New Wolfenstein


This really looks good. No, I don't have it yet, at 55 gigabytes, it's going to be a while before I can actually download that whole thing. Probably going to wait until xmas, when I'll be somewhere that has unlimited internet and I can allow the multiple-hours download.

In any case, I watched about 10 mins of play-through video (which was amusing, the guy doing the playing had it set to lowest difficulty and was getting killed often). Resolution and detail look impressive. Starting out in the wheelchair looks pretty hard. I'll need to go back and play the others (New Order, Old Blood) first.

After christmas: Steam sale had this at half-price, so I bought it. AND did the download, which was only *45* gigabytes. Still took five hours. Just wait until the first serious update, that'll be another 30GB I'm sure. Yeesh.

Bought Return to Wolfenstein too, that was only a couple bucks, and 760 megabytes. Download maybe 10/15 mins…I only vaguely remember that one, there was some crazy Scottish guy and a fat lady who sang.

I supposedly have a Windows 10 installer DVD coming, so I can upgrade the PC, and then maybe play some of this stuff (Prey is still in the wings).

March 1: If I'd been paying more attention, I'd have been able to buy this for Xbox for $30 at Best Buy. I'm sure it would have wanted an update that was huge. This one is in 4K. Geez that's going to be big.

The prior games are pretty cheap on Amazon, New Order + Old Blood for $18. First one seems not available. Since I have a new Xbox One X, with double the disk space, this looks like fun to do over again. Hope the controller aspect doesn't kill me.
