I'm with Kern - I never liked it.

Perhaps I've been eating it wrong all these years?

Can't get enough stollen, mind.

I stand on the island of the unknown, as I don't think I've ever tried stollen or panettone, although something with marzipan cubes in it does sound rather good.

Love Stollen, panettone is too "dry" for me, needs more fruit.

The heck?

Toast it, put (salted) butter on it. It’s amazing.

Panettone is a bit shit.

My rigorous vetting process to see if I like cake:

Step 1: Is it cake?

I like it.

I used to think like this, but then I came across the most unholy courgette cake. Nobody liked that. I believe it went in the bin. (after about 15 people had tried it, none managing to finish even a single slice)

Courgettes are shit

Beef lasagne: shit. You’d rather have horse.

Yeah, we all know the extent of your culinary ideals, Findus.

- Sweet potato: shit. I'd rather have a potato.

Sweet potato wedges are better than normal potato wedges.

I'll have you know that horse was just resting in my pancake.

I've enjoyed a nice courgette cake before. Though it's very important that it's not JUST a courgette cake. There needs to be some fun flavouring in there, as the courgette is just bringing the moistness.

Sticking a bonnet on B.J. and infantilizing the player by analogy isn’t exactly an invitation to explore playing Wolfenstein 2 differently. Even just calling one difficulty setting “normal” implies the others are deviant. When you’re fighting to liberate the country from people who believe in eugenics in a game that celebrates difference and diversity, moralizing the difficulty around the struggle (easy equals lazy/bad, hard equals virtuous/good) feels archaic.

I don't get it. Are people upset about being passively mocked for playing games on easy? id games have always done that.

(Also, new Wolf and Doom aren't by iD, haven't been for years.)

LLOL.

I have to say, it's quite nice being able to listen to test match special on my morning commute and be able to have the cricket on TV in the office. As a bonus, it's actually looking to be a decent contest.

Err what? It's a shellacking

N00b tears and wants all games to have all the ways to play them. Thanks to meatyangel for commenting o it on Facebook.

The last 24 hours or so have brought about that most dangerous of thing. Hope!

I agree with him.

I've played through Wolfenstein 2 on 'Bring it on!', and it really is quite uneven difficulty wise. SOme bits are bloody infuriating, some bits are easy as pie. There's bits where it seems to want to be nu-Doom, (here's a small area, defend it, but enemies come from everywhere so don't try to find cover and turtle), but BJ ain't Doomguy, he can't take as much punishment.

I can see how dropping it to easy might help even things out.

If I was designing a difficulty menu for this particular game, I'd go with:

*Story (easy combat and stealth)
*Stealth (focus on the stealth aspect, slightly dumber enemies, slightly weaker enemies, more punishment for getting caught, but ability to reset the alert status by hiding)
*Rock and Roll (combat focused, tougher BJ, more ammo, more health and armour pickups, no stealth aspects at all)
*Full Monty (Game as presented)
*Legendary (for the masochists)

As more AAA games focus on open world design, the idea of needing to “earn” the exploration parts by completing familiar repetitive tasks like “go kill some dude” or “collect a bunch of random stuff feels” almost criminal. People spend years of their lives creating different parts of a game that most people, even the ones who buy it, will probably never see, especially if it’s toward the end.
