Gaming Stagnation
« on: August 30, 2013, 12:59:35 PM »
Its funny how after playing a game for a while you start to see it as basically being shit, and find so many problems with it.  We played ARMA2/Wasteland/Dayz to death there for about a year and now everyone has had their fill.  ARMA3 is just around the corner and looks like it really could deliver, so looking forward to that.

But why the post?  Well I've played a few games of BF3 over the last few weeks and really enjoyed it.  Even the ever acerbic Lucutus is on there playing looking for Level 1 salty tears.  I seen the BF4 ad the other day and it really appealed to me.  Seen one change there that made me think, hmmm.  The medics in BF4 have a limited number of revives, no more constant medic trains!!!

Its funny that you can go back to a game after a bit of a break and really enjoy it again.  Yes it has its faults, and yes BF4 is more DLC etc, but if you add up the cost and play it for 100 hours is it not bloody good value?

I had decided last weekend to not bother upgrading PC and to play an odd game on the XBOX, but a few days later I had paid out to upgrade! 

The morale of the story here is that we should maybe not enjoy the company we play with, the banter and the craic, and just go with the flow?

na, I've no interest in wasting more money on piss poor dice games so BF4 is highly doubtful for me, happy enough with Arma 3 coop missions for now, although the main map will be to big for the likes of wasteland imo

Yeah, I'm quite happy with Arma3 and anything it brings along with WoW (yeah yeah)
BF4 looks like its just more BF3, brings nothing new, for me at least its there next
to COD now.I'v already enjoyed the Invade and Annex mission in the Beta far more
than  anything I can remember in BF3. Sorry lads but as for BF4 you guys enjoy that
one I'll be quite happy with anything Altis offer's me of the coming months. Still I'll
be keeping an eye out for other games.

I think the point lads is, would the odd round of BF3 once in a while be really that horrible to endure? Like Derm says isn't it at this stage more about teh company and teh chat rather than the actual game?

Exactly the point I was making Kev.  I'm guilty of not trying certain ilks of games as well.  RTS just are not my thing but I might have to give one of them a try.

I'd play WoW no problem, but right at this minute I'd rather put that cash toward upgrading my PC.

Here's an idea, all the free to play game's on steam there. We should all agree on one we never played and download it and try it out
together some night ? A big old noob party, might be a laugh
