Operation Flashpoint for £3.30! I don't even want that game but for christs sake, £3.30!



Bought :\.

 

[throdgrain]

Waste of £3.30 to be honest

 

[MYstIC G]

I'm tempted. Is it any good because it's got seriously mixed reactions.

PS: Ghostbusters was well worth it, not a great game (very point and click) but the scripting is so funny.

 

[nath]

85% off though!!!

And dunno meg, I didn't think much of the demo but sod it, I'm not going to miss 3 quid.

 

[MYstIC G]

Meh, I'll stick with Ghostbusters and both Max Payne games then.

 

[Mabs]

this would be the Op Flash that codemasters have abandoned about 3 months after release, and are never patching again or even supporting ?

must be good

Loved Bioshock 2, a few people said it wasn't that good so I resisted buying it when it was new but very pleased with it at £7.50 or whatever it was.

Cheers for the heads up. It seems there will also be no more content either: 16/02 - Confirmation of no further patches or additional DLC - Codemasters Forums

Arma II doesn't come anywhere near the discount though

Save 50% on ARMA II on Steam

£12.49

 

[nath]

And it's 50p cheaper from Amazon/Play anyway.

 

[Raven]

Commandos series for £3.00, rude not to.

 

[Yaka]

cant belive some of these very olden games you guys aint pld yet,

 

[Raven]

Don't equate buying again to not played yet...There are some classics on there at the moment, I would rather pay £3 than go rummaging through boxes to find the original CDs, actually I think I may have had commandos on the PS1.

anyone thinking on buying apb

APB to run adverts over voice chat PC News - Page 1 | Eurogamer.net

how shit

 

[Raven]

I was looking at it but from what I have seen and what I have heard, its pretty shit.

 

[MYstIC G]

Demo of APB really didn't hold my interest tbh. Too laggy, cars didn't control smoothly. That said the "pay as you go" time/credit thing I think is quite sensible rather than the standard £120 a year.

lol this again.
a few actual facts

1- its MAX of one per 3 hour, on zoning, for most people, thats one PER SESSION
2- its on the VoiceOverIP software, which is THIRDPARTY, and is FREE TO USE
3- you can pay 2$ / month to remove adds
4- or you can DISABLE VOIP and its a non-issue

 

[Raven]

Or you can just use Vent.

That doesn't detract from the fact that the game itself is still pony though. It won't be around in 6 months time.

 

[Mabs]

Or you can just use Vent.

exactly, which is what i do, so the ads is a non issue

i really dont see the prob of a small charge/infrequent advert to use voip in game - and its not team things, its from your toon, which i find annoying tbh, but if you stand in social, people can actually just stand around -chatting-

 

[Scouse]

If you don't react in an over-the-top manner to encroaching advertising in any medium then you shoot yourself in the foot.

Or do we not think that heavy resistance to the smallest of things makes advertisers aware that they could do brands damage by turning up where they're unwelcome?

Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 any good?

 

[nath]

Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 any good?

I can't get in to it to save my life but I'm told by someone who likes it that it's absolutely ace. Very difficult to play, supposed to be very realistic so no gung-ho tactics but yeah, not for me. As far as I recall, by the folks that did Killing Floor,

 

[MYstIC G]

£13.21 for Borderlands with all the DLC

 

[FuzzyLogic]

Bahhhh

 

[Embattle]

I was tempted but I've got enough games and the bill for my bike keeps going up

 

[Raven]

Bought

Got to love Steam!

 

[Rubber Bullets]

And today Just Cause 2 half price. Curse Steam and curse PayPal

RB

 

[nath]

Though it's 5p cheaper at retail and registers on Steam anyway so don't feel compelled to order today, it's not that special a deal.

 

[Raven]

Yes but that involves either waiting for it to be delivered or having to go into a shop (I feel dirty even saying the word!)

Good point, but too late; bought it already

Though at the speed the download's going I could probably have got it sooner through the post.
