Yep. I just deleted it to make room for the new Hitman.

Yep, the download continues for me...and continues...and continues. I'm hoping it's done in time for the downloads of fresh purchases tomorrow.  ;D

Done - and unfortunately you need to log in/create some crappy Social Club website. I'm done with these games. I want to load the game and play. I'm so pissed off with all these clients needed - Games for Windows Live, Social Club, Battlefield...no more. From now on any game that requires a third party account can stay with them.

JH - why did you uninstall it? Was it that bad or was it that you had played it?

It just didn't grab me.

I loved the first one - but I have to admit I kind of felt the same way about the second one. Where I completed the first outing a couple of times, I never finished the second.

We'll see.

I've been eyeing that myself. LMK what you think.

I've played the first couple of chapters.  Good production values but they are cutting the action with cutscenes too frequently for my tastes.  I hope that's just for tutorial/exposition purposes and that it'll be less frequent in later stages.

^ I agree. I LOVE games with a story - I easily find them the easiest games to complete - BUT - there's a considerable amount of cutscenes in this - and they're long!

But great production value, quality gaming and I really get the character - in much the same way I did the first one - the confused, mixed up copper.

Great stuff so far (but I hope the cutscenes reduce in length...they can be too long)

I doubt they'll shrink by much. A lot of cutscene video is probably why this game was such a download monstrosity.
