Has it though? I found it to be dull and tedious, what with the scanning for "evidence", pointless walking around until something happens, the shitty guns that are no fun to use, the idiot A.I. that does nothing, the utter linearity of it all, etc. etc. I'm just not feeling it.

I pre-loaded* this game (*pre-ordered it, and then it fully downloads a couple days before release so you can play it at midnight on release day), so I didn't experience anything like that.

However, I just bought MLB 15 The Show off the PS Store yesterday morning and that took about 6 hours to install. I'm thinking its more an issue with PSN and whatever internet traffic they may have at the time rather than the games themselves.

Another crazy thing about the game is that it takes up almost 50 gigs of hard-drive space, that's GTA V, and Dragon Age sized, and yet the game is WAY smaller than those. Just everything about it is so half-assed.

Well, when you put in that way, maybe I'm only making myself like it since it took FOUR DAYS to install. I hate the scanning for evidence and am hoping the action picks up a little. I do like the "episode" format, but it can feel like a little too much watching and not enough doing. Still, I'll finish the campaign after all I went through to be able to actually play it (which is of course insane--NICE, EA).

Re: Battlefield:hardline

I requested this from the local library. Looking forward to running through the campaign. I'll stick to B4 for my multiplayer fix

Re: Battlefield:hardline

Finished up the campaign yesterday, and I'll just say I'm glad I didn't end up buying this one. The game itself it an OK FPS, but not a great Battlefield game. I did try to hop in a couple multiplayer matches, but without really knowing what was going on, those didn't really go too well. Hopefully Battlefield 5 puts the series back on track.
