[ VR LEG TIME ]

- I've mainly played VR Chat, PokerStars VR, Pavlov VR very occasionally, Beatsaber etc.
- In total I would guess well over 100 hours at least, to earn my VR legs.
- I can comfortably use the fast turning and the good locomotion setting (not teleport).

[ TIME PLAYED ]
- 73 minutes so far (in one 'sitting').

[ THOUGHTS / COMMENTS ]

- Definitely showcases the future for VR.
- Playing on the OG VIVE, Screen Door is prevailant but with the graphics of the game, hardly noticable.
- I spent a good 15 minutes of my playthrough trying to operate a broom to sweep the floor WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF GAMING.
- Definitely needed to rest after my first 50 minutes, which brought me to I guess what I would call "the second level". If you've ever played VR CHAT "The Climb" map, you'll know what I'm talking about, the climbing takes it out of me and I'm a generally fit lad.
- I have only played enough to offer these initial impressions and I really wanted to just share my hardware and set up to offer a baseline of what YOU might expect if you've been thinking about jumping into VR for this game or the upcoming HalfLife Alyx but so far I'm really enjoying the game. It gives off major Portal vibes so far although the narration isn't there, I haven't really started the game so I won't comment further.
- You know that feeling you first got when you launched your first VR headset, amazement, bewilderment, a sense of adventure... Well I got that all over again in the first 5 minutes of this game.

[ TIPS ]

- I find personally, that if I'm playing VR, especially with my headset, you feel way less sick if the room you're in is cold. So I played with a fan on and my window open.
- I've not really had the difficulty other people have had with using the OG vive want grip button, it feels natural to me but i can definitely appreciate the interaction with different objects would be easier sometimes with the new Knuckles Controllers (Live in Australia so unless anyone has a spare kidney I won't be getting them for a while i guess).

If you've thought about jumping into VR and the initial cost scares you off, do what i did. I bought my VIVE secondhand for about $550 AUD off Facebook Marketplace. It's not too much of an upfront cost and you can always sell it second hand yourself if you don't like it and I reckon you won't lose much money, especially if you're in Australia.

I'm looking forward to continuing my play through tomorrow. I'll check the review then and answer any comments / questions you might ask me.

Cheers all!

First legitimate review ever posted:

Purchased: 23.02.17.
Play Time: 3 hours 26 minutes.
System Specs: i7 7700K, GTX 1070, 16GB Ram.

POSITIVES:
- None.

NEGATIVES:
- Poor system optimisation for my system. I was hampered by constant slow downs where the game would just crawl to a stop and i would have to wait 1-2 seconds for it to become responsive again.
- This is a "best hits" of WW2. Imagine getting on a tour bus and being driven around, stopping at each iconic location and then the tour guide saying " OKAY, SHOOT SOME PEOPLE OVER THERE. WHEN YOURE DONE I WILL TAKE YOU TO THE NEXT LOCATION" and you have another eight painful hours to continue on the tour.
- Multiplayer on COD on PC is beyond a joke. I didn't try Multiplayer so my experience is Campaign only.
- For being very "squad" based, there is no COOP gameplay ala World at War (which was a good game).
- The controls and responsiveness when driving any vehicle, and in particular the tanks was game breaking. I wanted to smash my keyboard it was that bad. There is no reason it should be that terrible when COD could have learnt from the Battlefield series.
- How Nazi's are portrayed in this game is terrible. If you've ever played Wolfenstein, this game is going to feel baby mode to you. Nothing you do in the story feels like it affects anything. Your squad's relationships between each other and yourself are forced and not rewarding at all.
- I can't believe that in 2017 in a AAA title, you can look down and see yourself floating still. Immersion breaks immediately.
- I've made the mistake of purchasing the last couple of COD titles because i like playing campaign modes where I'm constantly trying to relive the glory of Modern Warfare 1 and Black Ops 1. You're not going to be happy playing this title.

TL;DR

- Review based on Campaign mode only. Multiplayer on PC has been and will always be catered for the console community and will remain terrible and unrewarding on PC.
- This game is terrible. Do not waste your money.
- If you do want to try, remember STEAM will automatically allow you to refund your purchase if you play less than 2 hours, or on a "case by case" scenario.
- If you want a good multiplayer game, play Battlefield 4.
- If you want good Campaigns, then play Battlefield One.
- If you want a good Nazi shooter game, with great writing and good gameplay, play Wolfenstein.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Cheers,

My Sli 760GTX 2GB struggle with this game. I play 2K and most of my settings are on High. It seems prettry interesting so far and I've spent a number of hours trying to figure everything out. I hope that this type of game genre makes a come back. The story is especially interesting.
