How Does Wolfenstein: Youngblood Compare to Previous Wolfensteins? [Spoilers]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- This is a video review and critique of Wolfenstein: Youngblood, a co-op spin-off from the main trilogy of modern Wolfensteins. It tries to look at whether it's gained more than it's lost when by pivoting from a linear, story-driven shooter to a nonlinear casual shooter with a social emphasis or whether that shift drags it all down. Spoilers throughout.

_"Youngblood_ simply doesn't paint in an emotional palette outside of neon."
I love you, Noah.
This video was very unfair ... to Spear of Destiny
...
It’s easy to say a game is mediocre, but it harder to explain that mediocrity in a way that is informative as in this video.
Thus the video, in reality you’ve added nothing we all didn’t know. You think too much mister.
@@donniedarko2815 Yep, it's both a gift and a curse. :)
Explaining why this game is bad is not difficult lol. Too much credit, you have given.
@@donniedarko2815 and you haven't added anything by commenting this, congrats, all you did was make yourself seem petty
"Why does BJ do what he does in TNO and TNC? Hope, desperation, revenge, a whole range of real options to choose from. I did what I did in Youngblood to make my numbers go up high enough that I could reach the credits roll."
YES, my thoughts exactly. I couldn't agree more on the worrying precedent this potentially sets for whatever comes next in the franchise. "Amorphous, anonymous replayability" is the perfect way to put it. It's hard to think of a game more profoundly disappointing to me.
The premise was so, so rich with potential and they do NOTHING with it, precisely because the game's design forbids them from it. The quest-giving resistance NPCs have less than zero reaction to the twist that they've been working for Nazis the entire time, because after all, you still need to be able to transport back to the hub. They still need to be able to give you menial quests regardless of your progress through the story, because you need to have the option of going back and grinding if the final mission is too much for you. The team does nothing to justify it and like everything else in Youngblood, throws the unbelievably careful theming of the previous Wolfenstein games under the bus in the process.
This game really got to me, in case you couldn't tell. Your video perfectly captured the reasons why. Great job as always!
This is why I'm terrified of Dishonored or Prey sequels. If Bethesda smells microtransaction money to be squeezed out of something, they'll demand it gets put in.
I agree with everything you said. To me, what made TNO and TNC so satisfying was that the killing felt personal for BJ. Shooting Nazis is fun on its own sure, but turning them into generic shoot-n-loot enemies feels passionless and disconnected from history. All the excessive gore and shooting was satisfying largely because it was intimate to BJ in a sense. TNO even felt like a losing battle for BJ, but every kill, every gorey Nazi dismemberment, felt like a personal victory for him. A refusal to surrender to tyranny in a world that overwhelmingly decided to. That personal element was what made the first two games resonate and stand out so much and be so unique in a sea of first person shooters. I hope they continue with that in Wolf 3.
One sign that your game's story is weak: when you could easily replace the main enemy with something else and it would make just as much sense. The nazis could have been replaced by killer robots, by the Combine form Half-Life, and a dozen other villains... and absolutely nothing would have changed.
One thing they did get right was some of the atmosphere and the readables are still good. Lothar Brandt and the Fourth Reich were also good in that it was the one thing consistent with other games that came before in making the point about Nazism. Namely that 'reform' or 'renovation' in this instance means, being Nazis, that they will just get even crazier and omnicidal. Everything else is bad, wrong or a missed opportunity. For example one level up could have been a random save when all seems lost with a member of the French resistance killing an enemy causing you misery or sacrificing their life to save you - showing that as you fight the French Resistance is becoming bolder, more active and that you are having an impact on people such that they will go out of their way to save you. They also should have made a Nazi villain that is personal to the sisters and that represents either a warped version of themselves or a handsome, charismatic Nazi who appeals to their blooming sexuality - but who says things in the midst of this to remind them and the player lest anyone get any ideas that this is a Nazi and he regards them as completely inferior. Well that is just one of many things that are missed opportunities or stupidity in this.
