I think the transition for console gamers going from 24 players to 64 along with the upped graphical quality has been the key factors. It seems many have warmed to the sheer scale of the game along with the quality. Call of Duty is such a last gen game now and the contrast between both FPS games is massive. Even when it was was released on PC; Ghosts didn't look much different from MW2 and the 6v6 format is just embarrassing particularly on the larger maps. Players currently online: PC 88,394 PS3 91,507 XBOX360 86,795 XBOXONE 56,145 PS4 76,093 (source; bf4stats.com) PC has been very consistent along with the old gen consoles but 76k for the PS4 is staggering and it's only a matter of time until this eclipses COD. How many does Ghosts get on the PS4 usually? On PC, Ghosts averages probably 10k and peaks around 30k.

I'm glad I stuck with BF4 in the end and it's amazing to see how far it has come from the original release horror show and the glaring issues that plagued it for months after. Finally DICE has turned the screw and has not only recognised a string of game-breaking issues, but has fixed them making this game not only playable but very enjoyable. Their relationship will the community has been impeccable in the last few weeks despite receiving much hate worldwide. Good job to them! I think for a lot of next gen gamers; the sheer upscale of the console version is just a snippet of what is possible in the future. It's games like Battlefield 4 that really demonstrate the sheer depth and power which makes Call of Duty look very bland and dated now. Ghosts is essentially a 360/PS3 game at heart, forward-ported and despite BF4 also appearing on the old systems; at least this game was made for the next gen and back-peddled to give fans an opportunity to play before upgrading. The difference is immense. An epic leap forward. With interest and morale in COD at a all-time low; BF4 is definitely an amazing alternative and streets ahead in so many different areas.

I experience this occasionally when joining a server particularly if I enter a vehicle. It only lasts 20 seconds or so but it's a bit silly and needs to be addressed via the 646th patch

Put this in the pit NOW lol!

I hope to stop smoking is my new years resolution. Sadly this has been mine for the last decade!

Well Man City beat Palace 1-0. Ugly win but a win is indeed a win and a tough time of the year. Man Utd make it four on the bounce I think also. Cardiff blew a 2-0 lead to Sunderland as they conceded twice in the final 7 minutes as it ended 2-2 and Hull destroyed Fulham 6-0 and Hudds is finally getting his afro cut after scoring for the first time in 18 months or so! West Ham 3-3 WBA looked game of the day. Looking forward to tomorrows games; Chelsea v Liverpool and Newcastle v Arsenal.

You are definitely better off flogging a game on eBay now as opposed to trading it in. I bought PES 2014 on the Xbox 360 on the day it came out; didn't like it so i thought I'd trade it in for FIFA 14. I paid £40 for it and they offered me £15.50 trade or £11.85 for cash two days later. I popped it on eBay instead and sold it for £35! I've always tried to support them as they are pretty essential to the declining high street particularly in the UK and for the personal service but now they are becoming increasingly crafty, untrustworthy and most of the people they employ are fucking clueless! I couldn't even get a Steam gift card for my friend the other month for this birthday because the moron serving didn't know how to do it on the till.

Nice! I've only had a small peek of the standalone but will hope to have a decent playthrough over the weekend.

I haven't been tubed once on PC which is a bizarre for a COD game . I'd happily be killed by a raving noob-tuber as opposed to a camper!

Is that the mod or standalone you're playing Harrison?

Well that's wrong for starters

Looks like even Diddums enjoyed it down Rileys! I bet Dave has never even visited this thread

Lost Planet 3 for £7.49 from £29.99

Really good to see it working well on PS4! Seems to be a bit more solid on the PC now which is a massive step considering how shocking it was for the first 10 weeks. Still not perfect but I'd happily see this standard maintained.

I think they were throwing in all the key games along with Knack (well they had to get rid of that somehow lol!) plus the Vita. They wouldn't even sell me a single unit because it 'would unbalance the stock' despite me preordering one and having it guaranteed in writing that it would be available before Christmas. I will write them a strongly worded email with an attachment of a picture of my middle finger

Basically I was in two minds as to whether I'd get a PS4 yesterday or just exchange my £20 pre-order for a gift card and get the machine at a later date. So I popped into GAME still undecided and wasn't entirely sure if they had any in stock. I wasn't notified despite them saying they would 1) guarantee a console before Christmas 2) send me a text/email to tell me that my pre-order was available. Anyway I spoke to the manager who informed me that they had some in stock but only bundles ranging from £649.99 to £799.99. I asked as to why my console-only order was not available and he couldn't give me a satisfactory answer. I also inquired as to why a shop of a company with an alleged cash-flow meltdown could stock such lavish bundles and have such a quantity available in-store. He couldn't answer that. By now, I was more than delighted to exchange my pre-order for a £20 gift voucher. This put him in quite a shitty mood. One of his colleagues informed me on the quiet that GAME had deliberately stocked high-value bundles to match the inflated prices currently available online through the likes of eBay. This method gives the customer a massive package when compared to the £500+ sellers on the internet want for just the console. I can understand this logic to some extent but I feel as if the company that I have supported for over 15 years has completely shafted me of their initial promise. The bundles are good when totted up individually but there is no way in hell I'd drop £650-£800 large across the counter. I wouldn't even pay that for a new PC in this climate. I am very disappointed in GAME's sly move to inflate their own prices through top-end packages to deter people away from the net sellers. The manager quoted he 'had loads in stock' but that is probably a number of customers's consoles that were supposed to be just single units and not bundles. Looks like I wasn't the only one that was screwed over a treat. I'm done with GAME now. I always support the high street retailer over the net for certain goods but this is a bit of a rotten trick to pull this time of the year. I wasn't notified and what I ordered wasn't correct either. They've pretty much used my money to buy in products that I didn't ask for. I have my gift card and I will take something off of them but that will ultimately be the last thing I purchase from this company.
