Yeah I'd buy it but guaranteed the next day they'd announce the release of one with new processors. This looks great I must admit, could do a part exchange lol It does suggest that in a year or two there will be a version to handle contemporary games along with decent fps.... so looking forward to even better decks to come 😁

That's my main gripe, it makes it a priority over the connection. It should never be that way. Also the average player is miles better than years gone by. Mainly because of YouTubers etc, people know a lot more than they ever did. People are just a lot better on the whole. I don't mind a hard fought battle etc, but not every match. I want to level guns and camos. People are playing MW3 with Orion TAQ-56 etc.

I picked this one up a few days after release, and It'll be the next one I tackle once I'm done with Spider-Man 2. I've always preferred the classic side-scrolling SMB games, so this one was an easy buy for me. Plus, the couch co-op should be a lot of fun to play with @Rumelylady Adrian, and his wife. Anyone else pick this one up?

We struggled a bit with Bowser's Fury 3D so i'm wondering if this will be better given its 2D. Sounds like it would suit us playing this one as a 4 much better so may get it for Christmas Day fun game to play as a family.

I have moved to the ROG ally and haven't really looked back. The OLED screen is obviously a nice to have and I think the biggest thing for me on this release is the improvement in battery life, I think this is where all these devices need to work on for the moment and obviously Valve have made a positive step in that regard.

You would if you were a top player however for middling players that most of us are it does seem to flip flop you around as it places you up against sweats , you suck then throws you a bone rinse and repeat. Some also believe you get a better experience the more skins you buy. As for expecting ransoms to play the obj....this isn't new if it annoys you maybe just play tdm🤷

COD doesn't use typical SBMM by definition - that's just the basic term coined by users when they are hit by it. The games use EOMM and SBMM concepts. If the games used traditional SBMM like seen in many other competitive titles then every lobby would be painfully streamlined based on current skill but COD has retention-based factors (EOMM-driven) in play where you get buttfucked for a couple of games let's say, and then you can rest your ass with an easy match after, which baits you into playing more rinse and repeat. Lobbies disband and the back-end algorithms are desperately working and then there's instances where your connection may be manipulated or guns suddenly don't feel as effective. It's all phycological and artificial - you will have a great game but expect to also get battered in the same session especially if you are playing solo. COD games are scripted just as hard as FIFA and it's more obvious than ever. If people want a fair experience then a game like CS2 is the way to go - no P2W bundles, sub-tick servers, clean netcode etc. but games like COD are rigged to a degree and punishment always drives retention especially when Activision can flaunt their temporary P2W bundles as leverage. I remember playing Cold War where EOMM was so predictable, I could tell before a match exactly how it would go! COD should either use pure SBMM or exclusive connection-based matchmaking. This current EOMM-based monetised-matchmaking is just too much of a strain on the community especially if in-match factors are also impacting.

I don't know that you arguments make sense. If you a strong SBMM you would either always be playing againsts the tournament sweats (if you rule) or always be playing the Timmy-No-Thumbs (if you suck). Server based and no SBMM should be giving you random skill levels. My main complaint is the jackasses in objective modes that don't PTFO at all. When you are in a game of DOM and someone gets 0 caps but 30 kills, they are useless to the cause and they should immediately get thrown into 20 consecutive matches against bunny sweats 😉 . Same with KC that picks up 2 tags all game

Their revenues are likely still up because they just milk the people left over even harder. They'll probably just release a new £29.99 bundle every 3-5 weeks now to mitigate any lost players. Those that just played the games and didn't spend any money (like me and most others) aren't worth nothing to them after release so it's no big loss. Two bundles that cost nothing to produce instantly covers what I would've paid for the base game and there is a staggering amount of people with their wallets out willing to pay. Crap games, broken games, unfinished games - it doesn't mean anything to them because they always know they can recoup any lost revenue. They could sell a blank disc and still people will buy it. Fortnite is getting 6m players peak right now and the new update had 45m players because it's made to the highest technical and development standards possible. MW3 is so shambolic in comparison from an ethical and quality standpoint. I really hope Microsoft get their teeth into this brand unlike taking a backseat for profits like they did with Bethesda and really shake things up. Sack the board, remove this annual schedule and rebuild from the ground up. I also can't believe this is in the game - lost count of how many videos I've seen users get killed by this. Visibility seems bad enough on most maps without a near-invisible skin Pay-to-win 'Groot' skin is ruining MW3 matches, and CoD fans are furious - Dot Esports DOTESPORTS.COM There's no escape from the Gaia skin.

True but people are saying the numbers are down so🤷

The only way it'll change is if it starts losing them money. Activision won't care if they lose players as long as they don't lose the players that spend loads of money on the game. A few thousand people moaning on Twitter or Reddit doesn't matter to them.

Listening to people online this issue could be what kills the game for most. Hopefully it finally makes them change it....but I doubt it.

I know the MM system has been in the games since MW19 but it feels like it's been ramped up to 1000 in this game.

Personally, I wouldn't mind playing Timmy-No-Thumbs every time. Nevertheless, I like to keep in mind it makes the wins that slight bit sweeter when you beat the sweaty G-Fuel snorting bunny rabbits.

You know, this just pissed me off so much. I knew I should've waited to buy one. (Insert multiple swear words in various languages here.)

Well reluctantly watched expendables 4 last night and have to agree with the reviews I watched it is trash, no wonder Stallone seems to not to have wanted to be involved. So does anyone seriously believe Megan Fox would be the leader 🤣 also the way the film was produced you could pretty much see everything was filmed on a stage or it just looked fake as fuck. Hopefully this series is now finished because it definitely to a massive drop in quality.

We had a go the other day and played some co-op, what was great which might interest anyone with younger children. My wife and I was playing but we added my daughter in as a 3rd player, being only 4 she didn't really know what she was doing but we could take most of it at our own pace so we could slow down enough so she could at least see which way she was walking / running. It was great fun!

So far, so good. I'm enjoying this one. We haven't tried the co-op stuff yet, but It's your typical 2D style Mario game.

Agree, It'll be good for a laugh or 7. Here's a trailer too. I forgot to link one in my previous post.

My missus offered to order this last night after I showed it her, assuming she was serious about it I will be reminding her this evening and ordering it ^_^ It looks like something we could play together but the kids might also enjoy something so colourful on screen ^_^ Some of the clips I have seen of it suggest it looks quite good 🙂