@@George-zj9rr As a huge fan of Dishonored 1 I fear the magic of Dunwall is already gone
Noah, I'm surprised you didn't bring up how Youngblood dropped the story for the third installment in the reboot series, a game that hasn't even been announced yet. I mean, Hitler is dead? Roth is dead? The world is dying because of some super weapon? A multi-verse is just casually explained like its something we should already know? How much of an absolute amateur do you have to be to spoil our own story in a sub-par social looter-shooter?
edit: your* own story
I completely agree
The thing about all of this is that even before Youngblood was released the writers at MachineGames have been very obvious that the lead-up to the end of Blaskowicz's story is that he fucking kills Hitler - and that this spinoff is completely separate from it. I find myself less worried about the "what happens" and more interested in the "how it's going to happen" for Wolfenstein 3. Wolfenstein 2 showed it's absolutely willing to kill off its cast (and then some) so even though Youngblood is spoilery it's not like it explains all the minutiae of their next game.
I didn't go into Youngblood expecting it to be any more than a serious experiment in improving the combat formula , especially when they announced it was mechanically a collaboration between Arkane and MachineGames, asked players not to treat it like it was the actual sequel to 2, and then priced it at sub-$60.
And honestly? I'm not a fan of the excessive RPG elements but on the whole I think the combat is actually an improvement over Wolfenstein 2, which somehow managed to be even worse than the first game at conveying player-critical feedback like health counters. The revive system makes the entire experience a much fairer process and while it doesn't necessarily fit Wolfenstein thematically it makes me optimistic that less of the third game will make me feel like I'm beating my head against a wall.
@@manwithastick8756 Youngblood falls into a weird position though, it's a spinoff but it takes place years later in the Wolfenstein reboot timeline and characters like Grace become head of the FBI with characters like Roth and Hitler died offscreen with America being liberated in that time frame. It causes some worries over how "canon" the events are, and while the combat is fun it becomes too stale quickly.
Absolutely.
@@manwithastick8756 I too am more concerned with "how" rather than "what" with these things. I mean, it's fucking Wolfenstein, of course Hitler has to die (he better be Mecha-Hitler) and Roth is rather elderly. The other two things shouldn't have been so casually dropped in a spin-off. That's my issue here, how Blazkowicz almost literally starts with "PREVIOUSLY ON WOLFENSTEIN;" when he shows up in this game.
When the New Order came out I was not really interested for a long time. Being German the Wolfenstein games have always been either banned or heavily cut and censored here so I had not actually heard of the franchise before. More on a whim I watched an LP of it and was very much surprised and astonished by not only how good of a game it is but by how engaging the story, characters and world of it are. When the New Colossus came around I bought it uncut with the help of an American friend and played it on my PS4 because, differently to PC, it doesn´t have a region lock. I loved New Colossus to bits, even if some people complain about it as being worse than New Order and it is one of my favorite shooter games to date. So I did the same with Youngblood when it came out but found myself very disappointed by it. It is a lot more gameplay with a lot less substance. I just hope that it was an experiment and not the way future games will be like.
Ouch, doubly disappointing as Youngblood was the first uncensored Wolfenstein game in Germany and TNC made that possible as people pointed out, as I understand it, that the game highlighted how stupid German federal law on this was because the game takes the Holocaust and the Nazis very seriously, so having to edit out Hitler clearly being Hitler and replacing his ravings about Jews with 'traitors' was ITSELF creepy and minimising the past. Too bad it was Youngblood - a missed opportunity of a game.
The most disappointing thing about youngblood is that the 80's in general is so chock full of fun and interesting weird futuristic stuff to explore, and we get little to none of that.
Plus it technically spoiled Wolfenstein 3 if it was to exist cause they'd have to make mecha Hitler in the 3rd installment
I just finished the Outer Worlds video, guess I'll strap in for one more
it's not like you ever regret it.
I happened to already be up late when I saw first one had dropped and was very tired by the time I finished the second. Hahahaha
Wow two videos in two days! Thanks Noah, rock on 😊
third one is coming soon
My #1 problem with Youngblood is that 18 or so years have passed since the last game and they STILL haven't dealt with all the Nazis. This game to me always seemed like an excuse to keep playing in a universe that should have at least started to heal when really it's just as bad if not worse than when we first returned here. So much of this game to me screamed "why are we still here doing this?"
Everytime I see your name at the top of my feed, I alway light up with joy. Thank you kind sir
You alway light up with joy?
These are sooo well done.
Please don't stop.
On a side note, I really appreciate the reading of patreons list. Dedication!
