Man, that's so sad. I was really looking forward to this, now I'm unsure. I may do as you suggested and see if I can get some playtime in for free before deciding if I'm willing to spend money on it.

I rented it, it was well worth the few quid I paid! I just would have been gutted with it at full game price. It does have some of the best bits from the AC series inside of it though.

Servers seem down for now sadly.

I'm sure Hump if friendly fire becomes a problem they'll put in a better measure to stop people getting put off by that. Though friendly fire should be allowed in any case.

EDIT: They are up. Rhogar on Miller server under Terran Republic.

Was having some issues with logging on earlier.. might be due to the server thing you mentioned. I kept getting sent to American servers i think.
If you lot wanna play later though, im up and ill force Quin along.

Yeah boi! I'll be coming on with a few IRL mates after I get back from going out. Excited for this!

Anyone playing HALO4 on Xbox? We can team up and rape some players.

No I'm playing Halo 4 on PS3.

You sure? I play it on my 3DS, the limited edition for the 3DS version was awesome. You got a real spartan suit. Now I live at the moon.

Will download the client tonight. From tomorrow on I'll once again be one of those sneaky buggers up in the mountains trying to score a kill in the name of TR.

Sniper duels be crazy,yo.

The snipers are hilarious right now. I had a sniper who decided to cloak and run right into me then around me. He thought I couldn't see him and he proceeded to run on behind me, I turn and gun him down. Easiest kill I had.

Then there was the incident where I sneak solo as heavy into a building and gun two venu's by the window and run up, empty the rest of the clip on a max then run in to knife him. <_<

This game is mega fun.

Loads of new people who have no idea how things work. Snipers thinking they're completely invisible doesn't surprise me in the least.

But when you manage to sneak behind the enemy lines and start shooting them in the back...glorious moments.

I'm downloading PS2 right now.

by **Humphry** Thu Nov 22, 2012 5:40 am

So I just finished the final episode of the Walking Dead game. Some of you didn't like the game play style, but holy fucking shit that entire first seasons story! They are some pretty dark guys. And the final scene at the end of the credits... How can they do that and then make you wait a year for the following season!?

I now need to smoke and do something happy cos if you really get into that series it's fucking depressing.

I've been saving myself for it ... to buy in one big sale!

Now's your chance, you can get a rather tasty saving atm over here.

by **Grufftoof** Thu Nov 22, 2012 11:56 am

I got killed the second I landed (literally had no time to even move). I deployed again. Same. Then I actually survived for a bit. Then got run over by a team mate.

At one point I managed to kill someone! Only to be killed by a team mate again.

There's something enjoyable there, inside Planetside 2. But I'm not sure I can be arsed weedling out that nugget of good...

In other news, I played DOTA2 (the beta that isn't a beta?) and enjoyed it. Way more than I thought I would.

by **Humphry** Thu Nov 22, 2012 11:59 am

Yeah, it does seem that around 90% of the tanks kill more of their own team by running them down than they do any opposition with their weaponry.

by **Vaell** Thu Nov 22, 2012 12:02 pm

I'm waiting for my mates to download it tonight, Planetside is definitely a game that is 10x as fun with a group.

Humphry, I've bought it! I won't play it just yet, I have a few games to check off first, but come january time I will!

by **Nifty** Thu Nov 22, 2012 12:15 pm

Look both ways before crossing the road. I’m sure you learned this as a kid, but for some reason we can’t get anyone to volunteer as a crossing guard at the Warpgates. Actually, this is good advice even off road. Be careful crossing any kind of terrain, especially if you can hear motors revving. Almost nobody wants to run you over if you jump out in front of their tank, but still, everybody will.

by **Lavian** Thu Nov 22, 2012 12:18 pm

I rarely get run over in all my time playing PS2. I've only had it happen once or twice. Though I did run someone over in a Flash today because the idiot ran right into my line of path without looking to see if anyone was coming by. This was at a base with lots of vehicles on the road anyway.

Though I played some with Lini today and I piloted a Liberator. We got under heavy fire and I landed and we got out so I could repair/we wouldnt blow up inside. At that moment my Lib is on 5% health or something and wasn't being shot at but sliding down a hill. I chase after it as an engineer to repair it only for some asshole team-mate in a liberator to shoot my own fucking liberator to debris.

OK SO HERE IS A LITTLE RANT AT THE SIMS

So I saw new content for the Sims 3 came out and I thought, "Those prices seem a little odd for an old game." then I had a little look into the steam prices...

So with the Sims 3 being almost two years old now, with 16 DLCs that add in stuff like a few new bits of furniture, some new town spots to visit, some new clothes and a seasonal change, you're thinking: Well, the game itself should be about 10 - 15 pounds, then each DLC maybe a fiver at best? Considering it is EA. So all in all, you may think - well it'll probably cost like £80 (99 euros) for the entire pack. Rip off!

Nope. To buy all of the Sims 3 games, it will cost you a staggering £355 (439 euros). They get away with selling some new clothes and furniture in a DLC pack for 30 quid!

EA!!!!!

You're a life saver. Not ten minutes after I read this post I learned my other half wanted to get the sims 3 and buy it in a shop here. Norway being Norway, thats just expensive. Then I told her about the sale.
