Music, TV, Movies / Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warf...

Last post by Silent Disapproval Robot - Yesterday at 05:04:02 PM

I watched this last night. Found it very frustrating because all the parts were there to make a good movie. The sets were good. Budget was good. Everything looked great. It's loosely based on a true story which was pretty nuts and should have made for a very good, high risk commando raid type story. Sadly, the tone was way off for me. Guy Ritchie decided to portray the commandos/SOE agents as a wacky band of hyper-competent unconventional misfits and the Axis and Spanish forces as bumbling morons so there was no sense of risk or tension at all. To me, it came across as a bad combination of an episode of The A-Team, Hogan's Heroes, and Inglorious Bastards.

Really wanted to like it but it left me cold in the end because it could have and should have been so much better than it was.

Looks like Ghosts will suffer the same fate.

However, it is being stated by the company in this article the account is not required for single player mode, although I certainly understand people who want to do online co op would be impacted, especially in the countries that can't even get an account. Seems like they are leaving a lot of money on the table by not finding a different way to handle online modes and they are certainly going to be crushed by review bombs. At least for me, I only play single player mode so plan to enjoy it for what it is.

Building my appetite for Tsushima. 20+ years on and the original Shogun Total War Kublai Khan campaign has still got it.

Believe for multiplayer an account is required, not for single player.
