BF4 Ordered

Just ordered my copy of BF4
Not impressed by the beta but I only played it for a few hours and it is only a beta so I'm expecting the game to be better.
I ordered from game as they give instant access to all chopper upgrades. It was £4 more than at shopto but at least I don't have to mess around waiting to get decent weapons and defence systems.

Just have to try and fit it in with GTA
Saving up to buy an apartment at the mo :/

Lets hope you aren't disappointed then

You do know the upgrades are for BF3 and not BF4.

Wouldn't touch Game with a Barge Pole,besides didn't you say it was basically junk and you would not be buying it,i can understand the change of mind if you are getting the next generation console versions,but since you are sticking with that ageing hardware i don't really think you are going to see much difference.

I bought a garage yesterday, but it's a hard slog earning bunces isn't it? If I don't get my 500k from Rockstar pretty soon, I may get bored. You need to be at it non stop and if I hadn't got the free sports car for buying a garage, I doubt I would ever have been able to buy one. They need to up the rates on most of the activities in my opinion.

W T F I thought you were joking but you're not.
That's really sneaky so I'm going to cancel my order now and re-order from shopto


Right that's cancelled
Will re-order tomorrow

I cancelled on the chat thing. I said "thanks and good bye" She said "your welcome"

I won't be buying BF4 even on the PS4 until I have seen it properly demoed and am confident it is in fact a proper next gen build. They bleat on about engine scalability across generations but I don't quite buy it. If it does look anywhere near the PC version we keep seeing, I might change my mind.

I have a garage, it's a grotty dirty little place. :/
Survival games are the best earners, $20k if you can get to the end.

What else do you expect from Game and there Customer service,any retailer worth there salt would have tried to keep your order .

There was a time when Game where the only place I would ever buy games from,frim there many retail / town and city shops to there online store.

They got extremely greedy and very unreliable regarding delivery times and launch dates and I don't think I have used them for about 4 years or since I found Shopto.

Now there have been done bad reports regarding customer service and Shopto,I even think Spook had a Run in with them because they kept a payment of 10 p from him .

Now as of yet they have treated me extremely good,which I expect if I'm honest because I class myself as a VIP customer and have spent a small fortune on there site.

The day they don't will be the day I look elsewhere ,but where else there is to go is another matter because we are not exactly inundated with reliable online game sites .

And yeah, Shopto were the ones who told me to ask Timey for the money...

Looking good so far.

Now this looks like a completely different game from the beta i played on the Playstation 3 and how i expect games should look on new hardware.

Based on these videos and the fact its on a Playstation 4��..Im in

Nice Vids matey

Have to say both the Playstation 4 and Xbox One look very close if not on Par with a nice PC.

Playstation 4 v Xbox One

Another Comparison

Its a Breath of fresh air to finally get a Playstation 4 version of the game that actually looks better than its Xbox One Counterpart,and i just hope in the future we get the ultimate edition on the Playstation 4.

last generation the 360 took all the spoils when it came to multi platform games and always 99% of the time had the better version but finally Sony seems to have got this console developer friendly and we won't be seeing shoddy Playstation 4 ports ever again.

I play survivals to build up the cash quick. I can't remember the name of the one I play, it's where the scrapyard is on the right of the town. Wave 10 is 20k cash like you say and on that map you can just sit in one of the tin warehouses and avoid the choppers and let stuff come into you.

If you do that one or two times a night along with other missions you soon rack up the cash! I bought the £390k apartment last week in the hills the view is amazing Now trying to fill the 10 slot garage with beautiful cars!!

I know the one you mean, there's another where two of you can hide behind a cabin and just destroy the hillbillys

I'm going to go for a highend apartment. I'm worth it
I have $180k in the bank at the mo so maybe able to get one tonight.

Good article here about them http://www.officialplaystationmagazine.co.uk/2013/10...


Last night one of my American friends called a hooker up to his apartment. My Scottish mate was having a lap dance with 3 Americans doing the jerk sign around him. Sad maybe but very funny.
This is without doubt the funniest game I've ever played.

