It's so weird. They said in 2018 that Wolfenstein 3 was planned, and that the plot of the game would focus around the Nazi's Sonnengewehr (Sun Gun) they kept building up and teasing throughout the trilogy. Then they release Wolfenstein Youngblood with BJ's daughters, it is poorly received, and they just cancel Wolfenstein 3 after that? We get it, people hated Youngblood and found BJ's daughters obnoxious, but that is no reason to cancel 3, it just means you need to give us playable BJ again, and have his daughters be non-playable NPC's, and give them some character development during the game, show them growing up and leaving their immaturity behind over the course of the game, if you pull it off you can not only give BJ one last final sendoff game, but also make his daughters likeable enough that people might one day want to play as them again, in some future side game or an expansion for Wolfenstein 3. Just because it is hard, doesn't mean you give up and cancel it. It's not like sales were poor either, so that is also no excuse, while Youngblood didn't sell that great, Wolfenstein 2 sold more than enough to justify 3's existence. |
Not just BJ's daughters being particularly unlikeable, but the needless RPG elements added to the game and mtx. It just went the complete opposite way of what the past few Wolfenstein games were all about. That change was well really brought down my enjoyment of the game.
The late 2010's Bethesda was all over the place trying to change with the industry rather than focusing on what they're best at. BGS - FO76, Arkane Austin - Redfall, Arkane Lyon - Deathloop (good but a far cry from the game design that made Dishonored great) MachineGames/Arkane - Wolfenstein: Youngblood
All were games that Bethesda higher ups chose for their developers to make, and they just backfired.
