The Barzinis are down to a single warehouse, their hub, and their compound. Cuneos are down to their hub and compound (that one remaining warehouse was even more of a bitch than the Straccis. Straccis are down to their compound. The Tattaglias? Gone.

Did all of the hits, all of the favors, Sonny's dead, Michael's in charge, and we already killed Tessio. Now I'm just trying to take over that one fucking Barzini warehouse, and it's a bitch and a half; I haven't even gotten close to the owner to extort him.

They all broke the one rule: never fuck with my family. I just wish Frankie had lived, so Monk wouldn't have gone to the FBI and force me to kill him; he was an awesome original character for the game.

Update:

Finished the storyline. Got everything from the Straccis and Cuneos, including their compound. The hired help with the tommy gun was incredibly useful.

Down to the Barzini compound alone...but they're tough sons of bitches; I've tried for weeks to down them, and only came close to the second compound once.

Star Citizen is free to play for the next couple weeks. Gonna give it a go.

Note that they will try to get you to buy it. Don't. All you need to do is register, verify your email and log in, and then download the game. Don't give the bastards a red cent.

Downloading it so will post what I think. I would love nothing more than to see this one be great btw, even though I suspect they're never going to produce a real game. But they are supposedly in alpha so we'll see.

Is it an RPG? Honestly, I'm waiting until 2025; the only good game that's coming out that I'm even remotely interested in is Assassin's Creed: Shadows (finally an Assassin's Creed game in Japan. And yes, historically, there was an African retainer for a famous samurai, and yes, there was an entire - very shadowy - group of female ninja at around the same time, so it's fairly historically accurate when it comes to the player characters).

If Basim's the modern world protag again, though, I'mma scream in fury. I hate him more than any player character in Assassin's Creed, save for Shay, and he's so much more selfish than even Shay was.

Been playing a lot of Hogwarts: Legacy. Can't wait for the sequel to come out; I've loved this RPG. Hopefully the next one gets more creative with an actual morality system for the Unforgivable Curses, as well as - hopefully - choosing an Animagus form and Patronus. Would that mean that there are even more pants-shittingly terrifying enemies than the fucking Inferi in the dementors? Yep, but it would be worth it.

I completely beat Fable 3! Did all of the achievements possible, got the best possible ending, and I'm excited that I got everything done for an Xbox game (which I haven't been able to do for a while) for once! Next up? The first Assassin's Creed! Gotta get the flags and kill all of the Templars!

Oblivion is a good one.
If they really did improve the archery, I might even give it another shot (even though it's almost impossible to play Elder Scrolls as a Khajiit - my favorite class - or an Argonian - second favorite)...but I hated the hand-to-hand combat in the original, and the archery was fucking impossible.

If they do an upgraded Skyrim, I'd play that as well, but given my bad experience with Oblivion, I've been hesitant on buying Skyrim for the longest time.

On a minor note, I can't wait for Assassin's Creed: Shadows and The Outer Worlds 2.

I really like Skyrim

The class that I have always had difficulty with is a pure sorcerer. And archery does suck too.

However, the combo warrier/mage class is cool.

I actually honestly preferred The Outer Worlds over everything Bethesda has ever made because the combat was just so much more fluid than anything Bethesda's done. I've tried Fallout 4 and Oblivion, and couldn't continue playing them because I was just so frustrated with the combat, and it's why I've been hesitant to try Skyrim (because I thought it was more of the same, only in a different region and with even more bugs) and Starfield (because I thought it was just a poor imitation of The Outer Worlds). But again, if they've upgraded archery (...What can I say? I love ranged combat.), you could persuade me to try Oblivion again, and if they did a version of Skyrim without the bugs and upgrade archery like they say they're doing for Oblivion's remaster, I'd try it as well.

Ha! That's who I work for.... and I don't even game! My name is listed in the credits for Starfueld and all other kinds of games that I haven't even played. I really should start.

In my current position with the company, I directly support ESO.
I thought I remembered someone saying that they worked for Bethesda. Dude that's awesome.

I never messed around with the online stuff, but have been playing the Elder Scrolls since Morrowind. Also got into Fallout.

I don't remember the archery in Oblivion, but I didn't have any issues with Skyrim. My builds somehow always use a lot of archery and sneak. I thought that Skyrim really "simplified" the spell system.