Edited by deleted (Tue 29-Oct-13 11:28:18)

Hahaha that is pretty hilarious! I had no idea you could bring a hooker back to the apartment, I assume you get them in the car off the street and then park in your garage and she is in your apartment?

Yea my mate bought the 240k apartment and it's exactly the same interior as mine except the view is different. He still has an amazing view but the 390k one is a bit better. It certainly isn't worth the extra 150k though so if I was you I would buy one of the 200+ ones and leave the top end. I wish I had done that now!

Once Rockstar give us this 250k then I am going to use the money to buy a couple more cars. I bought the Coquette I think it is basically the Corvette over the weekend that was 150k and is an absolute beast. I want to tune it up but it costs soooo much to tune the cars

I think he said you have to get the number of a hooker from the lap dancing club then give her a call when you're in the apartment. If you ignore her for a while she gets pissy and [censored] off

I think this is my mates apartment 4 Integrity Way, Apt 35 Downtown Los Santos, Los Santos, $247,000, 10 car garage
View is fine

I think I'll get one like that and like you say fill the garage

I'd wait till the supermarkets have it and buy from them but I'm worried they might not have the China Rising Expansion Pack. Surely they would???
What do you reckon???

Fat Chance��.Supermarkets only ever have basic editions of games�..

The pre-order version of BF4 will all have China Rising dlc its released in December, once the game launches on the 1st of Nov, the china rising dlc will be removed- happened with BF3.

I wasn't gonna but I had to. Damn it.

Preordered the PC version from Timey's favourite supplier, Amazon. It was the cheapest I could find it for at £30.99 with free 1st class delivery. Incs China Rising..

I hope they have a decent amount of maps then as I'm getting suspicious about EA's strategy for milking BF fans.

But this looks so good: new multiplayer launch trailer.

Amazon......Get real

You might get it around the Playstation 4 release date based on there track record of getting games to there clientele by launch..

Infact myself and mrnelster will have probably played a few rounds of Killzone and you will be sitting on the window pellmit waiting for the package that never arrives"..........Amazon......Amazon...

Rarther take a chance of Comet online......

Your not related to Swanny by any chance are you....he has spent the last week or so trolling every internet site in Asia and all the sweatshops associated with the Far East for spare parts for a Sony Duelshock 3

Amazons delivery is pretty good for pre-ordered games, ive always gotten the game either before or on the day of release.

Their are 10 maps on release for BF4- which work for all game modes, China rising in December will add a further 4 and the other 4 dlc packs will add further maps.

Me and Swanny are Wiltshire boys. Does that mean we're tightwads by birthplace? I don't know. Maybe it's the (West) country air? Moo!

10 maps with 4 more on the way. Good stuff.

Shame the other DLC packs cost so much. Half the price would be nice, eh Timey?

Just had a email from Blockbusters.....Apparently now I have to pay them a tenner to trade in my Playstation 3 ......Bargin if ever I saw one.

Apparently the single player part of the game is another tacked on boring experience and only 4 hours in length .....Saying that the game looks stunning on next generation consoles and I can not believe the difference from the junk looking playstation 3 version I played.

Might pop into Blockbusters tomorrow see if I can pick up a Nintendo Wii U for a fiver

You're just jealous because you live up north in all the smog
Tis lovely down ere

I'm going to wait for a cheap dual shock now

Thanks I'll order it then

Don't fink youz got awfority!

What do you think about the next gen versions SPOOK? Up there close to PC or did you expect better?

What do you think about the next gen versions Swanny? Up to your expectstions or did you expect better? Do they tempt you into grabbing a PS4 earlier?

To be honest I haven't given the ps4 much thought, Not really bothered about getting one at the mo but if they are really amazing I might get one.
What do you think?

I think the PS4 videos look great especially as they are from YouTube. Uncompressed it should look even better.

I think the Xbone looks like a major improvement aswell, although the lens flare thing is a bit much for my old eyes. That said, the PS4 version looked a little dark for my liking aswell.

