Bought Shadow of Mordor. Why is the installation file so big. How am I gonna fit all this poo poo on my SSD? I wonder if I can just move poo poo I'm not using over to the hard drive until I want to use it or something.

Like seriously 37 loving gigabytes, what the Christ. Why would I want to download literally every loving audio file in every language this drat thing was dubbed in?

I've got a good graphics card now, but I now have no idea what to play with it. Is FFXIV any good? Or how about Shadow of Mordor?

FF14 is good but it is also an MMO with just about all that that entails, so.

Shadow of Mordor is baller without caveat though

SoM does look pretty easy, but gently caress it, I've been playing STALKER all week, I could take a break from difficulty.

Now I just gotta figure out how to transfer poo poo from my SSD to my hard drive.

Does that game do it? I think companies have been realizing it's dumb and it seems to be disabled in a lot of cases on PC unless you explicitly set things in motion (e.g. set game to English, fully download it, change game to some other language and it then downloads the asset files needed for that while keeping the English so you can switch between them). A ton of games are legit that size now, and annoyingly for a gaming PC unless you're super-vigilant about only playing a few games at a time you pretty much need a traditional hard drive as a secondary drive. A few larger games are even weirdly designed to mitigate SSD advantages; Titanfall doesn't start a match until everyone is loaded and there's a "dropship arrival" sort of cutscene at the beginning of each match which is what people with fast-loading SSD's get to see more off. Just as well since the game is like 60 gigs because they decided all the audio should be converted to PCM uncompressed files for performance reasons.

I've heard bad things but I suspect it's the kind of thing you can deal with if you accept that it's a 360 game.

Note that it's only available on disc (no digital edition) and it requires a hard drive (you can't use USB storage for the install) and a 7.2 gig install.

PS3 version is available digitally if that's an option for you.

Stick of Truth is a great game and is worth playing even if you're not a fan of the series itself. The mechanics are fun and easy to pick up and it stands as a good game on its own.

It takes six days to create an episode of South Park. The video game has taken three years. Plagued by delays, The Stick Of Truth is finally out today, but is Matt Stone happy?

No, because it’s been censored in Europe. A total of seven scenes involving abortion and anal probing have been removed, which gives you some indication of just how far he and Trey Parker have gone to ensure you – in the words of the theme song – have yourself a time.

‘We weren’t going to change the content, so we’ve written little cards to explain what is going on, what they’ve censored, and made a joke out of it,’ says Stone.

If they actually have little cards explaining an anal probe for EU gamers then lol.

"They" are the ones who censored it. In an interview PEGI (EU ratings people) had no idea why the content was changed - both versions got the same rating. AFAIK the pc version is uncut anyway.
