Wanted to reinstall Cold War, big bump in player base and all. But that install size is a huge turn off. People should really give a go though. The zombies portion is a real treat, especially Outbreak mode.

 

[Corian33]

Got the original Alan Wake on a steam sale but never finished it. Perfect timing to get another go at it. Always up for running through a COD campaign and I’ve never played that one.

Pretty solid month for me.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Time to go back to cold war

 

[DeepEnigma]

COD Total size 308gb Thank God PS5 SSD is Cheaper!

 

[Hestar69]

Who wants to hear something hilarious?

My ps5 wants 223GB to install Cold War.

Hahahaha hahahaha hoooooo hahahahahaaaahah hahaha hahahahahaaaahah...stop, please, stop...my sides.

even to just play the campaign? thats such bs! I just want to play the SP but 223 gigs fuckkk thattt

I'll install AW as I love it and its been years since i beat it on 360

 

[Rendered Tangent]

You can delete the campaign when finished and save 70gigs. It took up about 170gb when I'd the packs I wanted installed.

Are you sure?

I read somewhere that you have to download the campaign because it's where all the assets are taken from to run the multiple.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Holy fuck, all those GB’s. I thought CoD was supposed to shrink install size this gen?

They only started doing that with MW2. Weird cause the tools for shrinking file size has been in place from the get-go.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

I should really play through original Alan Wake … now might be the time

 

[EDMIX]

There’s a reason why I switched to Battlefield, call of duty comes across as immature, and I’m not trying to stir the pot.

Same.

I like what I played with MW2 reboot playing just the regular playlist stuff that I enjoyed like Team Deathmatch, Domination, Free For All, etc, but I just couldn't get back into the IP.

More hours in 2042 and will continue to play 2042 until the next BF comes out, I'm just use to the BF formula and love the gameplay concept.

I am sure and if you don't want to play zombie's you can delete more. It's all broken up into packs.

 

[Rendered Tangent]

I am sure and if you don't want to play zombie's you can delete more. It's all broken up into packs.

Thing is, I've still got to download it all to then delete the stuff I don't want and I only have the internal storage available.

No you don't. Just download what you need. If you only want campaign it's not that big.

 

[Operations66]

Cold wars zombie mode is good fun. Put many hours into that (don't care for cod otherwise). I'll check out anal wake

How did you enjoy the anal wake?

 

[Jesb]

Nice additions.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I can see why Alice left him.

Al has the stamina of a sloth.

Playin Cold War.

- They changed the voice actors for Hudson and Mason.
- The framerate on the PS5 version is inconsistent. In a cod game…
- Graphically looks way worse than MW 2022.
- Gunplay feels more stiff than MW2. It doesn’t even let you mount on corners.

This has given me new appreciation for MW2’s campaign. What the fuck lol

edit: also this shit is 240gb lmaaaoooo thats as much as final fantasy xvi, modern warfare 2022, and street fighter vi put together

 

[DeepEnigma]

Beat Endling last night. Such a charming little game with a great soundtrack.

Spoiler

The ending gave me the sads tho

Cold War didn't use the revamped Modern Warfare engine, used a heavily modified black ops engine, that's why the graphics are worse and missing gunplay features.

I was super excited to download Alan Wake and after 2 hours I'm super excited to delete it

Let’s stay on the topic of video games please.

You got further than I did.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Cold War is a good game. RPD was a great weapon that mowed down enemy players.

 

[Kerotan]

Completed Alan Wake now I'm on the dlc. Pretty decent game.

 

[DuduIsDisappointed]

Is the campaign for Cold War not downloadable?

 

[Forsete]

Is the campaign for Cold War not downloadable?

Worked for me last week.

The download is YUGE. I wish you could skip downloading some features to make the game smaller.

 

[Kusarigama]

Is the campaign for Cold War not downloadable?

It is downloadable. But it is included as an add-on. The base game is made upof multiplayer and zombies and one more mode, I forgot which it was.

 

[adamsapple]

Borderlands and the Yakuza games are laving PS+ at the end of the month.

I have BL3 downloaded, but haven't been able to play it because of other releases, not sure if I have enough time to finish it before it leaves the service.

I'm currently playing through one of the Yakuza games, do they stop working if you already have them downloaded like they do on gamepass?

 

[Bojji]

Most likely.

 

[Ceadeus]

Cold War is much fun. More thanmw2 and vanguard for sure. Too bad I've just got it on xbox and pc to play with my friends.

 

[ReBurn]

I'm currently playing through one of the Yakuza games, do they stop working if you already have them downloaded like they do on gamepass?

Yes. The license for PS+ Extra games expire when the games leave the service so you'll need to finish before then.

 

[adamsapple]

Correct, you'll be asked to buy it to play it when it 'leaves' PS+ just like how it is with games on GP.

Tried it too. The gameplay isn't terrible, but the writing is honestly dreadful. I can put up with a little hammy dialogue here and there (God knows I've played enough Resident Evil), but it's not cute when writing so ham-fisted is so self-serious.

 

[adamsapple]

For people who have played it, how long is BL3 ? Is it realistically possible to finish it by the end of the month with a 2~ hour daily play time ?

I chuckled at the "white male" comment from Alice on the tape in The Writer DLC. Even as far back as 2010 that shit was in there. Who knew a decade later of what it would balloon into, culturally.

If you start Borderlands 3 today or tomorrow you might still be able to finish it. The base game is around 25 hours long, but rushing it will save you a few hours.

 

[DuduIsDisappointed]

I had no idea abou that. I thought it was the opposite like the usual.

Thanks!

 

[adamsapple]

Aeyoo, Borderlands 3 is a pretty damn fun game (minus the cringe humor and dialogue). I should have started playing this a while ago.

This and the fact that you cannot attain the platinum without going into multiplayer. Immediately made it even less appealing so not even going to play the campaign.

you can mainline the story in 20 - 25 hours, but it is a slog if you have played BL and BL2, prepare for more of the same. fast food, you know what you are getting.

 

[Kusarigama]

And for the heck of it I am gonna download it and play the campaign and delete it.

Beat the campaign, took about 5-6hours and promptly deleted the 217gb game.

 

[Tsaki]

I was big on CoD in the 2009-2015 period (as in they were 90% of my gaming time) so I was mildly excited to get in the Cold War MP for "free". But wtf is this time to kill?! I can barely see the camper's head peaking and as soon as I do I'm dead. Downloaded over 100GB to then delete them after 15 minutes of gameplay. I guess Warzone and Destiny TTK made me much less tolerating to see-first-kill-first situations.

Whoever wrote this and Control are stealing a living.

I think the gameplay is pretty meh too.