Anyway, the crisp outlines and greater draw distance will probably mean I will give it a go. I've always really wanted to like BF3, but the lag ruined it for me. This time round I will take a different approach with a lot more sniping.

And there was I thinking I was special... You just cut and pasted that didn't you? Send out a survey whilst at it, eh?

To be honest, I don't know as I don't tend to scrutinise stuff too much these days (doctor's orders).

But, what I will say is it bothers me that there's gonna be versions for old (current) gen consoles and new as it smacks of holding back a little in developmental efforts. It makes perfect sense in a way of course as that's where the existing market is but I'd like to see what devs make exclusively of the next gen. In many ways, BF4 looks exactly like BF3 to me but then, I've been playing on a PC. I can't turn all the eye candy right up to the max but for these types of games - online fps - it's more about the competitive edge and people have been known to turn down detail levels to reduce the appearance of cover etc (I'm talking about BF2 and BF1942 really tho I expect the same applies to BF3).

For me, I like good graphics of course - it helps create an immersive atmosphere to play in so I prefer graphics detail to having a higher K|D ratio. I like to just wander around looking at all the pretty stuff like clouds and flowers. If they do a good job for Xbox 360 and PS3 this time I will be impressed and I hope they do manage that of course. Are you getting BF4 then Mr N? And if so, for the PS3 or PS4? I'm looking forward to the return of Commander Mode just out of curiosity though I fear it will quickly become a nuisance like it used to be with artillery going off every 5 seconds.

Incidentally, what do you guys think is a fair price to pay for a game then?

For:

PC?
Xbox 360/PS3?
Xbox One/PS4?

Little survey for ya.

And there was I thinking I was special...

I had you down as being a bit special a long time ago.

I'll probably pick up BF4, on the PS4 after Christmas at some point. Most of my friends will be on COD Ghosts so I suspect I will devote a fair amount of time to that as well.

As for the fair price for a game? That's a difficult one. I don't think any should be above forty quid to be honest, as Sony exclusives are generally far superior to multi plats and they sell at forty quid. For PC games I'm not really qualified to comment, but as there is no subsidy when buying the rig to start with, I would say thirty is fair for the big AAA titles. As you said, I like pretty games too and understand that that is always going to cost more to produce.

What I hate is games like Skyrim suffering technically on one platform, yet still being farmed out at full price. I am really disappointed that I never got to play it, but I refused to pay for a shoddy port.

Hopefully the new architecture will mean this never happens again.

Can't argue with that.

Played Skyrim briefly on Xbox 360 but on a [censored] old CRT tv and it looked sh...|t. Definitely improved after the official HD texture pack.

Well, I'm off to pick my nose with a fork (being the special guy I am).

There ain't no tent big enough in this world that will prevent me from tracking you down and turning you into a brum cullender. Anyway, with that new radar perk thingy, it'll be like the war of the Ready Brek men.

4 weeks left matey

Last night me and my Scottish mate were playing GTA and we could see our American BF3 mates coming on the PS and playing BF4
After a few hours one of them (long time level 100 BF3) joined us in GTA. I asked him what BF4 is like. He said "Don't waste your money, they ruined it by trying to make it more like COD, the maps are pretty cool but it sux"


We all agreed that GTA is much more fun to play.
So I don't think I'll bother getting it



**Edit**


I managed to buy an apartment last night. Nice place, it cost me $253k
Just in the process of filling the garage now, trouble is all the cars I steal have trackers fitted so I can't get them into my garage

Edited by deleted (Wed 30-Oct-13 10:34:08)

Can't you take the stolen cars to a chop-shop?

How come your US buddies are all playing BF4 already? That would be on the PS3 yeah? Apart from playing like COD were there any other issues?

To tell the truth, the BF4 demo was nothing like COD when I played it. Though it's definitely true that BF3 morphed more into COD-like arcade style gameplay when it was released though more in looks I thought.

What maps were these guys playing then? Must've been small sized infantry levels? When there's a high concentration of players in a confined space it gets more than a little hectic with people respawning every other minute at times. I wonder if their gaming experience was skewed by being similar to one of the type of maps you get in the BF3 Close Quarters?

