Yeah, about half the length of Wolf14, which is still around six hours.

Why would you care about third party support if you have a PC? Secondly, is the hardware really that undesirable if it runs games that you want to play?

I'd love for Nintendo games, in fact all games, to come to PC but it doesn't mean that I won't buy an NX or whatever Nintendo brings out next.

Because there's a zero chance i'm going to buy a Nintendo console for the select few exclusives i'm interested in. Never owned a N64, never owned a GC, never owned a Wii, never owned a Wii U and most likely i'm never going to own a NX. I get better results directing that money for a PC upgrade. And who knows what awful controller they have this time and i'm sure people would love to play their games at resolutions higher than 1080p and all the other perks games get for being on PC.

And it feels about 2 hours too long, as well.

I really didn't like The Old Blood. The New Order was so, so much better. I can't blame anyone for bailing out partway through -- certain areas were a real slog to get through.

thank god it runs well on my 5400rpm drive since those megatextures are shit anyway

i'd be dreading this on my SSD

I got rid of those, loud, failure-prone platter drives ages ago. Half-terabyte SSDs are ~150 Canadian. It's better to just have a smaller roster of games on your main drive that you play than have 30 games installed at once. If you haven't played a game in six months, why even have it installed? Make a steam backup and drop that on your 5400. I wouldn't run my MP3s off such trash.

This. The Old Blood was an awesome idea that just didn't really have the punch that The New Order did. I was super disappointed in it, as The New Order was my GOTY 2014 (and is probably one of my favorite games ever, at this point).

Open-world games with driving where you have no choice but to bounce from the minimap to the view in front of you to see/reach your objective. Like, 90% of the time.

Why.

I'm living that integrated graphics life. You know what? If feels OK. It's a little direction change and now I can test my "rig" on old stuff like Max Payne and Fallout 2 and adventure games. This is fine. flames.jif

it's funny how similar Wolfenstein is to Half Life 2

that whole concept of having a weapon do a cool thing that allows you to progress and keep upgrading it throughout the game and all that

the vehicles and having to get off them to unlock stuff and then jump back

there's some real similarities in there
