I’m just gonna handwave that off as alternate Youngblood timeline bs, no way she becomes FBI. She calls the feds out multiple times in TNC, hell she was being tried for murder of an agent before Super Spesh helped her
I’m okay with relegating the entire game to alternate continuity status. I liked the twins, but that was about the only thing I liked about Youngblood.
Damn - I’ve been playing through the machinegames Wolfenstein entries recently and was thoroughly enjoying them in spite of the discourse about TNC being a huge letdown (no real complaints from me aside from difficulty in some sections).
Was hoping the same would be true of Youngblood’s reputation but it just seems kinda unpleasant huh. Hope it’s enjoyable in coop anyway cause my partner and I were gonna play through it together
I don’t want to mislead you here, out of all the machinegames entries into the series, Youngblood is the one I’ve spent the absolute least time with. But I found many of the narrative decisions off-putting (again, Grace being made a cop, what the fuck), the dialogue wasn’t great, the gameplay was repetitive, etcetera. With all that being said, it’s been years since I’ve played it, and I’m going purely off of what I’m sure are questionably reliable memories. Since you’ve got somebody to play it with (which is good, because while you can play it solo, I definitely felt like I was missing the point by doing so) by all means, give it a shot. Maybe you’ll come back and tell me that I was being unkind or harsher with hindsight than perhaps was warranted. I’d be happy to be wrong in this case.
Grace’s one and only problem is that she became a cop after the revolution
