The Video Games Thread II - The Resurrection

[Stan Hullis]

I've picked Skyrim up for £27 from Asda.

Pretty reasonable IMO.

Look forward to my first play soon!

Make sure you add us on Xbox Live, Jack. What other games do you have?

 

[Stan Hullis]

They've been posted before but I can't be bothered to trawl through.

Xbl gamertags?

 

[Langers]

Yes - so we can be online chums.

By the way - I've a copy of FIFA 11 you can have for cheap if you want it - I won't play it much.

 

[Stan Hullis]

I got a copy of FIFA 12 with my console! Cheers for the offer though!

 

[t3ch]

Star Wars: The Old Republic arrives tomorrow!

 

[Toon Wolf]

I got married in Skyrim today. Can't remember her name though. You can see I took the relationship seriously...

Fifa 12, Battlefield 3 and Skyrim for now.

Will probably get COD once it comes down in price

Star Wars: The Old Republic arrives tomorrow!

Got in yesterday. You'll be ok with the US servers. The EU ones are have up to 2 hours queue even on early access. There are as many german and french servers as english ones too. They seriously need to sort this before the 20th when it goes officially live.

Those 2 are both excellent choices. For multiplayer shooters I've never played a game better than BF3. It's a bloody hard learning curve though, mate, expect to die over and over again! Once you're into it it is first class though. Add me to your friends list and I'll play a game with you, even though I am currently without a headset or mic...

Gamertag is Bills Wolf.

I'll be getting COD and Fifa 12 in the new year.

Me? Well I certainly hope so...

Empire on Fatman.

edit -- looks like server may change, stand by...

FIFA 11 + Lampard for FIFA 12?

Start the thread, Jack.

:icon_lol:

I'll do you a straight swap for Rooney!

 

[Stan Hullis]

Annoying at the moment.

Xbox have changed my gamertag from when I previously had my xbox! Think I may just have to set up a new account as my settings keep saying I am in America when I am clearly not!

Anyone struggling with MW3, try lag compensation.

And if anyone plays on Xbox 360, please add me - tallulie

Anyone struggling with MW3, try lag compensation.

What's that?

 

[Toon Wolf]

What's that?

Beat me to it, LW. How does that work? I can guess from the phrase what it is and what it does, how do you set your Xbox up to make use of it?

 

[b3h]

In simple terms you do something on your laptop that uses a fair amount of net, i.e. download a film, this basically is what a lot of people do - You know when you reckon they saw you and shot you before you even had chance? Or you shoot them loads (as it seems) and they then get you? They could be doing this.

Many people are complaining that MW3's lag compensation is actually making it worse for someone with good connection, and the person with bad connection has an upperhand - Hence why people spam some torrent downloading whilst playing.

Google it - I am not up on the details really.
