Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

Even More Nazi Killing Mayhem: My Thoughts On The Wolfenstein The Old Blood So Far

Somehow I missed out on playing Wolfenstein: The Old Blood initially. It was the standalone DLC follow up to Machine Games amazing story driven shooter Wolfenstein: The New Order. After Bethesda revealed that Wolfenstein II is coming out this year I decided to head back to Old Blood to finally play it. The Old Blood is a sequel the The New Order but is confusingly a prequel reboot of the original Wolfenstein game. Old Blood features BJ on a mission that takes him to castle Wolfenstein and in the typical fashion, he is immediately imprisoned and must escape. The game starts off with stealth missions that you must handle with care because the alternative is attacking... Read All

The Steam Summer Sale Is Here. What Are You Buying?

The Steam Summer Sale is here and with it come some great deals. Incredible deals such as Starship Rubicon, the game Cheerful Ghost published is marked down so low it would be improper of you not to buy it at $1.99! Wait... hold the phone... $1.99? It would be insane of you not to buy it at that kind of discount so don't be crazy y'all, pick it up today!

And while your at it check all the other deals out on such games like Wolfenstein: The Old Blood at $9.99 which I somehow missed even though I absolutely loved The New Order. Or the nightmare created horror rogue-like The Darkest Dungeon which is also marked down to $9.99. But don't take my word for it, head over to... Read All

I might go with the Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Classics bundle. Yesterday it was about $60, today it's about $20. Not much else on my wish list at the moment. That one's only relevant because of the announcement of Sega Forever.

I think I got both Wolfenstein games for $10 each during one of the last sales.

Yeah, I thought maybe The Old Blood would go under $10 but it doesn't seem like it has and I do want to play it before Wolf II comes out.

The Old Blood is $9.99!

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/23/2017 at 05:00am

Well yeah, but I was thinking it would be like $5 or something. It's been marked down to $9.99 before. I guess I was just hoping it would go lower. Maybe after Wolf II is out?

$9.99 is still a great deal, I think i'm just a bit spoiler by the old legendary Steam Sales of yester year. These are good but they don't seem nearly as nuts as the bundled deals we'd get back in the day. I remember picking up Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas and a couple other Beth games for $30.

I think the old days where the week-long discounts weren't stellar but the daily (and sometimes thrice-daily) deal switches gave intense discounts were better overall. I kinda get why they stopped it but still.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/23/2017 at 05:27am

Yeah. It seems now we get sales and bundles all the time and the crazy sales aren't as popular anymore. I think it's a win but... I miss the crazy crazy deals.

I picked up Doom, Batman VR and Everest VR

I bought that SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics bundle for huge savings! Most of my Cheerful Ghost friends on Steam have it.

I remembered that DLC for Don't Starve called Shipwrecked. I also remembered Mortal Kombat, so I got the Komplete Edition. The Arkham Knight franchise is on sale, too, so I got the Premium version or whatever. All of that cost about $25. I think that's a sweet deal.

Travis Admin wrote on 07/05/2017 at 03:54am

I ended up grabbing Shadow of Mordor because I hear so many good things about it. Can't beat that $3 price tag.

Also Mankind Divided despite the mixed reviews because I adored Human Revolution.

Virginia, because I love Twin Peaks and this game feels like that.

Ori and the Blind Forest because I have a friend trying to get me to play it and it looks really great.

And finally Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns because I was an oddball that loved XIII and want some more.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 07/05/2017 at 04:20am

I also decided to get The Long Dark. I've watched one of my favorite YouTubers play it in the last few years.

@Travis I have FFXIII, XIII-2, and Lightning Returns on the PS3. I haven't played much of those games, but I did finish the first two once. I'm not sure if I'll get them on Steam.

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood announced

Bethesda and MachineGames are back with more Wolfenstein! Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a prequel to last year's absolutely fantastic Wolfenstein: The New Order, and has our hero B.J. Blazkowicz breaking into Castle Wolfenstein to steal coordinates to Deathshead's compound, and trying to stop some recently uncovered artifacts from falling into Nazi hands. Most importantly, he'll be killing Nazis like he does so well.

You can jump back into the action on May 5th. It'll retail for $19.99 and does not require the base game.

There's also going to be a Twitch stream later this week to show off some gameplay.

Check out Bethesda's announcement post for more: ... Read All

I love that this is a separate game, and not DLC.

jdodson Admin wrote on 03/04/2015 at 08:54pm

Looks like it is going to be two parts.

"Part one of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood – Rudi Jäger and the Den of Wolves — pits BJ Blazkowicz against a maniacal prison warden as he breaks into Castle Wolfenstein in an attempt to steal the coordinates to General Deathshead’s compound. In part two – The Dark Secrets of Helga Von Schabbs – our hero’s search for the coordinates leads him to the city of Wulfburg where an obsessed Nazi archaeologist is exhuming mysterious artifacts that threaten to unleash a dark and ancient power."

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 03/04/2015 at 10:20pm

Yeah, not sure if that's just like Act 1 and Act 2 of the same game or if it's episodic or what.

Here is some Pax East video of a live streaming session.