The large scale BF4 demo map with choppers and tanks was much like the traditional Battlefield experience to be sure. I enjoyed it anyhow. Not cancelling.

Yea you can take cars to the chop shop but if they are expensive they tell you they are too hot and won't let you in.

BF4 is out over in USA on the PS3
He didn't say alot about it as we were in the middle of a hillbilly battle when he joined. He isn't impressed with it. I'm going to get it but don't think I'll be spending much time on it as GTA is too much fun to leave

I preferred BFBC to BF3 at the beginning but it grew on me. Not sure I'll give BF4 the chance at the moment.

BF4 launched in the USA on Monday for all platforms- Europe has to wait till Friday or if you play on PC and get a digital code can just use a us vpn to unlock the game.

As for the dlc, in about 3-6 months Origin and other online stores will likely put premium to half price- so 20 pounds for the remaining 4 dlc.

As for the price of games most console titles are 45-35 pounds on launch- pc varys from 35-20 but it all depends on the publisher.

As for BF4 i would look at the independent online reviewers online as they will give the most unbias view of the game.

In the USA and Canada they have there release days in the week,Tuesday and Friday ,big games come out always 3 days before the Uk and always on the Tuesday.

Make your mind up will you,in one thread your not getting it and 5 minutes later your now getting it..


Swanny your a Hardcore Battlefield Nut and even of the reviews where dire you would buy it,and to say GTA5 is more fun is also debatable and are two totally different type of games.

First of you have to have a full retail copy of Battlefield 4 to make that statement....


Don't worry myself and mrnelster will tell you what your missing on the FPS. From the minute we get are mits on a Killzone Shadowfall.....I'm going to bombard these forums with Shadowfall posts to the extent that it will make you wish you had pre/ ordered a Playstation 4.

I'm even going to tell you how awesome Battlefield 4 looks on next gen....just cause I can

It's not debatable to me I know that playing GTA V is the most fun I've ever had playing a game. Me and my mates are always laughing about something. I really enjoy it. I never knew killing Hillbillys would be so funny


Here's my mate http://bf3stats.com/stats_ps3/ramone1976 he has 1574 hours of BF3 play time and he's not impressed with BF4


Look forward to hearing your review of BF4 on the PS4

Waiting till post Christmas when might get around to getting a new console, or just might get a new graphics card and go all PC.

Had a long break from BF3 but enjoying coming back to it

Ah ok. I didn't realise we were so close to BF4 launch date. Was expecting late November for some reason.

So, there's a good summary of maybe why your pal in the States is so disappointed with BF4 over at Trusted Reviews:

In reference to www.trustedreviews.com/battlefield-4_Games_review:

As anyone who�s seen Battlefield 3 on PC and on PS3/Xbox 360 can tell you, there are some visual compromises and a few major gameplay ones in the console versions, and these have only been amplified by the focus on next-generation tech.

Next gen then Lt Swanny, sir!?

Well unfortunately but not for me all of my Playstation 4 games I have ordered are FPS..

So you sure will get the Timey treatment all about the games and the Playstation 4 come November 29th.....

If ever there was a day I didn't want Shopto.net to let me down it would be November 29th..they never have and they better not on this day ....I will be frightened to go to the toilet in case the courier knocks the door with a feather and disappears 5 seconds after....

Wish I felt the same but unfortunately I've got a little bored with it all,don't know if it's because I know what's on the horizon or what.?

I know one thing that there is not many suppliers that have any copies of the game and I'm certainly not knocking the game as I think if your into this sort of thing then you got gaming heaven.

But much prefer to play The Last Of Us for the third time and a decent FPS which hopefully will be Shadowfall in a month....

The more I see of this game the more impressed I am .

Just ordered BF4 from shopto
Going to give it ago

Refrain from using Blockbusters then,consoles are in short supply if you read the gaming press but there are quite a few guaranteeing them for Christmas.

