Yeah I don't get Destructiods terrible review. I mean that gave it 7/10 but the text was awful. They said between 20-30 mins per level which is just completely wrong and they skip over just about every part of the game such as the excellent atmosphere, surround sound, talking in the DS4 speaker, 3D.
Its like they wrote the review in 5 minutes.
Another vid, still can't tell if there is screen tearing!

Just got the trophy for shooting the grenade out of a suidice bombers hand. That was tough!
If you would have done horde mode it would have just happened naturally. Especially dead end.
I gave up trying for it and am just now hoping to pick it up by chance.
Ok thanks man. I wasn't in a spot where I had time to watch a vid.
Sounds awesome though.
That doesn't apply to every level. My played time on the first level, on max difficulty, showed as 50 minutes and I had it paused for a bit to help my wife bring groceries in so if it keeps the timer running for that it might be inflated a bit still.

I used a shotgun about 10 feet away. The spread seemed to work lol
All three campaigns use the SE3 mechanics and graphical enhancements.
Oh, really? From what I've played of the first, it felt a lot like V2 still. Huh.
That reminds me, I still need to finish 3. I got stuck on the second to last mission and never finished.

Well I'm stuck and pissed off.
Fourth mission of chapter 2
.
I've only died about 3 times throughout the whole campaign, I've died a further 7 times just in this one spot.
Fourth mission of chapter 2
where you have to defend the bridge you're on, but there's no way off it as there's fire at the bottom of both sides. You have two gun emplacements on each side but there's too many to use the gun for more than 10 seconds. Eventually an elite zombie comes up and you've nowhere to run

I went ahead and picked up the PC version on Nuuvem since it was just $31.50. I never played the previous NZA games so no discount on Steam for me. Now it's just gotta finish downloading so I can get killed by lots of zombies...lol

Played until the first safehouse to see how the performance was and everything was great. I put everything on the max (except supersampling) and I couldn't see any issues. I tried the "newsreel" effect but since it's just a black & white filter I turned it off. I may use it again down the road if I just want to play around.
I had to do this part co-op with the original version. Excited about it again!
No NAM retail release date yet.
Just finished Episode 1, Chapter 3. Enjoying the game for the most part, but I wish they hadn't crippled the secondary and tertiary weapons so much. I get that they want players to focus on sniping, but a lot of the pistols and SMGs might as well be paintball guns. Really inaccurate paintball guns.

I chose Marie Chevalier to use for now. She's on a personal mission to assassinate Hitler so she gets the nod. I like the fact the game narrates the character bios when you are choosing them. It's a nice touch.

Any verdict on the 3D? I thought Sniper Elite 2's was decent, albeit it a little jarring as the frame rate was not super constant and the camera angles sometimes get janky, so assuming since it is the same engine it will be the same deal with this game, but thinking perhaps they fine tuned some aspects.
I of course can check it out myself, but that means taking my glasses out of storage and charging them, so have some time before I can check it out so just wondering if there are any impressions in the meantime.

Got that by accident in horde mode.
It's not too bad actually. I'm 5-6 chapters in on SE difficulty and I only ever have trouble when the big machine gun guys show up.

Sniper Elite is the way to play as it puts all the game's ballistics into play. And enemy spawns are a separate layer of difficulty, which is great as there's no serious reason NOT to play through on Sniper Elite difficulty.
And as opposed to what the digital manual says, you can play two players (or more) while setting the spawn setup to "one player" rather than default. So that's a great option if you find that co-op is a little too tough at first. Of course you can also do the opposite and buff the spawns if you want even more challenge.

Got this yesterday on Steam and finished 2 chapters with some randoms on the first campaign. What a blast!
Funny thing game wasn't even on my radar but I guess Steam suggestions works well

Is it just me or is the co-opplay really laggy? I shoot zombies and they die 1-2 seconds later. Happend to me in every single co-op season.
I love the game,but it is kinda unplayable that way.

It was laggy for me too, P2P play though so not surprising.

Be happy you can't notice screen tearing and don't seek it out how to spot it either, it will ruin gaming for you.
It's pretty horrific throughout that video.

This. It's one of those things that, once you notice it, you'll never be able to un-notice it, lol.

Man, playing solo even on marksman difficulty is tough in spots. I think I'm on the 1st or 2nd mission at the part where you have to defend the church, and the machine gun zombie is messing me up every time. I messed up and used the really good shotgun (the Preacher) early though, maybe I'll restart the level and make sure to save some ammo to use on him.

Remember to empty your lungs to slow down time. That helps a lot when dealing with the machine gun guys. I also use a high-zoom, fast rate of fire rifle like the Gewehr, so that I can zoom right in, slow down time, and headshot them in rapid succession.

Or kill all the normal zombies and just lure the big one outside the church, then run inside through the other door, go upstairs and get the bazooka, shoot him from upstairs, run outside, repeat.

Screen tearing is really bad on XB1. Game is fun, but I've had some really laggy co-op games so far. Funny to see the host with 20k score and everyone else below 1k because of it. It actually helped me get the achievement for keeping zombies from resurrecting because I would just do a normal headshot, but the lag would cause it to actually kill the rezing zombie instead lol. Movement is a little floaty and I wish there was a resident evil rev 2 evade, but the shooting feels good. Atmosphere is off the charts though.
Why the hell won't I get discount on this when everyone else seems to get it? Its 599 swedish crowns here, I saw it for 430 or something a day or so back and majornelson says its on discount until the 13th. What gives?
Edit: What the hell ... all of the sudden it shows for 480 again ... what in the world is happening?

I still hate knowing about its existence. I was happy in my ignorance, now I just can't stop seeing it and it really does make games unplayable when it's really bad.
