  1. Not with that attitude you won't. Sorry if my post came across as abrasive earlier, but it's time for you to remove the rose tinted goggles and look at the bigger picture. Look at all the old games we had which were one time release and that was it. Bugs were much less, they had a million times more content*, no DLC, and they were more often than not quality products. Just because it's the only way to play AAA titles doesn't mean we need to accept it. I certainly don't anymore and refuse to pay launch prices for broken games. Anthem is a crock of shit for £60. The Division 2 is going to be a crock of shit for £60. Don't even think about arguing, you know just as well as I do that behind the scenes the developers are being pushed to code until there's no skin on their fingers to meet deadlines so that the shareholders get an extra point on their portfolio. I predict all the usual culprits: Unbalanced PVP. Broken netcode. Bugs everywhere. Lack of content (PRE-ORDER NOW FOR THE EXTRA CONTENT!) Broken party system or invites Disconnects Reskins everywhere of everything, from weapons to armour to bad guys I can go on, but you know exactly what the deal is because you've seen it all a million times before. Don't buy at launch. Don't pre-order. Will you as an individual make a difference? No, probably not, but with you there are already 4 people in this thread alone who aren't buying it on launch. We need to make the shareholders wake the fuck up and realise that we're not just cash cows for them and by buying on launch, pre-ordering and paying for bullshit you're merely preventing those of us who are making a stand from achieving our goal. Remember, it only takes a spark to start a fire. Be a spark lee. Don't be a fireman. Be a spark. Sadly this is true too. Humans are despicable creatures. Agent Smith put it well in that film with Neo in it:
  2. This stops here. Lee, imma just go out and say it: You're everything that's wrong with the gaming community and the reason we're getting fed up. Your incessant ability to to keep bending over and feeding them more and more money whilst turning a blind eye to declining quality standards and content quantities is exactly the reason the quality declines and games become less and less and more reliant on DLC and microtransactions. We're not talking about some plucky little developer who's trying to make it big, we're talking about companies who make BILLIONS in PROFIT. This is after all the mouths are fed, the rent is paid, the lawsuits have been quashed, this is 100% PROFIT. Whilst I'm not saying that they shouldn't make ridiculous amounts of profit, what benefits are we seeing because of this? Ah that's right, none. We get lag, bugs, unfinished products, paywalls, NPCs that disappear in the middle of cut scenes, staggered launches based on how much you pay, I can go on and on. It's unacceptable and you're the mug for accepting it. And once the launch dust has settled? LOL MOAR DLC PLS PAY. They know damn well that if they release a cracker of a game that their revenue stream will slow down because their new products won't be as lucrative. So they don't. Instead they release mediocre stuff and then make us pay for the privilege of more content when in reality this is all stuff that was probably created using the original budget and has merely been cut out so we can pay for it at a later date. So no, the problem isn't that people can't afford more than one game. If someone wants a game they will make a plan. Might take a week, might take two, but it'll happen. We're talking about a £60 game here, not a £20k car. The problem is that companies have been taking the piss for so long that those of us who aren't blinkered by "omg they're all so amazeballs and we're so lucky to have them" are getting fed up. You know exactly how good a game can be on launch day, yet you still natter on about how it's always the gamer's fault? Come on Lee. Don't be so naive.
  3. No, I'm just not drinking for a bit again and it sucks the fun out of everything, especially fucking you all up on track.
  4. That'll be £60 please. The rest of the characters are in lootboxes, see if you can unlock them! Special price, today only, £5 each!
  5. There's a Forza game free atm on PC, not sure which one it is but I whatsapped it to most of you. Mebbe give it a go?
  6. Not for a while for me.
  7. I really wish I knew how to do music. I suck at it. I want to learn how to shuffle too. Fuck, I'm gonna be the embarrassing dad aren't I? COME ON SHANIQUA, GIVE YOUR DAD A HUG BEFORE YOU GO IN TO THE CLASSROOM ❤️
  8. Marvel's done. It's milked dry, there's not much else to do with it. Every man and his dog has a superpower or ability now. We need more DC stuff. Suicide squad was decent and a good foundation.
  9. You should be ashamed of yourself. Leigh, get your shit together and make another CAH night. @GazzaGarratt
  10. The film itself wasn't bad, it's that duet they do which is all over the radio that pisses me off. They sound absolutely shitfaced, it's fucking dreadful.
  11. If you see Lee aim you'll understand why he doesn't notice anything wrong.
  12. Hi Joyfreak, welcome to the forum. I have taken the liberty of removing your signature, bio, profile pic, banner and any other links you somehow managed to hide behind this bullshit facade. Should you however wish to upgrade to the advertising package please send an email to iamafreeloadingtwat@forevergamimg.co.uk Thanks
  13. Correct, but I don't think it matters to Lee.
  14. Hi Danny, welcome to the forum. I've edited your post to add a bit more clarity. Good luck with the channel.

  17. Is team killing on? I want to teamkill Legohead up there^ Thanks to being friends with some of the finest people in the world I am now in possession of this game and it is currently installing. Hopefully I can hop on tonight.
  18. Don't drink and gun. You will die. A lot.
  19. Sigh, I can't be fucked anymore.
  20. I haven't played it yet but I already know enough from the few vids I've watched to know that I won't be buying it. When Division 1 came out I played it for a bit, got bored and lost interest. I recently installed it again and my character is level 16 and I'm doing it more out of boredom than because I'm enjoying it. I've watched a few vids on Division 2, and from what I can tell it's not even close to being a sequel, more of Division 1.5. Some are even saying that the setting feels less authentic than the original too, not as many ambient sounds, no civilians needing help, etc. Could be beta stuff though. It's a sale game for me, not a release game, just like Anthem. Back to division 1 I guess.
  21. Ja that's how it starts. Before you know it I'll be wiping your arse.
  22. Hi, sound familiar? I've been playing this a bit over the last few days and I gotta admit I'm really enjoying it. I don't know if it's the game which has improved, my tolerance that has improved or that there's basically fuck all out there which I want to spend money on, so I gave it a go. I started a new dude, he's currently level 12, same as @Bluebear (ish) and Leigh the Brummie started a new dude with me last night and I think we got him to level 7 or so. The baddies hit much, much harder and the missions seem to scale much better with group size. My only gripe is that they seem to scale to the highest level in the group, but not all the time which is irritating but this won't be an issue once I'm max level. The crafting seems to have been tweaked, I can now craft stuff at every level which is actually in many cases an upgrade to whatever I'm using, but the one thing I wish they'd change is the ability to craft stuff for others, I can make a nice blue gun for Leigh the Brummie but csn't trade it which sucks balls. I'm looking forward to getting stuck in to the dark zone too. I'd say give it a go, I only gave it a shot because I'm sick to death of Destiny and I'm glad I did.
  23. I think you need to finish your fucking thread titles you tit.
  24. It's Destiny 2 with flying. Voice in your ear? Check. Three classes? Check. Super abilitt? Check. Other abilities on cooldown? Check. I could go on, but I cba.
  25. Well said. It'll take a lot for me to spunk any money on a AAA title nowadays. Burned far too many times.
