Day Three. The waiting decomposing continues for 87.87 GB of the Red Dead Redemption 2 download. Yesterday morning, 15%. Last night, 30%. This morning, 35.5%.

Maybe if they'd left out all the data for shrinking the fucking horse balls the goddam game would download faster.


That's why I've stuck with disc copies for everything since moving out to the boonies, still sucks when say Bo4 drops a 13GB update that I can't avoid.

It's worth it.
 
Blizzard: WOW we really pissed off a lot of people with Diablo.
Bethesda: Watch this

Just the icing on the big failure cake. What is more disheartening is that they most likely gonna use the exact same engine for their next Eldar Scrolls game.

This looks legit, no clue solely basing it off the HOT CHICK!!!
O_o:D;-)

Just Cause 3 was fun ! it's similar to Mercenaries if you've played that. It's open world like GTA, you are virtualy a one-man army fighting some regime on an island and a shadowy paramilitary organisation with crazy gadgets, weapons and vehicles at your disposal.
 
Picked up Tekken 7 again, time to lose all social commitments for a few months, rage that I'm not good enough to beat some sweaty Koreans. Then sell it again.
 
Battlefield V. I can't comment about online play, just single-player campaign.

They had to work out a few bugs before releasing the German Tiger tank episode, but it downloaded yesterday, a day late. And it's freaking awesome.

There are 5 stories you can play at random.

1.) The SBS sabotaging German installations in North Africa. You're pretty much on your own, sneaking around sniping, infiltrating and blowing up radar stations. You can steal vehicles, like Kublewagons (VW Things) and tear-ass around.

2.) Norway resistance fighter. Ok, you're a chick in this one and EA says chicks are here to stay so suck up your gonads and play because this is one of the coolest levels. Again, you're on your own, you're in the mountains in snow in Norway under a full moon--the graphics are really nice. You can steal those German motorcycle/snowmobile things, and you have skis. The skiing is great. You have to infiltrate a German heavy water plant and try to rescue your mom. No shit, she's a big shot in the resistance (and also kinda hot.)

3.) Diversity doesn't stop in Norway. Here you are a French Senegalese African fighting the krauts. In this one you are maneuvering with fellow Senegalese, attacking German AA batteries and a castle.

4.) This is my favorite. You are a Kraut Tiger Tank commander. The tank is awesome. Firing rate is fast, you can switch from 88mm to MG, repair time is fast. It's late in the war, you're fighting in city streets against an overwhelming American armored force. The good news is it only takes one or two 88 rounds to blow up a Sherman.

5.) You're a fighter pilot...I haven't played that one yet.

But why not simply portray historical events the game is based on, like the Norwegian heavy water sabotage, the way it was .... and honour the real heros ? the Norwegian commandos .... who purposefuly left British weapons behind after the sabotage, so that the Germans would not suspect Norwegian resistance in the first place, and thus prevented reprisals on the civilian population.
Not to mention the fact a kid is able to overwhelm dozens of Wehrmacht soldiers in h2h lol - Such details genuinely bother me in games.
 
I've been playing some RDR2 like the majority of the population recently. Ain't half bad. Once payday rolls around again I should be able to pick up Battlefield V. I still play 4 really consistently and enjoy that thoroughly so I'm sure I'll enjoy V.

Yeah...but...if you tell it like it really was then it wouldn't be politically correct. Sheesh, man, this is the 21st Century. We ain't got time for the Truth.

Yeah ....

It's just sad. The last surviving Norwegian who took part in those operations, Joachim Rønneberg, passed away just recently this year. Would have been a great opportunity to honor or at least mention them in some way .... but yeah, who thinks of such things nowadays when you gotta push some agenda.