On fire with these Uploads man.
thank you so much, I need something soothing to watch today so much. I'm so glad you do these
Thanks for your thoughtful critique as usual! I am always eager to hear your thoughts and am grateful that you have the ability to explore deeply (as in your longer videos) but also can succinctly express yourself in these shorter videos as well. I hope the pressure to make long form analysis subsides and you are able to continue making content at the pace and length that is appropriate for the subject as well as your own personal needs. Take care!
Oh my, Mr. Gervais, am I glad you rang twice today.
Glad you have all those patreons, you channel is criminally underrated.
Twofer, yes! I don't care how long I ever have to wait for one of you videos, it's always worth it.
Oh Noah got 2 in the tuck?
We move!👌🏾
I was just browsing my feed when I saw this and just lit up. Two in a row, thanks Noah!
You're looking super healthy right now, that time on the road has done you well! and it's great to see you rapid firing content out! 💜
Always appreciate your thought provoking deep dives Mr.Gervais.
I was really glad how Noah talked about difficulty. I'm the kind of gamer who usually plays on highest difficulty too, at least in shooters. But it's experience I can hardly share with a lot of people, especially not many gamers I play together with. Playing with people who haven't spent the thousands of hours I have, maybe even those who may play a shooter for the first time, it's ridiculously hard to find a game they can play. Like, I started shooters with Unreal Tournament 2003. But I did so as an early teen, with the time, patience and reflexes to get good at them fast. But when my partner says she wants to give Wolfenstein a shot, even on the lowest difficulty, the only struggle she would have is with the controls. Never a chance to experience in any way close to the way I did.
Fuck me ! That was fast. Was not expecting the next video so soon. Good work.
You are absolutely right about the ammo problem with the last boss fight. It was a nightmare to solo that fight.
Hearing you compare the set pieces to that of Dishonored 2 just makes me want to dive into that series again. I'd also love to hear your thoughts on its DLC.
Hey, I'm not planning to play this game so I can watch all of this video! You're the man Noah!
Oh no. Are they going to have us go into an alternate dimension and find that the Soviets won the cold war and then make us kill communists? God, that would be the absolute worst way this franchise could end.
So many videos have been released in such a short time its taken me 2 days to realise they are new videos and not old ones I've forgotten about.
You make me care about games that I never would have cared about otherwise. Love all your videos
"a strange and experimental deviation" is a nice way to say "a game compromised by the Bethesda's greed and need to ride the live-service train."
Remember their "save player one" marketing from a few years ago?
Man, did that prove to be a load crap in the long run.
@@Gruntvc It was also a few years ago.
Ah...
yeah, that's basically it.
@@Gruntvc Yes, because they are only making multiplayer games now.
You know that Bethesda aren't the only company that tried to take the Fallout IP online?
NOAH! awesome videos, yet again!
Another upload? Noah are you ok? Producing feature length retrospective is a video game analysis takes time. He's not just reacting to a song or music video, and, movie trailers.
A little NCG is exactly what I needed today. Thanks again
Making Grace in control of an institution rather than the rebel she is, and her hair is now straight instead of the natural afro? Time travel so all the pain and world weariness of Blazko was for naught? Nah man, I really hope they don't consider this canon. This erasure of what we loved about the storytelling in New Order, Old Blood, and New Colossus is disappointing.
"ime travel so all the pain and world weariness of Blazko was for naught?"
What on Earth are you talking about, there was no time travel, just alternate dimensions that B.J. saw where things went differently than in his reality.
And not just any information, but the fucking fbi
This was a strange game. Only 4 major missions, side missions was just going through the same 4.locations, story was short, no real emotion after beating the final boss, didn't know you couldn't go back to the first crate in Riverside because I didn't have that slam ability, soldiers could see in the dark underground tunnels....it was alright shooter.
Two NCG videos in two days? Amazing. Phenomenal. Count me in.
Honestly this game is a perfect reason for the middle market title. Imagine if this game was sold for 30 usd and had a run time of about 8-12 hours. I think that would almost be worth it.
great vid as always. i 100 percented this solo recently, it isn't actually too difficult if you just soak up as much experience as you can in the early levels, and for all the flack it gets for including microtransactions the reason i played this one whilst i missed the previous games in the franchise is because this was released at a lower price point, and i more than got my money's worth
Great essay!! Thank you Noah!
