Yes you're both right, sorry about that. Just saw "free weekend" on the store page and a $20 pricetag.

Added it! Thanks again both of you.

What achievements are they?

Actually one I can do right now by just loading my current save file and choosing a different ending.

The others require you to get $10,000 from one Underboss, kill 15 racket informants, make it to the end with just one Underboss, and make 10 enemies kill themselves with their own molotovs.

I never understood why they would reward you for killing the racket informants since saving them gives you more money for your business... But whatever.

Mafia 3 gets a bad rap from that disastrous opening release. It's a great game with a great story, but too bad people will only remember the pre-patch glitches.

Yeah I didn't really expect much. I played 1 on PS2, played about an hour of 2 on PC, so... am kinda surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did.

Oh I forgot, I also liked how they broached the topic of racism of the era, and they showed a wide spectrum of imagery ranging from the super raunchy (like the orgy with a bunch of chicks and guys doin' stuff in a club) to the downright vulgar (the KKK guys selling African Americans above a grocery store.).

It's a weird contrast from the rest of the gameplay which is rather generic.

I enjoyed it throughout, especially the variety in the main missions and the DLC content. It certainly felt a little rushed at the end, though. The choice after the final mission was rather refreshing - it was just more compelling than the stereotypical "good guy" / "bad guy" options you get in games these days.

Overall it was enjoyable though there were some rather aggravating moments. These include those lame supply missions where you have to drive what feels like five minutes to the bayou to steal a slow truck to drive ten minutes back to the opposite side of the map to bump up your income. And Burke's loyalty missions, where you steal cars, was just annoying as hell.

That's the thing that bugs me, I really don't. Normally I play a game, maybe I check the list a couple of times as I play and scoop up what I can, but otherwise once I finish I uninstall and move on.

The fact that I'm so close to 100% in this game though...

Kinda irked that I'm sitting at 94% achievements, and the only achievements I don't have are from playing the game a different way than I did. Which means... replaying the game.

Why would they do this to me. I don't even aim to 100% games but this is gonna bug me.

On one hand: Trump is bad and if he's done anything improper that needs to be investigated

On the other, the idea of an unelected intelligence agency warring with the president is not great.

The latter is a rather terrible scenario. But... The rest of government literally established this investigation, so it's not like some rogue organization is just doing whatever the hell it wants to do.

I believe that since it says "now", and the fact that the article even feel the need to point out that they're doing an investigation, they didn't plan to investigate it at first, it's possible that they still wouldn't, had it not gotten media attention, in which case, TC is right to bring that to attention

You literally can't be serious. This is standard press reporting language. Every news report you will ever read from any source regarding any criminal incident will report on the status of the police investigation.

Also, are you a Swedish speaker? Because "Nu"/"now" would not be used 100% exactly the same as in English.

I don't know if nukes are that much of a deterrent after all. Conventional weapons are pretty devastating too any no country wants to suddenly risk being targeted by all these cruise missiles and stuff.

But anyway, it doesn't matter because this won't happen anytime soon. If everyone else gives up their nukes, being the one country that cheats and keeps nukes has a big payoff. The game theoretics make it tough to see how it could work.

One giant multinational treaty/agreement would be kinda cool but yeah...Can see how effective the US/Russia ones have been :|

I do want to learn the history of region locking now that you mention it, stuff like how it all started, who was the first blaggard who proposed it and what went on from there, etc.

I mean for video games it basically started because a single global video game market meant that games were either being sold at a single price point without factoring in regional economies, or they were being sold at multiple price points factoring in regional economies but then that meant that people in a more expensive area could just buy from a cheaper area.

So in a way it benefits both the company and the customer.

If there were more demand for the shows for the licensing costs then maybe it would be available. You can also blame foreign laws regarding licensing, refunds, etc. for the lack of availability of certain things that are based in the US...

I like it so far

I'm sure it's fine, but about 20 minutes in to the first episode and it seems like the whole plot device that this guy was dead for 250 years seems entirely superfluous to the whole thing.

This kind of reminds me of a Sunday-afternoon early 90's Van Damme film on TNT.

I learned that the US hasn't had an ambassador to South Korea for many months now and the person who was nominated (and confirmed by the South Koreans) had his nomination repealed by our government, because apparently he's not conservative enough (despite the fact he is very conservative, he just doesn't approve of a first strike against NK).

How are the Far Cry games anyway? Just open-world FPS games? Never played one.

First one will always hold a very special place in my heart. It is fairly linear but across very, very open levels so you get a little leeway in how you go about getting to the objective. It's got a dumb plot twist that everyone hates but I personally love it.

Second one and on are open world. This one has the most illogical plot ever. They have some really awesome details / ideas in it (like the buddy system and starting brush fires) but they also went overboard with the attention to detail (every other gun you pick up is going to jam after five shots and explode in your hands after seven, for instance).

Third one has you playing as a college student on vacation fighting against a drug cartel (rofl). It takes a lot of the fun aspects from 2, especially the stealth mechanics, while getting rid of most of the tediousness. There are side missions but they were all written in the span of about ten seconds and take half that long to complete. It's also a bit Assassin's Creed-esque in that you explore, climb and activate towers and find collectibles.

Fourth one is the same as the third except with a slightly more coherent plot and vertical gameplay (thanks to the grappling hook and gyrocopter). Side missions are a little more developed, too.

It's imo a very niche series, since it is open world and lets you go in Rambo-style or sneak around Solid Snake-style, or sometimes do a little combination of both, or even... just do dumb crap like release a wild tiger into a camp and watch it destroy people. There are clearly defined missions, side-missions, and collectibles, so it's not like DayZ or Rust or anything like that, but they are pretty lengthy games for being FPS titles.

If I was buying a car and one of my considerations was environmental impact and I bought a VW and it turned out that they were actively lying about emissions I'd be fucking pissed

Yes. I agree. But it's the US, most people who care about the environment are going to buy a hybrid or electric car to begin with.

RS3: UltimaSuende . On the quest to 99 WC. Currently at 97.

The fact that they think the issue is that people are upset that their cars were more polluting than they were (hint: maybe like two VW TDI drivers maybe actually ever thought about emission pollution when they bought their car).

And then they go on to say "How could a company lie so much to its consumers? i did some investigation and realized the scandal went deeper..."

And they keep talking about Nazis.

It isn't anything special. It's a pretty town. Local brew scene. Lot of history though I don't think it has to do with the Winchester family. It's now infested with heroin.
