Is Sniper Elite V2 still worth playing? (Retrospective)

Me and my dad when i was in highschool would play the free demo alot and we both thought it was awesome

An excellent review.
I got this as part of the SE bundle so it didn't cost me $40, and I wouldn't pay that for this game, but as a remastered older game it's fun and interesting to play and see how the series has developed. In some ways it's harder than the later games, as you can't save at will, but have to hit a checkpoint, and the greater linearity forces a certain play style. I'm only on the second mission.
Even in SE5 you still get Karl in the cutscenes, and not even with your chosen loadout/outfit but what chose to use, that seems very poor and lazy programming.
Also in SE5 we still get very dumb enemy AI at times; a close miss or non-lethal hit freezes the target for a second shot, rather then diving immediately for cover and THEN trying to figure out where the shot came from. It's almost as if they don't value their digital lives.

underrated ASF subbed cuz u deserve more of them

I'm halfway through 3 but I didn't play the DLC for this one! might have to go back before starting 4

Your input and analysis are very thorough and enjoyable man. I subbed and I await your further projects in my feed❤️

I actually turn off the Ambient Occlusion, due to it being a poor implementation that ends up looking like hard outlines around objects and giving a more cartoon look in some areas, it was strange. Granted, it does look good in some areas, but turning it off still looks just as good, it's easy to get used to seeing things without it and doesn't bug me every once in a while like the poor AO does. Honestly, I wish they would've given an option to use HBAO, SSAO, etc. for PC users, or at default to something based off what GPU brand is detected.

Just bought v2 remastered for 5er and 4 for 5er too.

the sound in this game is excellent

Wanting for new vids man

Great video! Your style of humor reminds me of Purposeless rabbit holes. You're mellower which is nice though.

Unexpected Dickbutt was unexpected.

I started on SE4 and really enjoyed it so went on to SE3 expecting it to be a huge back step. I was wrong, it looked just as good. Maybe smaller maps.
Then I went to SE2 remastered and couldn't play it for more than 5 minutes. Pretty much the same as Zombie Army Trilogy, that got turned straight off as well. There's no real tagging because the arseholes pop up out the ground when you get to a set point. I'm not up for jump scares or run-n-gun games.

Thank you for making this. I have such fond memories of playing this game. The online game was great too.

I am obsessed with the Sniper Elite series, I honestly can't explain it. I love all the games, including V2. V2 might seem old school and dated by modern standards, but thats why I love it. The linear levels keep the pacing interesting (though there are plenty of moments that are relatively open), and I honestly love how simple and straightforward the gameplay is. No bells and whistles, just fun sniping and great atmosphere.

I really hate the sniper battles though, especially on the hardest difficulty. Their vision and accuracy is too fucking good. This was done a lot better in future games

Another solid video. Really appreciated the bits that go over historical context.

We need more V2 games

I grew up with medal of honor ps1 and medal of honor frontline remastered ps3 with the sniper elite series I have the same feelings again played 4 and 3 and now 2 I love it !

Do you love sniper elite or do love karl

It's good, I enjoyed the game

Hi I need the coop trophy ,bomb happy‘ for sniper elite v2 can someone help me please?

sniper elite 1 actually had a very distinct sfx to mask your shots not really guess work, in the background there'll be an artillery probably shooting like 3 or 4 shells, when the shell hit sound comes up you have to take your shot quick. It's a bit precise than the later games

you called a ppsh a Chicago typewriter the Thompson is the Chicago typewriter

This video made me pull the trigger on the game. I've enjoyed my time in SE3 & 4 massively, and V2 has been on my wishlist for a long time. I'm expecting to be zoned out for hours on end in this one!

This is an excellent video. When I went to your channel and seen you only had 66 subs I was shocked! Keep up the great work.