Back to back review videos? Noah you spoil us.
Holy hell so much content. Two in two days.
i think the timeline thing is the wyatt/fergus split. the youngblood one is fergus where they never find the key or something like that.
Great vid, have a like! I went through the whole thing solo on normal difficulty, no problem, even the final fight. It's a shooter and the shooting is still fun. Almost gave up once though, when 3 missions in a row were in the same location. This is not what anyone wants from a Wolfenstein game but it's ok compared to the division 2 etc. God i love The new order and the chaos of The old blood. More of THAT pleeease!
wolf 1- damn this is GOOD!
wolf 2- ehhhhh ok
wolf 3- dafuq is dis shit
Oh man, Noah you're spoiling us!
Too bad that you were disappointed twice (albeit mildly in the case of The Outer Worlds). Let's hope you get something more exhilarating next time.
Aka, "Hopefully he experiences Disco Elysium soon"
Two vids in one day?
You’re really spoiling me here
Two videos in one day? You really do spoil us Noah.
Regarding "We had fun.", I mean, isn't that true of a great deal of quote-unqoute bad media? Especially if beer is involved? You're with someone you gel with, you're shooting the shit, frustrations become more than what they are, they become excuses to joke or gripe to someone who's there with you and is presumably receptive.
What I mean to say is, companionship is the element that elicits fun, in other words: you're having fun DESPITE the game, not because of it. I wonder how many people who love The Room watch it solo, sober, and how many watch it with friends and other people in the know, for example.
Jep. Thats the difference between a subjective experience and trying to discern a more objective standard of quality.
I do think they're weighing whether or not to do the dimension hopping storyline because Jess and Soph knock BJ out of his reverie by telling him that he can wish for a different world all he wants, but the world they're currently in is the one they have to fight for. I hope they stick with that.
When I came to that part of the game I just thought that they used it to convey that he happened to glimpse into our world where the Nazis lost the war and that there was nothing more to it. Interesting how people can come off with so different thoughts and ideas :)
The "you're bad at games, so your opinion doesn't matter" argument makes no sense. People want game reviews to gauge whether they'd like it themselves (or for pure entertainment). And people are are bad at games would also like to be bakle to gauge whether they'd like a game, which they can probably best calculate based on the opinions of someone who's also bad at games. That doesn't necessarily mean the game itself is bad, but that it's _not for them_. (But I guess that level of nuance is beyond the people who make that sort of argument anyway.)
Interesting video, thank you!
Whoo more Noah!
And here I was, thinking I was going to get to go back to sleep. Thanks Noah.
Holy shit, Aron Dembski-Bowden is donating to your patreon
honestly, i came into this game expecting very little. i think i understood what this game was from the very first piece of marketing. so, i spent 9 hours in it and I don't plan on ever touching it again, but i really enjoyed it. i even played it in single player. 7 hours was enough to finish the main story, so I recommend it for just that amount of time.
that final boss def suck shit tho
NANI?! Two videos in two days?! Noah you are the best!
This game's time travel plot went absolutely *NOWHERE* and I will not accept the fact that they killed *HITLER* off screen in a *WOLFENSTEIN* game! Like Fuck The What?!
2 for 1? Who do you think you are? Some kind of critique God?
Love it man, keep up the good work.
I've played some 250 hours of Destiny 2 the last few months, and it's scary how easily the final points of this video could be applied to that game without changing a thing. What have I done with my life? XD
omg so sneaky Noah I LOVE IT
The hardest working man on UA-cam at it again with another banger
Another wonderful video, thanks for making these, Noah!
I'm about one of four people in the world that actually enjoyed this game (enough to buy it on two platforms, even).
Your points are certainly not invalid, they just didn't bother me for some reason.
It's a very arcade-y game. Which is a departure from the somber, story-driven execution of the previous titles. It makes sacrifices to story and characters. And it's all about number progression. Leveling up, upgrading guns, checking objective boxes. This is an undeniably shallow gaming experience, but this is the first one I've ever actually liked. There was just something therapeutic to me about playing a mechanically straightforward number boosting game with tight combat and in a setting I liked.
Like watching big dumb action movies or melodramatic TV shows. I don't necessarily find it intellectually stimulating, but it's just easy to appreciate and a nice aside from life.
