a fresh lineup of free games, including BioShock Infinite Complete Edition, Surf World Series, AK-xolotl: Together, Sands of Aura, The Talos Principle: Gold Edition, Stunt Kite Party, The Smurfs 2 — The Prisoner of the Green Stone, Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior, Dark Sky, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, El Hijo — A Wild West Tale, Colt Canyon, Republic of Jungle, Royal Romances: Cursed Hearts Collector’s Edition, Deus Ex: Human Revolution — Director’s Cut, Night Reverie, Sine Mora EX, Redemption Reapers and Yes, Your Grace.
Fanatical has launched its Special Editions bundle, and it can help you save more than the Steam Autumn Sale on a massive list of games.
It usually does. Steam sales are often great, but Fanatical sales get insane at times.
BLG writes, "There can be only one best Wolfenstein game. Since the franchise’s debut in 1981, the Wolfenstein series has graced our gaming platforms for over forty years. It’s hard to believe, but it’s true! In honor of that legacy, we’re going to list some of the best Wolfenstein games and the worst. That’s right: it’s the Wolfenstein games ranked."
Scheiße! Nein.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the best in the series. After that:
New Order
New Colossus
Old Blood
I really wish they'd remake Return to Castle Wolfenstein from the ground up. Easily the best of them all.
Highly disappointed in Machine Games for what they allowed Youngblood to become. I have done nothing but praise Machine Games since their inception with the incredible New Order Wolfenstein reboot. I preached their name and showered them with accolades for releasing basically a full AAA game with The Old Blood and selling it as a $20 DLC. The New Colossus was equally as impressive and i admired Machine Games for keeping sp FPS alive and sticking to their beliefs. But it appears as though the almighty dollar or Bethesda breathing down their necks finally influenced them to compromise. Forced co op (basically) and a weird upgrade/level structure that encourages you to spend real money on game currency. It's not surprising that Youngblood has received worse reviews and more criticism than any of their previous games as i'm sure the quality of the game was compromised in order to implement a microtransaction oriented structure.
Maybe i'll play Youngblood at some point if i can borrow it from someone, but i can't support it atm.
I just can't believe for what this game is and the shit it pulled turning Wolfenstein into a shadow of it's former self people still give it good scores. No way in hell is this anything higher then a 6 out of 10, it does so many things that MT's are just one problem out of many.
It's trying to be a looter shooter without being an actual looter shooter.
The game we saw during the games build up and what released are like two different things. It's sad when IGN of all sites were one of the few that gave it a reasonable score.
This is my least favorite wolfenstein game ever.... hopefully 3rd one is better.... and dont bring that awful rpg mechanic...
