    It takes 70-90 seconds to launch Modern Warfare 3

    That’s it? Launching Warzone takes at least ten times that, between daily 45GB updates, multiple restarts when updating, unskippable intro videos and PS2-era loading times.

      Wtf who would play that? I’m not waiting 10 minutes to play a videogame - that’s a 6th of my free time every day.

        Not willing to wait 10 minutes to play a game? You Sir, or Madam, have never played modded Rimworld.

        Now imagine loading a game, realizing your mods aren’t quite right, and having to exit out and reload.

        As to 10 minutes to something like Warzone… no. Just no. An online battle royal type game needs to be fast. It can’t be all laid back and calming like Rimworld, the colony/warcrimes simulator.

          Yeah, but if you’re playing rimworld, you’re already a masochist.

            Just because everything is on fire, my cook has food poisoning, my researcher is punching the boomalope, and my hunter is running from the fire, doesn’t mean I’ve lost control.

            No everything is probably okay as long as there’s no raid or mech cluster.

            Plus, I’ve learned by now to not have wooden bases, and to keep the flammables and boomalopes on opposite sides of the base. Chemfuel goes over in that little building over there, with a thin roof. Still need to remember that firefoam poppers are a thing.

            So it’s not a total loss. And that was the highlights of yesterday’s play session.

                    Are you me - similar number of days, uni assignment due (3000 words), no breakdown though.

                    Download it after your assignment… this is a start playing at 7pm and 5 min later “oh shit its 3am” kinda game.

          Look, modding is a game on its own. Getting to play the modded game just means you’ve already won the main event

      Just because there’s worse, doesn’t mean we should accept bad.