I find games/movies like this to be more appealing the older I get (I just turned 30). But I probably wouldn't have liked them as much when I was 20.
It's totally understandable to be less impressed with this game. But I have to admit that it still worked for me, for whatever reason. I've put at least 60 hours into it.
Thank you for some actual good critque
I haven't played this yet, and I don't really plan to anymore. Loved all 3 new games so this is a major let down
I was so sick of all the criticism at the time though, so much of it was just people crying over the fact you play as women rather than men, so some actual good nuanced critque is a breath of fresh air
Keep up the good work!
The criticisms about the 2 protagonists of Youngbloods isn't because they're women, it's because they're insufferable idiots who also happen to be controlled by a moronic AI. To claim that it's sexism is to completely miss the fact that much of the problems with both girls is that both have about as one dimensional as Duke Nukem, but split between the two of them. The part about the AI is also rather telling as people love Elizabeth or Ellie who are both women and both primarily AI driven, but actively assist the player during moment to moment gameplay, of which neither Soph nor Jess do. In fact in many ways having to deal with one or other as a solo player causes even new problems as the AI is again moronic to the point of either messing up your stealth, standing in front bullets and getting downed (which causes you to fail if your sister dies) and otherwise not contributing much to any given fight. They'd be better received if they weren't a constant thorn in the players side during the action.
Look, the criticisms of the two have nothing to do with them being women, it's just that we've seen better written women elsewhere and better characters in general to know what a bad one looks like. That it's from Machine Games and Arkane Studios is even worse as they should know how to write characters.

You're spoiling us, Noah ;)
Banger intro... Bayyhhd giiirls. Funky, groovy. Disco.
Thanks for showing the end cutscene. I hit that Lothar fight, got killed and promptly uninstalled the game.
Oh my god, Noah is quick firing a ton of videos
I played the Wolfenstein games when they came out, back on an IBM 286 with only computer beeps. When I upgraded to a 386 system, and added in an 8 bit Creative sound card, that moment when BJ's prison door slid open, and from the speakers came a sound like metal grinding on concrete, I was hooked. Bought and played each and every Wolfenstein game since then -- except for this one. Had no interest in the premise from the beginning. Noah's review certifies that decision as correct.
oh shit, two episodes in a day... thanks fam.
I got all the new Wolfenstein games in a bundle.
I burned through the main 2 and old blood DLC and was riding so high on these awesome games that I got for a total of 25 American Dollars.
I made it about an hour into Young Bloods before uninstalling with a "What the fuck is this???"
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is one of the best or probably the best of the series and games around the early 2000s, I’ve never played the newer ones like New Colossus or the 2009 game but I bet they are really good...
You're spoiling us Noah
Welcome to the best part of the gaming UA-cam niche.
Love your videos.
How can you play this on minimum settings :O ? 100 USD GPUs can max it (without RTX) out at 1080p.
Only $100.wow
@@Tsar_NicholasIII Actually, its more like 40 USD now. RX 550s with 4 GB can enable medium settings.
I’m digging the beard. And I’m digging he new content.
Hey noah's back
I love your videos!
People may comment about Noah's gameplay, but a co-op game shouldn't have the difficulty problems Youngblood has unless you're playing on the absolute hardest setting (legendary or whatever.) And I get the feeling they weren't doing that.
Plus, even if they *were*, the way the ammo system is designed and implemented would *still* be garbage. It makes no sense as anything other than some kind of idiotic "waste the player's time so they spend more time seeing cash shop ads" crap.
A boring comment but one that still applies; TWO Noah videos in two days? Nice
I can't wait for tommorrow's video.
Will you be trying out Far Cry New Dawn for another spinoff game
Two uploads two days in a row, what a treat
Okay, I know this is a tangent, and completely unrelated to the game itself...what type of beer were you drinking? You don't strike me as the type, and I am honestly curious.
Natty Light strikes again
Is this Great Noah Deluge Part 2?
21:08 I have to disagree. If they sent BJ back to fix what went wrong then all that weariness from fighting the Nazis pretty much his whole life wouldn't just go away. Send him back, he defeats Hitler and the whole Nazi regime this time in 1942, he gets hailed as a hero... and then what, for BJ Blazkowicz? When the war he'd been fighting for *decades* is finally over, what does he look out at the world and see?
