The new vidja game is out and it goes back to their WWII roots.
First the good. The visuals are stunning, naturally. They don't rehash a movie story line like they did in previous versions 15 years ago. Which was fine, then, but to do it again, now, would be too tedious. You follow a unit of the First Division, Normandy in. The character acting is actual acting.
You get to fight Nazis, but without having to go full Commie. That's always fun. In other words it's ALL Big Red One, no jumping to Stalingrad or what have you.
The bad. The game is a little buggy. Delays in lip synching. On the troop ship before landing the hanging light over the poker table went all wonky. And worst of all, I am not the player I was 15 years ago. The bugs will prolly be patched a bit post release, my abilities won't.
Worth the money? Meh. Some games you know in the first 15 minutes if they are worth the money or definitely not. This is neither of those.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