What's your choice of console by the way".....and don't say Xbox one else your temporary banned

Bet it will drop through the letterbox tomorrow as well

I'm sure given the amount you love the franchise you will find it better than Battlefield 3.

Have you seen all the videos of it on YouTube on next generation consoles...it certainly looks the DogsDangles

Edited by time2die (Wed 30-Oct-13 17:02:14)

I've seen a few vids but we all know the games never look exactly like they do in the vids so I don't pay much attention to them

Thats not exactly true in the form of looks only if you compare how they showed Battlefield 3 on a High End PC where all console owners got the shock of there lives once they purchased the game.

I agree that game don't play as good as they seem to,but the game looks drop dead gorgeous on Playstation 4 and Xbox One and miles apart from what i saw on a Playstation 3.

Now weather the game is any good we will have to wait and see,and since you are a avid battlefield fan i will look forward to your thoughts and opinions.

Even though i think it looks stunning on next generation consoles you will have had a clear 4 week start to get the feel of what you like and what you don't and if its good or if its bad.

And based on that information i may not decide to get it and choose KNACK Instead because it desperately needs the sales and only some bloke called Nelster has bought it.

I guess its another "sell on hype".

here some footage, I admit it looks nice, but I am not a fan of FPS in general and even if I would be saying the game has to be good ultimately to play and not just look nice, but if its graphics you into the PC version at least looks nice.

On the next gen I do expect the gap to close a lot so whats in that video is probably close to what will be on the PS4 in visuals.

My American mate was back on GTA last night having a laugh. Says it all really
Last night I filled my garage up with nice cars, don't have money to buy the super cars yet. Scottish mate bought a cheaper apartment about $130 which comes with a 6 car garage and it's really close to mine and is fine just doesn't have a view. Gaming for me has now changed into having fun. The people I play with have changed as well, they used to swear and call names but now they laugh and joke about

Never a good sign

Not totally decided, but as have a cash balance on Xbox Live leaning that direction.

I am one of those that uses the console for gaming and TV

interesting is although ps plus is required for multiplayer, sony have chosen to not require it for tv services.

netflix etc. dont require a psn subscription on the ps4.

Who actually cares about sites like Netflix when you have Sky Movies and many other ways of watching movies without the need of Netflix ,Amazon,Love Film and all the rest.

netflix customers care.

sky movies is a (overpriced) scheduled broadcast mechanism which in todays age is dated, its why services like netflix exist.

Edited by Chrysalis (Thu 31-Oct-13 20:18:53)

I care about them as I do not have Sky Satellite TV but have Netflix and NOW TV (Sky), currently the PS3 is the only device I have aside from PC's that can access them. So I find it very useful that the console has these services and I am sure many others do.

Edited by astateoftrance (Thu 31-Oct-13 20:30:51)

Well each to there own i guess but on a personal level all i care about regarding a console is that it does one thing and thats play games.

Yeah I agree the games should always be the priority when making a console but the streaming apps/services are a nice addition. The availability of them wouldn't make me choose one console over another though because after all standalone media streaming devices aren't that much now.

Yeah i do use my playstation 3 as a media device for streaming my MyBook live stuff refference Twonky or whatever they call it.

Saying that its hit and miss when it actually shows the media in the folders,lots of times it says no data and i normally end up connecting to my book live and having to do another scan or Rebuild of all the data i have added.

When it works its nice and it means i don't have to have this iMac on to stream data,now according to reports the playstation 4 has no media server capabilities and won't play MP3 either.

Seems all these basic things you expect to work with next generation consoles are now been revealed that they won't after all the pre/orders have been placed.

Yeah I think I had issues with missing files when I tried using my external HD plugged into the router, haven't had any problems when using a USB memory stick though.

Seems all these basic things you expect to work with next generation consoles are now been revealed that they won't after all the pre/orders have been placed.

Look out, nelly's cross posting!

Bombardment!

How about of a Bluetooth headset firmware update because the majority of us have got £150 to £200 turtle beach and Pulse headsets that won't work.....how stupid is that...