Someone like that I think would always see another tyranny. First the USSR, perhaps - hard to argue they weren't tyrannical, after all. And it might make a good game, that, BJ going up against something so similar to his old foe and yet so different. No Nazi occultism to contrast against BJ's down-to-earth self-reliance - one could even argue that the average Soviet soldier might have more claim to that than BJ, especially after he *went* *back* *in* *time* *to* *change* *history.* And there's plenty of other thematic divides to explore.
So yeah, might get a good game out of that. Perhaps two, if the devs wanted to roll in the fall of Imperial Japan. But I think that might be best kept as a single game, with the Blazkowicz-led crushing of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan just the first couple of levels.
But again, then what? Nazi Germany defeated, Soviet Russia broken, Imperial Japan beaten down... perhaps instead of interfering in the Chinese Civil War we get a game where we get General Blazkowicz in Korea instead of General MacArthur. And who would say no to *his* demand that the nukes get dropped?
To further the exaggerated parallels to MacArthur, who could possibly beat Blazkowicz were he to run for President in 1956? Maybe even 1952 depending on how fast Korea goes. I doubt he'd even need to campaign. In the new timeline he'd have been pretty much personally responsible for the defeat of every even vaguely credible adversary the country could have been said to have.
So a third time, then what? Every meaningful foe defeated, the American public probably falling over themselves to have President Blazkowicz...
Does he become a villain, deploying American power to every corner of the globe as he jumps at the shadows of the adversaries he'd already defeated? Eventually the world would need to work together to remove him. As you say in the video (19:17), a major theme of the new games has been BJ's steadfast belief in the ability of humanity to liberate themselves, so humanity living up to his original faith in them would be a very satisfying twist.
Does he push the world to achieve for good the great feats he saw the Nazis achieve for evil? Not sure how you get another Wolfenstein game out of that, but perhaps we run into aliens or something, I dunno.
Does he simply quietly retire, satisfied in a job well done as others pick up the world he left behind? Plenty of room to explore "king under the mountain" type stories there.
I don't know which of these might be worth pursuing. But I think sending BJ back in time to not just win but make the loss to have never happened wouldn't invalidate that loss for him on a personal level. I think it would just give him a new set of problems to face, informed by those struggles for good or ill.
I hope you also cover the original Doom games before talking about Eternal.
Why is the ammo problem even a thing, i get resourse management in games but usually checkpoints are meant to help during missions, and its out of place in general.
I enjoyed youngblood. I had a good time
why the dead space three diss at the start? That game had some stellar environment, musical, character and atmospheric design. not sure on why'd you'd pick out its aesthetic qualities of all things.
He made a Dead Space series retrospective video in which he explains if you are interested
Dope video
Noah are there two of you working on these videos?
The version of last boss you've played is patched one. Before that he was even tougher and didn't have checkpoint in the beginning of the fight. So if you died there, you had to do whole raid all over again. Fun game, isn't it?
If it's been patched sure
Holy lol I think this is the most venomous I've ever heard Noah, the disappointment is palpable
I wonder who hurt the people who watch Noah's videos, hear his in-depth thematic discussions and then think to themselves, "I must tel that guy that he no good at gaems."
Just a difference of opinion, some people play to become the best others to immerse themselves. Naturally these very different types will collide.
BJ going back to 194x and killing Nazis through time travel would make for a good DLC. Something of a more DOOM type experience where you see the technical and tactical changes that came in the near half century. As an actual narrative however, it does not feel Wolfenstein.
Hey Noah, are you planning on Dishonored videos too?
He already did. Go look at his old videos
I am a bit worried about the comparison to The Man In The High Castle, sure in Wolfenstein the alternative reality may be cheap but there is a lot more going on it PKD's book and the alternative universe there is most certainly not a "we can go back and fix it" scenario.
I took it as more a reference to the series. I don't know it particularly well, but I largely understand this to be the thrust of it. I don't think Noah was throwing shade at that story though.
@@hmspolioPossibly, but he did mention the book as well, it is a bit strange to juggle both a depiction of a Nazi/Japanese controlled America with plenty of refections on the absolute destructiveness of facism and also include a major plot-line about counterfeit reality and nested universes but
A. Its Phillip.K. Dick and thats what he does and
B. It actually works perfectly
