I hate the grinding. So much loot. Goddamn loot lying around everywhere, and then additional loot from kills.
That's what put me off Borderlands: you spend way too much time collecting, and you have to actively point and collect.
I'd love an auto-pickup option. Unlike with something like Bioshock, here you want to collect everything anyway.
Otherwise I like, it's definitely Wolfenstein. An excellently executed, simplistic powertrip.
With everything maxed, except shadows on 4096, runs with a solid 60fps@1080p on my 3yo I72600k/GTX580.

What loot? There's weapons, ammo, armour, health and secret items... just like in RTCW.
Game seems kind of easy so far. I'm knifing and headshotting everyone.
Anyone know what the point of health overcharging? It's really my only one complaint. It would be cool if it gave you some kind of berzerker mode, but as just a health boost it drains too fast to be of any use. Pick up a +25 and it's drained by the time you find someone to kill.

Well, that's what I call loot.
And yeah, playing on 'death incarnate', but seems very easy so far.
Probably because the insane amount of LOOT, hehe.
Maybe I'll switch to 'über'.

Guess it's just extra shieldage, so do it just before attacking?

RPS Verdict (contains spoilers)
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/06 ... pc-review/
Non-spoiler summary:
Was expecting boring generic CoD gameplay, but pleasantly surprised.
Adam: It is a long game, certainly by modern FPS standards, and I have to admit it became a bit of a slog by the end. But I mostly loved it and I really didn’t expect to.
Before I played it, I fully expected to find the whole thing a bit offensive for my tastes. I’m the kind of person who gets a little bit uncomfortable about Horrible Histories making light of cruelty and death, so robo-Nazi shooting combined with inner monologues about the horror of war, and FPS concentration camps seemed like a recipe for something that was grotesque in all the wrong ways. If you’d told me that I’d not only enjoy the game but (on the whole) the characters and the tone as well, I wouldn’t have believed it.
Alec: Yeah, a combination of Big Franchise cynicism and a pretty ropey, worryingly CODlike start had me wincing through the first hour. I also expected to spend half my write-up last week worrying about the morality of it. But I have to say my brain recoils from even beginning that analysis. I want to be allowed to enjoy this, but I know that it is in many ways problematic. We make a cage for ourselves.
Adam: Yeah, I know that feeling. When it hit bum notes I was rolling my eyes rather than writing angry letters though, which is a relief. It sounds incredibly odd to say this about an alternate history Nazi shooting game, with some very grim scenes and some incredibly silly ones alongside, but it’s heart is in the right place. I don’t know if big budget FPS games even have a heart but…something is in the right place. It’s oddly earnest, like its protagonist.

if you dont have this yet, get it.... the game is awesome.
its like watching a movie, with interludes for you to go berserk and take so many people down, or go silent and covert and solidsnake your way throughout.
i'm loving the silenced handgun at the moment, there is a satisfactory clang when you brain someone wearing a helmet.