I mean I got a PX5 turtle beach .....don't work ? But a PX4 according to turtle beach works straight out the box.....when did a PX4 become a newer model than a PX5 or do Turtle beach work backwards..

I thought that's what was meant by "legacy headsets" and will be dealt with in the immediate firmware update they're on about?

In other news, the pulse is a lovely headset, stylish modern design and extremely comfortable. But useless without the tuppence USB receiver that comes with it. And guess what? After mine being broken by the kids, it seems its not possible to purchase a replacement as Sony never catered for replacement parts. How wrong is that?

Still trying to decide what to do, but I think Sony UK receiving some sustained and repetitive correspondence will be a good start.

Yeah lets me and you petition them,I'm sure they will take some notice

Have you tried ebay for the usb part,and what sort of punishment was issues when your kids broke it��Here you are love have my Playstation 3

Well what a load of rubbish that is. The graphics are terrible compared to BF3 and even worst compared to GTA V
Even if the graphics were ok (PS4) it's still wouldn't be ok there's far too much stuff happening on the screen with HUD's, edges of your goggles and peoples names etc showing.
I want to trade it in
I played last night for a couple of hours, at the end I couldn't wait for the map to finish so that I could go and play GTA

If BF4 was going to be great I was going to use that as an excuse to buy a PS4. Unless GTA gets successfully ported to PS4 I'm keeping my PS3

So you don't like it then may be it's a reason why you should have upgraded because for you to say Battlefield 4 is rubbish is hard to swallow.

What I have seen of it on a Playstation 4 it looks stunning,how it plays is something else but I have seen quite a few videos of other people playing it on P4 who think it's pretty awesome.

Are you saying graphically it's poor or gameplay also.

I'm going to keep monitoring theses Battlefield 4 posts on here even though we are talking last generation looks,but if the negativity surrounding this game continues from you and whoever else has got it then I have plenty of time to cancel P4 pre/ order and get KNACK Instead

It's graphically very poor on the PS3 and game play is also rubbish, far too much [censored] on the screen that interferes with you line of sight. The water textures are a joke. I had a good look at a parked car, the level of detail was extremely bad. There is no comparison to GTAV

I'm sure it will look fantastic on the PS4
But in my opinion it was only released on the PS3 as a way to make some quick money. It should have been PS4 only. But even then there is too much unneeded junk on the screen

Well I did say when I downloaded and played the Playstation 3 beta it looked chronic and thought it was a Playstation One game based on the textures and graphics.

I will be watching very carefully what the Yanks have to say in 13 days as they have a clear 2 week playstation 4 release date before us in Europe .

I have looked at a lot of people's reviews on the playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions and the majority are quite impressed,may be they are not as fussy as myself.

Plenty of time to cancel pre/ order and I won't hesitate once I see what they have to say about the Playstation 4 version,only then will I make a informed decision on getting it or not.

There is not exactly a lot to choose from having got Ghosts and Killzone and the cancelation of Watchdogs.

If BF4 was going to be great I was going to use that as an excuse to buy a PS4. Unless GTA gets successfully ported to PS4 I'm keeping my PS3

You know more than me from the gameplay aspect you mention, but as far as looks go, it's a no brainer.

Or download it from Digital Foundary straight onto your PS3 here Swanny.

She looks lovely

At 1.27 ish I was playing that map last night, most of the time the screen is covered in players tags even when they weren't in the same room as me. Too much writing on the screen for my liking. It does look good on the ps4
Maybe I'm getting too old for FPS :/

Yeah you are...

So you don't like it then may be it's a reason why you should have upgraded because for you to say Battlefield 4 is rubbish is hard to swallow.

What I have seen of it on a Playstation 4 it looks stunning,how it plays is something else but I have seen quite a few videos of other people playing it on P4 who think it's pretty awesome.

Are you saying graphically it's poor or gameplay also.

you talk as if visuals is all that matters. you buy games just because they look good?

there will be people who dont like bf4, you have to respect their opinions.

I am not talking about myself, as since I am not into FPS games, its unlikely I will play it, but there will be FPS fans who play it and dont like it.

