Timboli: Just for the record, I got two versions (separate game entries in my GOG library) when I bought the game, which I bought with the Season Pass, separately because it was cheaper by a few dollars than the Digital Deluxe combined version.

The second version is called Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus German Edition and is in German.

The German edition is probably a censored German release which removes certain Nazi symbols like the swastika etc.

It doesn't help me when the only language in that version is German and I'm not from there, so one wonders why it was included for someone from my country ... possibly a mistake. Though for sure we have plenty of German descendants living in AUS, especially in my state.

Both versions have the 4 DLCs.

Nergal01: Yes, Bethesda actually made a big effort to produce "sanitized" versions of TNO, TOB, TNC, Youngblood and Cyberpilot for the German market. No Nazi iconography, your enemies are now called "the regime" and Hitler lost his moustache. Which is no longer necessary, because the uncensored versions of all those games have been available to German customers for about a year now.

I guess it was easier for GOG to include both versions in all purchases, instead of limiting the inclusion of the German version to German customers.

The good news, in turn, is that German customers are no longer barred from getting the uncensored international release.

wcdeadpool: Hi,

Just a little question... As other people noticed, buying the game and SP separately is cheaper than deluxe edition for me. If I buy those, will I also get the freedom chronicles episode 0? ( it is mentioned in the deluxe edition description but not in the season pass page) Thanks ;)
avatar
Nergal01: Yes, according to the gamecard for the season pass, Episode 0 is included. The thing about Episode 0 is this: it's mostly a playable teaser for the three other episodes. IIRC it used to be free DLC on Steam. >_>
Thanks ;)

Crisco1492: Bethesda releases Wolfenstein through 2017, but leaves Skyrim and Fallout on the sidelines. Hmm....
Those include Bethesda Creation Club = lots of Microtransactions, that's why.

They have as of recent years, yes. But the initial release versions didn't. It's not like those games that can't release on GOG because "Steamworks is baked into the code, and can't be removed" (like, say, Serious Sam 3).

Fallout 4 always had CC. Skyrim original did not, but Bethesda is no longer selling it, only the Special Edition, which has CC. I can understand why a compny only want to maintain on e version of a game, not several.

Erm, no. Fallout 4 released in 2015. CC was introduced in 2017 and was implemented in Fallout 4 with Patch 1.10 (see release notes)

Perhaps it's understandable, but having multiple versions is not unprecedented. Several games on GOG have had multiplayer removed for their DRM-free release (Spec Ops: The Line comes to mind). I don't think any Bethesda games are included in that list, but I may be incorrect.

VBProject: S**t racist anti-white pro-communist game.

When can we finally have the option to ignore junk?
Nazi Germany was a Totalitarian Dictatorship, not a communist state. And you're fighting alongside Americans, who are also not a communist state... You'd know this if you read a history book

If you're going to hate a game then at the very least make the effort to find a legitimate complaint

If people are looking to stream the game on Twitch or make a YouTube playthrough, using the censored version will probably help avoid community strikes.

Yeah, cause everyone knows that nazis are commies.

And u can (not) use your wallet to ignore. Simple as that.

I think he's referring to the fact that there is an actual Communist faction in the game which, of course, also opposes the Nazis. Which, however, doesn't make TNC a pro-Communist game. The group you interact with is more a like a bunch of people who've read about the ideology but are far removed from being realistic in any way.

Doom 3 BFG Edition had multi-player removed for the GOG release.

Ah, sorry, my mistake. I did not get it until later, and it had it then, so I guess I got it after that patch

aye, and especially as Bethesda is trying to promote CC anyway, so it makes little sense for them to sell it without

DoomSooth: Nice. :) Not complaining but why are the game and season pass 51 cents cheaper than the Deluxe Edition?
avatar
wolfsite: For some reason that seems rather common, I've seen a number of games that have been cheaper buying the parts separately rather than buying the package edition.
Indeed. In the last sale (Black Friday?) IIRC the Metro Exodus bundle was a lot less discounted than the individual games combined. Bought the games separately and the difference was still something like USD 7.

Judicat0r: Luckily I would say, taking a look at what they did with DooM.
..
Maybe they can make a sequel true to the original.
Eh, I'm okay with Doom. I think a lot of it has to do with the cultural hype that follows it and when id got the chance to make another game in the series, they shaped it accordingly. Does it work for every Doom boy, girl and gelatinous hypersexual omnipresent being out there? Probably not, but the old Doom is still kicking for those types. I'm sure people will age and march on toward their deaths proclaiming that people will "take Doom from their cold, dead hands". Or some weirdos may have stipulations to be buried with it.

With Quake, things shifted radically with who worked on it and who didn't work on it. It going from Lovecraft-ian atmospheric killscape to "ooo-rah, stomp a mud hole in alien butt" to "lolguize, how u like da taste of my railz?!11" makes it hard to know what anyone expects from it as a series anymore. I think id are okay with it being planted in the multiplayer pot for now and that's fine but I would absolutely be ecstatic to see a continuation of what the first game was. Whether it comes as a reboot or a genuine sequel doesn't make much difference, so long as the final result is a damn good game.

I don't think that both games had no CC to begin with does matter. What matters is that CC is making enough money for Bethsda and thus why would they kill that income by a GOG release.

However I hope I am wrong.
