Wasn't calling you wrong by the way. I am interested to see what it sounds like on speakers and on headphones once it unlocks for me.

Yeah I don't really care what the reviews say. I will absolutely buy this game, it looks great. If anything I want to play it just because I've played, and for the most part enjoyed, all the other Wolf games. And because it's got some good FPS developers working on it.
I do hope it turns out to be good and liked by most that play it, Wolf hasn't really shined brightly for a while.

There' s some serious slowdown in sections of this game. Wow, almost unplayable. Anyone else getting it on PC?
Which sections and what specs?

Just some quick impressions as I'm knackered and need to go to bed 
Did the first three chapters and so far I really like it. Overall the weapons have sounded great so far, especially the assault rifle, but I must admit I'm disappointed with the double barrels sound. It just isn't good enough. Playing Rage only yesterday even showed it up.
The other thing that really sticks out is how laid back it is. It's not like COD where you feel 'PUSH ON! MOVE UP!', you can walk about the levels and do a bit of exploration and get into skirmishes along the way. The AI definitely isn't too bright but I've found it to be on the fun side of dim, especially if you're stealthing a level or at least trying to stealth until you take out a commander. I did get surprised at least once when I walked through a doorway and a fuckin Nazi was lying front down on the floor shooting at me Combat's been fun, nothing mindblowing but some nice blood and seeing Nazis go down like a sack of spuds is a blast. Overall I would say I prefer Wolf 09's combat so far but remember I'm a big Raven fan and like their style. Might be different for you.
Storywise I absolutely love how serious it, BJs voiceover has been great so far. The Nazis are real pieces of shit in this and really make you want to kill them. It's ludicrous in a serious way instead of campy and I really dig that.
Obviously it's far too early too judge it as a game overall but it's a damn solid shooter which I'm enjoying quite a bit. Still a long way to go but if there's some nice twists and turns and MachineGames vary things up along the way I reckon it'll be a solid purchase. We shall see!

Oh yes, at first I was like, 'Is that my Doom 2 double barreled shotabang, come to Papa'.
Then I fired it..

Is there gonna be any dlc for this? Anything at all?
Nothing has been hinted at, to my knowledge.

That'd be a confusing yet awesome box quote.
I know it's not a stealth game, but I prefer my FPS's when there is some stealth aspect (my favorite parts of Metro Last Light was when I could stealth around and get the jump on guys. Especially if I could try to stealth through them all). I don't mind if I mess up having to shoot through the rest, but I like the option to try to stealth my way through
So, for some one like me would you say this game might be a fun one? So far what I'm hearing sounds good (I also like a decent story and I see a few people here saying the story is pretty good). I also like your comment on how you can explore around (as some one who tends to gravitate towards RPG games, I naturally love exploring
).

Fuck yes! I only beat the first level and these are literally my same thoughts. I am loving the shit out of this game and also the specs needed for this game are absolutely BS. I have everything maxed out and running at 1080p/60fps. i5-3550k, GTX 680 4gig, 16gig ram

nvidia actually; 670. The areas it happened in were
the bigger section when destroying the two cannons, scaling the tower, and then the area after that. Not sure of the names exactly.
I'll check the thread, thanks.

I truly have not been this excited about a SP FPS Campaign in a very, very long time.
I have purposely not read much of anything (did see some of the not so positive feedback in this thread, and dismissing it right now) and just plan to go into the game with the one and only purpose of having fucking fun. Not just fun. Fucking fun.
So yeah, I even took off of work on Thursday & Friday just to extend my holiday weekend and make sure I had some time to play this.

The exploration part is one of the things I consider a pro as well. Just slowly taking your time and perhaps finding some neat details, a secret path or even a small puzzle... I like it.
No save option at all. Only auto save w/ checkpoints.

yay, pre-loading 40.7 GB !
Well, that's a little disappointing, hopefully it auto saves decently often. I hate being forced to wait til it saves for me (especially if it isn't obvious when it saves). That means if I need to pick up and go soon I don't know if I have time to get to the next checkpoint or if I'm just going to end up having to lose more progress if I try to go any further. Plus when I'm ready to quit the game it means I'll feel compelled to try to get to the next checkpoint when maybe I'm ready to call it quits.
Not a dealkiller but honestly, I really don't like it when they don't let me save myself. Plus a lot of times it means you can't re play a chapter that you might have enjoyed and just want to play it without being punished (metro last light for example if you liked one chapter if you went back to it, it would erase all progress from future chapters).
what is that thing even doing?
First hour done, my roommate thought it was cool watching me, and I think the shooting's pretty great. Gore helps a lot, and there've already been a couple of open rooms and the enemies flanked me pretty good. Bout to mess around with some settings and see if I can't get vsync working. Thank God there's an FOV option on PC, too.
how high can you set the FOV?
I thought its was waving about its middle finger.
but anyway has anyone played the PS3 version?
Oh man, I'm glad I'm getting it on my PS4 then. I have basically the same rig but with a slightly weaker CPU.

That's good, I can't stand under 90 for PC shooters.