Totalbiscuit who reviewed the game said he thinks its good but he forsee's himself getting bored quickly as it offers nothing new in terms of gameplay over bf3. His opinion not mine. A guy who has played a lot of bf3.

That would really bug me as well Swanny.

If they released GTA online on the PS4 in glorious 1080p, I could live without FPS altogether. I did read a blog somewhere recently, that suggested the true next gen GTA ought to evolve to first person. Now that would be gaming heaven for me.

Yeah and i thought it looked pants on the playstation 3 beta and i do respect peoples opinions only saying the playstation 4 version looks far nicer.

And don't tell me graphics don't matter,graphics in a game make it ultra realistic especially in a game of size and scale of Battlefield.

And yes games i buy have to look good and have decent gameplay,i don't know any person that buys a game that looks tripe.

It's a progressive thing. If I try to go back to PS3 games after Killzone Shadowfall, I know it won't last five minutes. I struggle with a second play through to games I love, been there and all that. To me, it's a one off experience and cinematic story lines are important.

Then it's onwards and upwards.

I like the sound of that

Exactly....that's why I am not sure why people want to play old retro games from the past on there newer consoles,never have understood it and never will

It's a bit like playing the new drop dead gorgeous looking Tomb Raider which played and looked brilliant and then playing the awful looking first games that first graced the Playstation one.

At the time I thought they were brilliant because that was the advancement and technology at the time,but when you look at even attempt to play them now you actually say to yourself....oh my god these look terrible .

If a game looks stunning it usually has the gameplay to match....and oh my god Killzone Shadowfall looks next generation all the way?

this si a genre thing.

FPS is generally something where you pretend to be in a real world, so FPS gamers tend to be very into visuals. They overate resolution as well.

Since i play games to be in a fantasy world, many games I play eg. cartoony, anime based etc. the game only has to look good enough to play and look nice but doesnt need to be photo realistic.

If I had 2 games the same with one on a more powerful system with better graphics, yes I would pick that game, but where we are different is I value other things above graphics. But I think thats because you play FPS games and I dont.

I managed to buy an apartment last night. Nice place, it cost me $253k
Just in the process of filling the garage now, trouble is all the cars I steal have trackers fitted so I can't get them into my garage

Start a "friends only session" and knick the cars you want in there instead. They won't be modded but at least you get them to mod yourself (which is too damn expensive by the way ).

Bought a little bijou padette down at the beach last night for £150k. Thought it would be handy when the beach DLC arrives. No telescope or bong though.

Yeah lets me and you petition them,I'm sure they will take some notice

Have you tried ebay for the usb part

It's the other way around. There are plenty of headsets being sold on eBay due to broken or missing USB sticks.

...and what sort of punishment was issued when your kids broke it��Here you are love have my Playstation 3

They don't realise it yet, but when they watch me on my PS4, their PS3's will seem like the punishment.

Until you go out one day and decide one evening its time for a spot of gaming,only as you take your Killzone Shadowfall disk from its case its covered in Butter and Marmite.

Then as you place it in the dvd slot you find that blocked with a copy of KNACK

Damn you Mark Cerny and your family friendly ethos!

Do you play Borderlands 2 ?

no but borderlands did catch my attention as I like its stype of graphics.

however its a first person view game which I am not into.

I enjoyed Borderlands 2 but it got a bit "samey" fairly quickly.

So matey are the kids banned from touching your new pride and joy or are they allowed to have a go when your around,after all KNACK as you have explained is for the kids is it not��.Fibber ? �Liar Liar Pants on Fire

Once a wind up merchant always a wind up merchant ��Thats me��Come on you know you love the banter

Managed to jump on a train last night Great stuff

My Scottish mates apartment doesn't have a bong either :/

True - and one very annoying characteristic is that if you die (dont manage to get a kill during the last stand) all enemies health gets reset.

This is especially annoying when you battle B.U.N.K.3.R

I think Handsome Jack must be the only character who gets more sadistic as the game progresses...
