    *shrug* I wish I could help you out, I've never gone shopping for an account or had the desire to sell one, so it's out of my realm of experience.

    Currently working my way through the Battlefield 4 campaign. From what I can gather the majority of fans gave it a thumbs down, but I'm loving it! It's a great war game - nothing more nothing less. It kind of reminds me of when I use to play 'army' as a kid, crawling over rubble hills on building sites with a stick for a rifle.

    I wanna talk about Star Wars BF.

    Never been a big online multiplayer - chiefly because I'm crap compared to these guys and last about 12 seconds before dying. This is me in a lobby full of seasoned pro gamers: Enter lobby > 10 seconds > Die > Respawn > 7 seconds > Die > Respawn > 12 seconds > Die ......

    So... is it going to be worth my while buying SWBF? I understand there's no SP campaign, but they do have an option called Missions where you play AI players, offline, but according to some things I've read, the maps for these modes are fairly limited.

    *snickers with you, not at you*

    It's pretty hard to get killed in WoW unless you're PvPing (or fighting really big nasty bosses like I do). I mean. You have to kinda try to get eaten by that level 2 wolf. Fire's bad, don't stand in it. So, hats off to you, friend, for achieving the nearly impossible. :rofl:

    AI must be British for NPC. <.<

    *ahem* Is there a demo you can try? Is this a standard-price game with only half the content? What are the pros and cons? How limited are the maps?

    AI- artificial intelligence. Plus there is almost nothing good on the ground in Wow that you EVER want to stand in. :geek:

    I know AI = Artificial Intelligence. But we don't call computer-controlled characters "AI players" over here. We say NPC.

    Why are you all talking about WoW? Believe me, there's nothing impossible about getting killed in the type of games I play.

    22 attempts so far. I've seen about four people with it already... I could not be more jealous. :wtf:

    Back to farming.

    Do any of you stop and imagine your perfect game, or am I just sad that way?

    Mine is inspired by DayZ, and would be a pure apocalypse survival without the clichéd zombies.

    DayZ for anyone not familiar



    It would have a HUGE open-world with pilfered towns and villages, and great expanses of dense forest and wasteland.

    First-person, but done more realistically than any other first-person game has ever been done before.

    There would be an option to play in real-time; 2 hrs of real time = 2 hours of game time, and the game would use the console / PC's internal clock to set the time of day, meaning the time of day in the game would reflect the time of day you're playing the game.

    There would be no on-screen HUD, at any point during gameplay, breaking the immersion, and for this reason the game would require a keyboard (even for consoles) because of the number of inputs required to do all the various tasks. All these could be mapped to your desires.

    My main aim would be realism and to create a game that forces you to survive in a world that you really wouldn't want in real life. Cos let's be honest, the thought, at least, of an apocalypse stirs some primal excitement in us all... doesn't it?

    Guys... I started WoW again last week. I'm glad I did because I proved to myself that, over the years, I've developed self-control. I can easily log out after an hour without feeling that urge I used to feel as a teen to stick for another x minutes/hours to finish a quest line or complete a dungeon/raid. I'm also more attentive to the lore as I've actually been reading NPC dialogue . Within the NPC texts are some surprisingly insightful life lessons. As a kid I could have leveled up in life too had I read said texts! The WoW population has noticeably decreased. Origimmar isn't the bustling marketplace it used to be. But that's not necessarily a bad thing as I won't be kill stolen (ksed) or killed as often.
    If anyone is wondering, I am a Draenei Paladin and I kick ass.

    @VitaminC Welcome to the forum and hi. :-D Have you been following the Legion hype? It's so real.

    So real, I tell you.

    @Imaginarily Yes I have! The Legion hype is what intrigued me and ultimately convinced me to pick up WoW again.
    SO excited.

    I recently started playing fallout 3 (also about a tenth through skyrim), I'm a generation behind due to being poor but I prefer it that way since it takes me aeons to complete and progress in games lol. What a strange environment it is to get used to, just this brown screwed up scrubland with some weird, whacked out settlements scattered every so often! Such a contrast to skyrim's ephemeral atmosphere, I dig it, now that I realized I wasn't leveling up because I'd set it to very easy therefore got cruddy exp points...

    I spent like two hours attempting to level up enough to defuse that bomb and get the house to store my items in Megaton, it's a lot better now I can actually store stuff, exactly the same problem I had in skyrim!

    If you're sick of raiders being able to take dozens of bullets to the head without dying, there are mods for realistic weapon damage and iron sights.

    The VATS in FO3 takes care of that quite nicely. Along with the Grim Reaper perk and Better Criticals, you're pretty much death on two legs.
